Tip to avoid malware from AUR: add node package managers to your IgnorePkg
by Fermín Olaiz 11 Jun '26

Friendly reminder that given most of the ongoing attacks are based on node packages you can always add the package managers to your pacman.conf's IgnorePkg as a second line of defense (assuming you don't use them). IgnorePkg = yarn bun pnpm npm nodejs-nopt node-gyp And remember to check your PKGBUILDs! :) Fermín Olaiz. PS: sent this to arch-general as I think it might be useful.

Can't boot anymore
by Philippe Delavalade 04 Jun '26

Hi. After a long sequence of troubles for booting (don't want to be boring with it), I did the following : 1) I boot with my installation DVD 2) I mount my arch partition nvme0n1p4 on /mnt 3) arch-chroot /mnt 4) I deleted my old efi partition nvme0n1p2 5) I created a new one on nvme0n1p5 6) I created directory /boot and mounted /dev/nvme0n1p5 on it 7) grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB 8) I made some modifications in /etc/default/grub 9) grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Now I get two entries in /boot/grub/grub.cfg : one for arch and a second for "UEFI Firmware Settings". But when booting, no output of grub menu ; I arrive directly in the bios (or firmware). How can I progress ? I attached four files : /etc/fstab /etc/defaul/grub /boot/grub/grub.cfg the output of "ls /boot" in boot.txt. Hope someone can help :-) I'm sending this from my laptop. regards. -- Philippe
