Updated on 25th to 6.15.3 + firmware (fine), update tonight to 6.15.4 + firmware, network not up, dhcpd4 fails?

All, I have my Arch server that has been running for a decade, updates weekly, never misses a beat. It has been so long since I've had an issue with it, I thought Arch had finally reached Linux rolling release nirvana. Then, for reasons I can't explain, the update tonight (an hour ago), failed to start dhcpd4. I can't ping the box, I have to log in locally and I find the network interface enp5s0 'down' - that's not happened since Arch was installed. So I bring the interface up: # ip link set enp5s0 up Presto, network is up, and well. So I try starting dhcpd4 and it fails "cannot create /run/dhcpd4/dhcpd.pid". There is no /run/dhcpd4 directory. So I created it and manually started dhcpd4 without -q and all starts fine and it is now happily handing out addresses and updating the bind DNS zone for about 60 clients. What happened? I did not install or uninstall anything new. I simply did a "pacman -Syu" to update the system.

xdg-desktop-portal does not start
by Radosław Kintzi 18 Jun '25

Hi, For some time, I have had a problem with screen sharing/capturing in Sway. I tested it using both Firefox and Chromium with Google Meet and this test page: https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html. I went through the troubleshooting checklist (available here: https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/wiki/%22It-doesn't-work%22-Troubleshooting-Checklist) to find out that xdg-desktop-portal.service is not started. Not that it fails. It is not even being attempted. How can I make it start? Below is what I tried. I noticed that xdg-desktop-portal.service is a "PartOf" graphical-session.target, so I configured my sway.target to bind to the graphical session. The Sway target is started in the Sway configuration, which includes a slightly modified 50-systemd-user.conf available in the Arch package: --- 50-systemd-user.sh --- # Upstream refuses to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP so we have to. exec systemctl --user set-environment XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway exec systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY \ SWAYSOCK \ WAYLAND_DISPLAY \ XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP exec hash dbus-update-activation-environment 2>/dev/null && \ dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd DISPLAY \ SWAYSOCK \ XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway \ WAYLAND_DISPLAY \ PATH exec systemctl --user start sway.target --- The sway.target is very simple: --- (~)$ cat .config/systemd/user/sway.target [Unit] Description=Sway target AllowIsolate=yes BindsTo=graphical-session.target --- This changed nothing, so I tried to start xdg-desktop-portal manually to find out that it ends with a core dump. Logs attached. Not sure if this is related to the problem that the service is not started or if it is an unrelated issue. Any advice? Thanks, Radek

[arch-general] Now that wine is actually wine-wow64, should wine-mono be moved from from multilib to extra?
by Javier 16 Jun '25

16 Jun '25

Hello ! Currently wine-mono [1] is still under the multilib repo, I guess now wine has actually become wine-wow64 [2], and the AUR package is now just a meta package installing wine [3], so I'm wondering if wine-mono should then be moved to extra instead. Perhaps the process is not complete yet. But as wine-mono is not on AUR, then if one doesn't include the multilib repo then wouldn't be able to find wine-mono...

[arch-general] jami consuming too much cpu and jami packages issues
by Javier 16 Jun '25

16 Jun '25

Hello ! I would file an issue on the Arch jami related packages, because they're not only outdated, but I believe due to that jami consumes way too much CPU, you listen to the fans working extra, and top shows 95% usage or more, no matter how fast your PC is. The reason I don't is that my phone broke and I didn't have my aegis data backed somewhere and I can no longer login to Arch gitlab, and as long time ago it happened he same to me and I was warned they wouldn't help me out a 2nd time, oh well. Anyone experiencing the same? I see jami-qt marked as out of date, but I see no issues filed against it, same for jami-daemon. opendht is not marked out of date, and the only issues is about C bindings, however opendht currently has a dependency problem, Arch moved to llhttp 9.3.0, however opendht was linked against llhttp 9.2: > % ldd /usr/lib/libopendht.so > linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ff662064000) > libfmt.so.11 => /usr/lib/libfmt.so.11 (0x00007ff661ffa000) > libllhttp.so.9.2 => /usr/lib/libllhttp.so.9.2 (0x00007ff661fe8000) So the only way to currently support opendht is: > % grep IgnorePkg /etc/pacman.conf > # Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup > IgnorePkg = llhttp libgit2 bat Meaning avoid updates on those 3 packages given their dependency chain related to llhttp, since both libgit2 and bat new versions on Arch depend on llhttp 9.3 already except for opendht, which then requires a re-build. BTW, current upstream opendht release is v3.4.0, meaning the Arch "1:3.2.0-2" ought an update anyways, meaning is also out of date, and by upgrading one gets the re-build required, :) So all jami related packages out of date, jami the application consumes too much CPU, and opendht besides out of date requires a re-build to link against current repos llhttp. Not sure how to notify the developers to deal with the jami current issues, perhaps someone could file issues on the packages, particularly opendht which doesn't even have an out of date mark. Thanks a lot ! -- Javier

Pacman lite?
by Pocket 14 Jun '25

14 Jun '25

Is it possible to build a neutered version of pacman? A pacman lite if you will.... I need to cut down on the dependencies pacman requires. Without key signing and package signing. I would like to only have package building and package management and pull from an http respository. This is for a custom built OS that I would like to use pacman on an ARM SBC. it currently uses rpm as a package manager. I would also like to build them using makepkg. -- Hindi madali ang maging ako

Issues with Viewers for "special" images
by Ralf Mardorf 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

Hi, yesterday after the latest updates I tried to view some "special" images. I tried to view a JPEG 2000 with extra/geeqie and with extra/krita and I tried to view some FITS {,demo} images with extra/stellarsolver and extra/kstars. I don't know if this worked before, it was the first time I tried to view those kinds of images by my Arch Linux install. It was impossible to view the JPEG 2000 and more or less impossible to view FITS images. Just extra/stellarsolver was able to view a FITS demo image, but failed most of the times, too. I was able to view the JPEG 2000 image on an iPad Pro. I don't want to troubleshoot those issues, I'm just interested if somebody was ever able to view JPEG 2000 and/or FITS images with applications from the official repos. Regards, Ralf
