What are you doing to run a Windows 11 guest on Arch Linux in Virtualbox?
by Ralf Mardorf 05 May '23

05 May '23

Hi, to run Windows 11 as Virtualbox guest I build Virtualbox < version 7. My current installed virtualbox was build against python 3.10.10-1. Today building against python 3.11.3-1 failed with "Checking for Python support: ** Python not found!". I can still start a Windows 11 guest with virtualbox build against python 3.10.10-1 on the machine that is updated to python 3.11.3-1. However, the situation threatens to become more serious. • rocketmouse@archlinux /.tmp/virtualbox-epoch1-6.1.40 $ pacman -Q python python 3.11.3-1 • rocketmouse@archlinux /.tmp/virtualbox-epoch1-6.1.40 $ grep SUPPYTHONLIBS= chroot/rocketmouse/build/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-6.1.40/configure SUPPYTHONLIBS="python2.7 python2.6 python3.1 python3.2 python3.3 python3.4 python3.4m python3.5 python3.5m python3.6 python3.6m python3.7 python3.7m python3.8 python3.8m python3.9 python3.9m python3.10 python3.10m" • rocketmouse@archlinux /.tmp/virtualbox-epoch1-6.1.40 $ grep " python (" /var/log/pacman.log | tail -1 [2023-05-04T01:05:49+0200] [ALPM] upgraded python (3.10.10-1 -> 3.11.3-1) • rocketmouse@archlinux /.tmp/virtualbox-epoch1-6.1.40 $ pacman -Q virtualbox virtualbox 1:6.1.40-708.1 I want to build virtualbox 1:6.1.40-708.2 against latest version of python. Maybe I don't need to do this, but soon or later I at least need to build against another dependency and then python is involved, too. Perhaps just adding python3.11 to configure's SUPPYTHONLIBS already does the job to build virtualbox, without fixing something else. If so, the end of building virtualbox < version 7 to run Windows 11 guests is still close. What are you doing to run a Windows 11 guest? Regards, Ralf

Python 3.11 timeline?
by David Rosenstrauch 04 May '23

04 May '23

Anyone know if there's any timeline on when we'll see python 3.11 get released to Arch? I emailed the maintainer about this directly recently, but didn't hear anything back. I know this is a big upgrade, and lots of dependent packages are involved, so this might require some time. I just was wondering if there was any roadmap/timeline for how long that might be. Thanks, DR

ttf-nerd-fonts conflict

Hi, there's a ttf-nerd-fonts conflict, one package removes the other package. One of the packages is flagged out-of-date, so I guess I shouldn't report a bug. However, it's a little bit annoying that I need to add ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-2048-em to IgnorePkg. "Do NOT report bugs when a package is just outdated, or it is in the AUR. Use the 'flag out of date' link on the package page, or the Mailing List.

How to use package from community-testing
by Łukasz Michalski 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Hi, I am running arch-linux with cyrus-imapd as mail server for several years and now cyrus-imapd appeared in community-testing. I am planning upgrade and switch from cyrus-imapd aur package to version from community-testing. What is a recommended way to test only this package? If I enable community-testing in pacman.conf, then doing pacman -Su will still pull official packages from community until I explicitly request a version from testing? Regards, Łukasz

As gcc 13 approaches, if you have C++ projects, time to check the changes
by David C. Rankin 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

all, There are changes in gcc 13 that primarily impact C++ regarding the headers automatically included, overload resolution and excess floating-point precision that can cause existing projects to not compile (or break). See: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-13/porting_to.html -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

What can be done to prevent messages from cluttering up log files?
by Ralf Mardorf 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Hi, assuming you can't get rid of the cause of messages flooding the log file, could you prevent writing with a filter? After all, only filtering when reading would not prevent the unnecessary growth of log files. I stumbled across the following which the solutions posted on the forums managed to fix. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=275022 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=280638 [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep threadirqs\ i /boot/grub/grub.cfg linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-label/m1.archlinux ro threadirqs ibt=off ipv6.disable=1 [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/acpi/events/buttons event=button/(up|down|left|right|kpenter) action=<drop> But what could you do if there were no such workarounds?

How can I troubleshoot virtualbox issues?
by Ralf Mardorf 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Hi, a self-build virtualbox 6.1.40 on old Intel Celeron hardware with a self-build 4.19-rt kernel worked even with a Windows 11 guest, while on a new Intel i3 13. gen hardware even linux 6.2.11-arch1-1 and virtualbox 7.0.8-1 from repos don't work with a Windows 10 guest. If I run "$ VirtualBox" and then try to start a Windows 10 (not 11) guest (guest additions are still 6.1.40) a small Window "Start" with a progress bar opens and nothing more happens, it stays at 20%. I need to pkill virtualbox processes to get rid of the windows, but before I can try to start it again, I need to shutdown the machine, a log out and log in doesn't work. Shutdown hangs with "A stop job is running ..." only pushing the reset button can finish shutdown, Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Alt+Del don't help.

Is a tool available to check the integrity of copied files?
by Ralf Mardorf 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

Hi, my google search was "does linux diff compare data using a cache". I'm trying to figure out what's going on. The first diff of 10 GiB of data copied from a SATA3 SSD to an USB 2 stick connected to an USB 3 port took around a minute, right after the copy finished. A second diff needed 3 seconds. Both returned exit status 0. It's impossible to read 10 GiB of data in 3 seconds from an USB 2 stick. Does diff use cached data instead of comparing the "real" files line by line? Google returned "diff isn't doing any caching. The OS is. If you are using Linux, you can flush the disk buffers and cache". I expected that diff ensures to compare the "real" files line by line, but seemingly diff isn't aimed to check integrity of data. Does a command exist that compares "real" files, not just cached files by default? I experience weird things with Raptor Lake hardware, especially if USB is involved and I want to check the integrity of USB transferred, saved files by using a tool, without manually clearing cached data manually. Regards, Ralf

System is randomly freezing, would like troubleshooting help
by Luna Celeste 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

I have a System76 Thelio machine running Arch (fully up to date as of a few hours ago today). For quite a while now (at least a few months), it's been randomly hanging. I've configured the system to provide a crash dump per the Kdump wiki page, but whenever I reboot it after one of these hangs (or use the sysrq crash key), there is no /proc/vmcore file, and there's nothing in the logs. As you can understand, this makes troubleshooting difficult. In addition to this, I've not been able to identify many common factors of the hangs. The only thing that seems to be consistent is that most of the hangs occur when the system puts the display to sleep. But even this isn't consistent; today's hang occurred while the display was active (though I turned off the monitor). I've changed hardware and operating systems a few times. I originally ran PopOS on this machine, and experienced hangs there with an NVIDIA graphics card, but I moved to AMD when installing Manjaro. Again, to be clear, the machine does have a very up to date Arch install presently. The hangs occur with both X11 and Wayland. Sometimes it happens a few hours after I boot the machine, sometimes (like today's) it took a week or two. About the only unusual thing about the system is that I'm running ZFS. The root filesystem for this installation runs on ZFS, but this wasn't the case when it ran PopOS. I still had a ZFS pool on the PopOS machine. I have another ZFS pool with my home directory and my libvirt VMs on it. That said, neither of the pools have any errors, and I scrub them regularly. As I said at the start of this message, I've been struggling to figure out the problem for a few months and I'm not sure how to make progress troubleshooting it. I don't see anything in dmesg about overheating, or hardware failures, or anything like that. The machine works great... until it very suddenly doesn't. So how do I go about figuring out what's going on? I'd love to be able to -- Cheers, Luna Celeste

grub.cfg

10 Apr '23

Hi, this is an old syslinux menu entry I try to convert to a grub.cfg menu entry. $ grep "X .Moon" /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg -B1 -A3 LABEL Moonstudio MENU LABEL Ubuntu X ^Moon Studio lowlatency LINUX /.boot/ubuntu_moonstudio/boot/vmlinuz-lowlatency APPEND root=LABEL=moonstudio ro INITRD /.boot/ubuntu_moonstudio/boot/initrd.img-lowlatency I don't understand a few things provided by https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Boot_menu_entry_examples . The syslinux bootloader, syslinux.cfg and the path /.boot/ubuntu_moonstudio/boot/ are on a MBR partition with the label "s3.archlinux", the directories of the other Linux install's root directory are on a partition with the label "moonstudio". The new grub2 and grub.cfg are on a GPT partition with the label "m1.xubu20.04", but this shouldn't matter. IIUC the grub.cfg entry should read menuentry "Ubuntu X Moon Studio lowlatency" { search --no-floppy --set=root --label s3.archlinux linux /.boot/ubuntu_moonstudio/boot/vmlinuz-lowlatency root=LABEL=moonstudio ro initrd /.boot/ubuntu_moonstudio/boot/initrd.img-lowlatency } OTOH I've got some doubts, should it be vice versa search --no-floppy --set=root --label moonstudio linux /.boot/ubuntu_moonstudio/boot/vmlinuz-lowlatency root=LABEL=s3.archlinux ro should it read root=LABEL or root=label or else? The fstab of the "Ubuntu X Moon Studio lowlatency" install contains a line to bind mount boot: /mnt/archlinux/.boot/ubuntu_moonstudio/boot /boot none bind 0 0 Regards, Ralf

X11 Input Settings Reset During Kernel Upgrade
by 2QdxY4RzWzUUiLuE＠potatochowder.com 09 Apr '23

09 Apr '23

Greetings, Call me old fashioned, but I run startx manually and I have an .xinitrc file. In that file, I run setxkbmap, xset, and xinput to set up my keyboard and my trackpad. This has been working for years, across three consecutive laptops, with minor adjustments to the parameters and input device names. A few weeks or a month ago, some system upgrades (i.e., pacman -S ...) reset those settings. The symptoms are an extremely slow trackpad and the default keyboard layout (dead keys and all). If I re-run the configuration commands from my .xinitrc file, all is well. It's hard to tell exactly which part of the process resets my settings, but I'm pretty sure it's during the post-transaction hooks, possibly around step 5/7 Updating module dependencies, or near the beginning of step 6/7 updating linux initcpios. It only happens when pacman rebuilds my kernel; at first, I thought it was tied to systemd upgrades, but it happened this morning, and there is no systemd upgrade. I run a stock kernel with liitle no customization. So far, none of the upgrades have failed, and I've not had problems rebooting with the new kernels. I do see entries in Xorg.0.log related to input devices from around that time, but I can't correlate those entries with the output from pacman. I hope the relevant section is below. Any thoughts? What other information can I provide? What experiments can I run?

firefox no longer starts - could it be wayland package?
by Genes Lists 07 Apr '23

07 Apr '23

Running on gnome This may have to do with updated updated wayland package (1.22.0-1) - didn't see much else that may be related. I tried rolling back firefox and makes no difference - I also tried with and without MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND - always get instant crash with: ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 5628 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal... Anyone else seeing similar and any suggestions for fix? thanks gene

moving /boot
by Fons Adriaensen 07 Apr '23

07 Apr '23

Hello all, I'm having a problem with updating a laptop: the /boot partition is too small for the new ramfs images. The system uses GPT partioning and BIOS boot using syslinux. /dev/sda1 1M Type = BIOS Boot /dev/sda2 /boot 95M Attributes: LegacyBIOSBootable /dev/sda3 / 93G (others for /home, /data and SWAP) One solution would be to move the /boot directory to / instead of giving it its own partition. The syslinux wiki page tells me that the absolute sector address of /boot/syslinux/ldlinux.sys plays a role in the boot sequence, so I suspect that just moving the boot directory and removing /dev/sda2 from /etc/fstab won't be enough. Would re-installing syslinux after that do the trick (and also take care of the LegacyBIOSBootable attribute) ? If not, what would be the correct and safe way to do this ? TIA, -- FA

Re: gui network icon not connected
by Rino Mardo 07 Apr '23

07 Apr '23

upon running nmcli, it shows disconnected but the wlan0 have an ip address. i remembered when i finished the installation i only have CLI. also no network connectivity. somehow i managed to have network connectivity by installing the package iwd. after that, i have connection via my wireless and i proceeded to install kde (including plasma-nm). since recalling i'm using iwd package, when i stop that service the GUI network icon still shows all 5 bars but no AP listed. when i restart iwd, i get a list of AP in my area and i also get network connectivity in terminal. so i guess the network icon is the problem then?

Can not build arch v6.2.* linux. Does that much swap space required?
by u34＠net9.ga 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

Hello, I haven't tried all the 6.2.*. Only some of the earliest, and some of the latest. v6.2.9, at this time. I could build the earliest v6.1.*. And also v6.1.12. Which is arch latest v6.1.*, doesn't it? I got what looks to me a similar issue with v6.1.7, if I remember correctly. As of v6.2.7 and v6.2.9, I get: $ cat -n linux-6.2.9.arch1-1-x86_64-build.log | tail 19288 AR arch/x86/video/built-in.a 19289 AR built-in.a 19290 AR vmlinux.a 19291 LD vmlinux.o 19292 vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: hyperv_init+0x42f: unreachable instruction 19293 make[1]: *** Deleting file 'vmlinux.o' 19294 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o:61: vmlinux.o] Interrupt 19295 make: *** [Makefile:1245: vmlinux_o] Interrupt 19296 19297 ==> ERROR: Aborted by user! Exiting... After it stalled for a long time at line #19291, or at line #19292, I interrupted it, ^c, manually. I forgot to look at the resource usage before interrupting v6.2.9 build. For some of the prevoius versions it happend, I saw the LD proccess consumed almost all of the machine free memory. And also a lot of swap. Which happend right at the LD operation, not before. It is only a desktop, Only 4G RAM. I am also confused about the unreachable warning. I think I saw it earlier only once. Possibly at some later v6.2.* version. But I can't find it at any log file. Perhaps I have deleted the file. I am using a local version for PKGBUILD. Does the follwoign diff maters? 63c63 < make all # htmldocs --- > make htmldocs all 195,196c195 < # pkgname=("$pkgbase" "$pkgbase-headers" "$pkgbase-docs") < pkgname=("$pkgbase" "$pkgbase-headers") --- > pkgname=("$pkgbase" "$pkgbase-headers" "$pkgbase-docs") There is also ccache enabled for makepkg. -- u34

Movement/navigation issue with brltty 6.5 since today's upgrade
by Jeanette C. 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

Hey hey, I just updated my system today and haven't been able to use certain braille display functions. Since the installation date is given as a day in February it could depend on something else. BRLTTY allows to use a braille display to manipulate the terminal, move the cursor or paste text. These functions don't work anymore. Text can be copied into BRLTTY's buffer, but not pasted, neither can the cursor be summoned to a valid position on the screen. Does anyone have a reasonable idea what may have caused this? I have tried this with both the standard Archlinux 6.2.9 kernel and the 6.2.0 realtime kernel. Could there be a permission issue that forbids BRLTTY to write to the console or permission for USB devices...? Any hints would be much appreciated!

Enabling CSM fails, can somebody recommend a bootloader
by Ralf Mardorf 02 Apr '23

02 Apr '23

Hi, I am currently building a new PC. Migrating the drives from an Intel Celeron with integrated GPU, mobo Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H to an Intel Core i3 13th Gen, mobo Gigabyte B760M DS3H DDR4 does cause some issues. The PC is a Linux multi-boot machine. The old SATA SSDs are all MBR drives, a new NVMe SSD is a GPT drive. The old PC's bootloader is syslinux. The Arch install's root directory holds all kernels, the Arch kernels, but also the kernels from the other Linux installs (an ancient Suse, Ubuntu etc.). Disabling Intel platform trust technology and secure boot works, but enabling CSM (legacy boot) fails. I read that on modern Intel machines CSM cannot be enabled, when using the internal GPU. I wonder if this is correct?! I also read, if I need to stay with EFI boot, that continuing using syslinux for a multi-boot Linux machine without chainloading, by keeping all kernels in one partition, could become a PITA or even impossible. Does anybody know, if it's possible to enable CSM? Maybe I forgot to disable or enable something else, before enabling CSM can work. As a temporarily workaround, to continue building the new PC, I installed Xubuntu, from a pendrive that was at hand. It installed GRUB2, so I can boot Arch Linux from the old MBR drive. If I should need to stay with CSM disabled and if syslinux should not work to boot all Linux installs, is there another alternative bootloader available that is similar to syslinux? If possible I will not stay with GRUB2. FWIW aur/r8125-dkms (chaotic-aur/r8125-dkms) works without issues [1]. Thank you aravance! Regards, Ralf [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/r8125-dkms

CPU frequency scaling uncertainty
by Ralf Mardorf 02 Apr '23

02 Apr '23

Hi, I wonder what to do with the scaling_max_freq, base_frequency and scaling_min_freq. $ grep model\ name /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u model name : 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-13100 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/*driver intel_pstate Those are the specifications as provided by Intel [1]: Max Turbo Frequency [GHz] Up to 4.5 Performance-core Max Turbo Frequency [GHz] Up to 4.5 Performance-core Base Frequency [GHz] Up to 3.4 This are the defaults provided by /sys/devices/... : $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 5800000 5800000 5800000 5800000 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/base_frequency 4400000 4400000 4400000 4400000 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 800000 800000 800000 800000 Is it safe to keep those values or should I set the max to 4500000 and base to 3400000? Is the min value 800000 good or bad? I will stay with powersave, excepted when doing real-time audio work, than I'll select performance. Years ago I read that real-time audio users disabled hyper-threading. I wonder if it's still necessary to select the performance governor and to disable hyper-threading for audio work.

pcspkr loaded, but no bell
by Ralf Mardorf 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Hi, if I turn on the computer, the PC buzzer does beep one time, so it does work for the POST, but the terminal (ROXTerm, with audible bell enabled) is silent, it doesn't beep anymore after using the Arch install from my old PC with my new PC. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ lsmod | grep pcspkr pcspkr 16384 0 [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ printf "\abeep! \n" beep! The module is loaded, but nothing, no audible bell. I'm out of ideas. Maybe I'm unable to see the forest for the trees, I still suffer from the after-effects of a COVID infection I had a few days back. Is this a known issue with some new mobos? Am I missing something? Regards, Ralf

Qwt is currently built with Qt5 - should I mark the package as out-of-date?
by Peyton Murray 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Hi all, Sorry if this is a naive question, but qwt <https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/qwt/> is currently being built with Qt5, which is nearing end-of-life <https://endoflife.date/qt>, while Qt6 has been out for a while. I'd like for qwt to be built with Qt6, but I'm not sure if this means the package is out-of-date strictly speaking, so I figured I'd ask here before marking the package as such. What's the right way to deal with this? Best, - Peyton

Pacman: There are N providers available for X
by Spencer Collyer 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

Hi, I'm installing a new system, and using the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks sections 2.5 and 2.6 to get the list of packages to install from my current system. When I run the `pacman -S --needed - < pkglist.txt` part, I get a few cases where pacman says "There are N providers available for X`. What I did for those cases is look up the providers in the `Package Search` page on the archlinux.org and chose the most recent one. Is that a reasonable strategy to use? Is there a better way to make the decision? Searching the web for that string didn't really provide any useful answers unfortunately. Regards Spencer

netctl problem
by Fons Adriaensen 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

Hello all, Yesterday I assisted (via a text chat) a linux noob to install Archlinux on a laptop. We got so far that the system can boot on its own, and we can login as root. The netctl package is installed. Also the ethernet-dhcp example is copied to /etc/netctl/dhcp and edited for the correct interface (enp0s25). netctl start dhcp runs without reporting any errors, but then ping 8.8.8.8 says 'network unreachable', and ip link shows that enp0s25 is not UP. The network was OK with the ISO of course. I could probably find out what is wrong if I had my hands on the keyboard, but doing it remotely seems more difficult... So what *could* be the problem or missing ? TIA, -- FA

colored prompt in early userspace
by lacsaP Patatetom 28 Mar '23

28 Mar '23

hi, when you add the `break` parameter to the list of parameters passed when the system boots, you find yourself in an interactive shell that allows you to issue commands, perform tests, and so on... the shell is apparently provided by `ash`. how to have a colored prompt (which visually helps to detach the prompt from the rest) ? the `~/.profile` file mentioned here and there does not seem to be read/used. `/.profile` and `/etc/profile` don't do much better. `ashrc` also tested without success. if the prompt offered at this level can be colored, I think it would not be a luxury to implement it directly in mkinitcpio ;-) regards, lacsaP.

Now when I ping, or send a http request to polarian.dev (my website) the first time it works just fine: ~ on ☁ ❯ ping -6 polarian.dev PING polarian.dev(2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2)) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.506 ms 64 bytes from 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2): icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=0.646 ms 64 bytes from 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2): icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=0.512 ms 64 bytes from 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2): icmp_seq=4 ttl=63 time=0.357 ms 64 bytes from 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2): icmp_seq=5 ttl=63 time=0.509 ms ^C --- polarian.dev ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4007ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.357/0.506/0.646/0.091 ms If I then stop it (as you can see ^C) and then start it again, I get the following: ~ on ☁ took 7s ❯ ping -6 polarian.dev PING polarian.dev(2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2)) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2): icmp_seq=27 ttl=63 time=0.399 ms 64 bytes from 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2): icmp_seq=28 ttl=63 time=0.550 ms 64 bytes from 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2): icmp_seq=29 ttl=63 time=0.357 ms 64 bytes from 2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.8.3.2.a.7.5.0.0.b.8.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa (2001:8b0:57a:2385::2): icmp_seq=30 ttl=63 time=0.749 ms ^C --- polarian.dev ping statistics --- 30 packets transmitted, 4 received, 86.6667% packet loss, time 29345ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.357/0.513/0.749/0.153 ms The first 20-30 packets keep getting lost.

TeXLive 2023 update
by Rémy Oudompheng 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Hello Texlive packages have been updated to 2023 version in [testing]. Important caveat: these packages do not include the luametatex program. The 'context' command remains mapped to the standard luatex, meaning that (as far as I understand, Context LMTX will not be usable, but Context MkII and MkIV should be fine). luametatex sources are not included in TeXLive sources (there is an AUR package if you want to try it). Regards, Rémy.

Keep getting SSL certificate failures
by Polarian 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

Hello, I did not notice this issue at first, but reflecting back on it now there seems to be a serious issue with my SSL on my laptop. When I was speaking to Erus about a "rotted link" within the AUR, I could not access the website as it kept throwing TLS errors, he could. I assumed it was just because of more strict firefox settings. I have now realised that this plays more of an issue, I am constantly getting errors such as: SSL_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED_ALERT on firefox, and ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR on chromium. This happens to multiple sites, but only to some, there seems to be no link between them. For example: https://web.archive.org/web/20130824024508/http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ham/s… is one such website I am not able to visit on any browser on my laptop. I assume this is an issue with the certificate verification on my laptop or maybe even openssl? I guess you could consider this karma for using packages within testing :P (but hey at least I am testing) If anyone has any ideas on how to diagnose the issue, on what the issue here is, or links to sources I can look into, please let me know. Have a good night, -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian(a)polarian.dev

/dev/stderr in early userspace
by lacsaP Patatetom 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

hi, I recently noticed that `/dev/stderr` was not present at the very beginning of the boot, in early userspace. if I add `break` parameter to have control during this step and do a `ls` test, this is what I get: ``` [rootfs ]# ls -l /dev/std* ls: /dev/std*: No such file or directory ``` Is there anything special to add/do to get these special devices ? nothing special in my `mkinitcpio.conf`, `base` and `udev` hooks installed/used. just note that the image is made from a chroot with `arch-chroot` with no error/warning. regards, lacsaP.

linux headers
by lacsaP Patatetom 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

hi, I have some questions about the compilation process which I am not familiar with. #1 using ArchLinux PKGBUILD, I recompiled the LTS kernel with a slight change introduced in the block/blk-core.c file and two files were generated : linux-lts-6.1.15-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and linux-lts-headers-6.1.15-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst. on the other hand, I had previously compiled packages that used linux-lts-headers-6.1.15-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst : do I have to recompile them after the change ? #2 my host kernel has been upgraded to 6.1.19-1-lts : how do I compile to 6.1.15-1-lts from 6.1.19-1-lts? regards, lacsaP.

Microphone is not working with Microsoft Teams
by Sadeep Madurange 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

This is my office workstation, so I have to use Microsoft Teams... My sound system is setup using ALSA and pipewire-alsa. I use Teams on Chromium web browser. The problem is, the other end can't hear anything I say. When I try to use Slack on the same browser, microphone is working fine. What is odd is that with Slack on Chromium, under microphones, I can see two options: "Default" and "sof-hda-dsp, -Default Audio Device". On Teams I can only see the latter. "Default" is the one working for Slack. The `wpctl status` yields the following output: PipeWire 'pipewire-0' [0.3.66, sadeep@quix, cookie:3671373507] └─ Clients: 33.

Driver for Nvidia Geforce GTX 760
by Andy Pieters 18 Mar '23

18 Mar '23

Hi I'm trying to upgrade my 5.18.10 system and the DKMS build is failing for my NVIDIA driver. To debug it I have tried to compile the driver separately out of DKMS, but the issue that keeps coming up with the new kernel (6.2.6) is [1] Sadly, though, my card cannot run a more recent version of the driver. When I compile e.g. the 5xx driver I get a message: NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 GPU installed in this system is NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 470.xx Legacy drivers. Please NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more So it seems that I am stuck on having to use the 470x drivers, the latest one available from Nvidia is 470.161.03, which fails to compile on Kernel >=6 So what can I do? Stay on Kernel 5.18.10 or is it likely that NVidia or the community will provide a fix for the issue in [1]?

zenity notifications not available in latest PKGBUILD 3.44.0-2
by Piscium 17 Mar '23

As a result of the change below zenity notifications are not available anymore. I am using them in a script. This change was just in the PKGBUILD which is still using the same upstream source. https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/9b3aff4f5b8c189f2b0dd… The commit message points to this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77607 If webkit is not desired, can't notifications be built some other way? yad has notifications too though they are of a different type, for my use case I preferred the zenity ones.

Systems unbootable
by nihilistzsche 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Since I updated a few days ago with kernels 6.2.6 and lts 6.1.19 all of my systems (a pc acting as a headless server with normal kernel, a server with lts kernel, and a laptop with normal kernel) refuse to boot. While trying to diagnose the server, it gets stuck on “Attempting to mount root”, which is a btrfs partition on an lvm volume. If I boot into a rescue usb, all of my partitions mount successfully. I’ve tried downgrading the kernel inside the rescue environment with no change, so I don’t believe it to be a kernel problem. Journalctl holds no answers. I can’t boot into rescuemode without usb either as it gets stuck trying to mount the root. Any clue what could possibly be causing this? It’s not a problem with impatience I left the server running for thirteen hours a day or so ago with it being unable to mount root. Sent from my iPhone

[ibus][st] ibus 28 to 26 downgrade tip on st
by Rasmus Liland 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hello! To arch people using suckless st with ibus and vim like myself: I found that upgrading to ibus 1.5.28 causes _something_ to break when using st, which can be solved by downgrading to e.g. 1.4.26 [1]. I find it hard to debug/provide insight on what is different now ... ibus worked in firefox but not in st, similar to what Vofan described back in 2021 [2]. I thought this might be caused by (1) upgrading from st-0.8.5 to st-0.9.0, (2) st-font2-20190416-ba72400.diff failing on st-0.9.0 ... A separate problem showing up at the same time: chinese characters does not display, for which the ttf-arphic-ukai package has been sufficent before. Solution: install noto-fonts-cjk ... I'm not satisfied with this solution, and I'm not sure this is why it worked, because my *font2 looks like, i.e. I define the ttf-arphic-ukai font from ukai.ttc ... Also, I added the -R flag in the .xinitrc exports [5], and somehow after reading some other thread than [2] decided to export the same to zsh in .zshrc.local [4] ... Also github does not work in suckless surf anymore ... and surf-2.0 works better than the new surf-2.1, which makes me feel dumb. Why can't I get the patches working right ... This might seem like mulitiple issues occurring at the same time, or a mix of separate issues ... I'm happy the old downgrading mentality still works somehow on these many random upgrade problems since I've used arch since way over ten years.

Any custom configuration or special packages on your side? I don't think I have any special config. Audio has been a bit of trouble from the beginning on this workstation. It's a ThinkPad X1. Perhaps it might help to give a bit of a background on what triggered the issue. Initially, the mic was working fine. What I had installed was ALSA, pipewire and pavucontrol. Recently, I got a bluetooth earphones. So, I installed the bluez-util pkg to connect to the earphones. Then, I removed pavucontrol, installed pipewire-alsa. My bluetooth earphone audio was working fine, and on the same day, the mic on teams (on Vivaldi web browser) worked as well. By the next day, it had stopped working (probably because of rebooting). Even for Slack web app mic was not working. Then, I removed Vivaldi, all the chromium config, and installed chromium browser. Then, mic started working for Slack, but not for teams. When I try to use teams on Firefox, mic works. But, my audio no longer works. All I hear when someone speaks is static. What a mess this app is... -- Regards, Sadeep PGP: 103BF9E3E750BF7E

Libssl error with dotnet sdk
by Sadeep Madurange 09 Mar '23

09 Mar '23

I apologize in advance for the noise as this may well be an issue with dotnet. I'm trying to build a project that uses SDK version 3.1. When I ran the build command, I got the error "No usable version of libssl was found". Installing libssl-1.1 let me get past this error. But now I'm getting the following error making me wonder if I need to do anything more than just installing libssl-1.1: Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 16.7.2+b60ddb6f4 for .NET Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

Dual Root setup
by Genes Lists 07 Mar '23

07 Mar '23

I know there's lots of info available about dual boot - but not much I could find on Dual Root. What is Dual Root? This is a machine with 2 "root" disks where the second one is a hot standby - in event of root disk failure the second disk can be booted very quickly. This makes recovering very fast and thereafter replacing the bad drive and rebuilding very straightforward. And no new install needed! I have now set this up on a few machines and its working well - so I wrote up some notes and am sharing them in case others who may be interested in doing something similar might find them useful. My notes explaining how to do this are available here: https://github.com/gene-git/blog best gene

Dino Arch Package
by Polarian 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Hello, I notice you have not been updating the Dino arch linux package, and it is now been a few months. Is there any reason for this package being delayed. I have onlisted this and sent this directly to the maintainer, so if any others know the reasons they can respond too. If the package is not going to be maintained, could it be moved into the AUR so I can adopt it and show it some love :) Thanks, -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian(a)polarian.dev

amdgpu issue: where to report?
by Giovanni Santini 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

Hi everyone, I am currently having multiple issues with my latpop, which has an integrated AMD C+GPU and an NVIDIA discrete card. The main problem I have is that the GPU freaks out of nowhere and start blanking. I noticed this happens mostly in Wayland, in X11 instead I have a missing monitor in my multi-monitor setup. I got the system logs from journalctl and I am wondering whether I should open an issue against ArchLinux "linux" package, the "amdgpu" one or shoul I contact upstream directly. I think one of the first two is best, I wanted to double check. Bests, Giovanni

[arch-general] thunar reporting no gvs on wayland/wayfire
by Javier 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

Hi ! For those using thunar or nemo under wayland, but not through gnome neither kde, do you know how to make them work with gvfs. On thunar, at least on advanced preferences I can see a big note on yellow warning about the lack of gvfs. On Xorg, with LXQt, thunar doesn't complain at all, and show the trash, and the FS correctly, of course no warnings about gvfs on the advanced preferences. I have gvfs and a bunch of its plugins already installed. An alternative is using nautilus, but it's not respecting $GDK_DPI_SCALE env var, and the gsettings for gnome do not work, so I can't really read the tiny letters. But it does show the trash, so I guess no problems with it. Any one using a gui file manager, hopefully gtk, with gvfs, under wayland/wayfire, and working fine? Thanks ! -- Javier

What is/are the IPv4 addresses used by archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync? I need to tell iptables
by David C. Rankin 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

Arch devs, What is/are the IPv4 address(es) used by archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync? I need to tell iptables not to block them so my logs quit filling up with errors. I cloned the source (pyhon...) and looked, but my feeble python skills were unable to find where the addresses or domains were listed (other than the @..... e-mail address domains for verification purposes) They may change? That is one challenge the use of varying cloud or service provider may pose. Failing there being any fixed set, I guess I could tcpdump the traffic, but if there is a list of IPs that the keyring sync uses, that would be the easiest way to go. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

6.2 Module Build - all good except for nvidia-390xx
by David C. Rankin 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

All, Follow-up from a recent thread on 6.2 kernel module builds. All Arch package modules built fine, as did 6.1 branch of virtualbox. However the nvidia-390xx driver fails to build with: nv-gpu-numa.c:232:47: warning: cast between incompatible function types from XXX to YYY (long type salad omitted) 232 | nv_dir_context_t ats_ctx = { .ctx.actor = (filldir_t)filldir_get_memblock_id }; nv-acpi.c:77:19: error: initialization of ‘void (*)(struct acpi_device *)’ from incompatible pointer type ‘int (*)(struct acpi_device *, int)’ [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 77 | .remove = nv_acpi_remove_two_args, The upside is it is a -Werror trip of a warning into an error so there may be a path to work around from a compiler option standpoint, but I've yet to look into that or an actual patch yet. -- David C.

libmysofa-1.3.1-2 hidden and breaks pipewire - with fix
by Genes Lists 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Problem: This package is available in community, but pacman cannot find it - which breaks pipewire-audio due to missing soname depends. pacman only finds 1.3.1-1 which is missing the needed provides. Cause: The reason appears to be that while the package is available, it was not added to the repo database - effectively hiding the package. I've heard of quite a few folks who've been bitten by this. Fix: add this to the repo Anyway fix should be quick and easy :) thanks. gene

I think I found a quite severe bug, what is the next step?
by Storm Dragon 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

Howdy, I started this new topic, because I think we have gone from weird quirk to serious bug. Fenrir, in the console, uses /dev/vcsa and /dev/vcsu. Here is the output of ls -l for each of them: [storm@mjollnir dev] $ ls -1l vcsa* crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 128 Feb 15 18:30 vcsa crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 129 Feb 15 18:30 vcsa1 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 130 Feb 15 18:30 vcsa2 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 131 Feb 15 18:30 vcsa3 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 132 Feb 15 18:30 vcsa4 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 133 Feb 15 18:30 vcsa5 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 134 Feb 15 18:30 vcsa6 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 135 Feb 15 18:30 vcsa7 [storm@mjollnir dev] $ ls -1l vcsu* crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 64 Feb 15 18:30 vcsu crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 65 Feb 15 18:30 vcsu1 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 66 Feb 15 18:30 vcsu2 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 67 Feb 15 18:30 vcsu3 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 68 Feb 15 18:30 vcsu4 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 69 Feb 15 18:30 vcsu5 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 70 Feb 15 18:30 vcsu6 crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 71 Feb 15 18:30 mcsu7 And now, things get interesting: [storm@mjollnir dev] $ sudo \cat /dev/vcsa cat: /dev/vcsa1: No such device or address Same for /dev/vcsu also including 1-7 for each of them. Other tests I tried. Importing them with python results the same for vcsa and vcsu: [root@mjollnir ~]# python Python 3.10.9 (main, Dec 19 2022, 17:35:49) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import os >>> useVCSA = os.access('/dev/vcsa', os.R_OK) >>> print(useVCSA) True >>> vcsa= open("/dev/vcsa",'rb') >>> d = vcsa.read() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OSError: [Errno 6] No such device or address >>> I hope I have provided enough information. I'm kind of stuck at this point. What should I do next? This happened yesterday after updates. I can add the pacman logs from yesterday if those are needed. Thanks, Storm

Re: Miracast help?
by Giovanni Santini 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

Hi Petr, Re-adding the mailing list to the conversation :) Didn't quote your previous email as I may have a more fundamental issue. So, I have checked my WiFi card via the command here: https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast/blob/master/res/miracle-utils.sh#L112 it seems to not support P2P mode nor commands. Are those required for connecting to a Miracast device? I believed that as long as the card understand the packages it should work and the card seems to have support for RX / TX of P2P-client, P2P-go and P2P-device frames. It mentions also the command "start_p2p_device" as supported. Bests, / Giovanni

TTY behaving strangely after yesterday update
by Storm Dragon 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

Howdy, I use the fenrir screen reader, and after updating yesterday, it will no longer work in the console. I have tested it in a PTY, and it works fine there, so it's not a change in the screen reader itself. Also, it is the same version that was being used before the update. Also, interestingly, screen gives an error when I launch it now. It did not used to do this, but it flashes up an error that I can't review because it's gone as quickly as it appears. I probably wouldn't have noticed it at all if it wasn't for speakup reading the error. So I'm probably not spelling this exactly, but it sounds like it is saying: /home/storm/.screenrc expected character, x, or ioctl 38 The interesting part from the Fenrir log is, there are quite a few of these errors: ERROR 2023-02-16 06:55:48.420559: VCSA:updateWatchdog:[Errno 6] No such device or address I have checked and all the /dev/vcs stuff is there. It even seems to have the correct permissions and ownership. Here is a sample: crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7, 1 Feb 15 18:30 /dev/vcs1 Does anyone have any idea what may be going on with this? Oh, and I'm using Linux-lts: linux-lts 5.15.94-1 Thanks, Storm

Split apache package
by Polarian 05 Feb '23

05 Feb '23

Hello, I would like to make a suggestion for the apache package, I was not too sure which mailing list to put this in, so I picked the general mailing list for the avoidance of doubt :P So the apache package: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/apache/ Currently contains tools which are used by nginx users, and the issue is that is that you can only run one webserver as once, they both are going to try to bind to port 80 and 443 so you got to choose. htpaswd utility is used by nginx users too, and the issue is they have to install the entire apache web server in order to be able to use the single utility. I suggest splitting the package into apache-utils and apache, or, if the maintainer(s) are willing to maintain it, split the utilities into their own separate pacakge and use apache-utils as a group of all the subpackages (htpasswd, htdigest etc). I feel this would be a good change so that nginx users do not need to install the entire apache web server just to use the apache utilities which nginx suggests to use within their documentation (see https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-http…) As you can see in the guide, Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS and Oracle Linux already have seen this issue within their own repositories and split the packages up, why can't arch linux?

Detected unsafe path transition when creating chroot
by Polarian 04 Feb '23

04 Feb '23

Hello, So recently I wrongly diagnosed a package as being broken based on this issue until I realised it was my chroot. Due to the doas issue I have with dev tools, I use a manual chroot using the following steps, I will use (# to denote root and $ to denote unpriviliged) 1. Make the directory $ mkdir chroot I made this in the home directory of my user, polarian 2. Install the base system # pacstrap chroot base base-devel This will install the base system and also the base-devel tools used for building packages. but when doing this recently I have been getting the following issues: Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /etc (owned by root) during canonicalization of /etc. Detected unsafe path transition / (owned by 1000) → /var (owned by root) during canonicalization of /var.

State of Netbeans package
by Jens Pelzetter 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Hello everyone, I'm using NetBeans as IDE for Java development. In the past, the NetBeans package in Arch Linux was updated soon after the NetBeans project published a new release. But now the NetBeans package is flagged as out-of-date since September. But there are no bugs in the bug tracker that show that there are technical issues which prevent an update. Is there of lack of resources on the side of the maintainer, or what is the reason that the package hasn't been updated yet? Because if the package will not be updated in the near future, I may either switch to the AUR package, or to download NetBeans directly from Apache. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience yet with creating packages for Arch Linux. If I had already some experience with building packages for Arch Linux, I may would be interested in supporting the maintainers of the NetBeans package, or even taking over the maintainer role for the package if the package is looking for a new maintainer. But I'm also not sure if I have the time resources for maintaining such a package. Best, Jens

Network Bridge - Do not pass back to router
by Polarian 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Hello, So my current setup on my server is a network bridge (br0) with a physical interface as a slave to the bridge. I deploy lxc containers using the bridge, it is not a NAT bridge, and thus DHCP is used to lease an address from the physical router in which the server is connected to. My issue is, each LXC container can communicate with one another over the bridge, this means as I have an Arch mirror in a container, I can pull packages close to the SATA limit (just under 6gbps). However when the host wants to pull from the Arch mirror, it passes back to the router and then back to the server then to the bridge to the LXC container. I am not very experienced with virtual interfaces, but I would like the server to stop wasting router resources passing packets back to the router just to be passed back into itself. Any advice would be useful. Thanks, -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian(a)polarian.dev

Arch / Manjaro friendly wifi dongle
by mick howe 28 Jan '23

28 Jan '23

I have just moved to a house where I can't get an Ethernet connection to the broadband 'modem' so I need to finally adopt a wifi setup to connect my two desktops and random Raspberry Pi and Arduinos to the 'modem' & the internet. That raises two problems: I don't know anything about wifi except for my Acer Nitro 5 just asked for a password then worked. The only brand of wifi hardware sold by any of the local shops is TP-Link brand. I have one of their Archer T3U AC1300 dongles that is listed as might work. I tried to build it on the laptop with aur but the package errors with 'ERROR: Missing xxx kernel headers for module rtl88x2bu/5.13.1r179.a2ac3b2' where xxx is one of a list including sys, srv, boot, home, etc, bin, rootfs-pkgs.txt, desktopfs-pkgs.txt, run, usr, lib, dev, lost+found, lib64, tmp, opt, proc, mnt, sbin, var, root I tried to build the driver on the desktop but makepkg immediately crashed because I have no internet connection. The laptop is 6 months more up-to-date than the desktops that have been in storage. What I'm looking for is 1. a way to build the driver for the Archer T3U and/or 2. the make/model of a dongle that will work and/or 3. other options? I have tried Ether of Power setup but the basement my daughter has relegated me to is on a different circuit to the rest of the house. please help mick in the dungeon

Where can I get last source pkg for hylafax before it was dropped in 2021?
by David C. Rankin 28 Jan '23

28 Jan '23

Archdevs, Where can I get the last sourcepkg used to pkg hylafax for Arch before hylafax was dropped from Arch? This was hylafax 6.0.7-4, e.g. with full info: Name : hylafax Version : 6.0.7-4 Description : Fax Server Architecture : x86_64 URL : https://www.hylafax.org/ Licenses : custom Groups : None Provides : None Depends On : libtiff pam ghostscript Optional Deps : None Required By : None Optional For : None Conflicts With : None Replaces : None Installed Size : 3.84 MiB Packager : Antonio Rojas <arojas(a)archlinux.org> Build Date : Fri 23 Apr 2021 02:00:05 AM CDT Install Date : Fri 23 Apr 2021 03:45:09 AM CDT Install Reason : Explicitly installed Install Script : Yes Validated By : Signature The issue being that libtiff 4.5 completely broke hylafax. There are two packages bandaiding this, AUR hylafaxplus and the custom patched version for libtiff at: https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/-/issues/504#note_1229203232 with an upcoming new release for hylafax+ on sourceforge that resolves the issue with the exports removed from libtiff. My issue is I need the setup for the last hylafax packaged by Arch to prevent configuration issues. How can I get a copy of the last source package for hylafax? The forum post from 2009, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164759 is out of date after the move to gitlab. The wiki page on downgrading https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages still refers to ABS. How to do it today? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

setting time
by Fons Adriaensen 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

Hello all, A friend (who is by no means a Linux expert and lives at the other end of the world) is using an Archlinux system that has its date and time completely wrong - the year is 2019. Is using timedatectl set-time a safe way to fix this ? In other words, would a system time jump cause problems ? In the hwclock manpage there is a warning that -s (which also causes the system time to jump) should not be used on a running system, this is why I ask. The alternative would be to set the HW clock in the BIOS. If I understand things correctly, the new system time will then be set when booting. TNX, -- FA

English language differences
by Polarian 24 Jan '23

Hello, So today I have been working on a new ArchWiki page and I have realised that I have never considered the differences in English language when writing the pages. I assume I am meant to stick to US English, but being a Brit we spell things slightly differently, and as it is habit I am not sure what I am meant to do. What is the conventions when it comes to the spellings you use within the ArchWiki pages, and if I accidentally spelt something "non-US English", would it matter too much?

Linux kernel: delay before power-off
by Markus Schaaf 23 Jan '23

23 Jan '23

Hi all, for a long time now, I'm seeing unclean shutdowns of SATA drives on different machines running Arch. There is a nice write-up about the problem here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20170410232118.GA4816@khazad-dum.debian.net/ If you are willing to google with the right keywords, you will find a lot of similar reports all over the interwebs. I can remember a configuration setting for the Linux kernel, which existed in ancient times, to delay the final step of powering off the machine for some time. Is there anything like that in the distributed kernels right now? Any knob I could turn? BR

by Genes Lists 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

I just uploaded my dns_tools to the AUR [1] and source to github [2]. DNSSEC can be a little tricky to manage but it adds a nice layer of protection for the dns zones for your domain(s). The tool creates and updates keys, signs zonefiles and makes key rolling as automated and simple as possible. There's a reasonably complete README file on github for those who may be interested. Thanks to all the folks contributing and keeping Arch rolling!! regards, gene [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dns_tools [2] https://github.com/gene-git/dns_tools

About the wiki's CAPTCHA system
by me＠foxt.dev 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

Hi all, (apologies if this is not the correct place to post this -- i didn't see anywhere more appropriate) I recently tried to sign up to the Arch wiki, but I was met by the following CAPTCHA. What is the output of: pacman -V|base32|head -1 and I had some issues with this that I'd like to share, while I get the reasons this captcha system was put in place (to prevent spam & to ensure the user is currently using an Arch system), however I don't believe the current captcha is a good solution. First of all, my problem is with the requirement to verify the user is currently using Arch, as the Arch Wiki is a very popular resource in the greater Linux community as a lot of resources apply to software that is commonly seen on other distributions, for example, I wanted to make a change (which I encountered configuring an Arch system) that was useful to everyone who used systemd, anyone, be it an Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc user may have found on the Arch wiki. While I think (I'm not sure, anyone is welcome to prove me wrong), the little number of users trying to post good faith, however, off topic, non-Arch related content, should be stopped by having their changes undone, and people who are Arch Linux users may still fail the challenge (i.e. using a non-arch system at the time, using an Arch system with an different version of Pacman.) However, my second larger problem is that it doesn't seem that it'd be a very good spam prevention mechanism. The CAPTCHA seems to be the same for all users, and changes very infrequently. (pacman version 6.0.1 (according to https://archlinux.org/pacman/#_releases, released in September 2021) and 6.0.2 (according to https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/pacman/, released in November 2022) were released over a year apart, so any spammer could define the captcha challenge for the Arch Wiki and post spam for many months. Determined spammers could even write a system to run the command inside a Arch Linux container and cache it until the challenge does not work. Ideally, CAPTCHA systems should be - hard for computers - easy for humans - accessible - unique for every request. The current CAPTCHA system fails every one of those requirements, I'd suggest either using a more common captcha type (such as Google reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha or a generic maths challenge), switching to more human friendly, easily Googleable, but still domain specific questions (i.e. "in which year was the Arch Linux project founded"), less ideal, but you could use commands that always produce the same output (i.e. "uname | base64" should always produce "TGludXgK" on Linux) Thank you.

Re: RFC: Increase _FORTIFY_SOURCE level to 3
by Genes Lists 19 Jan '23

Follow up to my previous note It looks fairly straightforward to identify which applications need to remain on level 2 by checking binaries for those using the malloc_usable_size() call. e.g. $ nm -uD /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd |grep malloc_usable U malloc_usable_size(a)GLIBC_2.2.5 gene

You are likely already aware, but sharing as saw no mention about this in the rfc discussion. There aare these comments from Fedora / Redhat regarding level 3 and systemd not working with it which looks relevant [1] [2] "There are packages (e.g. systemd) that do not interact well with _FORTIFY_SOURCE and will also need a workaround to downgrade fortification to level 2. " and in detail: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 revealed another pattern. Applications such as systemd used malloc_usable_size to determine available space in objects and then used the residual space. The glibc manual discourages this type of usage, dictating that malloc_usable_size is for diagnostic purposes only. But applications use the function as a hack to avoid reallocating buffers when there is space in the underlying malloc chunk. The implementation of malloc_usable_size needs to be fixed to return the allocated object size instead of the chunk size in non-diagnostic use. Alternatively, another solution is to deprecate the function. But that is a topic for discussion by the glibc community." regards gene [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Add_FORTIFY_SOURCE%3D3_to_distributi… [2] https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2022/09/17/gccs-new-fortification-le…

Weird Firefox & Thunderbird Context Menu/Right Click Bug
by NicoHood 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

Hey guys, I dont know where to report this, as it could be related to firefox, thunderbird or gnome (or any other desktop related software). In the last 1-2 Weeks (I dont update that often) I noticed that after some time (have not found a reproducible reason) right clicks, or context menus in genral in Firefox stop working at all. The menu pops up for a few milliseconds and then disappear. When you restart firefox everything works again. I noticed the same isse in thunderbird too, which is also by mozilla. I did not notice it in any other application. I am using gnome as Desktop environment. Do you have the same issue? Any hint if this is a gnome, firefox or other issue? Cheers Nico

Obfuscation of emails
by Polarian 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

Hello, This point is highly controversial within the Arch community, I have seen a lot of people argue either side, but I want to share my opinion on this. Personally I think obfuscation of emails is a complete waste of time, and I am going to explain why. So lets take my email as an example, polarian(a)polarian.dev, people often always obfuscate in the same way: <polarian at polarian dot dev> now what stops a bot from substituting "at" with "@" and "dot" with ".", it is not hard to do, and quite frankly it is a pain to deobfuscate peoples emails within PKGBUILD files when you need to email them to report issues, or get into contact. I have read a lot of pages on the ArchWiki and they all promote obfuscation of emails, have seen discussions on discussing the pros and cons, and not saying obfuscation has no downsides, but none of the discussions amounted to anything. Can we please stop advertising obfuscation of emails, it is counter-productive, we have anti-spam measures, and bots can easily bypass the obfuscation unless you make it more sophisticated, but at that point people won't be able to understand the email and you will be uncontactable. All obfuscation does in my experience, is make it 100x harder for people to report issues, its counter productive in a lot of cases but yet Arch community still advertises. It is up to you personally if you want to obfuscate your email address in PKGBUILDs and other files, but PLEASE can we stop advertising it as a perfect solution to spam, because in many cases, it doesn't even protect you from spam, just is a hindrance for people who genuinely want to contact you.

Mailing list to discuss ArchWiki?
by Polarian 08 Jan '23

08 Jan '23

Hello, I have realised a lot of the ArchWiki discussions are very empty, and have not been used for years for some of the pages. At first I thought this was because the pages were just not edited very often, but now I have realised that even the most popular pages do not have many discussions. Is there a mailing list for the ArchWiki, or do ArchWiki memebers use an alternative form of discussion to discuss wiki related subjects? Thank you, Polarian

Storage size of the ArchWiki
by Polarian 08 Jan '23

08 Jan '23

Hello, This is a bit of a random question, does anyone have an approximation or the actual size of the entire of the ArchWiki. This is not useful in the slightest, but I am genuinely curious to see how huge it would be, probably because of autism and weird obsession with numbers, but it would be cool to know. Thanks, Polarian

kernel 6.1 : suspend/resume problem - s2idle interference
by SET 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Hi, I am requesting help for a suspend/resume problem on a laptop since kernel 6.1. The laptop randomly goes in s2idle mode instead of deep. Resuming from s2idle is the problem, it would most often result in a black screen, magic keys don't work and there's no choice than a hard reboot. The cycles below are grepped from everything.log (using syslog-ng). Jan 2 09:04:02 asus0 kernel: [ 272.442844] PM: suspend entry (s2idle) Jan 2 09:07:24 asus0 kernel: [ 81.496530] PM: suspend entry (s2idle) Jan 2 09:07:36 asus0 kernel: [ 94.219950] PM: suspend exit Jan 2 09:13:43 asus0 kernel: [ 74.020096] PM: suspend entry (deep) Jan 2 09:13:53 asus0 kernel: [ 78.968818] PM: suspend exit Jan 2 09:27:03 asus0 kernel: [ 831.165661] PM: suspend entry (deep) Jan 2 09:27:12 asus0 kernel: [ 835.967426] PM: suspend exit Jan 2 09:29:54 asus0 kernel: [ 103.750713] PM: suspend entry (deep) Jan 2 09:30:12 asus0 kernel: [ 122.122386] PM: suspend exit Jan 2 09:30:12 asus0 kernel: [ 122.122473] PM: suspend entry (s2idle) Jan 2 09:35:27 asus0 kernel: [ 66.427487] PM: suspend entry (deep) Jan 2 09:35:35 asus0 kernel: [ 71.262239] PM: suspend exit Jan 2 09:49:10 asus0 kernel: [ 101.216846] PM: suspend entry (deep) Jan 2 09:49:32 asus0 kernel: [ 122.833061] PM: suspend exit Jan 2 09:49:32 asus0 kernel: [ 122.833242] PM: suspend entry (s2idle) Jan 2 09:52:30 asus0 kernel: [ 96.227978] PM: suspend entry (deep) Jan 2 09:54:33 asus0 kernel: [ 101.035466] PM: suspend exit Jan 2 10:00:29 asus0 kernel: [ 456.496279] PM: suspend entry (deep) Jan 2 10:00:50 asus0 kernel: [ 476.827893] PM: suspend exit Jan 2 10:00:50 asus0 kernel: [ 476.828015] PM: suspend entry (s2idle) Jan 2 10:06:29 asus0 kernel: [ 149.561486] PM: suspend entry (deep) Jan 2 11:46:21 asus0 kernel: [ 155.932575] PM: suspend exit Using 'mem_sleep_default=deep' in '/etc/default/grub' (and grub-mkconfig afterwards) does not alter this behaviour. After removing the above parameter, i.e., the default, /sys/power/mem_sleep contains 's2idle [deep]'. I grant that 'deep' is the default suspend mode, though it does randomly go in 's2idle' on its own. /sys/power/state contains 'freeze mem disk'. After reverting to kernel 6.0.12-arch1, suspend/resume works normally, as it always did. I'm out of ideas for a fix, and would appreciate any clues.

Keyboard layout does not persist in /etc/vconsole.conf
by Björn Försterling 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Hello, After finishing the Arch Linux installation (without desktop environment or X11) I can't make the keyboard layout persistent. (I am using the 01/2023 ISO as installation medium) I have set the keyboard layout to de-latin1 in /etc/vconsole.conf. This is the content of /etc/vconsole.conf: KEYMAP=de-latin1 Usually this works and the keyboard layout is permanent. But somehow systemd does not read it and after every reboot I am back to US layout. I tried to set the keyboard layout through a kernel parameter like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet vconsole.keymap=de-latin1" But it did not solve the issue. According to pstree systemd should be the init system. Does someone have an idea what could've gone wrong in the installation process? Regards Björn

Arch device not showing up when attempting to install
by Polarian 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Hello, So my friend is trying to install Arch Linux, and he has ran into an issue I can not find a solution to, the Arch Threads on this issue has the typical "Fixed" one word solution, which doesn't ever explain HOW they fixed it. Does anyone know what causes this following error: /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_202212 device did not show up after 30 seconds. This is after booting to the USB stick and then the grub bootloader, but when attempting to boot to the Arch Installation media the error above occurs. I have tried it with the latest archiso 202301 and it had the same issue, so that is why I tried to use the last version (which I used to install Arch Linux on one of my personal devices, thus I know the iso works) but yet the same issue still occurs. I got a feeling its the flashing tool which is the issue, I always use dd on linux, but my friend uses windows and he has tried both rufus and balena etcher, both of which have the same exact issue. He has cleaned the USB stick using diskpart (wipe partitions) to ensure that the USB is completely clean before flashing to see if that was an issue, same issue still occurs. If anyone knows what could be causing this, it would be very helpful :) Polarian

DMARC report generator now in AUR - (was dmarc failures)
by Genes Lists 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

Continuing the spirit of giving back to the community, I have uploaded my "dmarc_report" tool to github [1] and the aur [2]. Code is written in python and source is on github. It generates a human readable dmarc report from 1 or more of the standard dmarc xml email reports (plain or zip/gzip compressed). Way I use it is: in thunderbird I select all the email reports and bulk save them to a directory. I then use a ripMIME to pull the xml reports out of the saved email files. With all the compressed xml files in one directory I just run report tool in same directory. Then just run: dmarc-rpt Hope others find it useful too. best gene [1] https://github.com/gene-git/dmarc_report [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dmarc_report

Dmarc failures
by Polarian 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

Hello, So I have very strict DMARC settings on my domain, so I am aware I am going to get a lot of warnings. I have used "include" in my spf record for polarian.dev to allow lists.archlinux.org to redirect emails (because of mailing list), however DMARC still fails. In most cases DKIM remains untouched, therefore passes, but in a select few cases the DKIM signature was tampered with according to the reports I have gotten back, which is very strange, I assume this is not lists.archlinux.org fault but some people on the list use email proxies which are probably not configured well. DKIM is not the issue though, SPF is. lists.archlinux.org is included, but yet spf still fails, upon further inspection it seems lists.archlinux.org uses 2 different IPv4 addresses, but only one is named in the SPF record, thus failing. Does anyone else have these issues with the arch linux mailing list? Thanks, Polarian

Hi, I'm using Ventoy [ https://www.ventoy.net/en/isolist.html ] to hold a persistent Xubuntu on a thumb drive. However, it's possible to just copy additional installs to this thumb drive, too.

Re: RFC - thoughts about Arch and init freedom? (proposal for comments on arch-general)

I remember the discussions well. Most of which took place on the arch-general list at the time. It may be helpful to take feedback from the arch-general list, at least to get feedback on the current community thoughts on the matter. For me, I think it is a great idea Andreas. While for desktop use systemd has captured a majority of the distros -- and no complaints, the take-it-or-leave-it if you want Arch seems a bit restrictive. While the change from init-scripts to systemd was uncomfortable at the time, the transition was done well. That said, the point made about providing an alternative init to help with implementation on new architectures is well-taken. While systemd does provide a great deal of functionality, it also fairly heavy. Keeping systemd as a default while providing an alternative init for those that would benefit from -- or just like to use -- an alternative init sounds like a solid way to go. Essentially giving Arch the best of both worlds. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

xflock4 doesn't work anymore
by Ralf Mardorf 20 Dec '22

20 Dec '22

Hi, usually I lock the screen of my openbox sessions (no DE) on demand by running xflock4 . Today I locked the screen using dm-tool lock , since xflock4 fails. I don't know when it exactly stopped working. The time frame is between the beginning of last week, until today. pacman.log shows [2022-12-16T13:56:41+0100] [ALPM] upgraded xfce4-session (4.16.0-2 -> 4.18.0-1) I wonder if it's a bug or if some changes require to re/start something etc..

Should git be contained in base-devel group?
by Polarian 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Hello, I do not know which mailing list to send this in but I have a question to bring up. After being brought up in the aur mailing list, I was wondering why is git not in the base-devel group, which contains all the tools needed for building PKGBUILDs, but cloning from the AUR (and a lot of PKGBUILDs) all use git, therefore wouldn't it make sense for this to be include in base-devel? Thanks, Polarian

With a XferCommand, pacman -Sw doesn't download packages sig files

With a XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9451 --silent --show-error --continue-at - --fail-early --fail --output %o %u in pacman.conf, pacman -sync --downloadonly doesn't download packages sig files.

Commenting out XferCommand makes the sig files downloaded as well. Manual download also succeed. -- u34

Documentation for Order of HOOKS array in mkinitcpio.conf?
by David C. Rankin 30 Nov '22

30 Nov '22

All, The wiki doesn't have ordering information for the HOOKS scripts, but the comments in mkinitcpio.conf says Ordering in important and cautions against changing from the default order. But, that doesn't account for additional script added that are not in the default HOOKS example. I updated HOOKS from a much earlier version of mkinitcpio.conf to match the new .pacnew file. There keyboard moved from after filesystems to just after blocks. Is there a reference that explains where each script should be placed aside for the note or two in the Common hooks section of the wiki? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Change BTRFS filesystem from R/O back to R/W
by Spencer Collyer 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

Hi, I've hit a problem with a BTRFS filesystem I have on my main machine. It's gone into read-only mode, I suspect because it ran out of disk space when doing a rebalance (it's got v little space left). Looking at the logs I see the following for BTRFS: Nov 15 09:09:35 selket kernel: BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -28) Nov 15 09:09:35 selket kernel: BTRFS: error (device dm-1: state A) in btrfs_finish_ordered_io:3315: errno=-28 No space left Nov 15 09:09:35 selket kernel: BTRFS info (device dm-1: state EA): forced readonly Ironically I was going to shift a large chunk of data off this filesystem onto an external backup disk but hadn't gotten around to doing it. Digging around on the web I've seen suggestions involving unmounting the filesystem, remounting it R/W, removing any unwanted data, then continuing the rebalance. They generally seem to want to add another disk temporarily as well. I don't really want to go to the trouble of temporarily adding a secondary disk only to then remove it again. As I was already planning on moving a bunch of old data off to external backup, I'm wondering if the following would be safe to do: 1) Unmount the filesystem. 2) Remount it as R/W 3) Move data to the external disk 4) Resume the rebalance operation (is this required?) Does that look reasonable? Is there likely to be any problem with moving files off the filesystem when the rebalance operation failed? Thanks for you attention, Spencer

DKIM fail messages
by David Rosenstrauch 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

After posting a message to this list earlier today, I immediately received nearly a dozen DKIM fail messages, all being sent by the "OpenDMARC Filter" at various domains, and all saying that the DKIM fail reason was "signature verification failed". I raised this issue with support at my hosting company, who pointed out that a) my domain's DKIM records are set up correctly, and b) one of the headers on my email that got sent to the list indicated that Arch's mailman actually did successfully verify my domain's DKIM record when it received my email, before forwarding it on. Anyone know why these fail messages might be happening? Is this being caused by a misconfiguration in Arch's mailman installation? Or is this a misconfiguration of the individual OpenDMARC software installations at each of those domains? Thanks, DR

Python 2.7 depends on openssl-1.1
by Friedrich Romstedt 12 Nov '22

12 Nov '22

Hi, Today I encountered an error response in my browser when attempting to use my locally-installed Trac projects. Notice that Trac, as it is installed on my system, uses Python 2.x. Inspecting /var/log/httpd/error_log I tracked the error down to the hashlib-Module in Python 2.7.18-5. Attempting to import that module in Python2 reproduced the error logged by apache precisely. So I tried to install python2-2.7.18-8 from the AUR. This required gdb and xorg-server-xvfb. After having them installed, another dependency on openssl-1.1 was reported by makepkg. Notice that the package itself is called openssl-1.1, the -1.1 is *not* the Arch Package version, which is at the moment 1.1.1.s-2. While googling to resolve the issue, before attempting to make the AUR python2 package, in some way I spotted openssl as a probable reason for the issue. It got updated from 1.1.1.q-1 to 3.0.7-2 quite recently on my system (pacman.log). As a result of this guess, I tried to downgrade from 3.0.7-2 back to 1.1.1.q-1, which failed because it would break some dependencies. Now, I installed the openssl-1.1 package (which resolves to openssl-1.1-1.1.1.s-2), as it was required to build the AUR python2-2.7.18-8 package. After having installed openssl-1.1, 'import hashlib' worked in Python2 from Arch upstream (i.e., python2-2.7.18-5), and after a machine restart my Trac projects are now up and running again as well. So there was no need to build the AUR package in the end. I am proposing to add 'openssl-1.1' to the list of requirements for the 'python2' package. 'openssl-1.1' can peacefully coexist with the 'openssl' package, AFAICT from my system. At the moment, 'python2' depends on 'openssl'. I do not know if *both* openssl (3.0.7-2) *as well as* openssl-1.1 (1.1.1.s-2) are required, or if the openssl-dependency can be dropped. For all I know, keeping them both would not harm. Best, Friedrich

pacman gpg trust db corrupted by temporary failure in name-resolution
by David C. Rankin 12 Nov '22

12 Nov '22

All, Disregard the "how do I fix?" part of the prior thread on the pacman trust db getting corrupted. (I got it fixed) Backtracking, the problem occurred after an attempted update when there was a temporary failure in name-resolution due to the DNS server undergoing a reboot when the pacman update was attempted. Corruption of the trust store should not occur due to name resolution failure. Is this a "feature" of the latest pacman release? Does it need further investigation? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi I'm UEFI-booting Arch Linux from a unified kernel image (UKI) generated by mkinitcpio: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_kernel_image Recently, I'm seeing random junk being appended to the kernel commandline: $ cat /proc/cmdline "_VGA] +WQmapper/ssdvg-root rw quiet loglevel=3 udev.log_priority=3 ]GM?|-dQ2�H~A3y $ hexdump -C /proc/cmdline 00000000 72 6f 6f 74 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f 6d 61 70 70 65 72 |root=/dev/mapper| 00000010 2f 73 73 64 76 67 2d 72 6f 6f 74 20 72 77 20 71 |/ssdvg-root rw q| 00000020 75 69 65 74 20 6c 6f 67 6c 65 76 65 6c 3d 33 20 |uiet loglevel=3 | 00000030 75 64 65 76 2e 6c 6f 67 5f 70 72 69 6f 72 69 74 |udev.log_priorit| 00000040 79 3d 33 20 17 5d 47 4d 05 3f 7c 2d 64 51 32 1a |y=3 .]GM.?|-dQ2.| 00000050 1f 48 15 7e 41 33 79 0d 22 5f 56 47 41 5d 20 2b |.H.~A3y."_VGA] +| 00000060 57 51 0a |WQ.| 00000063 (the junk is only at the end, but with "cat" it garbles the terminal and overwrites the beginning of the line. hexdump shows it's exclusively at the end though.)

No idea what is causing this, but it's a recent issue. I have regenerated the UKI several times, and also tried downgrading mkinitcpio back to v31, and the kernel to 5.19, but keep getting the same result. I'm not suspecting the hardware, since I'm seeing the same issue on two different machines. Any ideas? Geert

installing archlinux, get lynx accessible first
by Jude DaShiell 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

I had a read through the Installation_guide script and discovered it uses lynx to bring the guide up on the screen. I'm a screen reader user so whenever I use lynx and certain other console browsers I set certain options then save me a .lynxrc file before using lynx further. Two really critical options are show cursor on so my screen reader can track where I am on the screen and links and form fields are numbered so I can find links to run. Others are there too but for me these are most critical. Once the .lynxrc file is saved reading through the installation_guide for me is much better. elinks and links can show numbered links but their configuration is a bit different. So for screen reader users who find numbered links in lynx the cat useful, before running Installation_guide get lynx configured so it runs well for you. I did this on a flash drive so my .lynxrc got saved for future use. Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Keeping desktop PC and laptop in sync
by Joel 07 Nov '22

07 Nov '22

Hi, as we have a discussion ongoing about setting up a new PC, I thought I could jump in with my current issue : I have retired my laptop and bought a desktop PC. Gone through the fresh installation process (once every 12 years is OK to declutter a bit), and rsync'ed my home directory (parts of it, mostlyskipped ~/.local and~/.config where I found some 10-20 years old files from programs I used once but never since). Now I still want to use my laptop when I'm on the road, which happens rather seldomly (once every 2 weeks), i.e. have my files, my bookmarks etc available on my laptop. Also not only have to sync my /home/$USER but also /root and some more mountpoints (source code, website stuff, audio, video, pictures), totaling around 1.5TB of data I've been playing around with rsync and adding many many exclude rules to a) limit the amount of files being transferred (eg exclude ~/.cache, browser's cache, thunderbird's imap cache etc) so I can keep an overview if something is getting overwritten that I don't want b) keep certain files (especially XFCE config etc) distinct as eg I have 2 monitors on my PC vs only 1 on the laptop -> different menus, window settings etc Now this is pretty tedious, initial rsync's dry-run showed ~700k files that would be sync'ed, which I brought down to 1k after several iterations and adjustment of exclude settings, and this is so far my first run - currently using my laptop and will sync back when I'm home again... let's see how many files will differ then ! So I'm looking for more easy-to-use alternatives. Most important thing : I want dry-run functionality to prevent unwanted data loss, which means automatic sync tools are not the way to go ! I think synthing is such a candidate, unless I missed the dry-run option somewhere. Have used unison many many years ago, but I think it was also not perfect and had issues handling thousands/millions of files. Heard of some new systemd homesync (?), but didn't have a look at it now, sounds also like it automatically syncs. Any thoughts / recommendations / advices ? Many thanks Joel

kea_config tool available
by Genes Lists 05 Nov '22

05 Nov '22

In the spirit of continuing to give back to the community, I'm happy to share my kea configuration tool. kea_config is available in the AUR [1] with source on github [2] kea is the current ISC dhcp server software taht offers a nice feature set, including a hot standby to pick up should the primary be unavailable. Its power also lurks behind a somewhat complicated configuration suite that, at least for me, isn't the most human friendly and creates a burden to keep things appropriately consistent. kea_config provides a nice and clean way to generate the required config files from a simple, single config. It generates the set of configs for each of primary, backup and standby servers which are then copied to each server; each can then use a link to primary or standby or backup config as appropriate. If you only run primary, that's fine too :) For host reservations it uses hostnames and looks up the IP - thus further helping reduce risk of human error. Hope others find it helpful. regards, gene [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kea_config [2] https://github.com/gene-git/kea_config

Setting up new computer to be identical to old one
by Spencer Collyer 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

I am looking to replace my current desktop PC, which is getting on for 8 years old now, with a more up-to-date one. Ideally I want the new one to be set up the same as my current one, which has been running on Arch since I first got it. I keep my Arch up-to-date by running a full update roughly every four weeks. What is the best way to set up the new one to mirror the existing one? I'd like to have all the same packages installed, with basically the same setup, except for obvious points like the new PC having a different IP address and name on my network. My initial idea was something like the following: 1) Install a basic Arch system on the new computer 2) Get the list of installed packages from the old computer (I think there is a way to do this using Pacman?) 3) Somehow get Pacman to install the same list of packages on the new computer. 4) Tidy up any config files that need changing - e.g. for the aforementioned IP address / computer name stuff. 5) Copy over my /home directory 6) Copy over various data directories/partitions I have -e.g. I have a whole bunch of images stored in a separate partition that I'll want to copy over. The stuff in here is all self-contained so should be easy enough to copy over. I found thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171726 which had some ideas as well - the above is sort-of based on stuff I found on there along with my own thoughts. Does that look like a reasonable plan? Anything I might be missing? Thanks for your attention. Regards, Spencer

libgda 6.x PKGBUILD suggestion
by Rafael Fontenelle 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

Hello 'community' package maintainers, libgda 5.2.10 is in the 'community' repository, and the latest version is 6.0.0. Its build system was changed to Meson along with some new features added and other deprecated disabled, besides being a soname bump. So, I understand how demotivational it is for the package maintainer. Personally, I'm a GNOME's Gtranslator user and it can not be updated to its 42.0 release without libgda6. I tried patching gtranslator's source to use libgda5 but then I faced a libsoup2-libsoup3 conflict due to its dependencies ("libsoup3 symbols detected. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported."). Because of that, libgda6 is the way to go. So this email is to suggest a 'libgda6' PKGBUILD that was prepared and made available in the unofficial repository FCGU — notice the different pkgname to avoid replacing libgda which could cause dependency breaks. libgda6 PKGBUILD: https://codeberg.org/fabiscafe/fcgu/src/commit/ec5c32aab695886a5d373631ec01… Please kindly consider making this release available. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Rafael

Shadowing the boot disk on Arch system
by Spencer Collyer 30 Oct '22

30 Oct '22

Hi, This is sort-of a follow-on to my earlier message regarding how to best set up a new desktop to match the existing one I have running Arch. I'm intending that my new computer will have an M2 drive as the boot disk. As well as the OS it will also hold my /home partition. Because of a bad experience I had with a Windows laptop with an SSD drive installed, where the SSD got completely wiped back to its factory setting, my intention is to have a hard disk that acts as a 'shadow' of the boot disk. The idea is it will also be a bootable drive with exactly the same setup as the M2 drive. That way if the M2 drive dies, I can still boot using this backup drive and the system will look the same. My intention is to have a cron job that periodically (at least daily) synchronises the backup drive so it looks exactly the same as the main drive. Does that sound like a feasible plan? If it is, my question is what is the best way to initially set up the shadow drive? Should I do a full install on it, so almost treating it like I'm setting up a new computer, but making sure I have all the same packages and setup as the main drive. Or should i just use 'dd' to copy the whole main drive over to the backup drive? I'll make sure the two drives are the same size (or rather that the backup is at least as large as the main drive). Or is there another, better, way I haven't thought of or found while trawling the web? Thanks for your attention, Regards, Spencer

Proposal: Do not remove a package from the AUR until it is available in a stable repository
by Óscar García Amor 29 Oct '22

29 Oct '22

Hi all! Recently with the GNOME 43 update I have seen that certain packages are being removed from the AUR to go into the official testing repositories. The problem, in my opinion, is that packages are being removed from the AUR before they go into an official stable repository, which makes the packages "disappear" for a while. Not everyone has the testing repository enabled. In fact using AUR packages is not a condition for having testing, so what a user sees is that suddenly the package he/she was using disappears and he/she can't install it neither with his AUR helper nor with pacman. IMHO, I think it would be better to leave the packages in the AUR until they reach the stable repositories to avoid possible confusion. Greetings. -- Óscar García Amor | ogarcia at moire.org | http://ogarcia.me

gnome 43 / testing - gnome-shell core dumps
by Genes Lists 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

Sharing in case helps others avoid having trouble. Update worked fine - once update completed fresh reboot - gdm starts fine - can login - but after that get a blank desktop - nothing at all works. Will go over logs more carefully but looks like gnome-shell is crashing: Process 1181 (gnome-shell) of user xxxx dumped core. The logs are tricky, as gnome spits a slew of error messages at the best of times (this is not new to 43, for me anyway). All 3 machines are intel i915 based; 2 NUCs and an older laptop. I've downgraded to 42 and all works well again. FYI :) gene

new wireguard admin tool - aur
by Genes Lists 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

Firstly, thank you to everyone that contributes to Arch - it is very, very much appreciated. In that same spirit of sharing I've added my second package to the AUR. The first being mkpkg, a package building tool which rebuilds when specific trigger conditions are met. e.g. openssl>minor would trigger a rebuild when openssl major.minor is greater than when package was last built [1] wg-tool source is on github [2] where there's pretty detailed readme . Quick Summary: - simplifies wireguard administration. ( server and users ) - guarantees server and user configs remain synchronized. - handles key creation when needed - users can have multiple profiles (bob:laptop bob:phone etc) - users and/or profiles can be marked active/inactive - takes output of 'wg show' and shows connections by user/profile name. (This one solves a minor annoyance for me) - can import existing user/profiles Anyway, if you run wireguard, this might be something useful. regards, gene [1] https://github.com/gene-git/Arch-mkpkg https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mkpkg [2] https://github.com/gene-git/wg_tool https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wg_tool

Race condition ? Issue with community/rtirq and probably core/systemd
by Ralf Mardorf 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Hi, the machine was up for 19 days, hence in the meantime systemd was updated. Today I build 5.15.73.52.realtime1-1-rt-lts from AUR as provided by David, IOW without any changes done by me, but I didn't build in a clean chroot. Bevor that I run my own package of linux-rt 4.19.246_rt110-0.1000 without doing anything special to it, just CONFIG_AUDIT was disabled. Since last startup rtirq was updated, too, but the only changes were migrations from egrep to grep -E. In the past it happened very, very, very ... very seldom that after startup the PCI or PCIe card didn't get a high priority, which always was fixed by a single reboot. Today, when booting 5.15.73.52.realtime1-1-rt-lts 4 times, the first time snd_ice1 didn't get a high priority and the other times snd_ice1 as well as snd_hdsp didn't get a high priority. I doubt that it's related to the kernel. I suspect a systemd related race condition, but I might be completely mistaken. Any pointers are welcome.

mkpkg - helping automate package rebuilds
by Genes Lists 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

Perhaps others might find this useful too. I'd like to give back a little to the arch community by sharing my mkpkg tool available on aur [1] and source is housed on github [2] where there is a detailed readme file. This tool helps to automate rebuilds when they're needed for reasons other than the package itself has updated. Rebuild triggers are defined as a list in the PKGBUILD. When a trigger is tripped then a rebuild is done. This helps when the actual package is unchanged but something the package uses changes in a way that makes a rebuild desirable or necessary: There are 3 kinds of triggers: 1 for files and 2 for packages. - a package has been installed since the last build - a package version has passed a specific threshold - a file is newer than the last build Some examples of build triggers. - 'python>minor' -> rebuild if major.minor vers > than at last build - 'xxx.service' -> rebuild if file has been updated since last build - 'gcc>major' -> rebuild if gcc major version newer than last build - 'some-lib' -> rebuild if more recent than last build - 'foo>last' -> rebuild if version greater than at last build - 'foo>=3.10' -> rebuild if version is >= 3.10 regards gene [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mkpkg [2] https://github.com/gene-git/Arch-mkpkg

Screen resolution while booting and on CLI
by bf 08 Oct '22

08 Oct '22

Hello, I have a problem with the screen resolution while booting the PC and afterwards. Part of the font is cut up at the left hand and upper side of the screen before booting into Arch Linux. And in Arch Linux itself (when the log in screen appears) the screen resolution is way too high, everything is located at the upper left corner of the screen. I don't use a graphical user interface so I can't use randr or anything else, I am on a Linux terminal. Is there a way to adjust screen resolution in BIOS? And is there a way to adjust screen resolution in a Linux terminal without xorg? I tried putting "vga=ask" into "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT", but that didn't do anything. Regards Björn

nvme drives
by Jude DaShiell 03 Oct '22

I have these on my new computer. I can partition the nvme scsi drive with parted but parted can't handle the other drive on the machine. Has archlinux got a separate tool to take control of nvme drives the way parted does?

It turns out archinstall works on highlighting the cursor so for espeak users who turn on highlighting inside of archinstall, their use of the keyboard puts them in the places they need to be to use archinstall. Highlighting isn't often needed but when it is needed it does work. Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

gave up on archinstall
by Jude DaShiell 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

I use a screen reader and found archinstall locks the cursor on the top line of text on the display and scrolls the text on the screen whenever an action gets taken except for abort when it helpfully clears out of the way. I couldn't choose an audio server as a result even though choices got shown of pulseaudio and pipewire the cursor never made it into the options. All of this happened with latest release of archlinux. I think the network configuration was the only other one missing and I'm on ethernet so using dhcp usually allbeit managed by a network manager of some form.

Enforced egrep warning by an if/then check
by Ralf Mardorf 02 Oct '22

02 Oct '22

Hi, I'm uncertain, if it makes sense to file a bug report against the xfce4-dev-tools or not. Actually upstream has got a reason to do this ;), but on Arch Linux it results in unwanted and annoying warnings :(. $ grep egrep /usr/bin/xdt-autogen -A3 if type egrep >/dev/null 2>&1; then EGREP=egrep else EGREP="grep -E" fi One time I reported an egrep related warning issue against the rtirq community package and upstream, but I didn't report it against e.g. AUR's ventoy-bin. However, the above if/then issue is something very special, since a workaround does cause the warnings in this particular case. The grep package does also provide a workaround. IOW two workarounds collide with each other :D. Regards, Ralf

Mailing list quirks
by Ralf Mardorf 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Dear mailing list admin, while I still received emails from the mailing list, I couldn't log in. After (re-)subscribing I can log in again. Please add "[arch-general] " to the subject. Some mailing lists don't use such an identifier in the subject, but a lot of mailing lists for good reasons do. It's apparently possible to prepend the list name and to keep the DKIM signature intact or they break it, but it doesn't matter. I don't know. Why is this identifier useful? For example, if you have got a virtual search folder with a filter, that searches the email bodies for "x11" in folders for different mailing lists, it can be very helpful, if the subject lines mention "[arch- general] ", "[Alsa-user] ", "[Evolution] ", "[lubuntu-users] " etc. to get a first overview. For several reasons such an identifier can be useful. For each of those reasons somebody probably has got an objection, how to do things different, so that the identifier is unneeded. Yes, it's not needed, but it's useful/helpful for some people, in some cases, while there's unlikely a good reason to be annoyed by "[arch-general] ". Regards, Ralf

Mail List Admins: Following up to my prev post (arch-general) about DMARC rejections from arch-general from domain zoho.com ( I checked it too has 'p=reject') My own messages to the list are also being rejected by our border mailer with same dmarc rejection - so indeed, I suspect something is not quite right with the list configs. Can you all please check that incoming mail to lists from domains with 'p=reject' DMARC policy work ok. Seems not to be working from what I see. thanks.

All certificates missing after update
by James Crake-Merani 18 Sep '22

18 Sep '22

Hello, After my last update, I noticed a strange issue: I could not do anything that required HTTPS. I could not use curl, update the system etc. I eventually traced the problem back to ca-certificates. I noticed that /etc/ca-certificates/extracted/tls-ca-bundle.pem , which although still existed on the system, was just a completely empty file while on my laptop it was filled with certificates. What I had to do was copy over the missing certificates from my laptop, and then it was working. But what I noticed is that previously I had downgraded some ca-certificates packages (specifically the utils, and mozilla one I think),and when I upgraded the system the certificates were all once again missing, and I had to replace them for a second time. I am not educated at all on the ca-certificates package. I assume it has something to do with SSL but I know little beyond that. I therefore can't deduce whether this issue is the fault of a bug, or if I have done something wrong. I'd like to know if anyone has experienced this problem as well, or if someone has knowledge that might be of use. Thanks. James Crake-Merani

[arch-general] dev-public: Future build infrastructure for Arch Linux
by David C. Rankin 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

What does: Future build infrastructure for Arch Linux "We decided on supporting the x86_64-v3 microarchitecture" Does that mean Arch will break on anything older than Haswell for Intel will no longer be supported on Arch? Or am I missing something? SUSE going to ALP is doing the v3 baseline for it's "containerized" Micro Leap, but what does this mean for Arch. With SUSE, it means just that, if you have an i7 Sandy Lake or older -- your just not invited to the party. That seems completely counter to what Arch should do for a main distro. -- David C.

[arch-general] Openbox screen locker
by paulf＠quillandmouse.com 04 Sep '22

04 Sep '22

Folks: Was running i3wm, just installed Openbox. As with i3, after a certain period of time, the screen goes black. So far so good. However, when I move the mouse or hit a key, now I get some sort of xfce screen locker. It has a banner at the top with my system name, the date, and a lock symbol in the far right corner. In the center middle is XFCE's mouse icon. And it insists I enter my password. I don't like or want this program running, but I don't know what's spawning it. There is nothing which calls an XFCE program in my Openbox config files, or the global ones in /etc. According to htop, this program is apparently a child of systemd --user. This isn't helpful. Can anyone provide assistance in finding and fixing what's calling this program? Paul -- Paul M.

[arch-general] mkpkg : A new tool to auto rebuild packages when makedepends have updated
by Genes Lists 03 Sep '22

03 Sep '22

When building packages (makepkg + PKGBUILD), It would be useful if there was a way to easily rebuild the package whenever a make dependency is updated. One can do this manually of course, by bumping the pkgrel and rebuilding. To make it easier I built a tool to do that for me. For example: When a tool chain used to build a package is updated, it's good practice to rebuild those which use that tool chain. For example, when gcc, cargo, binutils et al are updated packages using those tools should also be updated. While static linked libraries surely don't demand a rebuild to function, because the prior, older library is part of the binary itself, it's still a good idea to rebuild it. This will pick up fixes, including security related ones, as well as improvements. Of course, it's always sensible to confirm that the application properly builds and works with the newer tool or library. I've made the code available should it be useful to others. https://github.com/gene-git/Arch-mkpkg best gene

[arch-general] QEMU Networking

Greetings, I think my question is: now that I have a new laptop and a slightly different networking setup, how do I get QEMU to work with systemd-resolved, but if I had all the answers, then I wouldn't be asking for help. :-) My symtoms are that QEMU guests (various live Linux CDs) can ping IP addresses, but not resolve names: $ ping -c1 archlinux.org ping: archlinux.org: Name or service not known $ resolvectl query archlinux.org archlinux.org: resolve call failed: Lookup failed due to system error: Network is unreachable $ ping -c1 95.217.163.246 PING 95.217.163.246 (95.217.163.246) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 95.217.163.246: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=414 ms [statistics elided to conserve bandwidth] On my old laptop, I used NetworkManager resolvconf, but on the new one, I'm using iwctl/iwd and systemd-resolved, so I'm assuming that that's the culprit. In any case, I'm using the following command to start QEMU (various live CDs boot and run with various options, but they all exhibit the same networking symptoms; vm.qcow2 is newly created): qemu-system-x86_64 -m 8G -enable-kvm -drive file=vm.qcow2 -cdrom /path/to/iso-image I have no access to a wired network. I do have access to two WiFi networks. One is from my cell phone provider. The other goes through a captive portal over which I have no control. I get the same symptoms in my guests either way.

[arch-general] Python nightmare

Hi guys, Recently tried to install Spyder IDE but i got a ton of errors, so after trying different approaches I found that probably doing it through Anaconda would be better. And try first with AUR, but never could, so I download Anacondas installer and after a huge amount of time it got installed. So there it was Anaconda + Spyder etc.... however I started to get a ton of Python related warnings and error every time I updated (pacman -Syu), so i ended up removing Anconda and everything else. But now i still getting errors like... advertencia: no se pudo obtener información del archivo usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/btrfsutil.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so advertencia: no se pudo obtener información del archivo usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/_distutils_hack/__pycache__/override.cpython-310.pyc advertencia: no se pudo obtener información del archivo usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/jaraco.text-3.8.1.dist-info/ for instance this packages are indeed installed, but I keep gettin the warning, and like that I get for a ton of files ls -l /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/jaraco.text-3.9.0.dist-info/ total 20 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1050 ago 15 10:38 LICENSE -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3916 ago 15 10:38 METADATA -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1102 ago 15 10:38 RECORD -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7 ago 15 10:38 top_level.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92 ago 15 10:38 WHEEL And even worse, whenever i tried to run certain apps (like gnome-tweaks, bpython, ipyhton) now i get errors when they work before without a problem.. this is the outrput. $ gnome-tweaks Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gnome-tweaks", line 13, in <module> import gi ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi' $ ipython Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ipython", line 5, in <module> from IPython import start_ipython File "/home/acgx/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/IPython/__init__.py", line 55, in <module> from .core.application import Application File "/home/acgx/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/IPython/core/application.py", line 23, in <module> from traitlets.config.application import Application, catch_config_error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'traitlets' $ bpython Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/bpython", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('bpython==0.22.1', 'console_scripts', 'bpython')()) File "/usr/bin/bpython", line 22, in importlib_load_entry_point for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points File "/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 957, in distribution return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 548, in from_name raise PackageNotFoundError(name) importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for bpython Checking out my python binaries i get.. $ ls -l /usr/bin/python* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 ago 3 12:39 /usr/bin/python -> python3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 oct 10 2021 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14168 oct 10 2021 /usr/bin/python2.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1681 oct 10 2021 /usr/bin/python2.7-config lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 oct 10 2021 /usr/bin/python2-config -> python2.7-config -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 94 dic 13 2021 /usr/bin/python2-pyuic4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 ago 3 12:39 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.10 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14280 ago 3 12:39 /usr/bin/python3.10 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3299 ago 3 12:39 /usr/bin/python3.10-config lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 ago 3 12:39 /usr/bin/python3-config -> python3.10-config lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 ago 3 12:39 /usr/bin/python-config -> python3-config So, does anybody has seen or been in something like this? any hints how can I "purge" "remove" or deinstall properly the buggy libraries and reinstall everything properly?

[arch-general] boot magically mounted on startup; reliable?
by Vasile Vilvoiu 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Hello! On my latest install I forgot to mount the boot partition during the installation process, which prompted me to come back on a few of the steps after setting up the root filesystem. Everything works great (with systemd-boot) but I just remembered one thing I missed was adding an entry in fstab for /boot. However, it does seem that systemd does mount _something_ automatically: $ mount | grep boot systemd-1 on /boot type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=50,pgrp=1,timeout=120,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=10794) and that _something_ seems to be the same as the boot partition: $ sudo ls -al /boot total 58408 drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Jul 9 11:02 .. drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jul 9 10:54 EFI drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 9 21:55 'System Volume Information' -rwx------ 1 root root 34938914 Jul 19 18:14 initramfs-linux-fallback.img -rwx------ 1 root root 9030240 Jul 19 18:14 initramfs-linux.img -rwx------ 1 root root 5174272 May 10 21:27 intel-ucode.img drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jul 26 08:47 loader -rwx------ 1 root root 10636800 Jul 19 18:14 vmlinuz-linux $ sudo mount /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt $ sudo ls -al /mnt total 58408 drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Jul 9 11:02 .. drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jul 9 10:54 EFI drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 9 21:55 'System Volume Information' -rwx------ 1 root root 34938914 Jul 19 18:14 initramfs-linux-fallback.img -rwx------ 1 root root 9030240 Jul 19 18:14 initramfs-linux.img -rwx------ 1 root root 5174272 May 10 21:27 intel-ucode.img drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jul 26 08:47 loader -rwx------ 1 root root 10636800 Jul 19 18:14 vmlinuz-linux I have trouble finding the documentation of this behavior and I'd like to know if it can be relied upon or I should add an entry manually. -- Best regards, Vasile Vilvoiu

[arch-general] ZFS in repos?
by Piscium 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

ZFS is in AUR. I wonder what is the reason why it is not moved to the Arch repos? The zfs-linux package has 250 votes, the zfs-dkms has 137, and the zfs-linux-lts has 70. I am aware about the possible license incompatibility between the kernel which uses GPL2 and ZFS which uses CDDL, however even Debian which is strict about several things such as what is 'free software', has ZFS in its main repos.

[arch-general] System-wide PAM alternative auths methods with different users

I recently setup pam authenication using some Yubikeys and was wondering how to integrate to all pam-based applications (screenlocker, polkit, sudo, login, etc) without forcing its use for all user. The wiki describe how to setup yubikey or fprintd with sufficient, but not a general way. After reading `man pam.d`, this is what I would go for: in /etc/pam.d/system-auth: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_faillock.so preauth # Optionally use requisite above if you do not want to prompt for the password # on locked accounts. auth [success=4 default=ignore] pam_fprintd.so cue # addition auth [success=3 default=ignore] pam_u2f.so # addition -auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_systemd_home.so auth [success=1 default=bad] pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok auth [default=die] pam_faillock.so authfail auth optional pam_permit.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_faillock.so authsucc # If you drop the above call to pam_faillock.so the lock will be done also # on non-consecutive authentication failures. ... (skipped rest of the file) If I understand correctly, the success=n make PAM skip the n following modules, so this would allow a user not having any enrolled fingerprint or configured yubikeys to authenticate normally with their password. And user with those will be able to use them to authenticate. Is this the correct approach ? Thanks ! -- Max Gautier

[arch-general] Virtualbox - rdesktop access only shows 1024x768 active in window of 1440x864?
by David C. Rankin 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

All, Accessing virtualbox guests on Arch server with rdesktop will only show 1024 x 768 active (meaning background, taskbar, mouse movement, etc.) in window of 1440 x 864. This started around linux 5.17.6 and continues through the current kernel. What changed and what do I need to do to be able to see the entire window? (it's there, I can move windows to from the black area, I just can't see it) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] 5.18 reboot halts on "kvm: exiting virtual machine", requires hard reset
by David C. Rankin 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

All, My server will no longer reboot with kernels from about 5.18.5 or so on. The reboot stops after everything is shut down and reboot is called, but the next line on the error output on the screen says something like: kvm: exiting virtual machine At this point the box is hardlocked and I have to use the hardware reset button to finish the reboot (not good on remote admin'ed machines) I have two boxes that have developed this issue and both have older AMD video cards, so I wonder if this failure to reboot is related to: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74346 Could the amdgpu null-pointer bug on boot be what is causing the reboot to hang? How would you test/verify? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 mic not working
by Sadeep Madurange 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Hello everyone, I installed arch 5.18.9-arch1-1 on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11. Initially my speakers weren't working. Following the arch wiki, I installed sof-firmware and added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/audiofix.conf: options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0 options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-amic enable=yes After that speakers started to work. However, my mic is still not working. I'm using plain alsa, and amixer command to control audio. I have already increased the volume of the mic using `amixer set Capture '100%'` for which I see the following output. Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 63 Front Left: Capture 63 [100%] [30.00dB] [on] Front Right: Capture 63 [100%] [30.00dB] [on] Result of `arecord -l` is: **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC287 Analog [ALC287 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Following the Arch wiki, I tried adding the following to /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf: options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 When I tried to run the following command, I got the "Not permitted error": # rmmod snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel Help please. -- Executive ability is prominent in your make-up.

[arch-general] openssl 3 -- status?
by Genes Lists 01 Jul '22

01 Jul '22

Be terrific if someone could provide an update on where things stand for arch migration to Openssl 3? We're coming up on the 1 year anniversary of openssl 3 with 3.0.4 released last week. As I recall there was some work happening to ensure things continue to work properly. My loose understanding is that openssl 3 has ABI changes but the API changes seem to be quite limited. The arch tracker site [1] shows 26 core packages as incomplete - though it's bit unclear from the site what the actual problems are. It also shows many many other packages similarly "incomplete" Fedora 36, which was released May 10 this year is, I believe, built against openssl 3. This at least strongly suggests that most "normal" packages work fine with rebuild of recent versions. We always have recent versions :) Taking a couple of examples from the tracker page [1]: 1) openssh shows the current version as incomplete. The openssh docs suggest openssl 3 support was made available in version 8.1p1 while it was still in dev. 2) cryptsetup - seems to be compatible as of 2.4.0. current version is 2.4.3). Only reference I found was redhat [2] 3) kmod - was unable to find any known issues. fedora 36 kmod is built against openssl 3 and it presumably is ok. 4) systemd - best I can tell there were some issues but they have been resolved (including license issues) 1 example is [3] Be great to get an update from those who, unlike me, really know :) thanks gene [1] https://archlinux.org/todo/openssl-30/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1975799 [3] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/21666

[arch-general] packaging mingw-w64-gtksourceview5 and mingw-w64-libadwaita
by Sim Tov 26 Jun '22

26 Jun '22

Hello, I would like to help Gnome Text Editor developers to cross-compile it for Windows within their CI: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-text-editor/-/issues/149 This might help attract Windows users to Gnome/Linux... I was looking for a Linux distro that has a solid Mingw-w64 library collection to use as docker image in CI. Fedora doesn't have mingw-w64-gtk4 while Arch does, so I decided to use the latter. Dear Arch package maintainers, may I ask you to, please, package the most recent version of mingw-w64-gtksourceview5 and mingw-w64-libadwaita so I can go ahead? I saw this MSYS2 package (they use pacman) that might help you with compilation flags, etc.: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-gtksourceview5 https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libadwaita Thank you!

[arch-general] pacman Segfault on full system update
by David C. Rankin 25 Jun '22

25 Jun '22

I have an Arch guest in VirtualBox running on an Arch server. I installed virtualbox-bin 1-34-2 from AUR with 5.18 patch and the install on the host went fine. I access the guest headless using rdesktop over the LAN. (have done so for years). Doing a full system update from 5.17.7 to 5.18.6 (about 25 days of updates) on guest. Pacman segfaulted leaving post transaction hooks unrun. I reinstalled the kernel and systemd to force the initrd to be made so the guest is bootable. However, I'm not sure what additional hooks were missed. The guest window when X is started is 1440 x 864 but the only portion of the desktop shown is 1024 x 768 (rest is black and not shown, taskbar unable to be seen, etc.) After the pacman segfault, now the console is also missing the last 7-8 lines. I have to hit clear and start over at the top to see what I'm typing. How can I recover this system? I was able to rsync the last 1000 lines of pacman.log from the guest to the host, but the shared folders no longer work. The pacman.log summary of how the issue occurred is: [2022-06-24T02:06:26-0500] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Sy --needed archlinux-keyring' [2022-06-24T02:06:26-0500] [PACMAN] synchronizing package lists [2022-06-24T02:07:03-0500] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Su' [2022-06-24T02:07:03-0500] [PACMAN] starting full system upgrade [2022-06-24T02:07:30-0500] [ALPM] running '60-mkinitcpio-remove.hook'...

[arch-general] Popa3d and systemd
by paulf＠quillandmouse.com 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

Folks: I'm attempting to use popa3d to handle POP3 on my box for my home network. The authors assume you will be running an init.d system, but obviously, I'm running systemd. Does anyone know how to set this up with systemd so it will run without simply terminating. I've set up a system user called "popa3d" to satisfy a getpwnam() error generated by systemd, and I have a service file as follows: [Unit] Description=POP3 Daemon [Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/popa3d -D User=root [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Any help would be appreciated.

[arch-general] Samba - Can fix for https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15062 be cherry picked too?
by David C. Rankin 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

Got the latest samba 4.16.1-4 and had part way expected the fix for: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15062 To be included. I guess samba will wait for the next minor version number release to include it. However, I noticed the packager had cherry picked a gnome print fix and wondered if you could cherry pick the [homes] fix also. This bug prevents the normal [homes] share from appearing as a share making $HOME unavailable. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] konsole updated to handle the ANSI d & f escapes used by pacman current/total lines
by David C. Rankin 07 Jun '22

07 Jun '22

Just a follow up note, The konsole code was updated to handle the new line escapes that gave me issues when the new escapes were added to pacman. All displays fine, but it would still be nice to have a switch to turn the additional display off. I don't use the total info, just doesn't provide anything that meaningful to use while an update is being applied. Something like --nototal would do. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] About merge for revolt into revolt-desktop
by Óscar García Amor 28 May '22

28 May '22

Hi folks, A few days ago a request was made to merge revolt into revolt-desktop in AUR. At that time I already explained[1] that these were different packages and that the merger did not make sense. Three days ago Morten Linderud finally approved the merger of the packages despite the two being different. I have tried to contact him explaining why these packages should not be merged but I have not received a response. This is a copy of the email I sent him. --- BEGIN --- MAIL --- COPY --- Hi Morten, Recently you accept merge the package revolt into revolt-desktop: > Request #34104 has been Accepted by Foxboron [1]: > > [Autogenerated] Accepted merge for revolt into revolt-desktop. But these are completely different packages: Revolt[1] is an application written in Python (using PyGObject with GTK and WebKit) which wraps Element[2] in a fancy desktop environment integration. Revolt not is new, has been under development for several years and the first commit dates back to 2016[3]. revolt-desktop[4] (it's the first time I've heard of it, to be honest) is what appears to be a client of your own service revolt-chat[5]. It is something quite recent, its first commit dates back to 2021[6]. As you can see, we are really talking about two different applications that, although they are both instant messaging clients, have nothing to do with each other. On the other hand, in case of a name conflict, this would be caused by revolt-chat, being a much more recent application than revolt. Therefore I ask you to please consider this merger and revert the changes so that we can continue working with the revolt package in AUR. Thank you very much in advance. [1]: https://github.com/aperezdc/revolt [2]: https://element.io/ [3]: https://github.com/aperezdc/revolt/commit/455c7f25ae476be26cb1839368da68f58… [4]: https://github.com/revoltchat/desktop [5]: https://revolt.chat/ [6]: https://github.com/revoltchat/desktop/commit/309a8cea3307ed4707b26068d810c4… --- END --- MAIL --- COPY --- I understand that, as people working on Arch Linux there is a lot of work to be done, but that is no excuse, IMHO, for doing things wrong. Could the merger of these packages be reversed? Thanks for your time.

[arch-general] In pacman view, -debug package doesn't depends on its non -debug package
by u34＠net9.ga 25 May '22

Am I right the new -debug packages do not depend, pacman wise, on their binary, non -debug packages? By that I mean pacman --upgrade somepkg-debug will sucsseed even when somepkg is not installed. Such dependency looks to me obvoius. Why was it decided not to have it? -- u34

[arch-general] A tiny linux 5.17.7-arch1 compilation issue with a custom config
by u34＠net9.ga 16 May '22

16 May '22

This is most probably not an arch specific issue. And does not concern arch official linux, as arch official linux does not have CONFIG_WERROR=y. Hopefully, the linux kerenl people can better fix the following. It could be it is already fixed. I managed to sweep it under the rug with 29c29 < CONFIG_WERROR=y --- > # CONFIG_WERROR is not set My point is I used to have CONFIG_WERROR=y in the linux .config file for some time. It could be that until the gcc 11.2.0-4 -> 12.1.0-1 upgrade, the following was partially, or fully, over looked by the compilation process. But it could also be that the source was somewhat changed lately. Or that there are other issues involved, which I am not aware of. The following is with 5.17.7-arch1 source, and CONFIG_WERROR=y. CC drivers/acpi/acpica/utdebug.o drivers/acpi/acpica/utdebug.c: In function 'acpi_ut_init_stack_ptr_trace': drivers/acpi/acpica/utdebug.c:40:38: error: storing the address of local variable 'current_sp' in 'acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer' [-Werror=dangling-pointer=] 40 | acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer = &current_sp; | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/acpi/acpica/utdebug.c:38:19: note: 'current_sp' declared here 38 | acpi_size current_sp; | ^~~~~~~~~~ In file included from ./include/acpi/acpi.h:31, from drivers/acpi/acpica/utdebug.c:12: drivers/acpi/acpica/acglobal.h:196:26: note: 'acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer' declared here 196 | ACPI_GLOBAL(acpi_size *, acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ./include/acpi/acpixf.h:45:21: note: in definition of macro 'ACPI_GLOBAL' 45 | extern type name | ^~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:288: drivers/acpi/acpica/utdebug.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:550: drivers/acpi/acpica] Error 2 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:550: drivers/acpi] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:1831: drivers] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

[arch-general] Qemu 7 can not be upgraded on my machine.
by Matthew Dyer 14 May '22

14 May '22

Hi all, I have 2 machines 1 of wich is x86 and the other is arm based. On On the arm machine I am using stormux which is based on arch arm. Here is the issue. On my stormux/arm pi400 machine which btw I I am writing this message on, I am unabble to upgrade or for thart mater remove qemu. Upgrading qemu or installing qemu-desktop tells me that there are broken dependencys. I for the time being, have added the following packages to be ignored in my pacman.conf. qemu-headless and qemu-img. I am not sure if this should be posted on the list, but could not find a way to resaulved this and would to get this problem. Is there a flag such as allow or force of sore sort which can be used in some cases? On my main x86 machine this upgrade went without a problem. If there is a way to remove qemu since I don't really use it that would be wonderfull as well since I don't use it. Matthew

[arch-general] Rollback to specific date works fine -- but really slow download
by David C. Rankin 13 May '22

13 May '22

Arch folks, Had the need to do a first rollback to 3/15/22 for a samba bug report on 4.16 failure to discover [homes] (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15062) The rollback worked flawlessly, but is there anything that can be done to help the download rate? Due to the ICU 7.0->7.1 update, there were 368 packages in 1.3GiB to download. At 300->500KiB it took forever. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] sound problem with chromium
by Pascal 11 May '22

11 May '22

hi, I have an ArchLinux installed on a usb disk (eg. "mobile"). ~ # uname -r 5.15.37-1-lts ~ # pacman -Q | egrep 'alsa|chromium|firefox|mplayer' alsa-lib 1.2.6.1-1 alsa-topology-conf 1.2.5.1-1 alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.6.3-1 alsa-utils 1.2.6-1 chromium 101.0.4951.54-1 firefox 100.0-1 mplayer 38359-1 when it runs on my Dell Latitude E5250, Chromium works without any difficulty to play a YouTube video for example : the sound is ok (same for Firefox or Mplayer). on the other hand, when it runs on my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, Chromium has problems with the sound (which is not the case for Firefox or Mplayer which both produce sound). it happens from time to time in this (hardware) environment that Chromium produces sound and the next moment (simple stop/restart of the browser) it fails (without anything being done in between) ! another surprising thing is that if I access a video (zunRcH4nUPI) this way "chromium https://www.youtube.com/" (and then click on the desired video) I often don't get any sound while if I access it this way "chromium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zunRcH4nUPI" the sound works ! I spent a lot of time trying to understand the problem and looking for a solution/track on the internet but, having found nothing, I throw a bottle in the water... regards, lacsaP.

[arch-general] pacsave for nouveau blacklist in nvidia-utils
by The Puzzlemaker 08 May '22

08 May '22

I've found that when I need to keep nvidia-utils installed whilst still using nouveau (even while using the suggested method in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/nouveau#Keep_NVIDIA_driver_installed) it gets overridden upon update of nvidia-utils. I believe the way to solve this would be to add a backup section in the PKGBUILD (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#backup)? But I'm not entirely sure. This would be helpful, in my opinion, though, as it would prevent the blacklist from getting invisibly uncommented, and causing problems which may be hard to debug.
