[arch-general] No ipv6 address - but only on one machine
by David Rosenstrauch 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

Having a weird situation going on with IPv6. Every machine on my network can successfully get an ipv6 address except for one. (My main server.) What's even weirder is that ipv6 was working on that machine up until probably about a week ago. Not sure what the problem is, and hoping someone here might be able to offer a pointer. Here's the scenario: 1) Wifi router reports an IPv6 address on both the WAN and the LAN sides. (In the 2607: range.) 2) Mac desktop behind the router successfully gets assigned an ipv6 address. 3) Linux laptop (running Arch) successfully gets assigned an ipv6 address (using NetworkManager). 4) Linux server (also running Arch) does not get assigned an ipv6 address. The server is using netctl for networking, and its profile includes: ## For IPv6 autoconfiguration IP6=stateless Yet for some reason, this machine doesn't get assigned an external ipv6. Rather it only gets assigned one in the link-local range. (I.e., in the fe80: range.) I have to admit this is pretty puzzling. I can't for the life of me figure out why the server can't get an address. Particular since it was able to do so successfully probably about a week or so ago. Anyone have an idea what could have happened here? Has there been some package update recently that might explain this? Or any pointers on how I might go about debugging this? Thanks, DR

[arch-general] snapd - orphaned, outdated, how to help
by Maciek Borzecki 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Hi all, I have noticed that the snapd package is currently orphaned. It is also quite outdated, currently stuck at 2.26.1 while upstream is nearing 2.30 release. What can be done to update the package? As it happens, I am currently maintaining snapd-git package in AUR [1]. On top of that I'm also working with the upstream on the development of snapd. Since I am an Arch user, a couple of problems that were related to Arch support have been resolved. I'm also slowly working on getting Arch integrated into the CI pipeline [2] in hope of being able to run most of the test cases natively. Unfortunately I am not a TU, but I am willing to offer any help needed to get the package updated. [1]. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd-git [2]. https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/4285 Cheers, -- Maciek Borzecki

[arch-general] "Failed to start Light Display Manager"
by Ralf Mardorf 18 Dec '17

Hi, https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/lig… does cause lightdm failing to start. Just downgrading fixed the issue.

[arch-general] Clone a block device using 'cat'
by Foxtrot Mike 16 Dec '17

16 Dec '17

Note: This is not an Arch related question. I tried asking this question elsewhere, but didnt get any useful response. In the past I have received very helpful responses on this mail list so I am posting this here in the hope that someone would be willing/able to help me out. Hi, I am able to telnet into a router that's running a customized linux firmware. It was compiled using 'buildroot'. I was able to dig out some specs of the router. I intend to clone the router's firmware for further study. 'dd' is not available so I tried using cat to throw the entire contents of the flash drive (mtdblock0) to my pc using netcat: Router: cat /dev/mtdblock0 | nc ip port PC: nc -lp port > routerFirmware Then on my PC I used 'binwalk' to examine the downloaded file. The result is: DECIMAL HEXADECIMAL DESCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 0x0 Squashfs filesystem, little endian, non-standard signature, version 4.0, compression:gzip, size: xxxxxxx bytes, xxx inodes, blocksize: xxxxxx bytes, created: xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx:xx Seems good so far. But '# unsquash routerFlash' results in: Can't find a SQUASHFS superblock on routerFlash The most probable reason I think is that 'cat' and 'nc' are not able to clone the entire flash as I intend. I am stuck here. Any help would be appreciated! Regards.

[arch-general] Doing a Recompile of All Packages?
by Hunter Jozwiak 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hi, Not sure how to pull this off effectively, but I would like to do a recompile of the system and all it's installed packages. How does one do this with the asp package, as the abs package no longer exists? I imagine that it would be something along of getting the name of all the installed packages, doing an asp checkout $packagename and then doing the makepkg song and dance, but is there a more efficient way of pulling this off? Thanks, Hunter

[arch-general] Proposal: add "--disable-modern-top" to procps-ng configure flags
by Jonathon Fernyhough 10 Dec '17

10 Dec '17

# Background procps-ng [1] introduced a new default interface layout for `top` with version 3.3.10 which switched the "traditional" list display of processes ordered by CPU usage to a red text-based tree of processes ordered by PID (with root on 'systemd'). # Rationale The "modern" default interface: * requires user configuration to make usable; * uses low-contrast text; * is not consistent with other distros; * has caused confusion to Arch users [2]. This change would: * make `top` usable by default; * make `top` more accessible by default (high contrast text); * ease transition for new Arch users; * maintain consistency of a 'base' tool behaviour with other distros. # Precedent '--disable-modern-top' is used by Debian [3] and Fedora [4] (and hence all derivative distros). # Change See PKGBUILD attachment at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56639?getfile=15944 # Impact of change Default interface is reverted to "traditional" display. No effect on functionality or users with existing .toprc. Comparison screenshots are available on the Manjaro forum thread [5]. # Maintenance burden None beyond change to configure flag in PKGBUILD. # Links [1] https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps [2] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189757 [3] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/procps.git/tree/debian/rules#n… [4] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/procps-ng/blob/master/f/procps-ng.spec#_… [5] https://forum.manjaro.org/t/new-procps-ng-with-traditional-top-display/36119

[arch-general] Espeak in official repositories needs an overhaul

Howdy, As far as I know, the original espeak project has been abandoned. I have heard the original developer passed away, but I can not confirm that one way or the other. The latest developments have been added under a fork of the project called Espeak-ng: https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng This new fork has a lot of improvements and pronounciation fixes. i wonder if it shouldn't be the one in the official repos now.

[arch-general] AUR and missing/unidentifiable GPG keys
by Jeanette C. 08 Dec '17

08 Dec '17

Hey hey, it has happened a couple of times now, that AUR packages' GPG keys can't be verified using aurget. Here's one example from installing the Linux realtime kernel: aurget -Sy linux-rt-bfq [copious output] patch-4.14.3-rt5.patch ... FAILED (unknown public key 4FE5E3262872E4CC) ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! aurget is up to date, as pulled from the Github repo. I know this can be circumvented by editing the pkgbuild file and removing the verification option, but that feels wrong. Is there a systematic way to update the relevant keys? As for other packages that did - or still do - suffer from this issue, there's certainly wine.

All, Why was the conflict 'php-mcrypt<=7.1' added to php? It now seeks to remove php56-mcrypt. I require both for older web apps not yet ported to php7. These packages do not conflict as I have used both for a couple of years. Now I get: :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... :: php and php56-mcrypt are in conflict (php-mcrypt). Remove php56-mcrypt? [y/N] error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: php and php56-mcrypt are in conflict (php-mcrypt<=7.1) Does this need to be fixed in AUR or is there a better way to handle this?? -- David C.

(Not dismissing the fact > that bugzilla is rather popular choice.) Bugzilla is old both in terms of look and feel and usability. It doesn't even support Markdown formatting[1], which could have been nice in order to be on part with the Markdown feature brought with the forthcoming aur web version. Contributing from a mobile device is rather complicated with bugzilla, even if I know some kind of non-maintained addon is available[2]. We can't see properly the pull requests being made to solve a specific problem and I know the Bugzilla's UI doesn't encourage them (just ask the Document Foundation about it). This is why, if I was in a position to provide a vote, I would have chosen a solution like gogs or Gitlab instead, which fixes the aforementioned problems and are well-maintained. On a side note, I'm currently in the process of rewriting the Gitlab install guide on the ArchLinux wiki, because I need it for corporate purpose and according to comments on the talk page, that article is hard to understand for newcomers. In the same process, gogs/Gitlabs would allow the opportunity to migrate the svn infra used for official packages to a real git-based infrastructure. svn-to-git, even if we have 'abs' [3] as syntactic sugar, adds unneeded cluttering. The current infra for official packages is blocking new contributions (I remember the cumbersome process it was for me to push 2 fixes to openjfx, patches via email is from an old age). Also, having an infra like gogs/Gitlab could allow us to have our Github ArchLinux account becoming the official read-only mirror for Arch Linux (yet another free backup).

When I migrate something, I don't like to have anything legacy in an infrastructure. I usually migrate everything and do not leave a publicly accessible web app, especially if the latter isn't maintained any more, and has multiple security vulnerabilities. This doesn't prevent us to keep a complete offline backup copy if needed. Migrate everything doesn't prevent us to not close old bugs either. In this regard, it would be nice to have a policy to auto-close bugs that haven't received comments/reactions within x day.

[arch-general] Build configuration settings for samba
by Newbugreport 03 Dec '17

03 Dec '17

My Arch server hit https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10541 in a bad way, blocking all SMB writes from my Ubuntu 17.10 client. Since the bug is unfixed, I'd like to make a custom build of smbd to get things working. My test builds of samba don't appear to match how samba is built in Arch. Where can I find documentation on how samba is build in Arch, especially configuration details?

[arch-general] desktop crash after upgrade
by niya 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

hi everyone i have a intel atom netbook that i have arch installed on and have been using it for the last couple of years without any issues, after doing a pacman -Syu recently when i reboot it gets through boot up to the point of setting up the desktop and then crashes with 2 thirds of the screen from left to right fill with a random rows of dots on a black background and the last third has my desktop with an exit icon at the bottom, i went through the process of downgrading the kernel and got it to boot normally again i thought that because it was a 32 bit computer the problem was to do with arch no longer supporting the i686 architecture so i migrated the laptop to Arch Linux 32, everything went smoothly , after the migration i rebooted the laptop and i was back with the same problem. i chrooted into the laptop with a live usb stick and retrieved a portion of the journal here,s the log. error-report <http://codepad.org/mtWYqv2N> my Desktop Environment is lxde if more of the logs are needed please let me know i would be thankful for any pointers to fixing the problem shadrock

[arch-general] AUR account creation issues
by Tegan Burns 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

arch-general, I was trying to register an account on aur.archlinux.org but I never received a confirmation email. I've tried to reset my password but never receive an email to do so. The email address is fine, I set up my Arch Wiki account moments before registering under AUR (confirmation and all). I was hoping to keep the same username across the forums, Wiki and AUR. At this point I don't see anything else I could do on my end. Is there a chance that an admin could look into the issue? I was instructed to post here via https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1751367 Thank you

[arch-general] GDM/Lightdm and/or Gnome will not start
by Alan E. Davis 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

I'll try to give some background, because I do not have a really good idea why this is happening. It seemed to start when I tried to install Adobe-Digital-Editions (ADE), so I could read an ebook borrowed from the local public library. I installed wine, and attempted to install ADE. At the end of the install process, the console went into a kind of loop, with the same message repeated over and over in rapid succession. (I did not have the presence of mind to try to record this message). This through my session into a dysfunctional state, so I rebooted. Or restarted the display manager, I don't remember. Neither GDM nor Lightdm have started again, in a number of days. I was able to start i3 and xfce4, through startx with correct lines in .xinitrc. I uninstalled wine and ADE, then recently tried again to reinstall, with the thought this experience may have been a fluke. The same exact message popped up when executing "wine install.exe". This system is in pretty decent shape. It's been up running for many months, with quite a number of packages from the pacman distros as well as AUR; I have never had a serious problem that I could not easily figure out. Arch Linux has become my goto distro, as it just works, and maintainance is not a hugely time consuming or hit and miss affair as has been my experience with Gentoo. I have now installed manjaro and redcore, on the same laptop. I have removed Fedora 26, which turned quirky after a few weeks (which I installed so I would be able to advise a friend in the case of any troubles). Manjaro is easy to install; it's nice to be able to use AUR, but even if I avoid any wrinkles, it will take days to get this installation into shape. I come to you hoping for some light to be shed on this problem. At the bare minimum I would like to generate a list of installed packages of all kinds (AUR and pacman). I truly hope, however, to find the problem, and fix it. I can copy the files in my home directory, and copy them over to a new installation. d Does this description make any sense to someone? Thank you for reading this far.

Hello, I noticed the package st has been removed from the community repo and added to AUR. I was wondering why, but all I could find is this commit: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-commits/2017-November/434780.html I was also unable to find any information relating to the topic (cf. mail subject) on the Arch Wiki or general web, so I'd like to ask: 1. What is the best way to find rationale about package removal or old package logs in general? E.g. pacolog doesn't work on st any more (I guess the logs are removed together with the package?) and even looking for the message linked above felt like there should be a better way. 2. If the commit message above is the only resource to be had, is there some kind of best practices concerning similar commit messages? I would have appreciated at least a short rationale for the removal being included. 3. What was the rationale in this particular case? The st-git¹ AUR package seems quite popular, so I was surprised to see its non-vcs version removed from community (I would expect the opposite to happen for popular packages). ¹ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/st-git/ Thank you, Štěpán

[arch-general] LUKS on LVM example in wiki
by Fons Adriaensen 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

I've been reading the section 'LUKS on LVM' in the wiki page <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system> and there's something I fail to understand. Under 'Preparing the logical volumes', there is: # lvcreate -L 500M -n tmp MyVol (which isn't shown in the ascii picture just above). Later, under 'Configuring fstab and crypttab' a tmpfs is created on the encrypted /tmp partition: dev/mapper/tmp /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 Question: as far as I've understood, a tmpfs resides in RAM, with overflow to /swap. So why is there a logical volume for /tmp ? Or put otherwise, if /tmp is to reside on disk, why use a tmpfs ? TIA, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)

[arch-general] Cannot delete chroot directory
by Simon Doppler 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi all, I wanted to create a new build chroot directory with mkarchroot yesterday, and mistakenly created it in the wrong place. I then interrupted the process but after it had already created some files but was not finished. (I wanted to created in ~/chroot/multlib, but wrote ~/multilib). When I tried to delete the directory (with rm -rf) but I could only delete all the files it contained. It did not work either after a reboot. This is my terminal output when I try to delete the directory [root@tollana dopsi]# LANG=en rm -rf /home/dopsi/multilib rm: cannot remove '/home/dopsi/multilib': Operation not permitted [root@tollana dopsi]# lsattr | grep multilib ------------------- ./multilib I noticed in [1] (the lock function is defined in [2]) that the directory is locked using flock, but that lock should not survive a reboot (or am I mistaken ?).

Hello, Couple of days ago my power was cut in the middle of an update (pacman was updating purpose and atk), after the failed update my system would not run any app because libpurpose and libatk was corrupted.

With all programs above I can scan - right. I can also make an PDF of the scan. With gscan2pdf I can scan many pages at once (fledbed scanner or ADF) and convert all pages directly to PDF. In addition, OCR is performed. And a pdf is generated with the text from OCR as hocr layer. The special feature is that a searchable PDF can be created at once. As far as I know it is not possible with simple-scan nor with scanlite nor with gambas3-gb-scanner. The special thing is that I can correct then OCR Text directly before I save the file. And a few other things that simplify the work. It is not just another scan program. It is the only program I know what allows archiving in this way. best regards Stephan

[arch-general] RAID10 + dmcrypt/LUKS + ext4: expanding?
by L. Rose 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Hi everyone, I want to setup a couple of drives using RAID10 with mdadm. On top of /dev/md0, I want to setup one large dmcrypt/LUKS encrypted ext4 volume. As Arch wiki reads, this seems to be possible. But what about expanding that volume later on? RAID#Format_the_RAID_Filesystem recommends calculating the stripe_width value for ext4 based on the number of data disks[0]. When adding a new disk, the number of data disks would increase by one, and expanding both the dmcrypt/LUKS and the ext4 layer should be possible - but what about the stripe width_value? Does it need to be updated? Should it be updated? Is it possible to update the stripe_width value afterwards? Encryption is a must for me, and having the space accessible in one big chunk instead of individual disks would allow more efficient usage and is therefore important for me. So it would be really nice to get some information on this. Thanks in advance! Regards, L. Rose [0]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RAID#Example_3._RAID10.2Cfar2

Hello, For some time, chromium, firefox and qupzilla are unable to reach network/ internet/dns, if started from firejail. When started normally, all of these can reach the network as expected. So the internet link is not the problem. Has anybody experienced this? Any pointers to debug? Thanks. -- Regards Shridhar

[arch-general] Question regarding cmake
by Valo 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Hello everybody, I noticed that extra/cmake depends on core or extra packages exception made for community/rhash. I was trying to use build.opensuse.org to build a package but was unable to use cmake due to the fact that it depends on a package in community which is not included in build.opensuse.org My question is: is it fine for an extra package to depend on a package found in community? I tried to search for policies but didn't find anything. It would be really helpful if rhash could be brought in extra or, if not strictly needed by cmake, to be made an optdep for it. I checked on debian.packages.org, they have 3.9.3-1 as the latest version of cmake which don't depend on rhash, I can't say anything for version 3.9.4 currently in extra. I'm saying it would be useful as cmake is used by many project ad being able to use it on opensuse build service would enable more packages to be built there for Arch.

[arch-general] community/ipython package out-of-date
by Josiah Schwab 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hello, I noticed the Arch Linux ipython package is out of date, at v5.3. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/ipython/ It looks like it was first flagged almost 6 months ago when the 6.0 release hit. Since then, there have been multiple releases on both the 5.x and 6.x branches. The current versions are 6.2.1 & 5.5. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/releases I emailed the maintainer Kyle Keen two weeks ago, but have not received any response. Best, Josiah

[arch-general] asp checkout issue
by Ralf Mardorf 08 Oct '17

08 Oct '17

Hi, it became impossible to use Evolution's search folders. If software is buggy I usually report it to upstream, seldom to the Arch bug tracker. This is always done with a description of the issue and if possible, how to reproduce it. This month I'm very short in time, so after making the below investigation [1], I've got no time to describe the problem any further, let alone to report the issue to a bug tracker. Take a look at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/53840 , since this is the reason for the investigation. However, seemingly I found another bug or at least a sync issue for asp.

[arch-general] linux-4.13: CONFIG_SPI removed?
by Christoph Gysin 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

I'm using a MacBookPro from late 2016, which features a keyboard and touchpad that are attached via SPI (spi_pxa2xx_platform), using the driver from [0]. It seems that with the upgrade to kernel 4.13. CONFIG_SPI has been removed [1]. Any idea what was the motivation behind this change? Was it intentional? I'm totally capable of compiling my own kernel, but I'd rather spend my time on other things :) Could we have CONFIG_SPI back in the stock kernel?

Hello, I am sorry to write here about this about I would like to register on https://bbs.archlinux.org to have access to the Arch forum. The problem is that I am unable to install Arch but the registration page is asking me the result of an Arch command that I cannot run because I cannot install it in the first place. So I cannot register and I don't know who to contact to help me. Is someone here can help me with this situation? Thank you.

Please reply to the mailing list and write your answer below the quotes, not above the quotes. You need to edit grub.cfg or run this GRUB auto-thingy to get rid of the GRUB menu entry. Getting rid of the partition has nothing to do with GRUB or any other boot loader at all. If you move the start/beginning of the root partition of your Arch install, then you need to reinstall the boot loader. I'm a little bit surprised to read such a request from an Arch Linux user. Did you already read the Arch Wiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/partitioning https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB/Tips_and_tricks Disclaimer I didn't read those Wikis, since I know how to partition, delete, resize etc. the kind of partitions I'm using and because I'm using syslinux. Google or another search engine could help you to find more related Wikis. It's better first to get some information and after that to send a request to the mailing list by mentioning that you read something, but it's still unclear to you.

With all programs above I can scan - right. I can also make an PDF of the scan. With gscan2pdf I can scan many pages at once (fledbed scanner or ADF) and convert all pages directly to PDF. In addition, OCR is performed. And a pdf is generated with the text from OCR as hocr layer. The special feature is that a searchable PDF can be created at once. As far as I know it is not possible with simple-scan nor with scanlite nor with gambas3-gb-scanner. The special thing is that I can correct then OCR Text directly before I save the file. And a few other things that simplify the work. It is not just another scan program. It is the only program I know what allows archiving in this way. best regards Stephan

[arch-general] qt5ct color scheme -> looking for a lxqt dark theme
by Javier 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hi, I've been looking for getting a dark appearance to lxqt, and so far the closest is through qt5ct color schemes specified through *.conf little files under qt5ct, somehow documented here: [1] https://www.pcsuggest.com/lxqt-dark-style When using the breeze color scheme provided by [1]: ++++ [ColorScheme] active_colors=#eff0f1, #31363b, #4c545c, #40464d, #171a1c, #2a2e32, #eff0f1, #ffffff, #eff0f1, #232629, #31363b, #111314, #3daee9, #eff0f1, #2980b9, #7f8c8d, #31363b, #000000, #31363b, #eff0f1 disabled_colors=#6e7175, #2e3338, #4a5259, #3e444a, #16191b, #282c30, #65686a, #ffffff, #6e7175, #212427, #2e3338, #101213, #2e3338, #6e7175, #234257, #404648, #2e3338, #000000, #31363b, #eff0f1 inactive_colors=#eff0f1, #31363b, #4c545c, #40464d, #171a1c, #2a2e32, #eff0f1, #ffffff, #eff0f1, #232629, #31363b, #111314, #224e65, #eff0f1, #2980b9, #7f8c8d, #31363b, #000000, #31363b, #eff0f1 ++++ There's no contrast at all between active and non active tabs on multi-tab applications, pretty noticeable in qt5ct itself and qterminal... Is there a way to get such color scheme files to choose from? Also, is there some specification of what each of the 20 colors specified per active/disabled/inactive ones is supposed to mean? The inactive and active ones are pretty similar, except for the 13th color, not sure if some more should change. The disabled one is of course more different, :) I'm not looking for the inactive colors to be similar to the disabled ones, just a bit more of contrast than what I see, which is no difference on tabs or even buttons... Thanks, -- Javier

[arch-general] gscan2pdf - could it be included in the official arch repositories?
by Stephan Fuchs 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hello! I would like to ask if the program gscan2pdf could be included in the official arch repositories. In particular also for all necessary perl dependencies to work For me and many other people it is a very important office program. (179 votes) With it we can scan all letters and documents easily for archiving with gscan2pdf. In the AUR, there have been some problems since the packages are outdated. And since I regard as important, I want to ask if it is feasibl to included gscan2pdf in the official repositories. There are currently no alternatives. best regards Stephan Fuchs

[arch-general] tmux/systemd: tmux user service exits on detach/logout
by David Runge 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Hey all, I got a very strange behavior with tmux and systemd on my server and maybe someone knows a way around it. The way I start tmux is as follows: Setting TMUX_TMPDIR to my user's XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and starting tmux in a systemd user service [1]. I do the same for other things, such as weechat [2]. They both use the same tmux.conf [3]. Lingering is activated for my user, so the enabled user services will start with the system and stay running, even when it's disconnected... in theory (and this used to work very well, without a problem for years). With some changes in systemd however, this seems to fail now, and I can't seem to find the reason why. Tmux just exits with "server lost" once I do a detach. At first I could only observe this behavior when I had a shared ssh session to the server (so I thought), that I then quit, or when I attached and detached the tmux session quickly. Now I'm getting this nearly every time I detach from the tmux session! I tried several things by now, and it doesn't seem to make any difference: - using legacy cgroups [4], because of maybe being affected by this [5] - switching to single connections instead of shared connections for ssh (lowered the amount of random tmux quits!) - using hardened kernel (just to try another one) - logging a tmux session, without getting any output, that would explain, why this happens - crossing fingers (actually helps, because the bug seems completely random ;/ ) - using a system scope unit (tmux@username) [6], getting the same results - downgrading tmux to >=2.3 (no difference) - downgrading systemd to <=233-7 (seems to happen less frequently) For some awkward reason, it seems to have worked again for a short time, when Arch first switched to systemd 233 a few days back [6], but ever since it moved to systemd-stable [7], the problem is back (and even worse than before). Me thinking that might only be due to a "less frequent occurence" though. I'm just wondering, how to solve this. Maybe someone has a great idea to share? It's getting beyond annoying by now and I can't seem to find out, if it's tmux, systemd or some kernel problem... or all of them together. David P.S.: Doesn't seem to happen with screen. I don't want to adapt everything to screen now though ;) [1] https://git.sleepmap.de/software/uenv.git/tree/user/tmux.service [2] https://git.sleepmap.de/software/uenv.git/tree/user/weechat.service [3] https://git.sleepmap.de/config/dotfiles.git/tree/.tmux.conf [4] https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.html#systemd.legac… [5] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3388 [6] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tmux#Autostart_with_systemd [7] https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/sys… [8] https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-general] [Classroom] pre-announcement and poll for Python for Beginners
by fsckd 24 Sep '17

24 Sep '17

Hello, If you are interested in learning the basics of Python and are confused where to start or you know someone that could use Python in their work or hobbies, there is an upcoming class. Notes are available online.[1] There will be 5 or so sessions, each lasting 2 hours, to be held on different days. The format is similar to past classes[2] and this class will be held on IRC with logs published afterwards. New for Classroom, this class will have a simultaneous live stream accessed through YouTube which will be later saved and archived (with subtitles). As attendants could be from different time zones, there will be a poll to schedule each session. Links for first 2: https://framadate.org/archpyb-poll-1 https://framadate.org/archpyb-poll-2 To vote, use the password: archclass Your vote is not publicly visible. Note that times are in UTC (and the times listed in both session polls overlap). The 2 hour window with the most votes will be announced officially here on arch-general and other venues like the BBS.

Re: [arch-general] systemd - move to base group and expect it to be installed?
by Marc Boocha 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

I am unable to send to arch-dev-public for some reason so i am send my reply to arch general. I think the filesystem can be split, the sysuser/tempfile will be in the independent package. I do believe we seriously need a meta package for some parts of base. Systemd, Glibc, PAM, Filesystem, Coreutils, mkinitcpio ,Util linux and linux firmware are obviously need to be moved to a metapackage. This helps since it makes it easier during major transitions in the future. Stuff like editors, bootladers, kernels (efi partions when dual booting has space for a single kernel), snail are optional and remain as a group. The meta package takes place of all other package of the base group.

[arch-general] gnome fix needed
by Jude DaShiell 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

I discovered this and was able to recover, and think gnome could do with a fix. I put together a script to completely erase gnome from this system and for the most part that script worked really well. The exception was that it also removed wpa_supplicant since I had cascading and recursive and unneeded packages being removed. Without wpa_supplicant on a system that system in command line mode isn't getting out onto the internet. I put wpa_supplicant back on the system using the install disk I have and the internet at least is working correctly. I was trying to get orca talking on the system and couldn't do it so figured it's best if I start with a clean slate which is the reason for the removal script. I'll run it for xorg and mate before I'm finished and try to get all of this stuff running again without questionable configuration files on the system. I think I may get lucky. According to email from another list, apparently neither gdm nor lightdm will get us screen reader users to a talking orca, but xorg should get that job done. If someone has the time, please run sudo -H Xorg --configure and let me know if that command errors out with a segmentation fault at address 0x50 or any other address or if you get a configuration file generated. It could be xorg configuration on this system is also messed up beyond repair and I'll have to clean that out too. --

[arch-general] Detect broken DHCP setup
by Giovanni Santini 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Good morning, tl;dr: I was wondering what could be the best way to check a DHCP setup. Briefly: our landlord provides us Wifi through a telephonic company service. However, the routers placed in the building after some time lose the DHCP settings. While I can fix it on my computer with a reconnection, such a method is not applicable to my Raspberrys. On one I have Raspbian, on the other ArchLinuxARM. While I found a possible solution for the Raspbian, for ALARM I have some doubt. On that device I am using *systemd-networkd + systemd-resolved* for the network setup. However, I saw no real method to check if the DHCP configuration is valid (while NetworkManager provides an element through DBus inspection). Does anyone has some knowledge about it? To be fair, I am asking as I am sure the 'ping Google DNSs and if it is screwed restart the networking, use this as a cron job' will likely work, but I was interested in a more elegant way to approach it (like the NetworkManaged DBus introspection).

[arch-general] Cinnamon desktop and keybindings
by Jeanette C. 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hey hey, I've started trying Cinnamon as a desktop. Since I'm blind, I rely on the keyboard shortcuts. The standard keybindings doesn't appear to give me much access though. Using gsettings I've identified a few Cinnamon related schemas. Though not all of them are taking effect. I've read about some keybinding and customisation issues online. So... Which keybinding schemas have a real effect on the environment? Is there perhaps a configuration for keyboard access to Cinnamon, without media-keys (those special keys some keyboards have)? Any practical advise on this is very much appreciated.

Hello all, Some days ago the pandoc mantainer [1] do a rebuild of it [2] where add a lot of haskell package dependencies. I think that the build changes the binary from statically linked to dinamically linked, but IMHO, I prefer the static one (55,08 MiB of package) over the dinamic (more than 666 MB in libraries). What do you think about this? Other solution can be have other package "pandoc-static", that maintains the previous method of package. Greetings.

[arch-general] DNSmasq forward caching to local

Hello, I'm building a dnsmasq in place to cache the DNS requests from a foreign DNS server. The idea is, my computer makes a DNS request that is not registered In my local Dnsmasq, but it does a forward and sends it to the DNS server (Mentioned above). So, that the next time I come back To consult that DNS address, and have it cached and do not need Request it from the outside DNS server. I have this configuration: listen-address=127.0.0.1 port=53 bind-interfaces user=dnsmasq log-facility=/var/log/dnsmasq.log log-queries dns-forward-max=150 cache-size=150 server=192.168.0.33 But in the logs I see, I do not cache anything in the local, which always goes to Ask the DNS entries to the server 192.168.0.33: Dnsmasq [5067]: query [A] www.google.es from 127.0.0.1 Dnsmasq [5067]: forwarded www.google.com to 192.168.0.33 What am I doing wrong??

[arch-general] Increase console size regardless of screen size

Howdy, I am blind, and don't even have a screen connected to this computer. For some reason, my console size is 30 lines and 80 columns. I've not seen this small of a console before. they usually have 50+ lines and over 100 columns. I have searched for quite a while, but not found anything about increasing the console size. I did find a python script that will set the screen to the actual size, but it returns 30 80 as well, so no luck there either. One site said you could just export the lines and columns you want, but that failed, even though the variables were set correctly. Is there any way to set the lines and columns regardless of the size your computer believes the screen to be? Thanks for any help, Storm -- Powered by Arch Linux!

[arch-general] Problems installing Arch on external HDD
by Murari 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hi all, I am having problems installing Arch on an external HDD (the internal hard disk in the laptop died...). It is a BIOS system with MBR. I decided to use grub as bootloader, but when I reboot after the initial installation process I am stuck at the "Welcome to GRUB" screen with a blinking cursor. It does not continue with boot or drop me to grub shell. I partitioned the drive as per the Installation Guide, and also edited the HOOKS line in mkinitcpio.conf to put 'block' right after 'udev' as per the wiki page on installing to a USB stick. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem here? Cheers! Murari

[arch-general] Contributions to the wiki - Are user contributions a thing of the past?
by David C. Rankin 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Archdevs, When I see an wiki page that is unclear or could benefit from a small addition, for the past 7+ years I've tried to do my part, and I was happy to do so. But, consistently, for the past year or so, any user contributions to the wiki are systematically struct from the pages. The latest being a small addition to the multilib page to make clear that following repo addition and update you need to explicitly install the wanted multilib packages. Following the directions on the page as it exists gets you nowhere, but implies that it is all that needs to be done. Again, as has been the form over the past year or, the additions are erased and a vague reference mentioning the additional steps are covered in an ancillary page is given as the reason. As a P.E. and Attorney, I know documentation. I know when it's clear, and when it's not clear. If the point of the wiki is to provide clear information to users, then why are all improvements systematically struck? Yes, brevity is a good thing, but not at the expense of clarity... Does Arch still want user contribution to the wiki? If so, systematically deleting the contributions that users take the time to make, isn't going to promote further contribution. Why bother, more than likely it will just be erased.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Handling python venv packages breaking on glibc update
by Oon-Ee Ng 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

I use psycopg2 for postgres access in my pyramid web-app, and like most (all?) python developers all the dependencies are in a virtualenv, including psycopg2 itself. This means, of course, that the psycopg2 wheel is precompiled. With the recent glibc-2.26 update, I can no longer import psycopg2. This is the error message I get on the file libresolv-2-c4c53def.5.so: symbol __res_maybe_init, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference I'm not sure why the psycopg2 pip package bundles in libresolv (which is part of glibc in Arch, explaining why the Arch psycopg2 package works fine, even without a recompile). Where's the right place for me to fix this? With the psycopg2 pip maintainers or somewhere else?

[arch-general] text console no longer turns off (it blanks, but powered) after 4.12.5 or xf86-video-ati update
by David C. Rankin 20 Aug '17

20 Aug '17

All, I have 2 Arch servers that boot to the default text console. It has always properly blanked (DPMS power off) after the default timeout (6-7 min?). After update to the 4.12.5 kernel, which occurred at the same time of the xf86-video-ati (1:7.9.0-1 -> 1:7.9.0-2) update, the monitor no longer powers off when the screen blanks. An hour later there is still the blanked-but-powered light from the monitor (I don't know if this is called backlight power for the text console rather than X). The problem continues after the 4.12.6 update. So there was either something in the 4.12.5 kernel update that is preventing the console power-off from working, or something in the xf86-video-ati update that did it. There is nothing in the journal about video or dpms. What else can I check to help figure out what broke? With X at least there is xset, but I'm not sure what to look at for the default terminal? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] intel-gpu-tools updated PKGBUILD
by Jordan Glover 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

I prepared updated PKGBUILD for intel-gpu-tools package[1] which is flagged out-of-date since 2016-12-05. I updated it to newest version (1.19), updated PGP key to currently used one, upgraded hash to sha256, added new dependencies found by namcap and generally enhanced PKGBUILD to highest Arch standards.

[arch-general] pacman doesn't show download progress
by SET 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

pacman -Syu show database download progress but not packages being downloaded. They do get downloaded and installation progress is rightly displayed. This can be annoying when connection speed is poor. This has been observed on three machines. I am obviously requesting a solution and am ready to provide any additional required information. Thanks.

[arch-general] Depends on foo-bar=10.0-3
by Ralf Mardorf 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hi, why does a package from official repositories mentions what version of a dependency is required? Since the actually optional dependency pulseaudio by upstream often is required as a hard dependency, for no sane reason, I installed a dummy package years ago, to workaround time consuming workarounds. Today I tried to install something and part of the dependency chain of stuff I don't need is pulseaudio-bluetooth. It doesn't matter, I'm willing to install pulseaudio-bluetooth, instead of building another dummy package or rebuilding something. Why does the package pulseaudio-bluetooth dedicated mentions pulseaudio=10.0-3? Why not simply mentioning "pulseaudio" without the version? Note! I'm not asking anybody not to do it like this! I only want to know the reason for mentioning a version of a dependency, for packages from official repositories, since I don't know any reason. IOW I only want to learn.

[arch-general] Strange time sync problem.
by Matthew Dyer 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Hi all, I have an arch machine with mate as the desktop. I am using orca all works well, but 1 problem that is driving me crazy is time zone syncrinization. If I get time with orca t, I here the time 4 hours ahead of my local time. For example, If I press orca t for time, it will tell me that it is 15:-01. It is speaking in 24 hour time rather than 12 hour. It is about 11 am eastering at time of writing this message. I am wondering if there is a way to fix this. I installed gnome control center and set it to sync timezone info and to use am-pm but the is not being used dispite the changed. How can I fix this? Thanks. I tried tz select, but not sure whare the file is to set globalble. hanks. Matthew

[arch-general] syslinux menu, dualhead issue
by Ralf Mardorf 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Hi, yesterday I connected a LCD monitor LG 24MB56HQ-B by HDMI and a CRT monitor by VGA to my Computer with an Intel HD Graphics of a Celeron G1840. IIRC (it's just a day ago :D) if I turned on the computer both monitors showed the BIOS as well as the syslinux menu at the same time. However, important is what happens today. I dislike the LG 24MB56HQ-B, so I gave it back and bought an EIZO FlexScanEV2450. The EIZO LCD monitor as well as the CRT monitor are connected by the same cables. Both monitors still show the BIOS, but just the CRT shows the syslinux menu. The LCD monitor claims that there is no HDMI signal. If I turn of the CRT monitor it doesn't change. If I disconnect the VGA cable, then the LCD monitor turns on and shows the syslinux menu. There are no issues with lightdm or openbox, xorg.conf and xrandr allow all wanted configurations, IOW I can chose between the LCD, the CRT or use both monitors. In short, just the syslinux menu does use the wrong monitor. I want to use the LCD display only, just for some tasks I want to use the CRT monitor, too. However, disconnecting the CRT monitor and only connecting it on demand isn't an option. Is there a way to ensure that syslinux does use the monitor connected by HDMI? Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] makepkg - any way to recompile only newly patched files in large packages?
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

All, There was a fix for a gtk2 bug I filed regarding the recentchooserdefault.c file. (it was a one-line fix where a variable needed reset to 0). Is there any way I can configure makepkg to behave as if the gcc -MP -MD options had been given to have it only recompile the one patched source without rebuilding the entire package -- again? I've been through the wiki and the man page, and other than --repackage, there doesn't seem to be anything that would work (or I'm just missing it). -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Why doesn't svntogit/{community, packages} describe cloning (or download) of individual packages?
by David C. Rankin 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

All, After abs demise, I ran into needed to rebuild gtk2 with --enable-debug=yes for a gtk.org bug report. Finding the packages from the normal package search is simple, but when you are on svntogit -- the only helpful discussions are to clone the entire repository, e.g.: Clone https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git ssh://git.archlinux.org/srv/git/svntogit/community.git Nowhere are there options to download or clone the current repository (like github) and nowhere is there a mention of 'asp export pkgname'. There is no wiki for asp and the only mention is in the ABS page -- and that information relates to the svn part of the tree. 'asp export' works fine, but if there is nothing on the svntogit that directs folks to it, the only information given is to 'Clone' as shown above. (which will result in roughly 500M each for community and packages if the instructions on the page are followed (compared to what was 88M total for abs). Can individual clone or download urls be provided on each package page like with github? Can references to 'asp export' also be provided? Those seems like things that should be done to help with the transition away from abs and help preserve bandwidth. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Malformed ascii art saying "Don't feed the trolls" IE: Can't attack the message, attack the man. Because White Men Programmers simply do not know what they do not know and take proper, correct, legal analysis from a license attorney dealing with a relevant issue as "trolling". Here's a response from another attorney: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2017-July/044040.html https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/29/128 Notice Bruce Perens has NO response. Neither does Professor Moglen who apparently forgot to include a no-revocation clause in version 2 of the GPL when he drafted it, thus keeping open the possibility of any rights-holder to unilaterally recind their grant at any time for any reason so-long as they did not make a relied-upon communication to the grantee speaking otherwise. (seemingly** completely negligent drafting of the document) (a no-revocation clause would atleast make it easier to claim estopple and prevent unilateral revocation*) (Notice that the later edition; v3 (which linux is not licensed under) rectify this ommission (yes this is the main reason v3 had to be drafted, the pantent issue is a foil)) But Bruce and Moglen are friends (and both look down on Hans Reiser; feeling disparagingly about his work because Hans Reiser obeyed the dictats of his God regarding the adulterous behavior of the wife Nina, and then further, Hans did not accept any other ruler/judge/power etc (thus rejecting the plea agreement)) thus Moglen stays silent as Bruce Perens libels me. They have their square glasses on, they love their civilization that raises the woman above the man, that makes the man a draft animal of the woman, and keeps the man's love: the young girl***, from him. Bruce Perens and Professor Moglen have adopted the white man's belief system: That the man is the beast upon which the woman rightly rides; (rather than the Overlord (ba'al) of the female). Bruce Perens, Moglen, etc look down on those who see beauty where it truly resides: in the young girl***. Bruce Perens and Moglen are thus feel Superior for spurning what is actually good and embracing a pale shadow that seeks to collapse upon them. *no gaurentee however... this is an inherent right of a property owner... to recind unilateral grants,control his property, alienate it as he wished ** we do not know the requirements that the Client privately communicated for the drafting of the document ***( taking girl children as brides is permitted by the God under Deuteronomy 22, 28-29, hebrew ) Hans Reiser did nothing wrong according to the Book of the Law (Deuteronomy). Still, he stays strong. First A victim of false love Now A prisoner of conscience.

by nisus＠redchan.it 01 Aug '17

Thank you Mr. Rankin for saying this. Bruce Perens blocked me* (also calling me a "fool" later to a 3rd party) after I started to brainstorm the defenses that would be raised about a week or two ago: letting everyone in the world know what he thought of me for mentioning laches etc. Such talk is naivete to him and he "doesn't suffer fools willingly". Brainstorming what defenses the opposition will raise is the thinking of a naive fool according to Bruce Perens. I also noticed that Bruce Perens friend Professor Moglen hasn't commented, instead opting to sit and silently judge, but I did bring up the fact that GPL v2 lacks a no-revocation clause, thus (barring estopple) said license can be revoked at any time by the grantor. Which is the actual reason v3 of the GPL needed to be drafted (the patents issue being a foil). I guess Professor Moglen (RMS, ESR) and the rest don't want too many people to know about that part either and thus would rather downplay anything else I have written. To be clear: Rights-Holders can sue GRSecurity for the copyright violation stemming from the flagrant violation of section 6 of the license. Rights-Holders can also revoke GRSecurity's license to their code by notice and then sue them if they continue to make derivative works of said work. So Rights-Holders have two options there at their disposal. The GPL v2, by itself, does not give rise to an estopple situation where there has been no communication to the other party that they relied upon that the license would never be revoked by Rights-Holder. The permission flows from the Rights-Holder and not through intermediaries. Thus even if Linus made communications that HE would never revoke the permission he has given regarding his works of authorship, that does not bind other Rights-Holders regarding their code. *( lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/07/msg00830.html ) On 2017-07-30 07:14, David C.

[arch-general] Yes you have standing to sue GRSecurity.
by nisus＠redchan.it 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

It has come to my attention that some entities are claiming that you, dear Linux Hackers, (1)need to go through some foundation or get some permission from upon high in-order to sue the progenitors of GRSecurity for their violation of section 6 of the terms underwhich the linux kernel is distributed (version 2 of the GPL). And, furthermore, that (2)this foundation has no intention of bringing such a suit. (1) is false. (2) may very well be true. You do have standing to sue GRSecurity for their blatant continuing copyright violation if GRSecurity has made a derivative work of your code contribution to the Linux Kernel as-long as (a)you have not assigned your copyrights, and (b)you are not a work-for-hire. How do you know if you are a work for hire or if you have signed away your copyrights? If you are working for a company and as your job duties you are programming the linux kernel, there is a good chance that you are a work for hire and thus the company owns said copyrights. How do you know if you signed away your copyrights? Well if you singed a document transferring ownership of your copyrights for the code you produced at some point. If you are not working for a company while hacking linux and you haven't assigned your copyrights away then YOU OWN YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS. This means most of you hobby hackers, if GRSecurity has modified your code, YES YOU HAVE STANDING TO SUE. Yes your "betters" are lying to you. You have individual separate standing to sue. Yes you SHOULD consult a lawyer of your own. Yes you SHOULD consider a joint filing with other individual rights-holders willing to bring suit against GRSecurity for their blatant violation of your terms, and yes you should consider starting CLASS ACTION since the number of Linux Kernel Contributors seemingly numbers in the multitudes upon multitudes upon multitudes. And yes, I am an attorney. But no, I'm not looking for clients. Just correcting some false information that has been spreading. And yes, GRSecurity will try to claim that the linux-kernel is a work of Joint ownership (so as to shield themselves via procedural law) and yes they will try to claim fair use (probably de minimus), and yes your Lawyer will have to respond to these claims. The Joint ownership claim will go down quickly but it will have to be responded to. De minimus Fair Use depends on how much code is modified and how signifigant the modifications are. Don't let anyone but your own legal council dissuade you from bringing suit: Remember the statute of limitations is only a few years, so the clock is ticking on the CURRENT violation. Also make sure you register your copyright of the version of the linux-kernel that GRSecurity is using in its violation prior to bringing suit. The registration must be for the specific version. Yes you can register after the violation has occurred, however if you have registered before the violation then you can also pursue recovery of legal fees, pursue statutory damages, etc. ( NOTE: If you would like to read on how your copyright is being violated by GRSecurity, Bruce Perens posted a good write-up on his web-page ) ( perens.com/blog/2017/06/28/warning-grsecurity-potential-contributory-infrin… ) ( There was also a discussion on the linux section of slashdot, and on the debian user mailing list, and on the dng devuan mailing list and on the openwall mailing list and the fedora legal mailing list )

[arch-general] Procedure for getting informed about ban duration and reason
by mpan 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I’m asking for an advice on how to proceed. I am *not* discussing the reasons or trying to rant. The situation is: — On July 25th at 3:10 UTC I have been banned on #archlinux-offtopic with the reason „fuck you” and a warning „next time you trash talk on the ops, I set it to a week”. I was sleeping at the time, so I have discovered that just before 16 UTC. — Since I was given no info on the ban duration and the reason seemed strange, I’ve wanted to contact the op responsible for the ban. He was absent, so I was advised to use phrik’s !later to send a message. This is what I have done, asking for the reason and the relevant logs with the context. — The op has appeared. After waiting for a hour I’ve received no response, so I have PM’d him with the same question. — After another hour of waiting there was still no answer, but seeing the op on #archlinux I’ve asked him about the issue. I was informed that if I am going to ask about that, the ban will be prolonged and then I was threatened with a “final warning”. It’s July 27th ~22:30 UTC and I am neither unbanned, have no information on ban duration or the actual reason and being prohibited from querying that via IRC.

[arch-general] Dual boot issue, windows doesn't show up on grub
by Junayeed Ahnaf 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

Hello , I installed arch on my laptop which has 2 hard drives , one is ssd (linux is installed there, also grub), one is HDD(with windows). So, at boot time , I can select either hard disk or ssd and can get either windows or arch. Is there a way for grub to see both Linux and Windows? I tried sudo update-grub and sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg but they don't recognize windows. My windows is not uefi if that's any issue. My linux is on /dev/sdb2 and windows on /dev/sda2 if that's any concern. Thanks J

[arch-general] New - systemd 234 - luks partition fails to ask for password
by Genes Lists 17 Jul '17

17 Jul '17

This has been working for years - starting on recent reboots systemd is failing to ask for password for luks encrypted /home partition and boot halts. Fully updated from testing repos - when I reboot now, systemd no longer asks for password to unlock luks partition. There is no hesitation at all and no password prompt at all. The boot runs through and gives an error that crypt set up failed. Root is not encrypted just /home. I'm then prompted to press Ctl D or give root password and drop to single user mode - doing that then I can manually do: cryptsetup open /dev/sdxx home which prompts for password and succeeds After I do above, then the error goes away evidenced by: systemctl status systemd-cryptsetup(a)home.service shows all is normal - exiting from single user 'repair' mode - then boot continues and completes normally. And /home gets mounted via /dev/mapper as normal The issue is with latest systemd that I no longer get prompted for a password for the luks encrypted partition. Thoughts: systemd password agents: running systemd-ask-password by hand does indeed ask for password in the console. /run/systemd/ask-password is empty directory. the journal contains this: systemd-cryptsetup[316]: Failed to query password: Timer expired systemd[1]: Failed to start Cryptography Setup for home. (Its possible that the bug is in systemd-cryptsetup in latest release?) Versions: # pacman -Q linux systemd linux 4.12.1-2 systemd 234.0-2 cryptsetup 1.7.5-1 I googled but was no able to find any relevant bugs - checked systemd github issues but found nothing similar. thanks. -- Gene lists(a)sapience.com

[arch-general] nginx package compiled on testing?
by Damjan Georgievski 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

At this moment packages in core/extra are: nginx 1.12.1-1 pacman 5.0.2-1 nginx -V has --with-cc-opt='-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong -fno-plt -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' but the pacman 5.0.2-1 version of /etc/makepkg.conf doesn't have the -fno-plt argument. I'd assume nginx 1.12.1-1 was compiled on a system with pacman 5.0.2-2 from testing? https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/diff/trunk/makepkg.conf?h=p… Is this allowed?

[arch-general] systemd on bios computer
by Jude DaShiell 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

When doing a systemd upgrade I get: (3/7) Upgrading systemd-boot... Couldn't find EFI system partition. It is recommended to mount it to /boot. Alternatively, use --path= to specify path to mount point. error: command failed to execute correctly Are either of the above alternatives even viable for a real bios machine? This one got built when efi was somewhere on the drawing board or maybe before efi ever got to the drawing board. --

[arch-general] [Classroom] The Beginner's Guide to Arch Linux package management
by Eli Schwartz 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Eschwartz will be teaching a class "The Beginner's Guide to Arch Linux package management". As usual, the class will be taught in the #archlinux-classroom channel on irc.freenode.net. It will take place on Sunday, June 4 at 17:00:00 UTC, and last approximately 2 hours. This class is primarily focused on teaching the basic structure of PKGBUILDs: how to read/write/modify them, handle different source types, common errors and how to avoid them, and finally contribute them to the AUR for others to use. Everyone is welcome to join, as long as you follow the eminently fair rules in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Code_of_conduct. :) Prerequisites: * Have a basic knowledge of bash and shell commands in general. * The ability to use a text editor (e.g., nano, vim, emacs, gedit, Atom, etc.) Eschwartz is well known for his profusion of posts to the Arch Linux Fora, Mailing Lists, bugtracker, and IRC -- basically, anywhere that doesn't shut the door on him first. He has been an Arch user ever since he was introduced to Linux about four years ago, and has never looked back. He enjoys bash scripting, ebooks, and (apparently) referring to himself in third-person. -- Eli Schwartz

[arch-general] Kde + Gnome dual-install issues
by Francesco Porro 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

I'm a quite new user of Arch and in general I'm very satisfied with it! Since I've installed both Kde/Plasma and Gnome on my system, I've two question for you: 1) In a Gnome session, which file should I edit to make folders on my Desktop open with Nautilus, when I double click on them? I've tried checking and editing ~/config/mimefiles.list (as stated in the wiki) but the right settings is already there. Under [Default applications] there is: > inode/directory=org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop; Which it's supposed to let Nautilus open a folder on double clicking, but anyway Dolphin opens it up! I've also put a gnome-mimefiles.list with the same directive... nothing :\ 2) In a Kde/Plasma session I see a lot of gnome-* process running, even if didn't opened any gnome-related app. How to disable the auto-start of those deamons/apps? I don't know exactly where to look at, which is the right conf file to edit? Thank you in advance! -- fp PGP: 0x45399C26

[arch-general] Please update the Cinnamon packages
by Marcelo Ranolfi 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Good morning, Our Cinnamon packages, from maintainer Alexandre Filgueiras ( https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?maintainer=faidoc) have been out-of-date for a while now. Someone asked on Reddit a month ago about this ( https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/6axs8n/to_alexandre_filgueria_w…) and was informed that the packages are up-to-date in Antergos. I appreciate that Mr. Filgueira is the founder and project leader for Antergos. Since the Cinnamon packages are currently lagging 5 months behind official releases, I'd like to ask Mr Filgueira to either step up and update the packages, or possibily consider handing over the maintanership in the best interest of the community. The Cinnamon DE is developing fast, and a rather large number of quirks are fixed each release. There's a git version in AUR, but it's basically broken (the PKGBUILD themselves, and the sources - it's dev version after all). I'd create another AUR package myself for the most up-to-date version, but we have a policy of not doing that for official packages. Anyway, I would volunteer to maintain Cinnamon, if needed. Thanks for your consideration.

[arch-general] kernel-install in archlinux
by Damjan Georgievski 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Is there any plan for moving ArchLinux to the kernel-install infrastructure[1] I've seen some talk about it from a year ago, but the discussion seems to have died off. My personal use case is to have a hook that self-signs kernel+initramfs+cmdline images for secure boot (using my own keys), and currently I have to do that manually whenever the initramfs is updated.

[arch-general] Samsung NVMe set up

Hello everyone: I built a new machine with a Samsung SSD 960 EVO NVMe <https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjWxp_rk8nUAhWBf…>Samsung SSD 960 EVO NVMe <https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjWxp_rk8nUAhWBf…>Samsung 950 EVO NVMe M.2 500GB component. Installation went swell. I was able to use bootctl (by whatever name), which seemed to be easier than using GRUB. (on the Manjaro wiki was found an extremely coherent discussion of this system). I have encountered no problems other than slow-ish (if one would call it that). When I run hdparm to test the performance of this memory, it falls far short of the specification of 32 Gb/s. I realize that the Linux kernel has recently included some code for the NVME drivers. There is also some question as to the best parameters to use in /etc/fstab. So I am requesting assistance to set up this device on this mailing list. I am using the Zen kernel. Some checks I have made: # hdparm -Tt --direct /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme0n1: Timing O_DIRECT cached reads: 2404 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1201.67 MB/sec Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 5372 MB in 3.00 seconds = 1790.16 MB/sec # nvme get-feature -f 0x0c -H /dev/nvme0n1p2 get-feature:0xc (Autonomous Power State Transition), Current value:0x000001 Autonomous Power State Transition Enable (APSTE): Enabled Auto PST Entries .................

[arch-general] TeXLive 2017 packages are now available in [testing]
by Rémy Oudompheng 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

Hello, TexLive 2017 has been released at the beginning of the month and is now packaged in [testing]. No particular issue is expected when upgrading to this release. Note that a few packages disappear in this release, following upstream changes in structure: * texlive-genericextra (merged in texlive-core) * texlive-htmlxml (merged in texlive-core and formatsextra) * texlive-plainextra (merged in texlive-core) Pacman hooks for TeXLive, which were in texlive-bin, are now in texlive-core, which should fix bugs like FS50238, FS20423 and FS51918. I expect to move them to [extra] early July. Happy TeXing, Regards, Rémy.

[arch-general] Unable to start gnome-terminal from KDE session
by Jeremy Brown 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

Hello arch-general! I have a laptop running the latest KDE / Plasma, but I use gnome-terminal as my terminal app. Recently I noticed that when I launch gnome-terminal from the KDE start menu, it takes an incredibly long time to launch (maybe 20+ seconds) and when it does launch, I just get a flashing prompt with no actual shell. If I launch a second gnome-terminal after that, *that* gnome-terminal seems fine. I get a normal working shell. If I launch xterm then the xterm is fine. Running "journalctl -f" while I launch the initial gnome-terminal instance shows: ------- Jun 08 02:37:24 fourroses.brownjava.org kwin_x11[8054]: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 62818, resource id: 37749768, major code: 18 (ChangeProperty), minor code: 0 Jun 08 02:37:24 fourroses.brownjava.org dbus-daemon[599]: Activating via systemd: service name='org.gnome.Terminal' unit='gnome-terminal-server.service' Jun 08 02:37:24 fourroses.brownjava.org systemd[574]: Starting GNOME Terminal Server...

[arch-general] freshclam eating 100% CPU continually during nonblock_recv
by David C. Rankin 17 Jun '17

17 Jun '17

All, I'm not sure if this is a package bug or an upstream bug. I have used clamav for years. The rotation of servers always causes a timeout on one or two servers, never been a problem. Updating tonight, freshclam hung for 13 minutes with the assigned CPU core pegged at 100%. At the 13 minutes mark, I did receive an error I'm not accustomed to seeing: Downloading daily-23454.cdiff [100%] nonblock_recv: recv timing out (30 secs) WARNING: getfile: Error while reading database from database.clamav.net (IP: 104.131.196.175): Operation now in progress WARNING: getpatch: Can't download daily-23455.cdiff from database.clamav.net Trying host database.clamav.net (194.8.197.22)...

[arch-general] problems accessing samba share through Xfce gui
by Paul Marwick 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

Arch Linux, fully updated, running Xfce, installed on a Lenovo T420 laptop. I’m having strange, intermittent problems accessing samba shares through the GUI. The problem varies, no pattern that I can detect. Sometimes, clicking on the “Browse Network” icon in Thunar does nothing, eventually returning ‘Failed to open “/” Timeout reached’ . Other times it will open the network view and allow me to double-click the Windows Network icon. Sometimes that is the last thing that happens (possibly followed by another timeout error, though that can take so long that I may have shut the machine down before it happens). If it gets past the main Windows network stage, it will show me any active workgroup. It may fail there, or it may give me a view of the machines in the workgroup. It may allow me to select a machine, and may show me the shares on the machine. If I double-click on a share, it will (sometimes) pop up the login dialog. If that fails, sometimes double-clicking a second time will show the login dialog. If I am able to connect to a share, there is (sometimes) a further problem. Using the Thunar option to disconnect from the share works, but if I attempt to reconnect to the share, or connect to another share, instead of opening the share in Thunar, it opens VLC, which doesn’t understand what is going on and does nothing. I have two other Arch installations on my laptop, plus two desktop machines which run Arch. None of the other installations have any similar problems. The Arch installs are all very similar in terms of how they were installed and the software they have on them. Also, the install which is giving me this problem developed it – originally it worked without any errors. I mad a mistake configuring the samba server on an Ubuntu 16.04 server and followed that up by attempting to access the share from my Arch install. This problem has been happening ever since then, but only on the one install. I’ve checked the systemd journal and found absolutely nothing to help me diagnose the problem. This install does have on problem which shows consistently during boot - I get a core dump in the systemd journal from colord-sane (which is installed on the other installs as well). However, while the core dump happens on every boot, the samba problem only happens on some, so I don't think the problem comes from there. I’m fairly sure that the problem is not Thunar itself (I’ve tried PcmanFM, which shows similar inconsistent behaviour – sometimes it will connect without problems, other times pcmanfm locks up and does nothing, has to be forced closed. I also installed gigolo, which also shows similar problems. I think the problem is in one of the back-end programs which handles mounting the shares. I guess that includes gvfs, fuse and possibly d-bus. I’ve not managed to find an explanation of exactly what is used when mounting a share using the gui. I should also mention that when this happens, I can mount the shares without problems from the command line, or using mount with suitable entries in /etc/fstab. Also, thinking that there might be something messed up in my user profile, I added another user and tested using that user. Problem is exactly the same - sometimes the mount works without errors, others it fails in the same unpredictable manner. While I could fix the problem by reinstalling, this is one of the few things I’ve ever hit in Arch that (so far), I’ve been unable to fix. I would really love to be able to fix it, but that means I need to have some way of diagnosing where the problem is. Any help would be very gratefully received.

I kind of feel like users who do the wrong thing should not be catered to. That being said, using a perl directory layout that causes non-rebuilt packages to simply go missing from the perl installation seems like an *excellent* tradeoff of harmless while providing useful functionality. It seems to work well for python, too. Hooks to warn people when they do the wrong thing seem ugly, but I can't really claim to be extremely bothered if it is as lightweight as a check for existing files/directories, I assume running whenever the perl package is updated... But providing wrapper scripts that hijack the perl binary every time you try to do anything that involves perl is a *terrible idea*, and regardless, if users don't pay attention to pacman output they deserve everything that happens to them. Paying attention to pacman output is non-optional in Arch, last I checked. -- Eli Schwartz

[arch-general] gnupg: systemd enable in post_install
by Damjan Georgievski 10 Jun '17

10 Jun '17

what's the rationale to enable the gnupg sockets in post_install of the package? https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/install?h=packag… I don't disagree that the sockets maybe should be enabled (I have them enabled for me), it's just a strange way to enable them in post_install, and linking them in /etc/ Why doesn't the PKGBUILD make the symlinks in /usr/lib/systemd/user/sockets.target.wants/ ? dbus does that for ex. -- damjan

Good afternoon, as said in the subject I am having some issues running MiniDLNA on my home server. The service fires up properly (the status web page is properly accessible), however the server is not visible when I scan for it in my DLNA-enanched applications, on all the platforms (my Android phone and tablet + my computer). In the past it was working when my home server was connected through Ethernet, but I had to make a really bad setup and I would prefer to keep it on wireless.

[arch-general] update issue: veracrypt: removing wxgtk breaks dependency 'wxgtk>=3.0'
by David C. Rankin 08 Jun '17

All, There was a slight hitch in the system update tonight with the requirement of: Replace wxgtk with extra/wxgtk2? choosing 'Y' results in unmet dependencies for veracrypt, e.g. :: Replace wxgtk with extra/wxgtk2? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: veracrypt: removing wxgtk breaks dependency 'wxgtk>=3.0' I have checked the archlinux.org page and there are no notes. Is there a recommended way to handle this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Replace python-magic from darwinsys with ahupp implementation
by Óscar García Amor 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

Hi all! Current in pacman we have python-magic from http://darwinsys.com/file/ with an unknown custom license. We have other implementation with MIT license made by ahupp [1]. The second one is available in pypi and is more advanced that the first one. I have been checking the code of dependencies of python-magic and I can see that deepin-movie and diffoscope supports well ahupp version. Why not replace python-magic with diffoscope version, as can see in AUR [2] this version is used for much more packages. Greetings.

[arch-general] Xorg configuration on a dual graphic card system
by KangJing Huang 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hi there, I'm trying to setup my xorg configuration on my dual graphic card desktop system. The system has two cards, one iGPU Intel HD Graphics 530, another is a dGPU Nvidia GTX 1070 on PCIe. I plugged one monitor to the iGPU port and another to the dGPU port and let the motherboard boot from iGPU. Right now, the fbcon works well on the iGPU, and I installed Nvidia non-free driver, and would like to run X on dGPU. I used the nvidia-xconfig to generate a Xorg configuration, and after starting Xorg, I got display from the monitor connected to dGPU, but it seems that the 3D rendering on that screen is software-based, and `glxinfo | grep vendor` showed that libglvnd on that X environment is selecting mesa as the GL library to use. With mesa being called on a dGPU connected screen, apparently it could not find a correct device to do dri, and fell back to software rendering. Does anyone know the proper way of config X so that libglvnd could know which GL library to use correctly in this case? Thanks, K.H.

[arch-general] Problem regarding Resolution on Nvidia
by Junayeed Ahnaf 02 Jun '17

Hello, I am using nvidia proprietary driver on arch linux (GNOME with Wayland), My HDMI port broke so I connected my monitor using DVI ports (with VGA adapter since my monitor does not have any DVI output). Now my aspect ratio is fixed on 4:3. I can't make it to 16:9 nor can I use 1920*1080. Steps I've taken : 1. Following archwiki I tried to create a new rule for xrandr but it failed 2. I tried editing xorg.conf refresh rate and it added some weird resolution but still no 16:9 3. Added subsection on "Screen" defining resolution, it did not do anything ;( What can I do? Any suggestion will be helpful. Thanks in advance. J Sent from Nylas Mail<https://n1.nylas.com/link/5ba4f02ea2b0084a1a5ba0fbbe6dee6293853c593b984a854…>, the best free email app for work

When i switch the KVM for the second screen, Xorg re-detect my primary screen and turn it On, but i can't see all my windows because the monitor is still switched on the Windows GPU. My arch GPU is a GTX980 running on proprietary drivers. Thank you Have a good day.

So I wanted to ask to you where do you host your packages, if you have a private server or you take advantage of already present services. I was also wondering if some integration with Gitlab/Github could be possible. That would be cool. -- Giovanni Santini My blog: http://giovannisantini.tk My code: https://git{hub,lab}.com/ItachiSan My GPG: 2FADEBF5

Re: [arch-general] Segmentation fault and (possibly) file system bug while removing gnome-extra
by Robert W0ng 16 May '17

16 May '17

Hi, Guus. I've just run the memtest from archiso. Just passed, no error reported. So I'm afraid it has to be an fs bug or other hardware error... I'm looking forward to running a SMART test later. But the current Arch installation is on a Kingstom USB drive, is that okay with the SMART test? In fact, what confused me most now is why both pacman and fsck reported segmentation fault... It can't just be a coincidence, right? Oh, remembered one more thing. I tried to remove the gnome-extra group again this afternoon. The same error, the same output. More specifically, even exactly the same time the error happened (when attemptting to remove package telepathy-idle). Funny enough, Uhm? ;) Thx a lot!

[arch-general] Ardour 5.6 released - status on update
by Britt Yazel 16 May '17

16 May '17

Hey everyone, Not to be impatient, but Ardour had another update today to version 5.6, and the stable repo's only have version 4.7 and testing only has 5.4. Nearly a month ago Ray Rashif promised to get 5.4 pushed to stable before the end of the weekend, though that appears to have fallen by the wayside. No criticism to Ray, as I am aware that he is was devoted to this thesis defense, but I would really love to see this package updated as it is more than a year out of date at this point. -Britt

If there is a problem with the fs, fsck should complain and if possible fix it, not just crash. Try memtest86 (give it a few hours) and see if something comes up. Mvg, Guus Snijders

[arch-general] Segmentation fault and (likely) file system bug while removing gnome-extra
by Robert W0ng 14 May '17

14 May '17

Hi, All. For several reasons I decided to remove the group 'gnome-extra' from my system. During the uninstallation, something went wrong. For a 'funny' reason, which I may explain later, I wasn't able to post the error log in the form of text here, so I will upload a photo as an attachment[1] with this mail... So, I switched to a getty and started the uninstallation. No errors occourred until it reached the 15th package. The package name was 'telepathy-idle'. All of a sudden the system printed a large section of dmesg, saying something like it had run into a kernel bug(?). The pacman was then killed, leaving the zsh reporting a segmentation fault... I felt the possibility that I wasn't able to handle this problem on my own, so I took a photograph using my mobile without even thinking, which proved to be useful later. Then I ran # dmesg >> /root/dmesg.output hoping to save the error log. I tried to restart the uninstallation, but the pacman freezed. Even pressing CTRL-C didn't work. I switched to another getty attemptting to terminal in, but after I entered 'root' and pressed ENTER, no any output. The course was just left there, blinking. Having no choice, I reboot the system using the magic sysrq keys... Rebooted, I checked the package changes. Confusingly, no packages was removed, even the previous should-be-removed 15 ones! Bad feeling about this, I checked the /root directory, and here came the most confusing part: The dmesg.output file was GONE! It seemed that all the data that should have been written to the disk were discarded... (And that's the reason why I have to post the error log in the form of shooted image... Somehow, I found myself a potential prophet... :P JUST KID...) Judged by this, together with the previous error log, I would say it's a file system bug... But, confused, how can an uninstallation of packages end up like this way? :( I would appreciate any help from you guys. Truly would. Thank you in advance! :) PS: I'm not going to post my pacman.conf here because all modification I had ever done to this file was to enable the color output. I suppose it can be excluded from the possible causes... And if necessary, I would recur the uninstallation with '--debug' flag enabled and report it to the upstream developer...

[arch-general] libx264 changes
by Carsten Mattner 08 May '17

08 May '17

Since the libx264 package does not include /usr/include and it's in x264 now, and because x264 depends on ffmpeg, I cannot use libx264 without also installing ffmpeg. For various reasons like missing features and wrong version I cannot use arch's ffmpeg package and have to build my own package, and this results in a cyclic dependency I cannot get out of. (lib)x264 packages have always been cumbersome due to 8bit vs 10bit and other issues and are uniquely special in arch, but since there's already so many x264 packages, let's have a libx264-headers package. Or keep it in libx264 since 8bit and 10bit cannot be installed in parallel anyway. Doug, you probably have good reasons for the recent headers change and see no way to fix it to make my scenario work, but I'd appreciate if you gave this a thought and shared your opinion. If you can't fix this, do you mind explaining what led to the removal of headers from libx264? I hope I don't have to build libx264 myself as well since my PKGBUILD would diverge or force me to build libx264 and x264 custom versions.

[arch-general] AIF-NG (feedback/Request for Comments)
by brent s. 08 May '17

08 May '17

Hello! Some of you may remember AIF (Arch Installation Framework). However, the project is dead ([0]) and has been for quite some time. Being that most major distributions have a way of installing their distribution in an unattended manner/via PXE: -Debian (and derivatives, incl. Ubuntu): preseed -RHEL/CentOS/SuSE (and derivatives): kickstart (cobbler, etc.) I felt that Arch would benefit from something similar. As such, I have written AIF-NG[1]. It's written in python 3 and uses an XML-driven configuration (see the documentation[2] for details[3]). I would welcome feedback on this (preferably via my bugtracker[4] unless it happens to be discussion-oriented), as I'd like to get it mature enough to propose it for inclusion in the official Arch install media (currently for this to be supported, that would only require two things: the "python" and "aif" (or "aif-git") packages, which can be found on the AUR[5][6]).

I think the problem is lack of information about statuses of various projects. Users can't disticnt between something that is being worked on slowly because of lack of time of dev or technical difficulties and something totally forgotten. I think it would be helpful if features/isues discussed here have official tickets in Arch bugsystem where everyone could see current status with dev commentary and could ask questions. It doesn't need to be updated daily or weekly but we could point to it everyone who's interested instead of creating new topics here or on forum over and over.

[arch-general] Best practices for creating an Arch Docker image
by Giovanni Santini 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Good evening to everybody, I got interested in Docker lately and I've decided to create an ArchLinux image for it. There's one suggested from the ArchWiki (*base/archlinux*) but I wanted to learn from scratch. So, I've then some questions: 1. As the root filesystem, I've made a repacked version of the bootstrap tarball. Even though it is not so clean, it works and it is easy peasy to do. Should I go still for a `pacstrap`? 2. Theorically, one step of the Dockerfile should be installing the whole 'base' group, which includes also the kernel, which is not really needed in a container. So this questions splits up in 2 parts: - which packages I can ignore of the 'base' group? - which packages present in the bootstrap OS can be removed? This is because I think the Docker image should contain only the least number of packages of an Arch system; ideally, *pacman* and the needed core utils. 3. I'm having a GPGME error with the i686 tarball... Upgrading GPGME breaks pacman, upgrading pacman does the same. If someone is interested in helping me, I would be glad to share the Dockerfile. A first working code is here: https://github.com/ItachiSan/dockerfiles -- Giovanni Santini My blog: http://giovannisantini.tk My code: https://git{hub,lab}.com/ItachiSan My GPG: 2FADEBF5

Name doesn't matter. When it breaks with systemd then it will be stopped but that won't be in months. Paxd is avalaible and it always be assumed to maintain it by yourself. Also I see contradiction when you say many critical grsecurity features won't be avalaible in mainline kernels anytime soon and same time you say there is no sense to use last grsec kernel as long as we can. I'm not asking you to maintain it. There is a chance that gentoo|opensuse|debian guys step in to do it. In that case it will be beneficial to Arch having it avalaible in AUR.

You can set the MIDI driver to load at boot by creating the file /etc/modules-load.d/alsamidi.conf containing:" IIRC apart from a bug that caused that the driver wasn't loaded, the driver always gets loaded automatically. There are claims about rtc, 1000Hz. This was valid, but IMO should be obsolete now. Etc., pp. ... I don't want to rewrite the Wiki, especially because I won't and/or can't test every hint.

[arch-general] End of official PaX and grsecurity support in Arch Linux
by Daniel Micay 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

The PaX and grsecurity patches are no longer going to be public, so official support in Arch Linux has ended: https://grsecurity.net/passing_the_baton.php https://grsecurity.net/passing_the_baton_faq.php I'll be clearing out the AUR packages for PaX and grsecurity soon since the current 4.10 patches are not accessible. Providing out-of-date packages with known vulnerabilities and without the current set of mitigations is infringing on how they want their trademarks used. If people want to maintain forks, either a 4.9 LTS or porting it forward to newer kernels, they'll need to make a new project with a new name rather than using "PaX" or "grsecurity" as the naming. If it's serious and done by people that know what they're doing, official support for it can be considered. There are few people that are capable of truly taking over maintenance of the whole patches and I expect that they won't have time to do it. Don't be optimistic about this happening. There are no viable alternatives to PaX and grsecurity. Their focus is on kernel self-protection i.e. protecting the kernel from exploits, and we don't have anything for users to migrate to from these. There are plenty of alternatives to grsecurity RBAC but that's only a small portion of what the patches provide. Any form of access control (whether it's MAC, containers, uid/gid separation, ACLs, etc.) can be entirely bypassed with a single kernel exploit, so the only good way to use other MAC implementations like TOMOYO, AppArmor or SELinux was with grsecurity. We don't actually provide official support for any of these alternatives, but it's all little good without a hardened kernel anyway. A small subset of the kernel self-protection features have landed upstream as part of the Kernel Self Protection Project. The core/linux package doesn't enable the bulk of these features, and it probably doesn't make sense for it to turn everything on because a subset of them do have a significant performance cost. It would be possible to provide a linux-hardened package doing that but it would only offer a tiny portion of the kernel self-protection that grsecurity does. I may end up doing that, along with enabling support for all of the LSMs, etc. there but it's really not at all comparable to what has been lost. The LSMs are also little good without people working on providing userspace integration and policies for them. There are no good answers here. It would be possible to maintain a fork of grsecurity, especially if all kernel architectures other than x86_64 (and arm64, but it's not currently supported) were dropped along with grsecurity RBAC and anything that has a proper equivalent upstream. i386 and armv7 can still be supported as userspace archs, since dropping them as kernel archs is what would save most of the maintainance work and would eliminate a bunch of complex code only currently fully understood by the PaX and grsecurity authors. It might also make sense to start dropping support for old CPUs, beyond just only supporting 64-bit kernels. Intel Broadwell and later provide SMAP and there's also SMEP, so those could be used as substitutes for UDEREF and that portion of the KERNEXEC feature. The problem is that there aren't capable people with the time and willingness to dedicate a huge amount of their time to a volunteer project without pay. I already maintain/develop hardened Android LTS kernels as a significant but overall quite small part of CopperheadOS. It's not comparable to this because it's my job. I spend far more than 40 hours a week on CopperheadOS, and it's actually quite a relief to not need to worry about maintaining PaX and grsecurity for Arch Linux anymore especially since I had to do it on my own. I've been aware that the test patches becoming private was a very real possibility even before spender started talking about it on IRC weeks ago, so it's really not a surprise.

It would be great if you can provide linux-hardened kernel with everything what KSPP has enabled by default. Even in AUR so you won't have to rebuild it constantly and random stack option would have more sense. Two questions: 1\. Do you think maintaining 4.9 lts grsec kernel would be doable until it gets EOL from upstream? Are there many incompatible changes with minor kernel releases? I heard gentoo (maybe debian?) are considering this. 2\. Why hidepid was removed? I saw "lack of time" comment but...there wasn't much to maintain as it worked flawles for long time. Thank you for your great effort in maintaining grsec for all that years. I'm looking forward to being your customer (Copperhead) when it will be avalaible overseas :) On On Thu, Apr 27, 2017 at 08:17 PM, Daniel Micay via arch-general <arch- general(a)archlinux.org> wrote: > On Thu, 2017-04-27 at 19:12 +0000, Carsten Mattner wrote: > > Is CopperheadOS using grsec or something derived from it? > > It starts from the baseline provided by Google and ports features from > PaX and grsecurity as needed to the kernels.

[arch-general] arch-audit didn't survive the openssl upgrade to 1.1.0
by Ricardo Band 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

Ahoi, arch-audit in version 0.1.8-2 still looks for openssl 1.0.0: arch-audit: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory After installing openssl-1.0 it works again. I see 2 solutions here. Update arch-audit to use OpenSSL 1.1 or add openssl-1.0 as a dependency to arch-audit package. -- Greetings Ricardo Band https:// www.ricardo.band mailto:// email(a)ricardo.band
