[arch-general] Apache Virtual Host Connection Refused Error
by Matt Schwartz 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hello list, I have a vexing problem with an Apache Virtual Host setup. In a nutshell, I have verified that apache is listening on port 80 and I have double checked my virtual host setup. Indeed, I can reach by IP address and the connection is logged under the virtual host. However, when I try to use the domain name, I get a connection refused error. The httpd.conf file is pretty much stock with the exception of uncommenting the userdir stuff and the vhosts line at the bottom. I pretty much followed the article on the wiki. I am leaning towards a DNS issue but my domain properly resolves to the correct IP address. The IP address is 149.28.50.65. What could I have missed? # /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster(a)goblackcat.com.com DocumentRoot "/home/user/public_html" ServerName "goblackcat.com" ServerAlias "www.goblackcat.com" ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/goblackcat.com-error_log" CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/goblackcat.com-access_log" common <Directory "/home/user/public_html"> Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost> #/etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost Thanks!

I have old clients in backoffice roles that still use it. I don't know if my shares are using SMB1 protocol, but I got python errors like in this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64537 Only real fix is to upgrade to samba 4.12.x. > >Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add > >client min protocol = NT1 >server min protocol = NT1 > >to the global section to restore workgroups and SMB1 No luck here: $ ls /etc/samba/ 14:03:08 private There is no /etc/smb.conf file. Archlinux needs to push Samba 4.12.x. Nothing less, nothing more. Pushing a 4 months old development version is weird. -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies(a)gmail.com

[arch-general] Brightness keys not working on laptop
by David Rosenstrauch 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

I can't seem to get the screen brightness up and down keys working on my laptop. (A new HP EliteBook x360 1030 G4.) Controlling the screen brightness programmatically does work. I.e., I'm able to set up mappings in my DE (XFCE) for specific key combos to call out to the "light" application and increase/decrease brightness that way. But the built-in brightness function keys (F3 and F4, without pressing fn) don't work at all. xev doesn't register any keypress when I hit those keys, and evtest always reports an unknown/wrong scan and key code: Event: time 1583360957.168127, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ Event: time 1583360959.602902, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 81 Event: time 1583360959.602902, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 465 (KEY_FN_ESC), value 1 I've been trying to debug this for several weeks now, but without success. I'm also pretty sure that I saw these keys working about 2 weeks ago. But although I've tried rolling back to versions of some key packages (e.g., kernel, libinput, and systemd) from that date range, I've not been able to get them working again. I've searched for bugs and forum posts on the issue, but haven't found anything that fixes it. I've also tried mucking with some of the suggestions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Map_scancodes_to_keycodes but no joy there either. I'd file a bug on this, but I have no idea which package is causing the issue. I'm fairly certain these hotkeys are controlled by the kernel hp_wmi module, and I do see some error message lines in dmesg about that: [ 5.683232] hp_wmi: query 0x4 returned error 0x5 [ 5.697112] hp_wmi: query 0x4 returned error 0x5 [ 5.704773] hp_wmi: query 0xd returned error 0x5 [ 5.730490] hp_wmi: query 0x1b returned error 0x5 But I'm not certain that those error messages are actually related to my issue, and googling on them didn't turn up anything of much relevance. Anyone have any suggestions/pointers on what might be broken here and/or how to fix? Thanks, DR

[arch-general] latest kernel update surprise
by Jude DaShiell 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

5.59-10 on the machine I use. I'm using a different version of linux on another disk to write this message. Strangely, both speaker-test and espeakup no longer work. The speaker-test failure would of course cover espeakup since espeakup uses sound card resources to do screen reading. Was anything done to the kernel to cause these failures? --

[arch-general] Pacman Database Signatures
by Christopher W. 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

Hi. The wiki states that database signatures for pacman are currently a work in progress. It's been that way for a long time, so I assume there is no "progress" happening. What is currently in the way of this much-needed security feature to be fully implemented? Right now, pacman is taking untrusted input from the internet as root. That's very bad. Most of the comments I've seen say that an attacker could hold back vulnerable packages, but this is assuming the attacker does not have bigger plans. The pacman tool is not immune to bugs in the way it parses the database files. It has no privilege separation in the download/parsing code as far as I can see (apt and others have had this for a long time) so it's really an even more dire situation. Pacman should not perform any operations as root until it has verified the signature of all files being used to install/upgrade the packages, but it currently does everything (downloading, verifying, etc) as root. I'd like to get a discussion going about how and when these two issues could be resolved so that all Arch users can be safer. Thanks.

[arch-general] (no subject)
by Robin Martijn 25 Mar '20

Currently, I am using linux 5.5.11.arch1-1. Since this version, I am unable to use my USB storage drives. Nothing shows up in dmesg when inserting the storage drive and also lsblk does not detect the drive. lsusb also does not detect the drive. I have rebooted my system after the kernel update, more than once actually, so I am sure that that is not the problem. Would anybody know what could potentially be the problem? Thanks in advance!

[arch-general] Python2-gimp - what functionality was lost?
by David C. Rankin 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

All, I updated gimp tonight and received: ( 6/19) upgrading gimp [######################################] 100% > The python2 plugin support is disabled, you will need to install this > separately if you need it, e.g. the python2-gimp package in the AUR. Looking at several bugs about python2 and gimp and it seem that gimp is not removing python2 during gimp 2.10: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1737933 Do we know what functionality was lost when we removed python2 support for it? I don't use it that often, but do use it fairly thoroughly when I do. From that standpoint, is there a list of what now isn't part of gimp without python2? That would help in knowing whether the AUR package is needed. Seems strange the AUR package was posted and orphaned on 2020-03-18? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Pulseaudio disabling auto-mute mode
by David Rosenstrauch 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

I'm not sure how/why (or when it started) but pulseaudio is disabling auto-mute mode on my laptop. Normally when you plug in headphones, speakers get muted. However, every time PA starts up, it disables that auto-mute feature. (I then have to go into alsamixer and manually re-enable it.) Not a huge issue, but definitely a nuisance. It's definitely PA that's responsible: if I enable auto-mute, then do "pulseaudio --kill", the setting immediately gets disabled. I've followed the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Auto-Mute_M… and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Disa… - i.e., change the setting to enabled, and then alsactl store. However, that's obviously having no impact, since pulseaudio later *overrides* the alsa setting when it starts up. Anyone else having similar issue? Or have any idea what the issue is / how to fix? (Or link to an open bug report?) Thanks, DR

[arch-general] Teo En Ming's Linux From Scratch (LFS) 20200302-systemd Bootable Live CD/DVD Kernel Panic
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Subject: Teo En Ming's Linux From Scratch (LFS) 20200302-systemd Bootable Live CD/DVD Kernel Panic Good day from Singapore to all Linux users, Recently, on 12 March 2020, I have successfully created my own custom Linux distribution which I affectionately call it Teo En Ming Linux. My custom Linux distribution is based on the most basic Linux From Scratch (LFS) 20200302-systemd book and Linux kernel 5.5.7. I am able to boot it successfully on my Toshiba 1 TB 3.5 inch SATA internal harddisk /dev/sdb2. After the initial success, I wanted to make a bootable Live CD/DVD of my Linux From Scratch system. I followed Jimmy Anderson's guide (which was written more than 7 years ago on 20 Jan 2013) and modified his guide in trying to make it work with LFS 20200302-systemd book. You may refer to the following guides on how I created a bootable Live CD/DVD of my Linux From Scratch system. Blog post #1: "How to create a Bootable Live CD/DVD from your Linux From Scratch (LFS) build" Link: https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.com/2020/03/how-to-create-bootable-live-cddvd-f… Blog post #2: "Patching Linux Kernel 5.5.7 to Add Support for AUFS Filesystem" Link: https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.com/2020/03/patching-linux-kernel-557-to-add.ht… When I booted up my bootable Live CD/DVD, I got a kernel panic. Looking at the following screenshot, it seems that my 64-bit Live CD booted in 32-bit mode. Screenshot: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P_EcnlhuDIQ/XnDso3sjNZI/AAAAAAAAAqw/qa5EZoHQQa8W… Notice the "trampoline_32bit" and "booted via startup_32()" lines on the above screenshot. The following screenshot illustrates the kernel panic. Screenshot: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uSNEk19fG7s/XnDtZf-80_I/AAAAAAAAAq4/Q-GAHKnWe_IS… My guess is that my 64-bit Live CD booted up in 32-bit mode, and when it tried to execute /sbin/init (symlink to systemd binary) after mounting the squashfs root file system, which is 64-bit, it resulted in a kernel panic. What I am trying to say is that the 64-bit Linux kernel on the Live CD boots up in 32-bit mode (my guess), and then tried to execute purely 64-bit binaries, which results in a kernel panic. Please advise me on how I can resolve this issue and produce a working Live CD of my LFS system without kernel panic.
