[arch-general] Eduroam madness with iwd
by Riccardo Paolo Bestetti 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Hi! I'm trying to configure iwd to connect to Eduroam. My home istitution requires EAP-TTLS authentication with PAP Phase 2. I have the following configuration file: [Security] EAP-Method=TTLS EAP-TTLS-CACert=/home/random/.cat_installer/ca.pem EAP-TTLS-ServerDomainMask=*.unipmn.it EAP-TTLS-Phase2-Method=Tunneled-PAP EAP-TTLS-Phase2-Identity=theUser EAP-TTLS-Phase2-Password=thePassword [Settings] AutoConnect=true When I try to connect with iwd started as a systemd unit, I get the following error in iwctl: Not configured. And the following error in the system journal: failed to load /home/random/.cat_installer/ca.pem (the certificate is valid and is in the required PEM format - I checked it with the openssl command and it also works with different network daemons) When I try to connect with iwd started manually with /usr/lib/iwd/iwd -d, I get the following error instead: Operation failed. And idw outputs: 4-Way handshake failed for ifindex: 3, reason: 23. I ran out of debugging ideas! Can anyone help? - Riccardo

[arch-general] Getting 404 errors while trying to install arch on a fresh system. Any rreason why?
by ilovecountrymusic483＠gmail.com 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Hi all, Using the tarch iso from www.tarch.info <http://www.tarch.info> , I am unable to install to a fresh system. During the download of packages, I get unable to retreave packages the requested URL returned error code 404. I eventually I am given the message "Envalide or corrupted package." Any ideas on why this is happens? I tried the latest tarch image from October, but the image gives me no internet connection. My internection is fine. I have updated the gpg keys, but the same thing hppens. I am guessing that I am getting partial downloads of some packages. Any one seeing this with the standered arch iso? I am a blind user of linux so can not use the standard iso to test. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreaseated. I did some searching but came up empty. Thanks. Matthew

[arch-general] [mkinitpcio] running as non-root creates non-root files in the cpio
by Damjan Georgievski 20 Jan '20

20 Jan '20

I've already opened a bug issue, and supplied a patch at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65006 but except from the first comment by dreisner, there's not much activity. Is it ok if I escalate here? :) Alternatively, is there a better place for reporting mkinitpcio issues, and sending patches? -- damjan

If you want/need the array to be assembled in early user space, then use the mdadm_udev hook as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio#Using_RAID. This is typically needed when booting a system on software RAID.

[arch-general] systemd-zram generator
by Chris Murphy 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Hi, swap-create@.service generator for zram devices https://github.com/systemd/zram-generator zram: Compressed RAM based block devices https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/blockdev/zram.txt The gist is, if a configuration file exists, a /dev/zram0 device is created during early boot and marks it for use by swap.target; so all the existing systemd stuff to mkswap and swapon gets used. The nice thing is, very low overhead. RAM is not reserved for the device, it's only consumed as needed. The generator could be installed by default, but without a configuration file. In that case, it doesn't create a swap on zram device, unless the user creates a configuration file. And at some point, the distribution can decide to include a configuration file by default. I'm thinking a useful yet conservative default would be to create a device up to 1:1 with RAM, capping out around 2G-4G. That way small RAM devices, like Pi's, get a pretty big zram device. And large RAM devices just have a smallish swap for incidental usage. One issue (reported upstream in github) is getting priority supported. I don't know whether it needs to be configurable, from the config file. But it seems sane to have the generator set a high priority, so that the zram device is used first, spilling over to a conventional swap if the user creates ones. This is a project in rust. And I think once some of the issues get worked out, it would be great if distributions can converge on this implementation. Thanks, -- Chris Murphy

Hi i have just configured my 4 disk raid 10 array with mdadm the filesystem is ext4 unencrypted and arch is installed on a separate disk do i need to reconfigure mkinitcpio.conf for my md array so that the array is assembled and started at boot, all the examples i've seen have arch installed on the raid array including the example in the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RAID i have not reboot the new array yet so i would like to make sure everything necessary is configure before i do that. shadrock
