[arch-general] AppArmor support
by Gus 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

I know such request was rejected here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59733 recently, but still AppArmor doesn't need linking with libraries and doesn't require as much userland support as SELinux, so it will not hurt to have one option enabled in kernel, right?

[arch-general] Owncloud client compatibility with Nextcloud server
by Óscar García Amor 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Hi people! Today I updated my owncloud-client package to latest version (2.5.0.10650-1) and now I have the following message: "The server version 14.0.0-Nexcloud is unsupported! Proceed at your own risk." Seems that the owncloud-client only will have support to owncloud-server. Since in Archlinux the owncloud-server was replaced by nextcloud-server, maybe is time to drop owncloud-client and replace with nextcloud-client? What do you think? Greetings. -- Óscar García Amor | ogarcia at moire.org | http://ogarcia.me

[arch-general] sendfax: 460 Failed to submit job 110: Unable to open scheduler FIFO: No such device or address.
by David C. Rankin 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

All, After recent updates, hylafax/sendfax fails with the error: sendfax: 460 Failed to submit job 110: Unable to open scheduler FIFO: No such device or address. it had been working find up until the last week or two. Reverting to the LTS kernel resolves the issue. There are no obvious errors in the journal. Does anyone know why sendfax would begin failing with "Unable to open scheduler FIFO: No such device or address." with the current kernel, but work fine on LTS? (I have confirmed this behavior on two separate Arch servers) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] rtlwifi
by Frank Zimmermann 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

Good afternoon, my log is flooded with these messages: Sep 26 09:09:45 defiant kernel: rtl8192se: switch case 0x5e not processed Sep 26 09:09:54 defiant kernel: rtlwifi: AP off, try to reconnect now Approx everey 10 sec there's a new entry. My wifi connection is quite buggy even when close to the router, so am not sure if that might be a reason. My favourite search engine came up with some links suggesting that these module options will help: options rtl8192se fwlps=0 ips=0 swlps=0 swenc=1 However, I do not see any difference with them. any ideas how to get around this?

[arch-general] [News] DigitalOcean "supporting" Arch Linux
by Eduardo Machado 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

Hi folks, Firstly, i am not a digitalocean affiliated, but i use their services. A long time ago, Arch Linux was one the supported OSes, latter they dropped this support. Now, although it is not officially supported again they just launched the ability to upload Custom Images into DigitalOcean. You can now import the OS of your choice directly into DigitalOcean and start a Droplet. [1] [1] https://blog.digitalocean.com/custom-images/ --- Eduardo M. Machado

[arch-general] vsftpd only works without seccomp
by L. Rose 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

Hi, I've been using vsftpd successfully with implicit SSL several months ago. Now I wanted to use it again (same config file), but it didn't work, clients reported SSL errors. Adding `seccomp_sandbox=NO` to my /etc/vsftpd.conf fixes the error. But I don't want to disable seccomp sandboxing. Any ideas? Regards, L. Rose

[arch-general] Starting 9/15 new error - stat of /var/log/clamav/clamd.log failed
by David C. Rankin 22 Sep '18

22 Sep '18

Archdevs, Is this a new bug or config issue? Beginning 9/15, I receive a new cron error: error: stat of /var/log/clamav/clamd.log failed: No such file or directory But the file is there: $ l /var/log/clamav/clamd.log -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 0 Aug 30 2015 /var/log/clamav/clamd.log The wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ClamAV doesn't mention the issue, so is this a bug? If so, upstream or here? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

It has nothing to do with Arch Linux.

[arch-general] BIND, systemd-resolved, and nscd
by frederik＠ofb.net 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Hello Arch General, I hope this is the right mailing list; I'm a new subscriber. After a recent upgrade I found that DNS broke in two different ways on my computer, 1. BIND enabled DNSSEC by default, causing hostname resolution to stop working (for some reason my home wireless router broke the "trust chain", which I know nothing about) https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01636/81/BIND-9.13.2-Release-Notes.html The default setting for dnssec-validation is now auto, which activates DNSSEC validation using the IANA root key. I had to add "dnssec-validation yes;" to /etc/named.conf. I have a forwarding BIND configuration so that Spamassassin's DNSBL queries can be handled specially. 2. There is a bug relating to systemd-resolved and nscd. It is also related to a decision made by systemd-resolved maintainers to never use DNS to resolve single-label hostnames: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2514 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23546 This was very confusing to me because I had assumed that my computers were still using DNS to find each other via my router, as I had not changed anything related to that configuration. While trying to debug these problems, I remember checking the "Arch Linux - News" page (https://www.archlinux.org/news/) but I didn't find anything relevant there. I wonder it makes sense to expect that changes which break hostname resolution on home networks, or which may require reconfiguration on common setups to maintain existing functionality, should be announced on this page. I would be in favor of that but I don't know how I would phrase the announcement. For what it's worth, I was not able to find help with these problems on #archlinux or the BBS or superuser.com. Any thoughts? Best wishes, Frederick
