[arch-general] Is sftp_kio broken in latest Plasma updates?
by David C. Rankin 16 Jun '18

16 Jun '18

Can someone confirm whether the sftp_kio (used, e.g. in the file-open or file-save dialog in kate/kwrite to open/save files to a remote server) is working as of the latest Plasma updates? When I attempt to connect to my local server (tried both LAN and WAN connections), I get the error dialog: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The host key for this server was not found, but another type of key exists. An attacker might change the default server key to confuse your client into thinking the key does not exist. Please contact your system administrator. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have tried saving via the hosts in my QuickList (on the left side of the file-save dialog) and by manually entering sftp://host/path/to/file and the error is the same each time. I can ssh and sftp from konsole to all the host without any problem. If this is confirmed, should this bug be filed with arch or upstream? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] plasma-vault hard depends on networkmanager
by Jagannathan Tiruvallur Eachambadi 15 Jun '18

15 Jun '18

Hey plasma-vault seems to be using networkmanager to detect connectivity for a feature in plasma-vault that disables internet upon opening certain vaults. Although this feature can be useful, not everyone uses networkmanager and it already caused an issue when I rebooted after installing updates. networkmanager seems to be enabled by default and conflicted with my current setup. I tried to build plasma-vault without networkmanager-qt but it failed. For now I am removing plasma-vault but can this be considered a bug since plasma-workspace by itself doesn't need networkmanager but it is only a optional dependency. -- Regards Jagan

[arch-general] xdm killed after 90 seconds
by Fons Adriaensen 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hello all, I've got a strange problem on a newly installed system. About 90 seconds after it is started, xdm (or xdm-archlinux) and any login session is killed. Apparently by systemd, because of a timeout. What's happening here ? TIA, -- FA

13 Jun '18

Hello, The class Python for Beginners - Part 1 will be held on Wednesday, October 04, 2017 at 16:00 UTC in the channel #archlinux-classroom on the freenode network. The class is expected to run for about 2 hours. This class will introduce you to programming with Python and how to use IPython with an editor/IDE. Commonly used built-in functions and libraries will be explained. Other topics will explored based on participant interests. The class will be screen-shared live (via YouTube), and later archived with subtitles. Questions and some discussion on IRC is expected, however the main part will be video and audio. In preparation for the class, install the Jupyter notebook. ``pacman -S jupyter`` or, in a Python 3 virtualenv, ``pip3 install jupyter``. Also check out the python-beginners git repository on Arch Classroom's GitHub[1] where you will find IPython notebooks and links to useful resources on learning Python: https://github.com/archclassroom/python-beginners pulec is an Arch Linux user since 2012, gamer and gardener. He makes a living using Linux and Python since 2013 and recently joined Red Hat. He hopes to spread IT knowledge and open source ideas to the general populace. Some code - https://github.com/Pulecz

[arch-general] Alternating colors in thunar?
by Peter Nabbefeld 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Hello, I was used to see every second line in Thunar having a grey background - after updating, this has gone, every line now has white background. BTW, after some searching, it seems to be a GTK problem, probably not specific to Thunar. I'd guess, I haven't found the correct config, yet. How can I get the alternating background colors back? Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] Upgrading mlocate: /var/lib/mlocate/ Permissions Warning.

Hi, This morning's `pacman -Su' encountered (10/13) upgrading mlocate [######################] 100% warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/mlocate/ filesystem: 750 package: 755 (11/13) upgrading xkeyboard-config [######################] 100% when upgrading from version 0.26-6 to 0.26.git.20170220-1.

[arch-general] sshd - limiting sequential no. or files opened via sftp in kate?
by David C. Rankin 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

All, Not sure where to look for this. I have always kept kate projects different things like, different application development, different web-site editing, etc... Many of the projects I keep on my Arch server and have kate open the files via the sftp kioslave (or whatever it is called now) For some reason, now when I open remote projects on the server, the first 15 or so files open without issue. Anything over that fails with a connection error and the files are opened as "Untitled" and are empty (simply pressing "Reload" completes the opening without issue), but that has to occur after kate is open, and not when the project is attempting to load the files sequentially all at once. The journal shows no error, just the normal sshd key authorization, etc. as session through (c17) are opened, e.g. Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9269]: Accepted publickey for david from 192.168.6.104 port 56170 ssh2: ECDSA SHA256:97TPKWvaGks+sjneobeoY9RpK1Hznnh8xJCjbcAWrkQ Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9268]: Accepted publickey for david from 192.168.6.104 port 56168 ssh2: ECDSA SHA256:97TPKWvaGks+sjneobeoY9RpK1Hznnh8xJCjbcAWrkQ Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9269]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user david by (uid=0) Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9268]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user david by (uid=0) Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie systemd-logind[539]: New session c5 of user david.

Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie systemd[1]: Started Session c6 of user david. Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9274]: userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-dss not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes [preauth] Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9275]: userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-dss not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes [preauth] Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9272]: userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-dss not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes [preauth] Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9274]: Accepted publickey for david from 192.168.6.104 port 56174 ssh2: ECDSA SHA256:97TPKWvaGks+sjneobeoY9RpK1Hznnh8xJCjbcAWrkQ Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9274]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user david by (uid=0) Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie systemd-logind[539]: New session c7 of user david. Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie systemd[1]: Started Session c7 of user david. ... I don't see any failures at all in the logs, which I would expect given the connection failure. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I don't any longer, but there were times in the past I would have 120 files in a project and had no problems at all opening the project either across the LAN or remotes via the internet on my office server. So this seems like it is some protection designed to prevent hackers from hammering your server with ssh requests -- but it seems like it is having the side effect of preventing me from loading projects with more than say 20 files via sftp. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
