[arch-general] steam-native can't find libpcre.so.3, breaks embedded browser
by Alexandre Oliveira 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

It seems like the steam-native package is broken as of March 21, according to this bug report[1]. Installing libselinux and pcre seems to fix the issue. I don't know if it's a good idea to write about it here, but I'd like to get this patch mainstreamed, instead of having to install another package to workaround this bug.

[arch-general] PAM complains about "expired account"
by Farid A 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hi, I set up two-key authentication for SSH on my desktop through pam_oauth.so It used to work perfectly when connecting from my laptop, until recently it suddenly stopped. The logs indiacte the following error: |mars 21 14:11:22 arch sshd[26209]: error: PAM: User account has expired for username from 192.168.0.254| Wherearch is the hostname, and username is my username. My account is not expired, here is the output of chage -l: |Last password change : mars 21, 2019 Password expires : never Password inactive : never Account expires : never Minimum number of days between password change : 0 Maximum number of days between password change : 99999 Number of days of warning before password expires : 7 | |I have no idea what this could be, is there a PAM-internal expiration concept? Reddit could not offer any help... Thanks in advance for any help! | || ||

[arch-general] Dbeaver is ready to leave community-testing
by Farid A 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Hi, I was told this mailing list was the best to discuss community-testing packages. I've downloaded dbeaver-6.0.0.1 from the repo, and can confirm the package is entirely function (I tried most drivers and functionalities). Moreover, the version currently available on community is rather outdated. Thanks for your time, Farid

[arch-general] kernel compilation
by Pascal 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

hello members, I'm not used to compiling and therefore even less to compiling the kernel.... I followed the instructions given by this page <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel/Arch_Build_System>. after compilation, if I modify/patch file src/linux-4.19/block/blk-core.c, do I have to replace the kernel ? the kernel and all its modules ? or just the module concerned by the change (if it concerns a module) ? regards, lacsaP.

[arch-general] mutagen
by frederik＠ofb.net 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hello Arch, Does anyone know why all the executables in "mutagen" suddenly developed a numeral "2" at the end of their names? I would have preferred the names to stay the same for the sake of backwards compatibility. I checked with "asp checkout python2-mutagen", as I learned to do recently, and I saw that the renaming seems to be due to the following lines in the PKGBUILD for script in {mid3{cp,iconv,v2},moggsplit,mutagen-{inspect,pony}}; do sed -e "s/${script}/${script}2/g" -i setup.py sed -e 's/python/&2/' -i "tools/${script}" mv -v "tools/${script}"{,2} mv -v "man/${script}"{,2}.1 done but there is no comment in the PKGBUILD, and I could not find any note in the Git log explaining the addition of those lines... Thanks, Frederick

[arch-general] Arch Linux USB stick won't boot
by steve＠vwebr.net 23 Mar '19

23 Mar '19

Hello everyone, I tried installing archlinux-2019.03.01-x86_64.iso onto my Intel Compute Stick STCK1A8LFC, but got this at the very beginning when I tried booting a USB stick created by Rufus. https://imgur.com/a/nEjA248 <-- See picture at this link I did not experience the lack of booting the USB stick with any other distros I tried (about 6-7 others). They all booted fine and were created in Rufus the same way. BIOS setting is the same as others as well...UEFI shell disabled (that is a must), USB boot enabled, and Secure Boot disabled. There is no Legacy Boot/CSM option. Stuck on UEFI. See picture attached for what happens when I try to boot from the USB stick I created. Particulars... Hardware: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/86613/intel-compute-st… Screenshot of creation of Rufus USB stick (exact same method as others I did which all booted fine): https://imgur.com/a/AB11PSP <-- See picture at this link Thanks for any help you can provide.

[arch-general] Why has all reference to RAID setup been removed from Install page?
by David C. Rankin 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Over the past few years the Beginner's Guide has been removed and our Install wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide) has been whittled down to a mere outline. After the thread "Arch Linux USB stick won't boot", I decided to check the Install page to see if there were any relevant links that should have helped with that problem. Surprisingly there was nothing. There is no "Troubleshooting" section at all. Looking closer, now all links to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RAID#Installing_Arch_Linux_on_RAID are also removed which must be done between partitioning and formatting to install Arch to RAID. Shouldn't there be a note/link at the end of the the "Partition the disks" section "For installing Arch Linux on RAID"? It seems a quite a bit of "good" is gone from the Install guide. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
