Please disregard message. It turns out after I added my user to the audio group I forgot to reboot the system. Now the system has been rebooted, alsa works as expected. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Question regarding the inclusion of plasma 6 alpha in kde-unstable
by Yifan Zhu 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

Hi, Recently I noticed that the kde-unstable official repository started to include some packages from plasma 6 alpha (https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&repo=KDE-Unstable&q=&maintainer=&flag…). However, currently the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official_repositories#kde-unstable) states that > This repository contains the latest /beta/ or /Release Candidate/ of KDE <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE> Plasma and Applications. So this inclusion of alpha packages might be a bit unexpected to users. Should the wiki be modified to reflect the fact that it might also include alpha versions of packages? I do not want to make that change before making sure that I am not misrepresenting the ``official'' policy, or the agreed upon policy by the community. Thanks for all the hard work! Best, Yifan

incomplete alsa installation
by Jude DaShiell 17 Nov '23

If I run mpv --really-quiet followed by a file name I get an error: ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:2180:(_snd_pcm_direct_new) unable to create IPC semaphore This happens with jack2 or jack-pipewire installed. The user is in the audio group but beyond this, I don't know how to solve this problem. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Can't connect to a 5GHz WiFi network
by Sadeep Madurange 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

Greeting everyone, Since this Tuesday, my Arch machine, a ThinkPad T490, can't connect to a specific 5GHz WiFi network called gcat. The network is working fine because my work laptop, a ThinkPad X1 also running Arch, and my Android phone both connect to gcat just fine. Also, I can connect to a 2.4GHz network from the same access point. I don't think this is a problem with 5GHz networks. When I create a 5GHz hotspot with my mobile phone, this machine connects to it successfully. Initially, I couldn't see gcat in wifi-menu. So, I deleted the netctl profile for gcat and restarted the machine, after which I saw gcat again in wifi-menu. When I enter the password, wifi-menu tells me that it failed to connect to gcat. The netctl profile: Description='Automatically generated profile by wifi-menu' Interface=wlp0s20f3 Connection=wireless Security=wpa ESSID=gcat IP=dhcp Key=*** Following is the output of dmesg | grep iwlwifi: [ 9.081448] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 9.090125] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected crf-id 0x3617, cnv-id 0x20000302 wfpm id 0x80000000 [ 9.090148] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: PCI dev 02f0/0074, rev=0x351, rfid=0x10a100 [ 9.104916] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: api flags index 2 larger than supported by driver [ 9.104934] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: TLV_FW_FSEQ_VERSION: FSEQ Version: 89.3.35.37 [ 9.105939] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: loaded firmware version 77.bd067429.0 QuZ-a0-hr-b0-77.ucode op_mode iwlmvm [ 9.754739] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz, REV=0x351 [ 9.877459] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected RF HR B3, rfid=0x10a100 [ 9.943639] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: base HW address: d8:3b:bf:b5:ea:b9 [ 9.965714] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3 wlp0s20f3: renamed from wlan0 [ 51.059576] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Registered PHC clock: iwlwifi-PTP, with index: 1 Following is the result of journalctl | grep gcat: Nov 16 09:21:28 asciimx network[544]: Profile 'wlp0s20f3-gcat' does not exist or is not readable Nov 16 09:21:28 asciimx systemd[1]: netctl(a)wlp0s20f3\x2dgcat.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Nov 16 09:21:28 asciimx systemd[1]: netctl(a)wlp0s20f3\x2dgcat.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

"xrefactory" AUR-package submission request to "extra" repository
by Sergei Litvin 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

Good afternoon, I propose to add the following AUR-package, which I currently maintain, to the “extra” repository: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xrefactory It is a code browser tool, similar to the following tools, but more precise because it works on grammar level: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/cscope/ https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ctags/ https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/global/ The "upstream" is no longer maintained, but I have learned the internals and have already made about 30 patches. So, I can fix possible bugs, including parsing C, YACC and Java grammar. This tool could be useful for Linux kernel developers (personally I use it along with cscope). And perhaps if it was in the "extra" repository, it could increase user interest in it. Best regards, Sergei Litvin Tel: +49 176 85283820

pacman via pacstrap
by lacsaP Patatetom 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

hi, I use `pacstrap -U` to install locally forged packages in a dedicated folder. this dedicated folder already contains some files and some of these files are causing problems for `pacstrap -U` (eg. `pacman -U`). i'd like to be able to use `--overwrite` option and pass it from `pacstrap`. is it possible to pass options to `pacman` via `pacstrap` ? regards, lacsaP.

One issue I've had with gitlab is even though it has correct user name and password, it will not login and I've had to use Github credentials to login to the arch gitlab system. (which I do not like) This is after going through successfully adding new SSH key to my account, successfully changing the password for my account, e.g. <quote - updated 9/17/23> Hello, David C. Rankin! The password for your GitLab account on https://gitlab.archlinux.org has successfully been changed. </quote> But it does not work. Every time login fails at: https://accounts.archlinux.org/realms/archlinux/login-actions/authenticate Neither the username 'drankinatty' or the e-mail works. So as Bugtracker is migrated, there may need to be a fix or two for the gitlab logins to work. I still can't login. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

btrfs advice needed
by Jude DaShiell 12 Nov '23

12 Nov '23

I've got a corrupted btrfs partition. Does the archlinux install disk have btrfsck on it? If yes, I'll probably need to run btrfs --repair /dev/sda2 on the system. If repair goes badly, I'll have to reinstall the system. I would like to know how to prevent btrfs corruption in the first place. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Re: Anticipation - Any idea when linux 6.6 will emerge from core-testing? (fwd)
by Erich Eckner 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Hi David, not answering your question, but: What speaks against testing with the linux package in core-testing? IIRC, the linux package was one of the packages, that could be up- and down-graded quite independently of all the other packages. regards, Erich On Tue, 7 Nov 2023, David C.
