[arch-general] Proposal: add "--disable-modern-top" to procps-ng configure flags
by Jonathon Fernyhough 10 Dec '17

10 Dec '17

# Background procps-ng [1] introduced a new default interface layout for `top` with version 3.3.10 which switched the "traditional" list display of processes ordered by CPU usage to a red text-based tree of processes ordered by PID (with root on 'systemd'). # Rationale The "modern" default interface: * requires user configuration to make usable; * uses low-contrast text; * is not consistent with other distros; * has caused confusion to Arch users [2]. This change would: * make `top` usable by default; * make `top` more accessible by default (high contrast text); * ease transition for new Arch users; * maintain consistency of a 'base' tool behaviour with other distros. # Precedent '--disable-modern-top' is used by Debian [3] and Fedora [4] (and hence all derivative distros). # Change See PKGBUILD attachment at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56639?getfile=15944 # Impact of change Default interface is reverted to "traditional" display. No effect on functionality or users with existing .toprc. Comparison screenshots are available on the Manjaro forum thread [5]. # Maintenance burden None beyond change to configure flag in PKGBUILD. # Links [1] https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps [2] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189757 [3] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/procps.git/tree/debian/rules#n… [4] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/procps-ng/blob/master/f/procps-ng.spec#_… [5] https://forum.manjaro.org/t/new-procps-ng-with-traditional-top-display/36119

[arch-general] Espeak in official repositories needs an overhaul
by Storm Dragon 09 Dec '17

09 Dec '17

Howdy, As far as I know, the original espeak project has been abandoned. I have heard the original developer passed away, but I can not confirm that one way or the other. The latest developments have been added under a fork of the project called Espeak-ng: https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng This new fork has a lot of improvements and pronounciation fixes. i wonder if it shouldn't be the one in the official repos now.

[arch-general] AUR and missing/unidentifiable GPG keys
by Jeanette C. 08 Dec '17

08 Dec '17

Hey hey, it has happened a couple of times now, that AUR packages' GPG keys can't be verified using aurget. Here's one example from installing the Linux realtime kernel: aurget -Sy linux-rt-bfq [copious output] patch-4.14.3-rt5.patch ... FAILED (unknown public key 4FE5E3262872E4CC) ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! aurget is up to date, as pulled from the Github repo. I know this can be circumvented by editing the pkgbuild file and removing the verification option, but that feels wrong. Is there a systematic way to update the relevant keys? As for other packages that did - or still do - suffer from this issue, there's certainly wine.

Hi, I know it's unlikely (TP link representitive said it's impossible) but is there any way I can add a printer that is connected to my Tp Link Touch P5 router?

Re: [arch-general] Can't install HP Printer driver (hplip)

AFAIK the package is already installed, the next step is to configure CUPS to use this printer. It's been a while for me, but I remember that it was very straightforward. You might want to check the ArchWiki for the details. Mvg, Guus Snijders

Is there a reason this should break now? Virtualbox 5.2 is currently not an option until a few bugs are fixed affecting the headless clients I run (e.g. https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17259) Is there a workaround that could define this constant, or was this inadvertently left out of the latest kernel? Let me know if a bug is needed, I'm happy to file it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
