Good luck... With testisk os posible recovery original files without encrypt?

[arch-general] python-txaio
by Storm Dragon 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Howdy, I noticed that python-txaio was marked out of date last month. The older version is now causing another package, python-autobahn, to not function. I was able to fix this for myself just by installing from abs. I worry though, that newbies may not know how to fix this issue for themselves. So, if someone has time, can you please update to version 2.7.0? Thanks Storm -- Powered by Arch Linux!

[arch-general] archlinux ext4 recovery file versioning
by Maykel Franco 17 Apr '17

Hi, I have a server in archlinux with samba. I have windows client in my house with mapped folder but a Trojan has entered and encrypted all files included server archlinux... Archlinux has formated with ext4. Would it be possible to recover unencrypted files?

Sounds like reasonable behaviour to me, but I guess it's not what you want. The simple answer would be: try to find out what happens during suspend/wakeup. There's probably something that informs gpg-agent to "forget" the password. Mvg, Guus Snijders

[arch-general] Is screen safe when it has setsuid?
by Iru Cai 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

Hello, I saw that the permission of screen is -rwsr-xr-x, which means when screen is run, it's run as root at the beginning. I don't know if it can be a security issue. I also checked the screen program in Debian. It uses setguid as a non-root group. -rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp ... /usr/bin/screen Iru -- Please do not send me Microsoft Office/Apple iWork documents.

I am facing the same issue.. once i upgraded my arch system. On 16-Mar-2017 1:31 PM, "Karol Babioch" <karol(a)babioch.de> wrote: Hi, since a while my GPG agent is asking for a passphrase, once my laptop has been suspended. This hasn't been the case beforehand. I'm pretty sure this is happening since the last update of the gpg package a few days ago, but I'm no entirely sure, since I've updated a whole bunch of packages in this timeframe. My gpg-agent.conf contains the following: > default-cache-ttl 86400 > max-cache-ttl 2592000 > default-cache-ttl-ssh 86400 > max-cache-ttl-ssh 2592000 This worked before, and in makes much more sense in my environment than to flush the cache with every suspend. I couldn't find anything in GnuPG's changelog, so maybe it is also some new GNOME, systemd, etc. feature. Has anyone of you also noticed this and maybe even figured it out already?

[arch-general] Why is /lib/libncurses.so a linker script?

I'm just curious what the reason is. Oh, and yes, it does cause some problems: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/53598 /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus The greatest performance improvement of all is when a system goes from not-working to working. — John Ousterhout

[arch-general] Archnosh - the nosh toolset packaged for Archlinux
by Thomas Caravia 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hello, The archnosh repository[1] provides the build files necessary to integrate the nosh[2] system and service manager with Archlinux package management, as of version 1.33[3]. The nosh toolset is part of the daemontools family of managers, several of which are already packaged[4] for Archlinux: runit, s6, daemontools, perp... The packages generated via archnosh follow the Debian packaging[5] provided by the author of nosh and allow for two major setups: 1. Running the nosh service manager under systemd Here systemd remains the default system and service manager but migrating a service to nosh supervision is just a matter of disabling it from systemd and enabling its equivalent with nosh. 2. Running nosh as both system and service manager This is a fully nosh-managed system, the nosh system manager runs as init. Various packages provide simple utilities which may be of interest in themselves, in particular the eponymous nosh script processor. The nosh toolset has currently been tested for the x86_64 architecture on qemu/kvm virtual machines and non-virtualised on a laptop with minimal installs of early 2017 Archlinux releases. Although further testing is of course ongoing, obtaining a useful working system is made relatively easy by the comprehensive collection of service bundles --the native service configuration and control mechanism-- packaged with the toolset. Pointers for installing on Archlinux are available in the repository README. A guide[6] is available for further information about nosh. The latest repository archive is available here: https://framagit.org/taca/archnosh/repository/archive.tar.gz?ref=v1.33-1 It follows the Arch packaging standards as much as possible but can no doubt be improved.
