Re: [arch-general] Microsoft Signature PC Requirements Now Blocks Linux Installation

This is insane! Apple set the precedent with smart phones, but now we have Trusted Computing Creep in desktops. Used are losing further control of their own devices. Ugh.

If that means that I could use this automation to make optimised builds for my Geode less of a hassle, I'm glad you guys are having this conversation. cheers! mar77i

[arch-general] Removing infinality
by Paul Marwick 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

A short while ago, I installed the infinality bundle and fonts as an experiment. Hit problems with some applications, so I'd like to revert to the standard font handing. But I'm having all sorts of problems doing so. My first attempt was this: fang@altair ~]$ sudo pacman -S --asdeps freetype2 cairo fontconfig lib32-fontconfig lib32-cairo ttf-ubuntu-font-family ttf-droid ttf-liberation ttf-dejavu resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... :: cairo and cairo-infinality-ultimate are in conflict. Remove cairo-infinality-ultimate? [y/N] y :: fontconfig and fontconfig-infinality-ultimate are in conflict. Remove fontconfig-infinality-ultimate? [y/N] y :: freetype2 and freetype2-infinality-ultimate are in conflict. Remove freetype2-infinality-ultimate? [y/N] y :: lib32-cairo and lib32-cairo-infinality-ultimate are in conflict. Remove lib32-cairo-infinality-ultimate? [y/N] y :: lib32-fontconfig and lib32-fontconfig-infinality-ultimate are in conflict. Remove lib32-fontconfig-infinality-ultimate?

Remove ttf-ubuntu-font-family-ib? [y/N] y error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ibfonts-meta-base: removing ttf-dejavu-ib breaks dependency 'ttf-dejavu-ib' :: ibfonts-meta-base: removing ttf-liberation-ib breaks dependency 'ttf-liberation-ib' :: ibfonts-meta-extended-lt: removing ttf-droid-ib breaks dependency 'ttf-droid-ib' :: ibfonts-meta-extended-lt: removing ttf-ubuntu-font-family-ib breaks dependency 'ttf-ubuntu-font-family-ib' :: lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate: removing freetype2-infinality-ultimate breaks dependency 'freetype2-infinality-ultimate I asked around, and had a suggestion that I should remove ibfonts-meta-base ibfonts-meta-extended-lt and lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate first. Tried that, and got this result: |fang@altair ~]$ sudo pacman -R ibfonts-meta-base ibfonts-meta-extended-lt lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ibfonts-meta-extended: removing ibfonts-meta-extended-lt breaks dependency 'ibfonts-meta-extended-lt' :: lib32-fontconfig-infinality-ultimate: removing lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate breaks dependency 'lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate' :: lib32-harfbuzz: removing lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate breaks dependency 'lib32-freetype2' So I'm stuck. I really need to get back to the standard font rendering, but so far I've been unable to find a way of getting past the conflicts. I really don't want to reinstall - this Arch install has been around for several years, and I'd much rather find a way of fixing it. Can anyone tell me how to get back to normal? Paul. |

Except you could just happen to have it backwards. The few non-sse2 32 bit cpus that run arch could be served their own specialised distribution, while a majority benefits from saving said few cpu cycles. cheers! mar77i

[arch-general] arch-audit: pkg-audit-like tool for Arch Linux
by Andrea Scarpino 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Hi everybody, I'm happy to announce my tiny project named arch-audit[1]. It parses the CVE wiki page[2] and reports which packages on your system are affected by a vulnerability and if a fixed version for that package is already available. Something like pkg-audit on FreeBSD, but not so powerful (yet!!!). I just made it and released, so it's more than alpha and your feedbacks are needed! I hope you find it useful.
