The package "ca-certifcates" is a virtual package that provided by "ca-certificates-utils" too, so you can simply remove ca-certificates-cacert together with ca-certificates. -- Regards, Felix Yan

Having seen that the dhcp server package has been orphaned yesterday, hopefully this will be picked up and maintained as it is a pretty important standard package for a server. -- mike c

[arch-general] Remove ca-certificate-cacert dependencies
by Niklaus Schiess 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Hi, the ca-certificates package depends on ca-certificates-cacert, which in my opinion should not be the case. What seems to be the proper way to remove CAcert certificates from the trust store? Just remove the certs with `trust anchor`, or pacman -Rdd ca-certificates-cacert? Both seem to be temporary fixes. I suggest the CAcert certificates should be removed or at least the ca-certificates package should not depend on them. Regards, Niklaus -- PGP FP: CB84 8C68 ADDB 6C50 7DF1 4227 F2A6 056A A799 76DA

[arch-general] systemd-networkd 226 in virtual machines
by Damjan Georgievski 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

in 226, systemd-networkd now supports predictable interface names for virtio devices.[1] For people running Arch in KVM with virtio-net (as I do), that means the network interface name will change from eth0 to - in my case - ens5. That, for me also meant no ip address after reboot. Make sure to set [Match]Name=en* or some such before rebooting.

[arch-general] Any ETA on the Tex Live 2015 update?
by Mohammad_AlSaleh 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hello. Tex Live 2015 was released on June 11. The Arch packages were flagged out-of-date on June 13. I'm wondering if there is any reason for the hold-up. Other than the maintainers(s) being busy of course.

[arch-general] ca-certificates update
by mick 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

After re-installing in july I'm having problems with certificates and was pointed to https://www.archlinux.org/news/ca-certificates-update/ ca-certificates update 2014-12-11 - Jan Steffens The way local CA certificates are handled has changed. If you have added any locally trusted certificates: 1 Move /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/*.crt to /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/ 2 Do the same with all manually-added /etc/ssl/certs/*.pem files and rename them to *.crt 3 Instead of update-ca-certificates, run trust extract-compat Also see man 8 update-ca-trust and trust --help. when I tried step 2: move /etc/ssl/certs/*.pem to /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/ and rename them to *.crt I found 1 the mv command seems to have lost the ablity to rename files as they are moved. 2 moving or copying the *.pem file results in adirectory full of broken links. I think the solution might be to create symlinks to the real files, located at /etc/ca-certificates/extracted/cadir instead of linking to link to the files but before I try that I want to be sure I wont break anything. mick

[arch-general] Strange mdadm fail to activate root raid1 array - resulting in loss of libraries and pacman data?
by David C. Rankin 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

All, I saw TB's patch posts to the kernel-raid mailing list. I believe I experienced the same systemd-mdadm error which resulted in ~440 libraries being left as 0-byte files and pacman losing all reference to what files where owned by what packages. In my case dmesg showed the system never made any attempt to activate sda7 as part of the root array (md1) on boot. Following a --fail, --remove and --add to re-add sda7 worked as advertised. However, on next reboot, grub was found and launched the kernel, only to have the system crash due to /usr/lib/libkmod.so "file too short" (0-byte). Attempting to re-install the kernel to attempt to address the issue resulted in: [2015-08-31 15:58] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> WARNING: No modules were added to the image. This is probably not what you want.

E.g. # pacman -Ql unixodbc # (showed no files) all of this occurred with mdadm 3.3.2-2, which is still the current package. TB's original post at the kernel raid list regarding the patch is: [PATCH 0/2] mdadm: Fix udev rule interaction with systemd, http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg49678.html The explanation of the losses on my system posted to the list are: Re-add of raid1 drive resulted in strange loss of data on Archlinux? http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg49704.html Are these the symptoms (or related symptoms) that the TB's patch is intended to address? This has only occurred once since the current mdadm was installed back on 2015-05-26. What is the recommended work-around until a fix is in place? (validate all arrays with /proc/mdstat) But then how to handle a degraded boot? I did --fail, --remove --add, and ended up with a mess. Is there some other suggested way to handle this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] GA-990FX - on boot I get IO_PAGE_FAULT & AMD-Vi: Event logged??
by David C. Rankin 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

All, Installed arch on a new gigabyte GA-990FX-UD3 board with a AMD FX-8350. This is the board I had to enable IOMMU in the BIOS to get the Realtek 8111/8168/8411 onboard NIC to work. Ever since enabling IOMMU, I get kernel messages regarding Page_Faults and AMD Vi Events. Enabling the kernel parameter amd_iommu=on seems to have stopped some of the xhci-hcd messages printed to the screen, but they are still in dmesg. I need to know if anyone has seen this and if there is a fix. Everything works fine after it boots, but it is horrible looking at the errors on boot. Specifically, here is what is logged: [ 1.663291] ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller (EHCI) Driver [ 1.663401] ehci-pci: EHCI PCI platform driver [ 1.663545] QUIRK: Enable AMD PLL fix [ 1.663575] ehci-pci 0000:00:12.2: EHCI Host Controller [ 1.663581] ehci-pci 0000:00:12.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 [ 1.663586] ehci-pci 0000:00:12.2: applying AMD SB700/SB800/Hudson-2/3 EHCI dummy qh workaround [ 1.663596] ehci-pci 0000:00:12.2: debug port 1 [ 1.663634] ehci-pci 0000:00:12.2: irq 17, io mem 0xfe509000 [ 1.663730] ohci_hcd: USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver [ 1.664080] ohci-pci: OHCI PCI platform driver [ 1.674434] ehci-pci 0000:00:12.2: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00 [ 1.674667] hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found [ 1.674681] hub 1-0:1.0: 5 ports detected [ 1.674861] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: xHCI Host Controller [ 1.674868] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 [ 1.698638] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0 [ 1.744500] firewire_ohci 0000:04:0e.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 0, 4 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x11 [ 2.244836] firewire_core 0000:04:0e.0: created device fw0: GUID 0014aafc64aa2c00, S400 [ 2.424912] tsc: Refined TSC clocksource calibration: 4018.296 MHz [ 19.310338] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: can't setup: -110 [ 19.310768] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: USB bus 2 deregistered [ 19.310811] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: init 0000:02:00.0 fail, -110 [ 19.311341] xhci_hcd: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -110 [ 19.311385] AMD-Vi: Event logged [ [ 19.311394] Switched to clocksource tsc [ 19.311406] ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: EHCI Host Controller [ 19.311412] ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 [ 19.311415] ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: applying AMD SB700/SB800/Hudson-2/3 EHCI dummy qh workaround [ 19.311443] ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: debug port 1 [ 19.311500] ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: irq 17, io mem 0xfe507000 [ 19.311678] IO_PAGE_FAULT device=02:00.0 domain=0x0016 address=0x00000000ce9f9880 flags=0x0010] [ 19.311689] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=02:00.0 domain=0x0016 address=0x00000000ce9f9880 flags=0x0010] [ 19.312650] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=02:00.0 domain=0x0016 address=0x00000000ce9f9880 flags=0x0010] [ 19.313611] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=02:00.0 domain=0x0016 address=0x00000000ce9f9880 flags=0x0010] <snip many more AMD-Vi Events> [ 19.335619] AMD-Vi: Event logged [ [ 19.335918] ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00 [ 19.335924] IO_PAGE_FAULT device=02:00.0 domain=0x0016 address=0x00000000ce9f9880 flags=0x0010] [ 19.335925] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=02:00.0 domain=0x0016 address=0x00000000ce9f9880 flags=0x0010] [ 19.335926] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=02:00.0 domain=0x0016 address=0x00000000ce9f9880 flags=0x0010] [ 19.335926] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=02:00.0 domain=0x0016 address=0x00000000ce9f9880 flags=0x0010] <snip ~480 more AMD-Vi Events (same event)> [ 19.336291] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=02:00.0 domain=0x0016 address=0x00000000ce9f9880 flags=0x0010] [ 20.581330] hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found [ 20.581343] hub 2-0:1.0: 5 ports detected [ 20.581604] ehci-pci 0000:00:16.2: EHCI Host Controller [ 20.581608] ehci-pci 0000:00:16.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 [ 20.581611] ehci-pci 0000:00:16.2: applying AMD SB700/SB800/Hudson-2/3 EHCI dummy qh workaround [ 20.581619] ehci-pci 0000:00:16.2: debug port 1 [ 20.581641] ehci-pci 0000:00:16.2: irq 17, io mem 0xfe504000 [ 20.596725] ehci-pci 0000:00:16.2: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00 [ 20.596913] hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found [ 20.596925] hub 3-0:1.0: 4 ports detected ... continues normally Anybody have any idea how to fix this? -- David C.
