[arch-general] libgnutls problem
by Sławek Kapłoński 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hello, After today upgrade of system I got some problems with mutt client. When I want to start it I got errors like: mutt: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.28: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So I checked what was upgraded and with what it could be related. After downgrading packages: nettle and gnutls mutt starts working properly. But after that I want to run spotify and it fails with error: /usr/share/spotify/spotify-client/spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.30: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So it looks that for spotify I should have this newest gnutls installed. Is it "common" bug or only I have something broken in my packages? And second question, can I have installed two versions of package somehow? -- Best regards / Pozdrawiam Sławek Kapłoński slawek(a)kaplonski.pl

[arch-general] mate-session listening socket lockdown
by Troy Engel 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Doing a little hardening, I notice on my workstations that 'mate-session' activates a user-level listening socket on 0.0.0.0 that you can telnet into and slam with gibberish (and it doesn't exit) -- does anyone know how to set up a config to lock that to 127.0.0.1 and ::1? $ netstat -lntp | grep mate-session tcp 1 0 0.0.0.0:60715 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 24246/mate-session tcp6 0 0 :::50621 :::* LISTEN 24246/mate-session $ telnet localhost 60715 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. HELP asdas asd a asd a ^] telnet> close Connection closed. I've had a perusal of the source[1] and see that it's some sort of "xmp" thing, but I freely admit I don't do a lot of debugging in this area of the X world (I'm a server guy). Any pointers what this is for and how I can get it locked down? The gconf schema file doesn't have a setting, perhaps it's configured somewhere else? The Googletubes are failing me, or maybe I just don't understand what I should be googling for to get the right hits... thx! -te [1] https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-session-manager/tree/1.8/mate-session

[arch-general] How to autostart ufw on system startup?
by Francis Gerund 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hello! How do I get ufw to start automatically upon Arch system startup? The Arch wiki Uncomplicated Firewall pages says: "Start ufw as systemd service to have it running and enable it to make it available after boot. " How do I do that? Then it shows an example configuration (can't I just keep the default: deny all incoming, allow all outgoing)? Then it says: "The next line is only needed *once* the first time you install the package: # ufw enable" That does not seem to be true - I have to do "sudo ufw enable" every time I restart the system. Then, it says: "Then enable the ufw service with systemctl." How? Bottom line: ufw works okay, I just want it to start automatically when the system starts up.

[arch-general] Login manager does not exit properly
by Siddhartha 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi, sddm/lightdm works properly, but if I stop the sddm/lighdm service (systemctl stop sddm), tty1 (where it was started) goes blank with a blinking cursor instead of exiting cleanly and showing the login prompt. Can someone help me debug this? Thanks, Siddhartha

[arch-general] Kernel 3.19.3 not detecting SD cards
by Magnus Therning 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

SD cards were noticed just fine under 3.19.2, but that stopped when upgrading to 3.19.3. Has anyone else noticed this? For now I've reverted to 3.19.2 again, but would love to hear if it's some configuration option that I can use to get it working under 3.19.3. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus About the use of language: it is impossible to sharpen a pencil with a blunt axe.

[arch-general] opal package out of date for long
by Michał Zegan 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Hello. It seems that the package opal is out of date, and marked such for a year without it being updated. The current version in arch is 3.10.3, the newest is 3.14.3, if I remember correctly. Any suggestions about what to do in this case? I'm not sure if such mails belong to this list or not.
