There is an AUR package for that audio driver: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snd-hda-macbookpro-dkms-git And more info on the drivers github repo: https://github.com/davidjo/snd_hda_macbookpro Good luck!

Sound system not working on Macbook Pro (2017)
by Sadeep Madurange 06 Nov '24

06 Nov '24

Hello, I installed Arch Linux 6.11.1-arch1-1 on a 2017 Macbook Pro with KDE Plasma desktop package (initially installed the plasma-meta and kde-applications-meta, but I've since gotten rid of them). Sound output is not working with the speakers or headphones. KDE shows "No output or input devices found". During my troubleshoot, I ended up removingn pipewire stuff. Now I have pulseaudio, pulseaudio-alsa, and alsa-utils installed. I created a file /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf and added "options snd_hda_intel model=intel-mac-auto" to it (and restarted), but that did not help. I have installed alsa firmware and sof-firmware.

Mail Server: A new beginning

I have read the information previous supplied and found some useful tidbits/information. This is to better explain what I am trying to accomplish server alarm.home.org <-- fetchmail <-- 1(a)example.org Dovecot/SMTP <-- 2(a)example.org <-- 3(a)example.org <-- 4(a)example.org The fetchmail delivers all emails to oldfart(a)home.arpa (dovecot on alarm.home.arpa) (smtp on alarm.home.arpa) ^ | | Thunderbird then reads the account oldfart(a)home.arpa (IMAP) Reply to 3(a)example.org --> www.twc.com smarthost Reply to 1(a)example.org --> www.twc.com smarthost New message to arch-general(a)lists.archlinux.org from pocket(a)alarm.arpa So SMTP needs to rewrite oldfart(a)home.arpa to 3(a)example.org use 3(a)example.org credentials to www.twc.com rewrite oldfart(a)home.arpa to 1(a)example.org use 1(a)example.org credentials to www.twc.com rewrite oldfart(a)home.arpa to pocket(a)example.org use pocket(a)example.org credentials to www.twc.com Dovecot to use PAM to validate user oldfart, Maildir on /srv/Mail/<user> SMTP to use dovecot credentials STARTTLS/TLS connection required to www.twc.com No TLS/SSL required on the local network, but if it is required to do so then so be it. Procedure: Step 1. create certs Step 2. install/configure dovecot Step 3. install/configure a SMTP daemon I hope this makes this more clear of what I am trying to accomplish.

Mail server
by Pocket 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

I am looking to setup an email server for home use. I want to replace a debian server on a RPI 4 to an archlinux arm on RPI 4. I have dovecot and postifix on the debian rpi presently. It is not working as needed. I have looked at the relative wiki pages for postfix, exim, opensmtpd and dovecot. Looks like I may need help with the setup. Need recommendations and setup help for one of the following: SMTP postfix, exim, opensmtpd The server needs to send/forward email from alarm.home.arpa to mail.twc.com for several accounts. The smarthost would need to "lookup" the account for the proper login credentials. I have no been able to set this up in exim nor postfix IMAP dovecot Need to be able set email directories to /srv/Mail/<user> for all users The /srv is a raid 1 partition so I want to store the mail there instead of in the default /var directory Thanks -- Hindi madali ang maging ako

Yes, but this does not happen when moving a package from AUR to the official repositories. For example in the case of the package we are talking about there is no git history [1] since it stayed in the AUR [2]. However that could be a very good solution, always move the git repository from the AUR when a package is promoted and vice versa (move the git from the official repository to the AUR) when the package is left without maintainer.

Is there a way to submit a one-shot update to an Aur package without becoming the maintainer?
by David C. Rankin 03 Nov '24

03 Nov '24

Arch and Aur Folks, I updated https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mongodb44 to build with the last 4.4.29 source and patched for boost 1.86. The package builds fine now against current Arch. I wanted to pass along the results of those efforts and update the Aur package, but didn't want to take on the maintainer role. Is there a way to provide an update for the package and bring in back into date without becoming the maintainer? I have a signed source package I'm happy to pass along if that is something the admins can do. There is about 8 hours of effort to that went to find and fix all the issues, I'd like to make that available to whoever may need the 4.4 version of mongodb. I didn't think I'd ever need it, but it is the last version that wasn't built requiring avx - so it is useful if you need it for those cases or need it in a VM, etc.. (note: some parts of a 3rd party package included along with the source will need a significant 'type' change to suppress the char8_t -Wc++20-compat type warning, but that's just something for the future, and there is one more -Wredundant-move I need to fix in src/mongo/db/matcher/expression_array.h that somehow got missed in the hundreds of thousands of lines of output) I've tried posting to aur-general, but my posts do not ever make it to the list. I don't mind picking up the maintainer role, but am hesitant to get caught be another large boost deprecation/removal during a busy week and not have time to devote to it. Is a one-shot update something that can be done for this package without becoming the maintainer? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Status of package superslicer
by Björn Försterling 30 Oct '24

Hi, was the package "superslicer" removed from pacman? $ sudo pacman -Ss superslicer $ echo $? 1 Also I cannot find the package "slic3r" as well. The only slicer that pacman supports now seems to be the "prusa- slicer". Does anyone know why these packages where removed? Regards Björn

Nextcloud - Archlinux packaged apps verse Nextcloud store - What is the difference?
by David C. Rankin 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

Devs, I've used nextcloud in Arch for a couple of years. When I installed, it was just the Nextcloud webapp that was available and the applications were packaged by nextcloud with additional apps available in the nextcloud store. Now there are "nextcloud-app-xxxx" packages provided by Archlinux, e.g. nextcloud-app-bookmarks nextcloud-app-calendar nextcloud-app-contacts nextcloud-app-main nextcloud-app-news nextcloud-app-notes nextcloud-app-spreed Did something change that now means I should be installing the nextcloud-app-xxxx packages instead of the apps that are already in Nextcloud? The wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nextcloud is silent on the packaged apps. Are they different from what is available in the nextcloud store? Better? Just trying to figure out why they are packaged and if I should switch to them. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

About AUR accreditation policy
by Óscar García Amor 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Hello foks, I tell you, about 8 hours ago a package that Radu C. Martin and I were maintaining (textpieces) was moved from the AUR to extra. In this movement (which seems perfect to us, every package officially maintained is welcome and better than this in the AUR) our names have disappeared[1]. I don't want you to misunderstand me, I'm not crying foul about this, but it doesn't seem fair to me that the person (or persons) who kept the package for a while until it became official is not credited. If we in the AUR keep the names of those who preceded us in the maintenance of the package, I understand that when a package moves from the AUR to an official repository the same should happen. This happens when a package is dropped to AUR. I don't know if there is a directive for this, but if not, maybe it's time to write one. And as I said, I don't mind that my name doesn't appear as a contributor right now (I keep my AUR packages for myself and for people to benefit from it, not for fame or similar nonsense), but I do find it a bit ugly that the effort involved in doing that work is not recognized, and not by me, but by everyone. Greetings. PS: I would not want accusations or ugly things to come out of this. I just want to note that there should be a policy that the AUR maintainer's work should be credited when a package is moved to an official repository.
