[arch-general] hdf5 Conflict on pacman update

Archdevs, Don't know if this is worth a note on the page for manual intervention, but on update earlier today we received: :: Synchronizing package databases... core 158.6 KiB 109 KiB/s 00:01 [######################################] 100% extra 1711.3 KiB 6.43 MiB/s 00:00 [######################################] 100% community 6.7 MiB 16.3 MiB/s 00:00 [######################################] 100% :: Starting full system upgrade... :: Replace med with community/med-openmpi?

[arch-general] boot magically mounted on startup; reliable?
by Vasile Vilvoiu 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Hello! On my latest install I forgot to mount the boot partition during the installation process, which prompted me to come back on a few of the steps after setting up the root filesystem. Everything works great (with systemd-boot) but I just remembered one thing I missed was adding an entry in fstab for /boot. However, it does seem that systemd does mount _something_ automatically: $ mount | grep boot systemd-1 on /boot type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=50,pgrp=1,timeout=120,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=10794) and that _something_ seems to be the same as the boot partition: $ sudo ls -al /boot total 58408 drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Jul 9 11:02 .. drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jul 9 10:54 EFI drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 9 21:55 'System Volume Information' -rwx------ 1 root root 34938914 Jul 19 18:14 initramfs-linux-fallback.img -rwx------ 1 root root 9030240 Jul 19 18:14 initramfs-linux.img -rwx------ 1 root root 5174272 May 10 21:27 intel-ucode.img drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jul 26 08:47 loader -rwx------ 1 root root 10636800 Jul 19 18:14 vmlinuz-linux $ sudo mount /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt $ sudo ls -al /mnt total 58408 drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Jul 9 11:02 .. drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jul 9 10:54 EFI drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 9 21:55 'System Volume Information' -rwx------ 1 root root 34938914 Jul 19 18:14 initramfs-linux-fallback.img -rwx------ 1 root root 9030240 Jul 19 18:14 initramfs-linux.img -rwx------ 1 root root 5174272 May 10 21:27 intel-ucode.img drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jul 26 08:47 loader -rwx------ 1 root root 10636800 Jul 19 18:14 vmlinuz-linux I have trouble finding the documentation of this behavior and I'd like to know if it can be relied upon or I should add an entry manually. -- Best regards, Vasile Vilvoiu

[arch-general] ZFS in repos?
by Piscium 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

ZFS is in AUR. I wonder what is the reason why it is not moved to the Arch repos? The zfs-linux package has 250 votes, the zfs-dkms has 137, and the zfs-linux-lts has 70. I am aware about the possible license incompatibility between the kernel which uses GPL2 and ZFS which uses CDDL, however even Debian which is strict about several things such as what is 'free software', has ZFS in its main repos.

[arch-general] System-wide PAM alternative auths methods with different users

On Wed, Jul 13, 2022 at 05:00:10PM +0200, Max Gautier wrote: Hi everyone. I recently setup pam authenication using some Yubikeys and was wondering how to integrate to all pam-based applications (screenlocker, polkit, sudo, login, etc) without forcing its use for all user. The wiki describe how to setup yubikey or fprintd with sufficient, but not a general way. After reading `man pam.d`, this is what I would go for: in /etc/pam.d/system-auth: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_faillock.so preauth # Optionally use requisite above if you do not want to prompt for the password # on locked accounts. auth [success=4 default=ignore] pam_fprintd.so cue # addition auth [success=3 default=ignore] pam_u2f.so # addition -auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_systemd_home.so auth [success=1 default=bad] pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok auth [default=die] pam_faillock.so authfail auth optional pam_permit.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_faillock.so authsucc # If you drop the above call to pam_faillock.so the lock will be done also # on non-consecutive authentication failures. ... (skipped rest of the file) If I understand correctly, the success=n make PAM skip the n following modules, so this would allow a user not having any enrolled fingerprint or configured yubikeys to authenticate normally with their password. And user with those will be able to use them to authenticate. Is this the correct approach ? Thanks ! -- Max Gautier

[arch-general] Virtualbox - rdesktop access only shows 1024x768 active in window of 1440x864?
by David C. Rankin 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

All, Accessing virtualbox guests on Arch server with rdesktop will only show 1024 x 768 active (meaning background, taskbar, mouse movement, etc.) in window of 1440 x 864. This started around linux 5.17.6 and continues through the current kernel. What changed and what do I need to do to be able to see the entire window? (it's there, I can move windows to from the black area, I just can't see it) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] 5.18 reboot halts on "kvm: exiting virtual machine", requires hard reset
by David C. Rankin 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

All, My server will no longer reboot with kernels from about 5.18.5 or so on. The reboot stops after everything is shut down and reboot is called, but the next line on the error output on the screen says something like: kvm: exiting virtual machine At this point the box is hardlocked and I have to use the hardware reset button to finish the reboot (not good on remote admin'ed machines) I have two boxes that have developed this issue and both have older AMD video cards, so I wonder if this failure to reboot is related to: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74346 Could the amdgpu null-pointer bug on boot be what is causing the reboot to hang? How would you test/verify? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 mic not working
by Sadeep Madurange 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Hello everyone, I installed arch 5.18.9-arch1-1 on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11. Initially my speakers weren't working. Following the arch wiki, I installed sof-firmware and added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/audiofix.conf: options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0 options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-amic enable=yes After that speakers started to work. However, my mic is still not working. I'm using plain alsa, and amixer command to control audio. I have already increased the volume of the mic using `amixer set Capture '100%'` for which I see the following output. Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 63 Front Left: Capture 63 [100%] [30.00dB] [on] Front Right: Capture 63 [100%] [30.00dB] [on] Result of `arecord -l` is: **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC287 Analog [ALC287 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Following the Arch wiki, I tried adding the following to /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf: options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 When I tried to run the following command, I got the "Not permitted error": # rmmod snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel Help please. -- Executive ability is prominent in your make-up.

[arch-general] openssl 3 -- status?
by Genes Lists 01 Jul '22

01 Jul '22

Be terrific if someone could provide an update on where things stand for arch migration to Openssl 3? We're coming up on the 1 year anniversary of openssl 3 with 3.0.4 released last week. As I recall there was some work happening to ensure things continue to work properly. My loose understanding is that openssl 3 has ABI changes but the API changes seem to be quite limited. The arch tracker site [1] shows 26 core packages as incomplete - though it's bit unclear from the site what the actual problems are. It also shows many many other packages similarly "incomplete" Fedora 36, which was released May 10 this year is, I believe, built against openssl 3. This at least strongly suggests that most "normal" packages work fine with rebuild of recent versions. We always have recent versions :) Taking a couple of examples from the tracker page [1]: 1) openssh shows the current version as incomplete. The openssh docs suggest openssl 3 support was made available in version 8.1p1 while it was still in dev. 2) cryptsetup - seems to be compatible as of 2.4.0. current version is 2.4.3). Only reference I found was redhat [2] 3) kmod - was unable to find any known issues. fedora 36 kmod is built against openssl 3 and it presumably is ok. 4) systemd - best I can tell there were some issues but they have been resolved (including license issues) 1 example is [3] Be great to get an update from those who, unlike me, really know :) thanks gene [1] https://archlinux.org/todo/openssl-30/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1975799 [3] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/21666
