[arch-general] Why no option to stay with clamav 103 since as a LTS release it will be supported longer then 104?
by David C. Rankin 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

All, Just curious why Arch doesn't also provide the option to track clamav_LTS which will stay with 103 and will be supported much longer than 104? I know, I know, Arch matches upstream, but when upstream provides both current and LTS, wouldn't it make sense to also package and provide LTS like with the kernel? (the packaging would be trivial and the same between the current and LTS aside from the source package for all purposes) Just a thought as there is real advantage to being able to track the clamav LTS release here, without hacking pacman.conf. There are few packages that actually provide a LTS branch so it wouldn't open the flood gates to a bevy of new packages. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I added the patch to the linux PKGBUILD and the errors no longer appear. Is there a possibility to add that patch to the linux package? Don't really want to build the kernel every time it is updated.

[arch-general] Should PacBSD (Arch with BSD kernel) be revived?
by KSP Atlas 13 Nov '21

PacBSD is a GNU/BSD distribution of Arch Linux but with the BSD kernel instead. Do you think it should be revived, as it seems to be dead with the website down and everything?

[arch-general] New LXQt (1.0.0) with big text size, affecting other Qt apps
by Javier 12 Nov '21

12 Nov '21

Hello ! I've been using LXQt for some time now (years), and with Today's Arch upgrade, which included a LXQt upgrade 0.17.0-1 -> 1.0.0-1, everything was showing app really big, from LXQt own text (menus, icons, widgets, etc) to other apps. The only work around I found was to reduce the font size on LXQt's preferences, and also on Qterminal, I had to change it from like 18 to 10 on Qterminal, and from 16 to 10 on LXQt itself. I still see other apps bigger than what they used to be, and in particular the apps' toolbar became wider, and the border surrounding Qt apps became wider (to the point it's annoying). It's not about manipulating QT_SCALE_FACTOR + QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR, and the like, because that's to make things bigger when they look way to small and unreadable. Actually by setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR to 1, its the same behavior as not setting any variable, and lower than 0 values don't really work on Qt (I tried, and the results are really weird, non functional to say the least). Have other lxqt users experienced the same on Arch? Would it be an Arch building and packaging issue? Or this is totally an upstream thing? Thanks ! -- Javier

[arch-general] gpg-agent Failed to lookup

Hi all. After recent updates to arch I started having problems with some programs that make use of the gnome-keyring-daemon. When I run for example the command 'pass -c git-azure', the command takes about 15 seconds to ask for the password and the following messages appear in the log: Nov 09 11:13:26 jveii gpg-agent[124433]: Failed to lookup password for key n/1128A1F67CEF113D23CE021A5502F13DEE17610C with secret service: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.secrets: Timeout was reached Nov 09 11:13:01 jveii gnome-keyring-d[124438]: Couldn't connect to session bus: Cannot spawn a message bus when setuid Nov 09 11:13:01 jveii gnome-keyring-daemon[124438]: Couldn't connect to session bus: Cannot spawn a message bus when setuid Nov 09 11:13:01 jveii /usr/lib/gdm-x-session[124438]: SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring/sshNov 09 11:13:01 jveii gnome-keyring-daemon[783]: couldn't connect to dbus session bus: Cannot spawn a message bus when setuid Nov 09 11:13:01 jveii /usr/lib/gdm-x-session[795]: dbus-daemon[795]: [session uid=1000 pid=795] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.secrets' requested by ':1.1451' (uid=1000 pid=124433 comm="/usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 --display :0 ") I'm also having issues with other applications like vpn connections and chromium is taking a while to display the first page once it starts up. Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thank you very much in advance.

Hi. By default, six ttys are defined but I would have more ; in distros with sysv there was an /etc/inttab file defining consoles and it was simple to define more. I didn't find info in the wiki ; I pretty sure my method to search is bad but... Regards. -- Philippe

[arch-general] Users in mariadb
by Philippe Delavalade 09 Nov '21

Hello dear list. I had a look to the mysql.user table and found four users at localhost ; two of them seem odd to me : 1 mariadb.sys with no password 2 mysql with the password 'invalid'. I guess I can delete user 'mysql'@'localhost' but what about 'mariadb.sys'@'localhost' ? In the slackware box, those users don't exist. Thanks for advise. Regards. -- Philippe
