[arch-general] does latest grub 2:2.06-1 support luks2 encrypted boot partition?
by Javier 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

Hi ! I'm wondering if latest grub 2:2.06-1 now supports luks2 encrypted boot partitions. I looked at the archwiki, but it still mentions official repos grub only supports luks1, but perhaps it's way too early for the wiki to be up to date... Thanks ! -- Javier

[arch-general] [OT] changing ripped music metadata from freeDB to MusicBrainz
by Javier 14 Jun '21

14 Jun '21

Hi ! I have several ripped music CDs, and I just realized part of the metadata (I haven't looked at all of it) has the wrong track titles. I think the issue came from using freeDB for getting the metadata information, and I'm wondering if there's a way to repopulate all of it (and more, like composer information) with MusicBrainz gathered metadata instead. Is there a tool which would allow me to do the conversion? I ripped the CDs into ogg vorbis, in case that helps identify the right tool... Of course hopefully tools found on Arch, and it'd be better if they are command line ones, though a GUI one might do it as well if there's no other option... Of course doing things recursively is a must, going ogg by ogg would take like forever, :) Re-ripping would take way too long BTW, hopefully that's not the only option. I'm sorry for the "off thread" question, but I really have no clue, neither have an idea where to ask... Thanks a lot ! -- Javier

[arch-general] udev rules 2 times exec script
by Maykel Franco 13 Jun '21

13 Jun '21

Hi, I try configure the rule in udev for when I connect specific usb device, launch script backup. I have this rule: /etc/udev/rules.d/10.autobackup.rules SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="058f", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6387", SYMLINK+="external%n", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/autobackup.sh" This works well, buth exec 2 times the script... Jun 12 13:53:09 archlaptop autobackup.sh: BEGIN SCRIPT Jun 12 13:53:13 archlaptop autobackup.sh: BEGIN SCRIPT I googled and I see this: The issue was resolved by adding ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device" in a rule. If add ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device" and change the SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" , when plug usb, udev does nothing ... I don't understand why udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sda1) https://pastebin.com/Zcz769BQ

[arch-general] Firefox dropping support for OTB fonts as well?
by Javier 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Hello ! After pango moved to use Harfbuzz, the Terminus bitmap fonts no longer were shown as a font on could select on firefox, so Terminus bitmap fonts were actually dropped. Then later kept showing up on Firefox as they used to, like xos4 Terminus, but I don't know if they kept working as before... At that time though, Terminus OTB (openTypeBitmap) were still showing up as an option on Firefox, as just Terminus, and were working fine. Even until versions 88+. With Firefox 89, the Terminus OTB and the Terminus bitmap fonts can be selected still, but they don't really work anymore. When one zooms out or zooms in a web site, the mono space fonts using whether Terminus or xos4 Terminus do NOT zoom at all, they remain the same pretty small size. And manually changing the monospace (which are the ones I set with terminus fonts) size through preferences don't make the fonts change size at all. So it seems neither bitmap, nor OTP, Terminus fonts are working on Firefox any more. On AUR there's a terminus-font-ttf, meant for Java applications it seems, which are apparently working on Firefox. I tried them before on virtual terminals like rxvt-unicode and qterminal, and they look pretty bad (blurry actually), so I wouldn't dare using those fonts on any virtual terminal. However they seem to work on Firefox. Has Firefox finally dropped support for non TTF fonts? Are the TTF Terminus fonts, the definite work around? If someone knows, please provide some light, :) Thanks a lot ! -- Javier

The time stamp at the bottom of https://archlinux.org/pacman/pacman.conf.5.html is Aug-2019. The way I understand pacman v6 conf, there are some changes. Such as retiring TotalDownload. I haven't checked if there are differences with other files at the site. Is updating pacman.conf.5.html already scheduled? -- u34

[arch-general] Problems updating wine 6.9-1 -> 6.10-1

[arch-general] System Freeze on sleep
by Prateek Sadhukhan 01 Jun '21

01 Jun '21

Hello All, After upgrading to the new kernel I see that my system freezes when I try to resume from sleep. This happens intermittently but frequent enough to be irritating. I have to reboot the system to recover. I am running kernel 5.12.7-arch1-1 The issue was not seen with kernel 5.11. I am running arch on btrfs and I suspect it is a btrfs issue somehow. When I check dmesg (journactl --dmesg --boot -1) I see that it always ends with the following two lines when the issue is seen. May 29 07:12:40 matrix kernel: PM: suspend entry (deep) May 29 07:12:40 matrix kernel: Filesystems sync: 0.025 seconds I wanted to know how do I attempt to debug this issue? Regards, Prateek

And the fact that the problem is intermittent also suggests that it may perhaps be a kernel issue rather than a hard drive issue? It is not a very critical machine and I have backups. Do you have some suggestions as to how I should go about dealing with this? Other commands to test the hard drive? Kernel parameters?

[arch-general] How to enable Archlinux users to easily avoid Polkit?
by Neven Sajko 30 May '21

30 May '21

Hi On my up-to-date Archlinux system, the only package that depends on Polkit is Colord, which, in turn, is only depended on by GTK3. Forcefully removing the Polkit package (with pacman -R --assume-installed polkit polkit), works fine: after doing it, I rebooted and printed a page from Chromium (which uses GTK3 for this) on my black-and-white printer over USB. It would be very nice to give Arch and GTK3 users like me the opportunity to avoid Polkit without hassle. The only idea I got is to move polkit from depends to optdepends in the colord package, and add post_install and post_upgrade messages saying something like: > WARNING: install polkit if you plan on actually using colord! Do others agree that this would be more good than bad? In any case, I'm not a Pacman expert, so I'm hoping somebody can come up with an even better solution? Tangentially, what are the chances of convincing upstream to relax the Colord dependency on Polkit? Could such a patch get accepted? BTW, does somebody know what happened to the packages for building GTK3 without Colord, building Colord without Polkit, and similar? I think those were available on AUR previosuly. Regards, Neven
