Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] archlinux/base docker image will no longer be updated
by Óscar García Amor 01 Nov '20

I take this opportunity to comment that I maintain a clean Arch Linux image[1] (base and base-devel) builded[2] 1 and 15 of every month. It has some ideas of several repos (including the Official) to make it standard and tiny. Is published in GitHub[3] and any comment is welcomed. Greetings.

[arch-general] clamdscan started to ignore MaxFileSize
by Łukasz Michalski 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hi, I am using clamdscan to scan smb file server directories: /usr/bin/clamdscan --multiscan --fdpass /srv/samba/files I upgraded my over a year old arch yesterday and clamdscan started to fail with messages: /srv/samba/files/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1804.iso: Can't allocate memory ERROR I have default setting for MaxFileSize in /etc/clamav/clamd.conf. I also tried to set it explicitly to 30M but it seems that clamd started to ignore this setting after upgrade. Is it only me or anyone has this problem? Tried to google for solutions without any success so far. Regards, Łukasz

[arch-general] Problem formatting/initialising new WD GameDrive USB disk
by Jeanette C. 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

Hey hey, I have just got a new Western Digital USB drive, GameDrive, an 8TB medium. I can't however format it or even create a new partition table. I am running a fairly up-to-date system: Kernel: 5.6.19-rt12-1-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT The device is recognised upon connection, also lsblk shows it. blkid however doesn't show it. Fdisk can't open it, reporting: fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: Input/output error parted will start with it and show its identifier and size, but not even create a partition table, complaining about an input/output error. Here is a snippet from dmesg: [1206985.479621] usb 1-4.1: new high-speed USB device number 95 using ehci-pci [1206985.623255] usb 1-4.1: New USB device found, idVendor=1058, idProduct=2631, bcdDevice=50.06 [1206985.623261] usb 1-4.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=1 [1206985.623264] usb 1-4.1: Product: Game Drive [1206985.623266] usb 1-4.1: Manufacturer: Western Digital [1206985.623268] usb 1-4.1: SerialNumber: 3030303030303030303030303030303030303030 [1206985.624147] usb-storage 1-4.1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [1206985.630644] scsi host6: usb-storage 1-4.1:1.0 [1206986.679886] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access WD Game Drive 5006 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 [1206986.680412] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [1206986.684981] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Very big device.

[arch-general] pacman -Rnus inetutils
by Neven Sajko 25 Oct '20

25 Oct '20

Today pacman surprised me after updating my system: turns out nothing on my installation depended on inetutils any more, so I removed it, even though it was there forever. The following reboot proceeded fine. I'm curious if somebody knows which packages dropped it as a dependency lately. Regards, Neven

[arch-general] Packages "jami-gnome" and "libjamiclient" out of date
by Friedrich Strohmaier 24 Oct '20

24 Oct '20

Hi archers, Packages "jami-gnome" and "libjamiclient" are flagged out of date since 2019-11-16 / 2019-11-20. There are two new releases in place. I tried to contact the maintainer twice but nothing happened. I retrieved the maintainers (Bruno Pagani) mail adress from this mailinglist. I suspect the mails didn't ever get there. Any hints how to proceed? -- Friedrich

I have not been able to fine anything on this one. I am scratching my head. Any help would be greatly appriseated. Thanks. Matthew
