[arch-general] Fail2Ban is not adding iptables rules
by Maykel Franco 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

Hi, I have this script for iptables for my archlinux desktop: https://pastebin.com/SafhsKFt And when received external request access SSH error, fail2ban add rule but the rule not working. I think it has to do with the iptables script, but the fail2ban blocking rules add fine but don't ban. That could be happening?

[arch-general] Arch Linux Support for Station P1, Station M1?
by Morne Ross 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

Hi Firefly is looking for some developers to add Linux OS support for their devices and can give some free samples. They have the Station P1 RK3399 and Station M1 RK3328 and plan to also release a RK3568 device in a couple of weeks. http://stationpc.com/portal.php?mod=topic&topicid=2 http://stationpc.com/portal.php?mod=topic&topicid=7 Will it be possible for someone to build Arch Linux for it perhaps? The source code is also available for the devices and they already have Linux booting with 5.9 kernels. For further cooperation or help you can contact T-Chip, manufacturer of the Firefly devices. sgs(a)t-chip.com.cn You can send me the contact and shipping details then I can forward it to them for where the samples can be shipped too. If more than one person needs samples than I can also ask them. Regards Morne

[arch-general] Makepkg: Incremental builds
by LuKaRo 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

Hi everyone, I'm currently building ungoogled-chromium from AUR, which is running for 6 hrs now on my 6-core i7-9750H laptop and almost done. However, I'm thinking about what happens when the next version will be released. From my understanding, when running git pull to fetch the latest version from AUR and afterwards makepkg -sri, the old binaries will be deleted prior to starting the build, which will probably require to build everything from scratch. Am I right? However, I'm sure that only parts of the source change between versions. Therefore, only parts of the binary files would need to be built again, which would dramatically decrease build time. Correct? How can I make use of incremental builds using makepkg? I'm aware of the -e switch, but that would skip the prepare function, which might be required as e.g. new patch files from AUR would need to be applied. Furthermore, the timestamps of the source files all seem to be set to the archival date. This would probably also require a full build, even if only parts of the source changed. Correct? If yes, is there a way to fix that? Having to spend 6-7 hrs of build time on each new release would make frequent updating impractical. Thanks in advance! LuKaRo

[arch-general] suspend to RAM with home on NFS
by hw 01 Nov '20

Hi, how do you get suspend to RAM to work with home directories on NFS? Since I have /home mounted over NFS, suspending just freezes and I can only hold down the power button to turn the computer off.

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.
