Excuse me, are we or are we not a distro which prides itself on the fact that we live on the bleeding (straight) edge??? Just ask phrik: 10:05:03 PM - eschwartz: archlinux 10:05:05 PM - phrik: Livin' life on the hemorrhaging edge! I've changed my mind -- we should immediately enable PIE. :p :p -- Eli Schwartz lol Yeah Bug tester and edge-liver is in need.

[arch-general] python-txaio
by Storm Dragon 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Howdy, I noticed that python-txaio was marked out of date last month. The older version is now causing another package, python-autobahn, to not function. I was able to fix this for myself just by installing from abs. I worry though, that newbies may not know how to fix this issue for themselves. So, if someone has time, can you please update to version 2.7.0? Thanks Storm -- Powered by Arch Linux!

[arch-general] archlinux ext4 recovery file versioning
by Maykel Franco 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

Hi, I have a server in archlinux with samba. I have windows client in my house with mapped folder but a Trojan has entered and encrypted all files included server archlinux... Archlinux has formated with ext4. Would it be possible to recover unencrypted files?

Sounds like reasonable behaviour to me, but I guess it's not what you want. The simple answer would be: try to find out what happens during suspend/wakeup. There's probably something that informs gpg-agent to "forget" the password. Mvg, Guus Snijders

[arch-general] Is screen safe when it has setsuid?
by Iru Cai 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

Hello, I saw that the permission of screen is -rwsr-xr-x, which means when screen is run, it's run as root at the beginning. I don't know if it can be a security issue. I also checked the screen program in Debian. It uses setguid as a non-root group. -rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp ... /usr/bin/screen Iru -- Please do not send me Microsoft Office/Apple iWork documents. Send OpenDocument instead! http://fsf.org/campaigns/opendocument/

I am facing the same issue.. once i upgraded my arch system. On 16-Mar-2017 1:31 PM, "Karol Babioch" <karol(a)babioch.de> wrote: Hi, since a while my GPG agent is asking for a passphrase, once my laptop has been suspended. This hasn't been the case beforehand. I'm pretty sure this is happening since the last update of the gpg package a few days ago, but I'm no entirely sure, since I've updated a whole bunch of packages in this timeframe. My gpg-agent.conf contains the following: > default-cache-ttl 86400 > max-cache-ttl 2592000 > default-cache-ttl-ssh 86400 > max-cache-ttl-ssh 2592000 This worked before, and in makes much more sense in my environment than to flush the cache with every suspend. I couldn't find anything in GnuPG's changelog, so maybe it is also some new GNOME, systemd, etc. feature. Has anyone of you also noticed this and maybe even figured it out already?
