[arch-general] usbguard
by Frank 16 May '20

16 May '20

Good evening, I'm trying to make usbgard work. I created the initial rules set with usbguard generate-policy > /etc/usbguard/rules.conf and started the usbguard.service. Now I testing it with a USB flash drive but am failing to make it work. The drive is plugged and usbguard list-devices gives the following output: 19: block id 058f:6387 serial "50624E36" name "Mass Storage" hash "icy/i6K1xnkICYPmiNNwJ18cmu5GqfsHSjCGuC5WIXg=" parent-hash "oDU77vx1EsfYlDoXkU7iWjsvmBNCDNTcCHp/V0hIFXc=" via-port "2-1.2" with-interface 08:06:50 with-connect-type "hotplug" However usbguard allow-device 058f:6387 throws the following error message: IPC ERROR: request id=1: Device lookup: device id: id doesn't exist lsbusb shows the device with the same id: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 058f:6387 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Drive So what am I doing wrong here? Thanks Frank

[arch-general] PAM CAllback
by Andy Pieters 15 May '20

15 May '20

Hi I am looking to have PAM call a script after a successful 2F authentication. My impression is that it is not going to be possible. I even have got a question open on StackExchange about it [1] Any ideas? [1] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/586243/callback-when-logged-on-via…

[arch-general] Irritating bug in outdated version of gnome-flashback
by Roope Salmi 14 May '20

14 May '20

The current version of gnome-flashback in the repositories has a bug with taking screenshots to the clipboard using the keyboard shortcut. After using it a couple times, pasting the resulting image no longer works and crashes some targets. At the same time gnome-flashback locks up. More details in the upstream bug report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback/-/issues/50 It was fixed in 3.37.1. This is a feature I use daily, and I can imagine many others do too. gnome-flasback has been flagged outdated for a while now, and it seems the maintainer, Balló György has been inactive for some time. Can we get an update for this package? - Roope Salmi

Re: [arch-general] foldingathome-beta setup
by Jude DaShiell 14 May '20

14 May '20

I gave up on foldingathome-beta and installed the foldingathome package. A little more information was in that package for setup. The client was able to find an nvidia GEFORCe gpu on the machine so I enabled the foldingathome-nvidia service and afterwards ran systemctl status foldingathome and no errors this time and the system was given 500,000 steps and had completed 25,000 of them by the end of the status information. If this doesn't break I may be able to put it on a second computer and double my meeger contribution to this effort. --

[arch-general] foldingathome-beta setup
by Jude DaShiell 14 May '20

14 May '20

Is foldingathome-beta looking for the gpu on the motherboard or video card in my computer? When I searched this machine I got an intel with a 9 series number after it along with nvidia nouveau and radeon graphics if memory serves. The radeon graphics would have come up since the video monitor is a radeon 3 series if memory serves. If I can figure out which one to use my guess is delete all other incorrect lines in /opt/fah/GPUs.txt and maybe I get past this gpu error. I'm running foldingathome-beta on command line and was running foldingathome-noroot earlier until that package got replaced by this beta package. --

[arch-general] r8169: transmit queue 0 timed out - dying hardware?
by Bjoern Franke 12 May '20

12 May '20

Hi, a box running Arch on AsRock QC5000-ITXPH has some issues with it's ethernet chipset since several days: https://dpaste.org/hVfk Network is stuck then and it somehow resumes after 1 hour or so. I stumbled upon https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199549, but changing the powermanagement did not help. The issue appears with 5.6.x and also 5.4.x LTS, now even the DHCP request failed after rebooting with 5.6.11. As it appears with both kernel branches, I hardly believe it's a kernel issue. But dying ethernet chipsets on a board? Regards Bjoern

[arch-general] How will Arch handle systemd 245 and homed?
by David C. Rankin 08 May '20

08 May '20

All, I just read the article about the major change coming to systemd 245 at: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/linux-home-directory-management-is-abo… What is terrifying is the SSH Problem. 9/10 hosts I interact with I do via ssh. And do we really need LUKS encrypted volumes for every user's $HOME directory? Sure for enterprise setups, etc.. but will there be a way to simply keep a normal unencrypted /home. How would scripts be able to backup certain work locations from user directories if the user is logged out? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Graceful shutdown Arch Linux
by Ram Kumar 07 May '20

07 May '20

Dear Arch users, I am Ramkumar from India, i use Archlinux with i3 and no login manager. When i try to shutdown the machine, it throws lot of warnings about ethernet port and etc.. and when turning on the machine and open an application, say firefox, it shows like it has been crashed as if it was a forceful shutdown. But i checked it whether firefox is closed before shutting down and it was closed. I am worried whether i am doing some nasty things while shutting the machine down. Could you please help me with some graceful shutdown options for Arch linux? Thanks in advance -Ramkumar
