[arch-general] interesting /etc/locale.conf situation
by Jude DaShiell 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

Kernel in use is 5.3.5 with I think all of the current systemd stuff installed last night. when I run cpanp I get warnings from perl stating setting locale failed and listing variables that are unset. However if I run source /etc/locale.conf then run cpanp, no warnings appear. What did I do wrong with this installation? grep -inv "^#" /etc/locale.gen shows only line 176 as being uncommented. localectl list-locales also shows that same value and no more than that value. --

Re: [arch-general] `base` group replaced by mandatory `base` package - manual intervention required
by Marc Ranolfi 13 Oct '19

13 Oct '19

> The `base` group has been replaced by a metapackage of the same name, we advise users to install this package (`pacman -Syu base`), as it is effectively mandatory from now on. Please, was this discussed somewhere? I want to know the details, and gather what is needed to update the 'Installation guide' article in the wiki. In particular, I want to understand why essential packages for new installations, such as the kernel and a text editor, are not included (actually I see the kernel is an optional dependency). Thanks, Marc

[arch-general] `base` group replaced by mandatory `base`, package - manual intervention required
by John Crist 12 Oct '19

I've submitted `base-extras` to the AUR at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/base-extras/ that contains the missing packages from `base` if someone REALLY wants it.

[arch-general] SIgned Kernel Modules - new wiki page
by Genes Lists 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Since the kernel now separates verification of signed modules from the enforcement policy whether to allow unverified modules to be loaded or now I thought it's time to explore. The enforcement policy can be compiled in or turned on at run time via boot option to kernel. I now have it working to sign all the in tree modules as well as the out of tree modules. In my case I'm signing virtualbox and wireguard. In case it's helpful I created a wiki page outlining what I did to get this working. Hope it's useful. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Signed_kernel_modules gene

[arch-general] trouble upgrading knewstuff
by Wilhelm Boltz 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

Hello, after upgrading my system yesterday plasma didn't work properly, the dektop didn't show wallpapers but remained black, dolphin and kontact didn't start, due to undefinded symbol in libKF5NewStuffCore.so.5.62.0. I temporarily solved the problem by downgrading the package to version 5.20.0. Maybe someone can fix the problem in version 5.62.0? Kind regards Will

[arch-general] Broken dependency in extra - java-openjfx
by Ralf Mardorf 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

Hi, to update my install I needed to remove java-openjfx. Probably an unneeded package, however, it's still provided by extra. Should I open a bug report or is fixing it already in the pipeline? There's an outdated package in testing since 2019-08-20, too. $ sudo pacman -Syu [snip] looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: installing jre-openjdk (13.u33-1) breaks dependency 'java-runtime-openjdk=12' required by java-openjfx $ pactree -r java-openjfx java-openjfx "Required By (0)" - https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=java-openjfx Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] pacman -Syu - Running post-transaction hooks... error: command failed to execute correctly
by David C. Rankin 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

All, Not sure if this is important or not, but I thought I would pass it along. During update tonight, when the post-transaction hooks ran, I received the following related to creating temporary files: :: Running post-transaction hooks... ( 1/16) Creating system user accounts... ( 2/16) Reloading system manager configuration... ( 3/16) Creating temporary files... error: command failed to execute correctly ( 4/16) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate... ( 5/16) Updating linux-lts module dependencies... <snip> There is nothing in /var/log/pacman.log related to this error. Is it important? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
