[arch-general] Which MTA to use to store mails?
by Peter Nabbefeld 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hello, topic is probably not so precise. What I want is the following: - I've got some Email/IMAP account. - My mail is hosted on a server by GMX. - I've got too many Emails on the host. - I don't want to loose any of the emails. - So I will have to install my own mail server, fetching all my emails from the host. - The mail server will then have to interact with my providers server like a client, working as a server for me. I'm sure there're some good servers, but I don't know which one - works as expected, - and is easy to configure. Any help appreciated. Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] XFCE removable storage unmount notification gone
by Paul Marwick 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

I'm running three copies of Arch with XFCE as DE. Recently I've noticed that the normal desktop notification when a removable storage device is unmount has gone. As a test, I turned on auto-mount. When a USB drive is plugged in, I'm still getting mount notifications, but nothing when the device is unmounted. The only indication I see that the device has unmounted is a change to the desktop icon. One of my Arch installs isn't used all that often, so hasn't been updated recently. Its still showing both mount and unmount notifications. Trouble is, I can go for fairly long periods without using removable media, so I've no real idea what update caused the change. No idea how to hunt for it either. Anyone else seeing this behaviour? Any ideas how to fix it? Paul.

[arch-general] Where is paccache
by Zorro 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

Hello, Last Saturday 23/6 I did a pacman -Syu and I found out that afterwards paccache had disappeared. I do every now and then a cleanup of the pacman cache but with paccache disappeared I cannot do that anymore. Is it deprecated ? If so is there an alternative for paccache ? Regards, Harm-Jan Zwinderman

[arch-general] Upgrade to Linux 4.17.2 & xorg-server 1.20.0-8 breaks left-mouse in remote Linux desktops
by David C. Rankin 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

All, This is a strange one, confirmed on two separate Archlinux Guests running in VirtualBox on Archlinux Hosts. I access the running VMs with rdesktop over the LAN. After update to Linux 4.17.2 & xorg-server 1.20.0-8, VirtualBox-5.2.12 starts the Archlinux guests fine, X starts fine in the guests (running fluxbox), and pressing the right-mouse brings up the fluxbox-menu fine, but there is no way to select an item with the left-mouse. The left-mouse click seems to be taken as an escape closing the menu without actually selecting anything. It is as if the left-mouse (and cursor position in general) isn't seen at all (there is no highlight in the menu when the mouse moves over an item) Thankfully, the fluxbox designers made the menu respond to keyboard inputs, so after bringing the fluxbox-menu up, I can up-arrow/down-arrow to an xterm entry and open an xterm by pressing return. When the xterm is open, there is no way to grab the title-bar and move the xterm around, again, as if the left-mouse input isn't seen. An moving the cursor over the bottom of the window will not bring up the taskbar. This effects Linux guest, but not windows guests. I can start Win7 in a VM and opening in remote-desktop works just fine. (all mouse buttons work fine and the cursor position tracks properly bringing up the auto-hidden taskbar on mouseover) Can someone with a similar VirtualBox setup confirm this behavior? I suspect it would effect any Linux Guest that runs X and a desktop and is accessed with rdesktop. For all practical purposes this update prevent accessing Linux guest with rdesktop. I start my virtual machines from a simple bash script using: exec VBoxManage startvm arch_1_64 --type headless (I doubt that makes a difference, but for completeness) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Issue with browser opening in LXDE
by Giovanni Santini (ItachiSan) 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Hi everyone, I am having an issue which is bothering me recently; I have set up properly the default browser within LXDE but the links are not handled properly. What it happens is that I click on a link and a windows opens returning Error: $HOME/$URL: Not existing file or directory Where $HOME is my home path and $URL is the target URL. I have no clue regarding what configuration makes it so. Any suggestions?

[arch-general] List of devices with poor Linux compatibility
by Andrey Ponomarenko 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Hello, A new open project has been created to collect the list of computer hardware devices with poor Linux compatibility based on the Linux-Hardware.org data: https://github.com/linuxhw/HWInfo There are about 29 thousands of depersonalized hwinfo reports (https://github.com/openSUSE/hwinfo) in the repository from Linux-powered computers in various configurations. The device is included into the list of poorly supported devices if there is at least one user probe in which the driver for this device was not found. The column 'Missed' indicates the percentage of such probes. If the number is small, it means that the driver was added in newer versions of the kernel. In this case we show minimal version of the Linux kernel in which the driver was present. Devices are divided into categories. For each category we calculate the ratio of poorly supported devices to the total number of devices tested in this category. Everyone can contribute to this repository by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe Thanks to all for attention and new computer probes!
