can't generate key pair
by Jude DaShiell 18 Jun '24

18 Jun '24

gpg2 --full-gen-key breaks shortly after pass key is entered twice generating a Timeout error. I tried this with complex and simple keys and gpg2 times out in both cases. Would a configuration change help here? -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order."

linux-6.9.4 or firmware broke monitor type/size detection for Dell box?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jun '24

15 Jun '24

Devs, Tonight's update to linux-6.9.4 and the firmware seems to have broken the monitor type/size detection on Arch. I have a older Dell box I use for a media center connected to a Samsung 59" TV. Arch has always properly detected it and configured itself for full HD resolution. After update tonight, it no longer does that. Instead both the console (I use startx) and fluxbox (or any other desktop) boots and starts at 800x600 or so -- which is quite unusable. Has something changed in the kernel image generation or in the new firmware that has caused this? I'm not sure what the dmesg output was before, it always just worked, but now I get: [ 1.574525] i915 0000:00:02.0: vgaarb: deactivate vga console [ 1.600709] tsc: Refined TSC clocksource calibration: 3324.978 MHz [ 1.600721] clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x2fed77ea564, max_idle_ns: 440795278175 ns [ 1.600739] clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc [ 1.608956] sr 3:0:0:0: [sr0] scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray [ 1.608963] cdrom: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 [ 1.609861] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Initialized overlay support.

Nextclount 29.0.2 update - /etc/webapps/nextcloud/.htaccess.pacnew missing Arch webapp config?
by David C. Rankin 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

Devs, Nextcloud 29.0.2 update was released today and the /etc/webapps/.htaccess.pacnew config file is missing the entire config for the Archlinux webapp install. Applying the .htaccess.pacnew results in not being able to access the server with a forbidden error: [Thu Jun 06 20:58:10.130910 2024] [autoindex:error] [pid 17794] [client 192.168.6.104:52498] AH01276: Cannot serve directory /usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/apps/dashboard/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive The upper part is the same, but the lines from the bottom are removed: --- .htaccess.20240523 2024-06-06 20:55:04.132401657 -0500 +++ .htaccess.20240606 2024-06-06 08:57:25.000000000 -0500 @@ -108,29 +108,3 @@ AddDefaultCharset utf-8 Options -Indexes -#### DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE #### - -ErrorDocument 403 /nextcloud/index.php/error/403 -ErrorDocument 404 /nextcloud/index.php/error/404 -<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> - Options -MultiViews - RewriteRule ^core/js/oc.js$ index.php [PT,E=PATH_INFO:$1] - RewriteRule ^core/preview.png$ index.php [PT,E=PATH_INFO:$1] - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(css|js|mjs|svg|gif|png|html|ttf|woff2?|ico|jpg|jpeg|map|webm|mp4|mp3|ogg|wav|flac|wasm|tflite)$ - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/core/ajax/update\.php - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/core/img/(favicon\.ico|manifest\.json)$ - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(cron|public|remote|status)\.php - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/ocs/v(1|2)\.php - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/robots\.txt - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(ocs-provider|updater)/ - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/(acme-challenge|pki-validation)/.* - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/richdocumentscode(_arm64)?/proxy.php$ - RewriteRule . index.php [PT,E=PATH_INFO:$1] - RewriteBase /nextcloud - <IfModule mod_env.c> - SetEnv front_controller_active true - <IfModule mod_dir.c> - DirectorySlash off - </IfModule> - </IfModule> -</IfModule> Restoring the .htaccess from the 5/23 update to 29.0.1 fixes the issue. Is this intended and are we supposed to reconfigure for this point release in some other way? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nextcloud is silent and there was no install notice during the pacman update? If I'm supposed to reconfigure something and put the webapp config for Arch somewhere else, just let me know where. The nextcould forum isn't useful for the webapp install approach. -- David C.

virtualbox 7.0.16 and Windows 11 guest
by Ralf Mardorf 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

Hi, today I removed virtualbox6.1-bin 6.1.50 and installed virtualbox 7.0.16, because 6.1.50 doesn't work anymore [1] and I got rid of fixing virtualbox 6+ again and again. Doing a first short test a Windows 10 guest seems to run, but a Windows 11 guest seems to cause issues, at least a shutdown of the Windows 11 guest with _not_ updated guest additions didn't finish and locked the host or rather it was possible to push Ctrl+Alt+F2 and to run pkill VirtualBoxVM to get back a responding Arch Linux host. For other reasons I'm restoring another backup of Windows 11, which will take more than an hour, since the the vdi's size is > 700 GiB, so in the meantime I want to gather information. I will take a look at the settings mentioned by the Arch Wiki [2], [3]. Are there more settings I can check? It's an Intel CPU wit integrated GPU. • rocketmouse@archlinux ~ $ hwinfo --cpu | sort -u | grep Model Model: 6.191.5 "13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-13100" • rocketmouse@archlinux ~ $ hwinfo --memory | grep Size Memory Size: 32 GB Regards, Ralf [1] "Could you still start Windows guests with virtualbox6.1-bin 6.1.50-1 or do you also experience guru meditations? I'm currently trying extra/virtualbox 7.0.16-1, which gets rid of the gurus, but so far a Windows 11 guest is not doing well." - https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/virtualbox6.1-bin#comment-968033 [2] "4.11.1 Creating the virtual machine A VirtualBox virtual machine must be manually created.

qemu, aarch64, binfmt: can the execution speed be improved?
by SET 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

Hello, I followed the instructions at https://nerdstuff.org/posts/ 2020/2020-003_simplest_way_to_create_an_arm_chroot/ and successfully chroot'ed in the generic aarch64 image available at https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/generic on a host running x86_64 arch. I installed qemu-user-static and qemu-user-static-binfmt, restarted systemd- binfmt as advised and the chroot worked using arch-chroot. The slow execution speed has been surprising, I would say roughly 10 times slower than on native x86_64 (building a library, 53 mins instead of < 5). I understand that there's an overhead translation instructions for another architecture. qemu is always advertised as a *fast* emulator, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something. I wish to know if there's some way to speed up execution time in the chroot, some magic configuration to apply. That's my first attempt in this direction. Thank you for any input.

jellyfin-server and jellyfin-web packages seem unmaintained
by Florian Wetzel 27 May '24

27 May '24

Hi there, I am not sure how to handle this problem, but I know that I am not the only person that has this problem. Currently, the packages /jellyfin-server/ and /jellyfin-web /are one stable release (10.8.13 -> 10.9.0) and multiple bugfix versions (latest version is 10.9.3) behind. While 10.9.0 was released "just" two weeks ago, this still brings some new features that might be required by other packages. What would be the appropriate action if the current maintainer does not release a update soon? Regards, Florian

Nextcloud 29 update, web server cannot resolve /.well-known/webfinger
by David C. Rankin 20 May '24

20 May '24

The following new error/warning is received in the Admin settings after upgrade: Your web server is not properly set up to resolve `.well-known` URLs, failed on: `/.well-known/webfinger` For more details see the documentation ↗. The documentation suggests adding rewrite rules, e.g. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^\.well-known/carddav /nextcloud/remote.php/dav [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^\.well-known/caldav /nextcloud/remote.php/dav [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^\.well-known/webfinger /nextcloud/index.php/.well-known/webfinger [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^\.well-known/nodeinfo /nextcloud/index.php/.well-known/nodeinfo [R=301,L] </IfModule> https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/29/admin_manual/issues/general_troublesho… However, adding the settings to httpd-local.conf and reloading makes no difference. Note: caldav and carddav are handled in /etc/webapps/nextcloud/.htaccess Why isn't webfinger handled there? This has to be set by the package as modifying the file manually triggers a hash violation on the modified file. (that can be worked around, but it's a hack) Is this something that needs to be raised as a bug? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

ipset v7.21 update - package stop / start exits with failure - but ipset is still running?
by David C. Rankin 20 May '24

20 May '24

Devs, ipset was updated after a recent minor bug with save was fixed. The updated package was installed today. Restarting fails with an error code due to: May 16 14:14:31 valkyrie ipset[62200]: ipset v7.21: Set cannot be destroyed: it is in use by a kernel component May 16 14:14:31 valkyrie systemd[1]: ipset.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE The start process then fails: May 16 14:14:31 valkyrie ipset[62203]: ipset v7.21: Error in line 1: Set cannot be created: set with the same name already exists May 16 14:14:31 valkyrie systemd[1]: ipset.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE The result is fail2ban is left shutdown after the attempted stop of ipset and its failure to start. Is this a new bug, or is something else wrong? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
