"xrefactory" AUR-package submission request to "extra" repository
by Sergei Litvin 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

Good afternoon, I propose to add the following AUR-package, which I currently maintain, to the “extra” repository: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xrefactory It is a code browser tool, similar to the following tools, but more precise because it works on grammar level: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/cscope/ https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ctags/ https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/global/ The "upstream" is no longer maintained, but I have learned the internals and have already made about 30 patches. So, I can fix possible bugs, including parsing C, YACC and Java grammar. This tool could be useful for Linux kernel developers (personally I use it along with cscope). And perhaps if it was in the "extra" repository, it could increase user interest in it. Best regards, Sergei Litvin Tel: +49 176 85283820

pacman via pacstrap
by lacsaP Patatetom 14 Nov '23

hi, I use `pacstrap -U` to install locally forged packages in a dedicated folder. this dedicated folder already contains some files and some of these files are causing problems for `pacstrap -U` (eg. `pacman -U`). i'd like to be able to use `--overwrite` option and pass it from `pacstrap`. is it possible to pass options to `pacman` via `pacstrap` ? regards, lacsaP.

One issue I've had with gitlab is even though it has correct user name and password, it will not login and I've had to use Github credentials to login to the arch gitlab system. (which I do not like) This is after going through successfully adding new SSH key to my account, successfully changing the password for my account, e.g. <quote - updated 9/17/23> Hello, David C. Rankin! The password for your GitLab account on https://gitlab.archlinux.org has successfully been changed. </quote> But it does not work. Every time login fails at: https://accounts.archlinux.org/realms/archlinux/login-actions/authenticate Neither the username 'drankinatty' or the e-mail works. So as Bugtracker is migrated, there may need to be a fix or two for the gitlab logins to work. I still can't login. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

btrfs advice needed
by Jude DaShiell 12 Nov '23

12 Nov '23

I've got a corrupted btrfs partition. Does the archlinux install disk have btrfsck on it? If yes, I'll probably need to run btrfs --repair /dev/sda2 on the system. If repair goes badly, I'll have to reinstall the system. I would like to know how to prevent btrfs corruption in the first place. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Re: Anticipation - Any idea when linux 6.6 will emerge from core-testing? (fwd)

Hi David, not answering your question, but: What speaks against testing with the linux package in core-testing? IIRC, the linux package was one of the packages, that could be up- and down-graded quite independently of all the other packages. regards, Erich On Tue, 7 Nov 2023, David C.

Anticipation - Any idea when linux 6.6 will emerge from core-testing?
by David C. Rankin 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Devs, I've kept an eye on linux-6.6 that hit the core-testing repo on 10/31, but has not yet hit core. Any estimate when that may happen. The only reason for the anxiety is the untested patch for the AUR nvidia-390xx driver and I'd like to have a better idea of when I may need to set triage-time aside for the update. Anybody's crystal-ball working a bit more clearly than mine? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

You boot up and hit downarrow then enter when the hdmi card gets selected for video and no hdmi video is available so no sound. does a quick way to disable hdmi on the system exist that can be used ahead of an actual install? -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
