Postorius configuration help
by Georg 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

Hi list, I'm looking for a good description for postorius configuration. The Arch wiki is unclear to me, and the mailman documentation points to postorius.org configuration, who then points to another mailman doc providing little info on the actual configuration. Long story short, I'm failing to set up postorius so I can create users and let them log in. It would be highly appreciated if someone proficient in this topic is willing to walk me throuh. I'd then amend the wiki for more clarity. Thanks in advance Georg

libjxl upgrade issue
by Brian Allred 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Hey all, After this morning's upgrade, libjxl was upgraded from 0.8.2-2 to 0.9.1-1. This upgrade broke several apps I use regularly, including Telegram and Discord. Downgrading back to 0.8.2-2 solved the problem, but I figured I'd send a heads-up to anyone else scratching their heads like I did for a bit. Brian

Postfix db, cdb, lmdb -- general question
by David C. Rankin 25 Jan '24

25 Jan '24

Devs, The "[Postfix] Warn that databases need regeneration" thread touched on a proposed change from BDB to another, either cdb or lmdb. This loosely mentions "licensing" issues. What licensing issue is the problem? The Oracle open-source license is OSI-certified and permits use of Berkeley DB in open source projects ... https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/related/berkeleydb/berkeleydb-… Is there a question whether Arch or Postfix are open-source? Seems like they certainly qualify. The larger issue is what of other packages using a db backend, like Apache basic auth and the htdbm or dbmmanage tools? This begins to impact a number of server operations if db is dropped and other packages are impacted. This may be a non-issue, but not knowing what all db is integrated with, the prospect of db just going away is a bit concerning. So is this proposed change just for postfix, or could it impact other packages? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[Postfix] Warn that databases need regeneration
by Polarian 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

Hello, I realised overnight I was not receiving emails after the latest version of postfix [1]. This is currently in testing, however I thought it would be best to discuss in the general mailing list instead of #archlinux-testing as it is a larger topic. I searched for a "updating" or "upgrading" documentation from postfix, and read their announcement and no mention was made of this. [2][3] Background behind this, I thought it was weird I didn't receive any emails for 24 hours (spam emails are pretty common, and mailing list emails so this is unheard of), so I checked the logs and found the following after updating: Jan 23 14:43:46 email postfix/trivial-rewrite[1043]: warning: virtual_alias_domains lookup failure Jan 23 14:43:46 email postfix/trivial-rewrite[1043]: warning: virtual_alias_domains: hash:/etc/postfix/virtual: table lookup problem Jan 23 14:43:46 email postfix/trivial-rewrite[1043]: warning: hash:/etc/postfix/virtual is unavailable. open database /etc/postfix/virtual.db: Invalid argument Jan 23 14:43:46 email postfix/trivial-rewrite[1043]: error: open database /etc/postfix/virtual.db: Invalid argument (Note these are in REVERSE order) So I found this pretty weird and checked my config, and checked to see virtual.db existed, which it did, so I decided to just regenerate it (postmap virtual). And it fixed the issue. I then restarted and found this: Jan 23 14:46:55 email postfix/local[1094]: warning: hash:/etc/postfix/aliases: lookup of 'polarian' failed Jan 23 14:46:55 email postfix/local[1094]: warning: hash:/etc/postfix/aliases is unavailable. open database /etc/postfix/aliases.db: Invalid argument And I did the same thing, regenerated aliases.db (postmap aliases). This fixed the issue and I am back to recieving emails, but there was NO warning of the requirement to regenerate the databases, unless it is deeply nested into the documentation somewhere? I have had my email server for years, and I have never had issues with updating, so I do find it a little strange that this update required regeneration of the databases, and there was no warning in the accouncement about it. So I have a few suggestions: - Adding a upgrading note to the ArchWiki article. [4] - Add a echo to warn the user to regenerate the virtual and aliases database in post_upgrade(). [5] And also a few questions: - Does anyone know if there is any source I am missing which warned about the requirement to regenerate the aliases and virtual databases on upgrade? - Did anyone else encounter this issue? (you would need to have testing repository enabled) Take care, -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian(a)icebound.dev [1] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/postfix/-/commit/… [2] https://www.postfix.org/smtp-smuggling.html [3] https://www.postfix.org/announcements/postfix-3.8.5.html [4] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Postfix [5] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/postfix/-/blob/ma…

Thank you Felix for all the work you've done over the years helping to make Arch into what it is today. I wonder if you could share any updates on the maintainer transition and any thoughts around the rather large 3.12 project? I also notice that while many python modules have continued to be updated some have not. Is the thinking perhaps to hold on some, especially perhaps the more complicated ones like pandas, until 3.12 is out? gene

Hi everyone, I installed kicad and kicad-library (7.0.10-1) using pacman. After I launch KiCad and create a new project, I can't find any symbols in the symbol browser. Appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to get this set up. -- Sadeep Madurange PGP: 103BF9E3E750BF7E

Re: Now the last one RTL-SDR Blog V4
by Rein Fernhout (Levitating) 19 Jan '24

The terminal output does suggest your gqrx was compiled with rtlsdr support. Try compiling gqrx-git from the AUR, preferably with rtl-sdr-git installed. Or follow the upstream build instructions. If that doesn't work, I think it's best to submit an issue upstream.[1] [1]: https://github.com/gqrx-sdr/gqrx/issues/new On Wed, 17 Jan 2024 at 13:18, pete <petegn(a)mail.com> wrote: > > On Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:19:55 +0100 > "Rein Fernhout (Levitating)" <me(a)levitati.ng> wrote: > > > Do you have rtl-sdr (or rtl-sdr-git) installed?

nvme disk and system shutdown problem
by Łukasz Michalski 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi, After installing Lexar 710 my system freezes after "Reached target Power Down". Suspend and reboot works ok. I do not use this disk in Arch, it is used for win10/win11. Power down from windows works without problems. I tried to blacklist nvme module - it did not help. I booted arch iso from pendrive and from there "poweroff -f" does not work either, so it looks it is related to kernel? My current kernel is: Linux archdevel 6.6.9-arch1-1, UEFI system (AMD b650m and Ryzen 7800x3d) I would be very grateful for any hints. Łukasz
