With a XferCommand, pacman -Sw doesn't download packages sig files
by u34＠net9.ga 03 Dec '22

03 Dec '22

With a XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9451 --silent --show-error --continue-at - --fail-early --fail --output %o %u in pacman.conf, pacman -sync --downloadonly doesn't download packages sig files. Is it because I have not set up a proxy variable? Something else? The pkg.tar.zst is downloaded. Just the detached sig file does not. And there isn't any message to warn about it. Commenting out XferCommand makes the sig files downloaded as well. Manual download also succeed. -- u34

Documentation for Order of HOOKS array in mkinitcpio.conf?
by David C. Rankin 30 Nov '22

30 Nov '22

All, The wiki doesn't have ordering information for the HOOKS scripts, but the comments in mkinitcpio.conf says Ordering in important and cautions against changing from the default order. But, that doesn't account for additional script added that are not in the default HOOKS example. I updated HOOKS from a much earlier version of mkinitcpio.conf to match the new .pacnew file. There keyboard moved from after filesystems to just after blocks. Is there a reference that explains where each script should be placed aside for the note or two in the Common hooks section of the wiki? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Any package providing "ast" firmware?
by Javier 27 Nov '22

27 Nov '22

Hello ! Just as the "subject" indicates, any package providing "ast" firmware? On [1], I don't see it referenced, and "ast" is way too common for a quick search on the repos and AUR, :) Thanks ! -- Javier [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkinitcpio#Possibly_missing_firmware_for_m…

linux 6.0.8: an openssl 1.1 -> openssl 3.0 issue?
by u34＠net9.ga 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

I have the follwoing while trying to make a custom 6.0.8-arch1 linux kernel: Installing modules... INSTALL kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.ko STRIP kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.ko SIGN kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.ko scripts/sign-file: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modinst:83: kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.ko] Error 127 make[1]: *** Deleting file 'kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.ko' make: *** [Makefile:1777: modules_install] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package_linux-custom(). Aborting... Indeed libcrypto.so.1.1 is from openssl 1.1, and there was a switch to openssl 3.0 at the beginning of November 2022. Also could be releveant: $ grep -C3 3.0 scripts/sign-file.c #include <openssl/engine.h> /* * OpenSSL 3.0 deprecates the OpenSSL's ENGINE API. * * Remove this if/when that API is no longer used */ -- u34

Change BTRFS filesystem from R/O back to R/W
by Spencer Collyer 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

Hi, I've hit a problem with a BTRFS filesystem I have on my main machine. It's gone into read-only mode, I suspect because it ran out of disk space when doing a rebalance (it's got v little space left). Looking at the logs I see the following for BTRFS: Nov 15 09:09:35 selket kernel: BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -28) Nov 15 09:09:35 selket kernel: BTRFS: error (device dm-1: state A) in btrfs_finish_ordered_io:3315: errno=-28 No space left Nov 15 09:09:35 selket kernel: BTRFS info (device dm-1: state EA): forced readonly Ironically I was going to shift a large chunk of data off this filesystem onto an external backup disk but hadn't gotten around to doing it. Digging around on the web I've seen suggestions involving unmounting the filesystem, remounting it R/W, removing any unwanted data, then continuing the rebalance. They generally seem to want to add another disk temporarily as well. I don't really want to go to the trouble of temporarily adding a secondary disk only to then remove it again. As I was already planning on moving a bunch of old data off to external backup, I'm wondering if the following would be safe to do: 1) Unmount the filesystem. 2) Remount it as R/W 3) Move data to the external disk 4) Resume the rebalance operation (is this required?) Does that look reasonable? Is there likely to be any problem with moving files off the filesystem when the rebalance operation failed? Thanks for you attention, Spencer

DKIM fail messages
by David Rosenstrauch 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

After posting a message to this list earlier today, I immediately received nearly a dozen DKIM fail messages, all being sent by the "OpenDMARC Filter" at various domains, and all saying that the DKIM fail reason was "signature verification failed". I raised this issue with support at my hosting company, who pointed out that a) my domain's DKIM records are set up correctly, and b) one of the headers on my email that got sent to the list indicated that Arch's mailman actually did successfully verify my domain's DKIM record when it received my email, before forwarding it on. Anyone know why these fail messages might be happening? Is this being caused by a misconfiguration in Arch's mailman installation? Or is this a misconfiguration of the individual OpenDMARC software installations at each of those domains? Thanks, DR

community/virtualbox 7.0.2-2 Windows 11 guest is unresponsive
by Ralf Mardorf 13 Nov '22

Hi, on my machine a Windows 11 guest still worked with [2022-11-01T17:48:40+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox-host-dkms (6.1.40-1 -> 7.0.2-1) [2022-11-01T17:48:40+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox (6.1.40-1 -> 7.0.2-1) [2022-11-01T17:48:40+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox-ext-oracle (6.1.40-1 -> 7.0.2-1) [2022-11-01T17:48:41+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox-guest-iso (6.1.40-1 -> 7.0.2-1) and a self build, rt patched linux 4.19.246_rt110-0.1000. A few settings are: 3D acceleration disable USB 3.0 enabled Network adapter attached to NAT The next time I run it (today) and it always does freeze, with [2022-11-05T11:36:20+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox-host-dkms (7.0.2-1 -> 7.0.2-2) [2022-11-05T11:36:20+0100] [ALPM] upgraded virtualbox (7.0.2-1 -> 7.0.2-2) and a self build, rt patched linux 1:4.19.255_rt113-0.1000 as well as with core/linux 6.0.8.arch1-1 threadirqs (not tested without threadirqs). FWIW I changed USB 3.0 enabled to USB 2.0 enabled, to no avail.
