[arch-general] Comment on dovecot 2.3.17 in testing
by Genes Lists 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

Just sharing my experience with this update. I'm aware that there have been quite a few folks with troubles as reported on the dovecot mailing list. My own experience was a) dovecot itself worked with no problems at all. b) I did however have pigeonhole failing which was perplexing - however restarting dovecot a second time got the sieve working and over the last half day or so everything is working well. I have noticed for users with no sieve script there remained some fails running the default sieve script. I am recompiling that script (sievec) manually to see if that helps. gene

[arch-general] fetchmail/exim line length messages
by David Rosenstrauch 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

My email processing system has suddenly started throwing error messages on line lengths recently: fetchmail: SMTP error: 550 maximum allowed line length is 998 octets, got 1047 fetchmail: mail from MAILER-DAEMON@<my email server> bounced to bounces+11930396-d424-darose=darose.net(a)sendgrid.meetup.com fetchmail: SMTP listener refused delivery The messages seem to be generated by exim. (I have fetchmail configured to pull my emails in from my ISP's mail drop, and deliver them to my exim daemon.) I've received a number of these in recent days. The first one occurred on Nov. 20 at about 9.30am (EST). I'm not sure what, if anything, has changed recently to start causing this. Anyone else run into this recently, or know what the issue might be? Thanks, DR

[arch-general] Arch Linux accessibility install: audio doesn't work!
by John Berden 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Hello! So! When I was able to install Arch Linux on a virtual machine with ArchInstall script, I decided to install it on my real pc. I use Acer Nitra 5 laptop with the following parameters: Six-core Intel i5-11400H System board chipset Intel Tiger Point HM570, Intel Tiger Lake-H DIMM1: Samsung M471A1K43EB1-CWE DIMM3: Samsung M471A1K43EB1-CWE Integrated video Intel(R) UHD Graphics Discrete video NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU I'm blind, for this reason, I should use Espeak during installation. So. I downloaded Arch Linux on my USB device. Chose the USB in boot menu, pressed the down arrow and ENTER, and the sound doesn't work! On the virtual machine I did the same. It should be added that with other Linux distributions and operating systems on this USB device everything works. As I understand it, the console opens, since the reboot command works. I tried to use USB headset, it doesn't work too. What can I try to do? Thanks in advance!

[arch-general] PKGBUILD - clamav 0.103.4 - source .tar.gz downloads fine, .tar.gz.sig is 403? (same with Arch package)
by David C. Rankin 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

I'm toying with a clamav-lts for the extended support of 0.104 and I have a strange problem downloading the signature file that results in a 403 permission issue from curl, but downloading directly from the clamav directory (with the same link) works? Short version: pkgname=clamav-lts pkgver=0.103.4 ... source=(https://www.clamav.net/downloads/production/${pkgname%-lts}-${pkgve… ... taken directly from the 0.103.3 PKGBUILD. >From the command line both curl and wget fail with the same issue. The official Arch clamav for 0.104.1 retrieved tonight with asp export shows the same behavior when trying to build the package. Am I missing a key or signature. I thought that any user should be able to asp export clamav and then 'makepkg -g' and retrieve the source files? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Kernel regression? [ata1.00: Read log page 0x08 failed, Emask 0x1]
by riveravaldez 24 Nov '21

Hi, I got this: $ sudo journalctl -b -exp3 (...) nov 19 02:06:41 arch kernel: ata1.00: Read log page 0x08 failed, Emask 0x1 nov 19 02:06:41 arch kernel: ata1.00: Read log page 0x08 failed, Emask 0x1 (...)

My case: $ uname -a Linux arch 5.15.2-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri, 12 Nov 2021 19:22:10 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux Not sure where to mention this (if should, anyway). Thanks a lot, kind regards.

by Paul M. Foster 20 Nov '21

Folks: I've installed the popa3d POP server for my LAN from the AUR. i can launch it as a daemon from the command line, but it would be better if I could have systemd do it. Unfortunately, I have no experience with systemd service files. Does anyone have one for this package? Paul

by Fabiano Furtado Pessoa Coelho 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Hi.... Why is Arch Linux core repository still using glibc version 2.33? Why not upgrade the core repository to version 2.34, since it was flagged out-of-date on 2021-08-02? Thanks.
