Current VLC version (3.0.4-3.hyperbola1.backports1) fails to play DVB stream using a RTL2832 usb dongle.

I start the playlist like this :

vlc channels.conf

but it returns the following error :

cache_block stream error: cannot pre fill buffer

Also, it asks the user to be in “video” group to access DVB device, this was not needed before with Hyperbola 0.2.9. User being in “wheel” was enough.
Anyway, even after adding my user to video group, it still fails with “cache_block stream error: cannot pre fill buffer”

This is not an issue with my DVB adapter or driver. rtl2832 is correctly loaded. And I can play the channels.conf playlist just fine with “mpv” or “mplayer”.
Also, the channels.conf used works just fine with a more recent version of VLC on an other system (Manjaro) so something is broken with the current VLC used.

Maybe a package bump would fix the issue.

rrip_gui does not work. The fix is to install cairo-gobject which is not in the repos. Attached is a working PKGBUILD adapted from the official one.

Description:
The sshguard package should have its /usr/bin/sshguard executable in /usr/sbin, has systemd service files and no OpenRC init script

Additional info:
* sshguard-2.0.0-4
* when I run `sshguard`:

# sshguard
/usr/bin/sshguard: line 87: /usr/bin/journalctl: No such file or directory

* default /etc/sshguard.conf

LOGREADER="LANG=C /usr/bin/journalctl -afb -p info -n1 -t sshd -o cat"
BLACKLIST_FILE=120:/var/db/sshguard/blacklist.db
BACKEND="/usr/lib/sshguard/sshg-fw-iptables"

(commenting the first line temporally solves the issue)

Description:
This package has a strong systemd integration. It has a systemd backend to get files modifications:

(from /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf)

# systemd:   uses systemd python library to access the systemd journal.
#              Specifying "logpath" is not valid for this backend.
#              See "journalmatch" in the jails associated filter config

and many files at /etc/fail2ban/filter.d have systemd stuff

[/etc/fail2ban/filter.d] [0]
$ grep -i systemd *
dovecot.conf:#journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=dovecot.service
ejabberd-auth.conf:# Notes.:  systemd journalctl style match filter for journal based backend
postfix.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=postfix.service
postfix-sasl.conf:#journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=postfix.service
pure-ftpd.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=pure-ftpd.service + _COMM=pure-ftpd
recidive.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=fail2ban.service PRIORITY=5
sshd.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service + _COMM=sshd
sshd-ddos.conf:journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service + _COMM=sshd

Additional info:
* fail2ban-0.9.6-2.hyperbola3

Description:
The /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/dovecot.conf file has a failregex with the following:

^%(__prefix_line)s(?:auth|auth-worker\(\d+\)): (?:pam|passwd-file)\(\S+,<HOST>\): unknown user\s*$

and works with things like:

Month day time hostname dovecot: auth: passwd-file(user@domain.com,IP): unknown user

but with verbosity enabled in Dovecot, this output looks like this:

Month day time hostname dovecot: auth: passwd-file(user@domain.com,IP): unknown user (given password: password)

and in this case it doesn’t work, but it does if we fix the failregex if we replace it with:

^%(__prefix_line)s(?:auth|auth-worker\(\d+\)): (?:pam|passwd-file)\(\S+,<HOST>\): unknown user( \(given password: \S*\))?\s*$

with this new expression, it works with and without verbosity

And regarding postfix, to make it work correctly I “backported” some pieces from newest failregex:

/etc/fail2ban/postfixr-rbl.conf:

^%(__prefix_line)sNOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from \S+\[<HOST>\]: [45]54 [45]\.7\.1 Service unavailable; Client host \[\S+\] blocked using .* from=<\S*> to=<\S+> proto=ESMTP helo=<\S*>$

/etc/fail2ban/postfix.conf: (second failregex)

^%(__prefix_line)sNOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from \S+\[<HOST>\]: 45[04] 4\.7\.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your (reverse )?hostname, (\[\S*\]); from=<\S*> to=<\S+> proto=ESMTP helo=<\S*>$

I can create a patch if you want. Note that I haven’t tested all filters, some others may also need some rework

When i try to set the brightness on my screen, with xbacklight -set 100,

it does this:

No outputs have backlight property

and it doesn’t really matter if I set it lower than 100 or what it currently is at.

Fix when you can please!

It appears when I plug in my libreboot laptop x200 in, it appears to dim the screen and when its unplugged, the screen is bright again. Something peculiar is at work, I wondered if this could be fixed.

My assumption is it is related to lxdm or lightdm. Any thoughts?

I am currently using 0.4, so I don’t expect this to be a fast process, just when you get a chance okay?

When using the package for wireless connections no further icon is displayed without having the package [b]network-manager-applet[/b] installed.

Description: Since the migration to xenocara there seems to be a bug with applications using GTK-2. From time to time there are crashes with assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost’.

Looking into this a little bit more deep there are also other distributions affected and this is an upstream-bug. But the concrete situation is not that easy, while it could be also part of the library libX11 itself. Looking therefore here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/1782984

Affected are for example LXDE in general, icedove, iceweasel and many more!

Hi,

My email server (riseup.net) fails to deliver emails to hyperbola.info. Here’s the error message coming in the returned email:

This problem did not occur last time I sent emails to a hyperbola.info account (December 2019).
It does not happen with any other destination email server. My guess is that something isn’t properly configured in your server.
If you conclude that this is a riseup.net problem, let me know and I’ll open a bug report with them.

According to : https://github.com/thestinger/hardening-wrapper-deprecated

Wrapper scripts for building hardened executables by default (deprecated, replaced by standard Arch Linux toolchain changes)

osdbattery is (probably) useless and broken so Conky did compete because It is still unmaintained and unsupported over 14 years ago (last released version 1.4 on August 23, 2005), and should be removed per anti-abandonware rule at the packaging guidelines.

Also, the default config file contains non-libre/free Microsoft font Verdana as X11 font format property in font variable.

I use Nextcloud for syncing, although, I would normally not ask for this, due to Nextcloud’s appimage being available, but for some reason the latest version doesn’t work on hyperbola. So... yeah.

Usually Nextcloud’s appimage works regardless of what packages you have, so I guess in essence... add Nextcloud-client package to this system is my request.

I have noticed that the version of scribus that is available in hyperbola does not have the option of spelling correction and by references of the official scribus channel indicate that scribus has to be built with hunspell. I do not understand how that is done, I just need to be able to correct spelling from scribus.

PyBitmessage is a secure p2p e-mail alternative. It could be useful to package it.

https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage/releases https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pybitmessage/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pybitmessage-git/ (contains a firejail profile)

this package is under gpl3. It is the most reasonable chess game because it can be easy or hard depending on your preference.

https://github.com/ruediger/VobSub2SRT

VobSub2SRT is a simple command line program to convert .idx / .sub subtitles into .srt text subtitles by using OCR. It is based on code from the MPlayer project - a really really great movie player. Some minor parts are copied from ffmpeg/avutil headers. Tesseract is used as OCR software.

vobsub2srt is released under the GPL3+ license. The MPlayer code included is GPL2+ licensed.

The quality of the OCR depends on the text in the subtitles. Currently the code does not use any preprocessing. But I’m currently looking into adding filters and scaling options to improve the OCR. You can correct mistakes in the .srt files with a text editor or a special subtitle editor.

Attached is a working PKGBUILD for the latest stable version.

slim-themes seems to be considered free according to Parabola - they have an issue with arch branding (slim-themes::::[branding][:package] has “archlinux” theme) which they resolve be creating the package parabola-themes-slim. Perhaps this can be the basis for hyperbola branded themes.

https://git.parabola.nu/blacklist.git/plain/blacklist.txt https://www.parabola.nu/packages/libre/x86_64/parabola-themes-slim/

I could not find any regarding using arch or other branded themes. Parabola apparently rebrands some stuff in their libre repository, eg. they have their own parabola-themes-slim package for slim based themes.

I would like this, because, it looks even better than xfce4. It does use an older qt3 though, BUT, they are maintaining QT3 and improving it themselves.

Plus, its more lightweight than xfce4 and maybe even lxqt too without looking like crap like lxqt and yet still is better than a WM.

I know you don’t like stuff that is abandonware in any sense, but given its being maintained, I hope you will add it.

But let me know.

When you add Lumina desktop, add this package for sure. Although it is compatible with other desktops too. So it would be good to add it regardless.

its like Lumina Desktop, but its more lightweight and better for Gnu/Linux

Matter of fact, I hope its okay, but the latest stable build, of Draco is vastly better than Lumina. And for this reason I wanted to know if you could put higher priority on this than the Lumina Desktop request.
