Since the update of openrc to 0.28-11 this morning something fails during boot process as I get the following error message:

Cowardly refusing to concatenate a logfile into itself.
Please change rc_log_path to something other than /var/log/rc.log get rid of this message

But why would I do that?

Besides, once the boot process is finished, I am unable to switch between TTY consoles as I used to using Ctrl-Alt + F1-Fx. I don’t get the login prompt anymore.

Description:

With the latest release of the kernel, xwindow does not start anymore. I had to revert to 4.9.143.

Additional info:
* package version(s): linux-libre-lts-4.9.150_gnu-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Steps to reproduce:

Upgrade to the following:
- linux-libre-lts-4.9.150_gnu-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
- linux-libre-lts-headers-4.9.150_gnu-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
- acpi_call-lts-1.1.0-42.hyperbola34.6-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

And try to start xwindow

As the default path of the ServerBin directory is now /usr/libexec/bin:
1. cups-files.conf should be modified/adapted accordingly.
2. The contents of /usr/lib/cups which is currently owned by cups-filters, cups-pdf foomatic-db-engine and smbclient should be moved to /usr/libexec/cups.

As it is, cups doesn’t work in v0.3.

This morning while I was working on my X200, I noticed that my CPU was kept 100% busy for a long time by some process which was obvioulsy eating up the battery life. The culprit was pacman-key, triggered by logrotate.

To stop this, I did ‘chmod -x /etc/cron.daily/pacman-key’ and I rebooted.

Later on, it was impossible to install a new package as it was impossible to get over the step marked as “checking keys in keyring...”

So I tried to do again ‘pacman-key –refresh-keys’: the overall process took more than an hour—behind a fast and robust internet connection. I finally got three lines, saying that about 1,000 keys were updated but I never got the prompt back. So I hit Ctrl-C.

At the time of writing, I am still trying to refresh the keys—a quite desperate attempt, if I may say so.

Although I tagged this report as a “Feature request”, it is in my opinion of quite some importance. I understand very well the absolute necessity to always have the keys updated, but in this particular case, with so many keys and so frequent updates, I begin to wonder if losses are not beginning to prevail over benefits.

Unless I am doing something wrong or missing something I should do?

Any help would be strongly appreciated.

Since the update to 0.3.9 (or the update of girara to 0.2.9), zathura-pdf-poppler returns the following error:

error: Could not load plugin '/usr/lib/zathura/ps.so' (libgirara-gtk3.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory).

In `/etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog`, line 5:

/usr/bin/killall -HUP /usr/bin/rsyslogd

should now read as follows:

/usr/bin/killall -HUP /usr/sbin/rsyslogd

I may be wrong as I did not migrate to 0.3 yet, but I think that `msmtp` has been forgotten and needs to be recompiled with `libressl`.

Please remove this report if I am wrong.

I may be wrong for I did not migrate to 0.3 as of yet, but I think that `msmtp` has been forgotten and needs to be recompiled with `libressl`.

Please remove this report if I am mistaken.

Please remove this report if I am mistaken.

From what I can see, `msmtp` still needs to be recompiled with `libressl`. Please remove this report if I am mistaken.

I know that upgrading Qt is not a trivial task, but would it be possible to do this anyway? Qt 5.8 has issues that other versions do not have. See for example the discussion here about Projecteur, a very useful tool. Hyperbola seems to be the only Linux distribution unable to run it, just because of Qt 5.8:

https://github.com/jahnf/Projecteur/issues/26

The current version of BleachBit needs to be adapted so it can clean the new .cache/hyperbola/ directory.

systemd support should be removed from tlp. I understand that it should start automatically under OpenRC.

Description:
notmuch-mutt fails to compile without perl-mail-message which is missing in Hyperbola

Steps to reproduce:
Install notmuch-mutt and try `notmuch-mutt` at the command line. Then install `perl-mail-message` from Arch and try again.

Description:

Since the latest update of openrc, I am under the impression that the scripts in /etc/local.d are not executed anymore upon boot or shutdown. rc.log shows nothing though.

Additional info:
* openrc 0.28-18

Steps to reproduce:

Write a dummy script which says hello in /etc/local.d, make it executable and see that it is discarded.

Latest samba has wrong permissions on /etc/conf.d folder, that is 644 whereas it should be 755.

By default, the ‘disable-publishing’ parameter in the [publish] section of avahi-daemon.conf is set to ‘no’, which can be seen in my opinion as a privacy issue as avahi broadcasts the hostname without the user’s consent even though this has been explicitly disabled in the settings of networkmanager.

I think that line 12 of this file should be:

CMD_GRPCK="/usr/bin/grpck -r"

instead of:

CMD_GRPCK"/usr/bin/grpck -r"

What I miss very much is “mail merge”. For example, I had to send 102 personalized emails to my students, as the term is beginning. The only way to do that was to revert to the previous non-uxp icedove.

But but immediately after that, I reinstalled icedove-uxp, of course!

Another very useful addon is cardbook (or any equivalent) as it allows to work with remote calendars and contacts.

Actually, I don’t like to work with remote calendars or contacts. But some of my colleagues do. The only condition I set is to work with trustworthy providers using free software exclusively. But they do exist.

Steps to reproduce:
Open from the command line any pdf file with either `zathura-pdf-poppler` or `zathura-pdf-mupdf`, then hit `q` to quit and the terminal will show the following error:

** (zathura:<PID>): CRITICAL **: girara_list_foreach: assertion 'list && list->start && callback' failed

Description:
Something is wrong with the latest version packaged in Hyperbola. zathura-pdf-poppler is unable to process apostrophes displayed in pdf bookmarks.

Steps to reproduce:
Open any pdf file which has a summary included, then hit `Tab` to display the summary. Instead of apostrophes, zathura-pdf-poppler displays html entities while the output of zathura-pdf-mupdf is correct.
