Hello,

gparted_polkit doesn’t work, error message (polkit is installed on my system)

Error executing command as another user: No authentication agent found.

If using :

sudo gparted

or

gksu gparted

It works. By default with xfce, the gparted launcher uses gparted_polkit though.

On a fresh install, the system wide locale is not working with lightdm.
According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Wrong_locale_displayed

One needs to set the LANG variable in /etc/environment to have lightdm in desired language.

Example :

LANG=pt_PT.utf8

Could it be possible to implement a mechanism to automatically add the LANG variable set in /etc/locale.conf to /etc/environement when one install lightdm ?

It is not technically a bug but it could be handy to new users.

cowsay (cowsay-3.03-9.hyperbola1) is missing perl-text-charwidth dependency

Error message :

“Can’t locate Text/CharWidth.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Text::CharWidth module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at /usr/bin/cowsay line 14.

After installing perl-text-charwidth, it works fine.

### Some context ###

I use hdajackretask on my G41M-ES2L motherboard (Libreboot)

Alsamixer doesn’t offer automute feature so every time I plug my headphones, the sound is playing by my speakers.
So to work around this, I use hdajackretask from alsa-tools package.

It allows to install a boot override to solve the issue.

Yesterday, I reinstalled Hyperbola on my system and the boot override because of missing /lib/firmware directory. (Although it was present before, something changed ?)

The error message was (I translate)

/mv: can't move '/tmp/hda-jack-retask-VH3KIZ/hda-jack-retask.fw' to /lib/firmware/hda-jack-retask.fw' No file or folder of this type

So I created a folder “firmware” in /lib/
and copied hda-jack-retask.fw in it.

Then I rebooted, 100% working.

I don’t know if the fix should apply to the PKGBUILD of alsa-tools (to create a /lib/firmware directory) or something else ?

Hello,

I recently acquired a T400 Thinkpad with 1440×900 panel.
On this T400, I installed Hyperbola, just like on my x200 Thinkpad with 1280×800 panel.

Both Thinkpad are running the same Hyperbola installation :

Full disk encryption (with Libreboot) so both Thinkpad are using early KMS (MODULES=”i915” in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf)
Same kernel : linux-libre-lts (4.9.99 at the moment I’m writing this message)
video driver : modesetting
DE : xfce4 with xfwm4

On the Thinkpad x200, everything works great, no issue to report.

On the T400 though, the linux-libre-lts kernel, I’m getting random display freezes, when it happens, this message appears in dmesg :

hpd interrupt storm detected on connector hdmi-a-1

And the display (and sound) freezes for 10 seconds (sometimes more !)

As Hyperbola proposes linux-libre-lts kernel only, I installed latest linux-libre-lts (4.14.40) and linux-libre (4.16.8) from Parabola GNU/Linux repo.

Results :

With 4.14.40 : Same issue as with 4.9.99 kernel from Hyperbola repo.
With 4.16.8 : Issue is not present ! No more freeze !

I’m not sure how to proceed though. Would you be kind enough helping me to find which commit in i915 driver improved the situation ? If we find it, maybe it could be added as a patch to 4.9.x kernel series.
Or maybe it is something else.. I don’t have much experience, I can provide logs if needed.

Thanks for your help

Description:

I ran sensors-detect, it detected two modules :

coretemp
it87

Those have been added to /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors :

# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/lm_sensors and defines the modules to
# be loaded/unloaded.
#
# The format of this file is a shell script that simply defines variables:
# HWMON_MODULES for hardware monitoring driver modules, and optionally
# BUS_MODULES for any required bus driver module (for example for I2C or SPI).

HWMON_MODULES="coretemp it87"

But only coretemp is loaded at boot.

I can manually load it87 module (modprobe it87) and get all sensors working but for some reason it87 module is not loaded at boot.

Hello,

With iceweasel-uxp, some info boxes are not translated, for now I noticed that when the mouse cursor hovers “add tab” element, the info box showing up is still using english (although I’m using French and the rest is ok), this is very, very minor issue I know.. :o)

See picture attached

With latest iceweasel-uxp, I can’t connect to some HTTPS websites :

For example :

https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/ is an example

SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

When I try to mount an ISO file or IMG file (with right-click, “open with disk image mounter” on XFCE4) it fails, the following error message appears :

Hello,

octopi-notifier is not starting / running on my system, when I try to run it manually in a terminal, here is the output :

Aborting notifier as 'pacmanhelper' DBus service could not be found! [ "/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.octopi.pacmanhelper.service" ]

I don’t know if this is applicable / related but I found this on aur website : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octopi/

kikadf :

Default build octopi-notifier without knotifications support. To enable edit PKGBUILD, uncomment #USE_NOTIFIER='1'

PS : I’m using XFCE4 autostart to start octopi-notifier (See screenshot attached)

A very nasty bug I wasn’t able to find an answer to.
I compiled stuff (buildroot) using menuconfig, the menu display was fine in xfce4-terminal (See screenshot #1)
I restarted the config a few days later with the same command :

$ make menuconfig

and this time the display was messed up (See screenshot #2)

After investigation, I noticed a directory (filled with stuff) have been created in my home folder :

.terminfo

I don’t know why. But anyway, if I delete it, then the display is ok again.
I noticed that if I use good old xterm terminal, then the display is fine even if the .terminfo directory is present. (it uses “xterm” instead of xterm-256color)

But, with xfce4-terminal (and others, I tried with gnome-terminal, sakura..), the display is messed up if the .terminfo directory is present in my home folder.

I also noticed that if I run the command in a screen session, the issue is not present.

(I open xfce4-terminal)

$ screen
$ printenv TERM
screen.xterm-256color
$ make menuconfig (or htop, or other program using ncurses)

= display ok

but with default :

(I open xfce4-terminal)

$ printenv TERM
xterm-256color
make menuconfig (or htop, or other program using ncurses)

= display messed up if .terminfo directory is present

So I have no idea why this .terminfo directory is generated. What could trigger its generation ? Is that an issue with ncurses or something else ?

Thanks for your help

What do you think ? Avideo is not updated anymore, can’t we use regular youtube-dl instead as RMS himself say :

“youtube-dl is okay to be in the Directory because it does not actually execute nonfree JS as we first suspected.”

Since python-pip and python2-pip have been removed, I can’t install python2-reportlab because python2-pip is a dependency of this package.

With kodi 17.1-2.hyperbola1 “The Movie Database” scraper doesn’t work. The error message is :

"Unable to connect to remote server"

With latest 0.3 hyperbola, with the (simple) following partitioning :

/ (ext4)
/swap

The standard HOOK in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

"HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"

fails to include crc32c_generic module, resulting in non bootable system.

The generated fallback initramfs include it though.

The issue was not present with 0.2.9, with the exact same partitioning.

Also, the optional dependencies are correctly installed :

This was working fine previously (with 0.2.9) so I don’t know why this isn’t working anymore. As said previously, my config hasn’t changed.

g4jc suggested to drop PGO as it could be the culprit.

https://forums.hyperbola.info/viewtopic.php?pid=1149#p1149

Regarding addons, I'm fairly certain flipping the switch on PGO (which makes the browser faster at the expense of wrecking code) is the culprit. We were warned not to use it, and this is planned to be rolled back.

However, Hyperbot has to be scheduled to rebuild the packages and I do not set it's schedule. Will advise.
