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.

Hello,

When mounting an NFS share, I get a warning about missing idmpad.conf

rpc.idmapd: Skipping configuration file "/etc/idmapd.conf": No such file or directory
4341: * Stopping idmapd ...

Debian includes a default config file for idmap :

[General]

Verbosity = 0
Pipefs-Directory = /run/rpc_pipefs
# set your own domain here, if id differs from FQDN minus hostname
# Domain = localdomain

[Mapping]

Nobody-Group = nogroup

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

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.

recaptcha is not working on webchat.freenode.net (and probably other websites) with iceweasel-uxp (was working fine with iceweasel-esr)

https://framapic.org/ZdvYH2JCM39J/HFDSI7z0hXvS.png

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.

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

Hello,

I’m unable to print some pdfs on my Hyperbola 3.0 system.
Some background :

cups is installed, service enabled and working
system-config-printer is installed and my printer has been correctly added.

I can print most pdfs and text files but recently with a pdf, it fails to print it.* And system-config-printer returned the following error (see capture) :

Printer "EPSON XP-620-Series" requires the '/usr/lib/cups/filters/epson-escpr-wrapper' but it is not currently installed.

Currently, “epson-escpr-wrapper” is installed but it is in :

/usr/libexec/cups/filters/epson-escpr-wrapper

Looking at source code of system-config-printer, it expects that wrapper to be installed in “/usr/lib/” so I tried to symlink that “epson-escpr-wrapper” to “/usr/lib/cups/filters” but it doesn’t work..

*With a Debian system and the exact same configuration, the “problematic” pdf prints just fine so it is not an issue with the pdf.

I can’t update filters or update with iceweasel-uxp-ublock-origin.
When I toggle the additional filters list, it is empty.

Hello,

I can’t manually install some extensions I was using successfully with iceweasel-esr (52.9.x) previously.
Notably :

https-everywhere https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-everywhere/ watch-with-mpv https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/watch-with-mpv/ tampermonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/ Save URL to Wayback Machine https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-url-to-wayback-machine

How to install them with iceweasel-uxp ?

Previously (with iceweasel), when I was saving a login for a website, I was able to remove it in :

Preferences → Security > Logins > Saved logins

With iceweasel-uxp, when I click on “saved logins”, it opens a box but it is empty, I can’t remove saved login. (They are saved because iceweasel-uxp suggests me to use the saved login for concerned website)

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 :

GDBus.Error.org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error opening /dev/loop-control: No such file or directory (udisks-error-quark, 0)

Since 0.3 release, i’m unable to mount my sshfs share from my desktop.

For reference, my fstab entry :

sshfs#anon@server:/srv/nfs/data /mnt/data fuse noauto,user,_netdev,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=data 0 0

When I double-click on the desktop icon (xfce), it says : “Impossible to mount data”

But, I’m able to mount the share if I enter the command manually in a terminal as user.

sshfs anon@server:/srv/nfs/data /mnt/data

So, it is not a problem of writing rights on mountpoint /mnt/data
I suspect an issue with fuse2 since it is a dependency of sshfs and it is in relation with mounting share from desktop.

Some addons are currently broken with latest iceweasel-uxp (iceweasel-uxp 52.9.20190926-1)

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.
