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

dmesg was showing errors about this
Apparently it is not needed and can be deleted. (No errors on my side after deletion (and reboot) and no more errors message)

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.

### 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,

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

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/

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

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.

[virt-manager] Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend

I cannot start any virtual machine with current virt-manager.
The error message is the following :

Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend

My username is in “kvm” group.

The only modification to the libvirt config files I made are in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

[...]
# Some examples of valid values are:
#
#       user = "qemu"   # A user named "qemu"
#       user = "+0"     # Super user (uid=0)
#       user = "100"    # A user named "100" or a user with uid=100
# 
#user = "root"
user = "david"
[...]

The libvirtd service is enabled (and start without error)
Also, the optional dependencies are correctly installed :

ebtables: required for default NAT networking [installed]
dnsmasq: required for default NAT/DHCP for guests [installed]
bridge-utils: for bridged networking [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.

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)
