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.

[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.

Trying to create a VM using virt-install (1.4.1-2.hyperbola2)

This error shows up :

I can’t create the VM.

PS : Error is not present on Debian Stretch with virt-install 1.4.0-5

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.

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.

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 :

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.

With lynis 2.4.8-1.hyperbola2

fails because dmidecode is not installed to /usr/sbin/ :

With hyperbola 0.3 :

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,

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

This cause multiple errors at shutdown as well.

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.
