rrip_gui does not work. The fix is to install cairo-gobject which is not in the repos. Attached is a working PKGBUILD adapted from the official one.

After enabling show-flags via dconf-editor in org.mate.peripherals-keyboard-xkb.indicator the flags don’t show up. The simple workaround is to copy flags you want into ~/.icons/flags (after creating the directory) from here

https://github.com/linuxmint/flags/tree/master/usr/share/iso-flag-png

and then to reboot.

It seems to be this bug:

ffmpegthumbnailer does not support some media formats since they do not appear in its configuration file ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer which can be found in /usr/share/thumbnailers/. By editing the file ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer one can add thumbnail support for embedded art in audio formats such as flac and mp3 (using the -m flag) and thumbnail support for webp (a new image format which iceweasel-uxp and gthumb support). I’m attaching my edited file (I just added a few common audio formats and webp and added the -m flag and removed the -f flag).

Unlike other mapping software (gnome-maps, emerillon) it does not depend on geoclue/geoclue2 (or on kde packages like marble). The package was added to Arch’s official repos over a year ago. Their PKGBUILD builds fine.

slim-themes seems to be considered free according to Parabola - they have an issue with arch branding (slim-themes::::[branding][:package] has “archlinux” theme) which they resolve be creating the package parabola-themes-slim. Perhaps this can be the basis for hyperbola branded themes.

This Python script enables users to use PayPal without proprietary JavaScript. The package requires newer Python modules than those provided by Hyperbola.

Package is a libpurple plugin for the Matrix protocol which is consistent with Hyperbola’s social contract as Matrix is a federated protocol.

Source code can be found here licensed under GPLv2:

https://github.com/matrix-org/purple-matrix

PKGBUILD for git version is available here (last stable release is from two years ago so git version is probably the best version to use):

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/purple-matrix-git/

The security issues regarding the package which led to the package’s removal from Hyperbola (old WebKit and Vala dependency) have apparently been resolved in recent releases, see the new comment in this bug report and the latest PKGBUILD in Arch’s repo.

I added
<quote>modules=”fs-fuse”</quote>
to /etc/conf.d/modules (and also “fuse” instead).

I looked in /var/log/rc.log and I see this line

<quote>modprobe: FATAL: Module fs-fusetun not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.194-gnu-1-lts</quote>

It looks like modprobe added “tun” to the filename which prevents loading the module.

One can mount exfat by running commands such as “sudo modprobe fuse” and “sudo mount.exfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/storage” but it is inconvenient.

Also, loading fuse at startup is problematic - see here:

It’s better to change to a more neutral description such as “a cross-platform network protocol analyzer - CLI/GTK/Qt version”.

community/keepass 2.35-2

Better to change to something like “A cross-platform password manager supporting mobile devices”.

The package appears in parabola’s pcr repository. I modified the AUR PKGBUILD to compile the last stable version (and the installation works fine). Please add this package to the official repos.

Erika is a Python GTK+ podcast manager using webkitgtk.

Erika is released under the MIT License, with the exception of the file erika/frontend/widgets/scrolled_window.py which is released under the GNU/GPLv3 License.

Attached is a PKGBUILD for the last stable release based on the AUR one (I moved a few of the dependencies to optdepends). It builds fine and works.

here is the description from the website

https://github.com/ruediger/VobSub2SRT

VobSub2SRT is a simple command line program to convert .idx / .sub subtitles into .srt text subtitles by using OCR. It is based on code from the MPlayer project - a really really great movie player. Some minor parts are copied from ffmpeg/avutil headers. Tesseract is used as OCR software.

vobsub2srt is released under the GPL3+ license. The MPlayer code included is GPL2+ licensed.

The quality of the OCR depends on the text in the subtitles. Currently the code does not use any preprocessing. But I’m currently looking into adding filters and scaling options to improve the OCR. You can correct mistakes in the .srt files with a text editor or a special subtitle editor.

Attached is a working PKGBUILD for the latest stable version.

I could not find any regarding using arch or other branded themes. Parabola apparently rebrands some stuff in their libre repository, eg. they have their own parabola-themes-slim package for slim based themes.

purple-plugin-pack provides access to Napster which is only useful with a single company and sever (as far as I could tell).

As per this bug report the MEGA plugin cannot be compiled using the OpenSSL version provided in hyperbola.

https://github.com/mcrapet/plowshare-module-mega/issues/18

This described solution works (I successfully upgraded the package to version 1.0.2r).

  Install the openssl-1.0 package.
  Run ./configure with the following arguments:

./configure –enable-local OPENSSL_LIBS=’-L/usr/lib/openssl-1.0 -lssl -lcrypto’ OPENSSL_CFLAGS=’-I/usr/include/openssl-1.0’

  run make

Unfortunately this solution (upgrading openssl-1.0) breaks some other packages such as phantomjs and avidemux, so it would be great if the package could be upgraded by Hyperbola’s developers alongside all its dependencies.

When updating packages this warning appears:

warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/sbin/
filesystem: 750  package: 755

Is there any way to force it to try from yt as it did in the final attempt?

CHDKPTP is part of CHDK project - a free software firmware add-on for Canon cameras. It enables controlling Canon cameras via the computer.

Attached is a modified iup PKGBUILD (Lua 5.3 build was removed as it failed to compile) and configuration files for chdkptp.

Code is available via svn:

$ svn co http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/chdkptp/trunk chdkptp

Copy chdkptp.sh and config.mk files to source tree then compile via make. Requires root privileges to connect to a camera.

Similar to systemd, pulseaudio or libpulse is forced upon users as many packages require it such as kodi, gnome-shell (and thus also gdm), ffmpeg, gst-plugins-good, simplescreenrecorder, clementine, empathy, seamonkey (iceape), fluidsynth, mumble and qemu, Most/all of these packages can probably be compiled with pulseaudio or libpulse as an optional dependency instead.

It worked fine on the previous version of Hyperbola. The word user/username does not show up. A workaround is to wait 10 seconds and enter the username and click enter - then it will switch correctly to the password screen (otherwise you need to enter the username and password at least twice in order to successfully login).
