There appears to be a bug with the current version of ufw, 0.35-2

Dunno if updating it would fix it, but it is kind of annoying and possibly security issue.

it says ufw is inactive when I reboot despite it being installed in the runlevel.

Description:

cat msg | /usr/sbin/sendmail – sendmail: No such file or directorycannot create temporary file /var/spool/smtpd/offline/1572544775.XXXXIqNsFX

Additional info:
* package version: 6.4.2p1-1.hyperbola2.backports1

It is same problem as here:
https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD/issues/839

I could solve it with:

sudo chmod g+s /usr/sbin/smtpctl
sudo chmod g+s /usr/sbin/smtpctl

and then

sudo rc-service smtpd start

Even though I think I should not need to start it to use only sendmail.

Description:

$ marble-qt –latlone=0.5,6.5
Ignoring to load the following file since it doesn’t look like a valid Marble plugin: “/usr/lib/marble/plugins/libWlocatePositionProviderPlugin.so” Reason: “Cannot load library /usr/lib/marble/plugins/libWlocatePositionProviderPlugin.so: (libwlocate.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)”

When package libwlocate is installed, it is not showing this error.

Shall that package be dependency?

Description: Per a user request and to better secure the kernel, we can embed the cryptsetup and ciphers in the kernel. This would mean rather than exposed modules, they are built-in to the kernel and ready to use even without an intramfs.

To be embedded: ciphers aes, twofish, serpent; sha256, sha512 - and the necessary modules (don’t forget the block modes xts, lvm and cryptsetup ...)

Additionally, we could include USB Guard and any other features that meet our social contract and security outlook.

It appears when I plug in my libreboot laptop x200 in, it appears to dim the screen and when its unplugged, the screen is bright again. Something peculiar is at work, I wondered if this could be fixed.

My assumption is it is related to lxdm or lightdm. Any thoughts?

I am currently using 0.4, so I don’t expect this to be a fast process, just when you get a chance okay?

Two formats (including HTML and PHP) are provided to run semi-libre/free web browser Mozilla Firefox in the original code base, but it currently got blacklisted due to numerous branding, security and privacy issues, and replaced by the Hyperbola Iceweasel-UXP. To replace existing strings at the web section in xferc.in:

html = "iceweasel-uxp,iceweasel-uxp,<txteditor>;Hyper Text;html_32x32.png;html_16x16.png;;"
htm = "iceweasel-uxp,iceweasel-uxp,<txteditor>;Hyper Text;html_32x32.png;html_16x16.png;;"
php = "iceweasel-uxp,iceweasel-uxp,<txteditor>;PHP Source;html_32x32.png;html_16x16.png;;"

A format is not known or recognized in the original code base. To add a string into at the audio section in xferc.in:

opus = "<audioplayer>,<audioplayer>,audacity;Opus Audio;mp3_32x32.png;mp3_16x16.png;;"

I probably should’ve mentioned this before, but if it is set to suspend when lid is closed, it should automatically lock. if the security option: lock screen with system is set to sleep is tweaked on it doesn’t lock always.

This is word for word what I wrote in the forums, but yeah... it is a problem say if someone wants to use your laptop without your permission and can do so.

But it is also a problem if you set it to lock instead because it is more prone to overheating when your not using it, and it doesn’t suspend quickly enough.

I have tried this many times and the same story can be told, again and again.

I think this issue should be considered high or critical merely because of the privacy risk if someone gets their hands on your laptop while its on. Even if you have been away... :/

I wonder if anyone else has this issue... well you guys will tell me I am sure. if critical doesn’t match what you think I am sure you will change it. ;)

Hello,

Could it be possible to add this package :

w_scan

“Universal ATSC and DVB blind scanner”

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/w_scan/

License : GPL

Thanks

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.

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.
