The IDE codelite is an excellent development environment, continuously updated, has a clear vision and active support.
Would be nice to have this one within the repositories in upcoming releases, perhaps 0.5?

Description: As Gnome has decided against following libre, free principles the desktop-environment has becoming a risk for the privacy and freedom for users. Meaning that the desktop-environment with all basic packages should be removed. Of course the final decision is up to the community and the development-team. Followed up are more reasons for the insights:

* Bloated with questionable dependencies (including mandatory systemd)
* Using proprietary services as high risk for freedom and privacy for users (https://i.stack.imgur.com/yZcyV.png)
* Coming up with questionable and vague principles, against software-freedom in a whole (inclusion of flatpak and flathub as so-called standardization for distributions, discussions about proprietary software included within the software-center)

When i try to set the brightness on my screen, with xbacklight -set 100,

it does this:

No outputs have backlight property

and it doesn’t really matter if I set it lower than 100 or what it currently is at.

Fix when you can please!

The current version of the package icewm within the Hyperbola-repositories is 1.3.8. The latest version is 1.6.3!
An update would be helpful as this window-manager follows absolutely the principles of the distribution Hyperbola itself, being simple and fast.

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?

When trying to start a new campaign the complete game-engine is crashing with the following message:

Object::disconnect: Unexpected null parameter
QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver

As ghc and fpc should be removed in the near future it would be good to validate this or otherwise remove the game-package itself also.

When using the package for wireless connections no further icon is displayed without having the package [b]network-manager-applet[/b] installed.

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.

Iosevka wins a poll about most beautiful fonts on reddit (/r/linux). This font is very similar than Droid Sans (Official Google Font) with many advantages:

1 - Has 5 types modes (lightest, light, normal, bold, super bold)
2 - Condensed and big sizes (perfect for visual impairments users)
3 - Very Legible on i3-wm, Sway, Conky bar
4 - OTF license (Freedom license)

Iosevka is already on AUR, but create a official package prevent bug or proprietary third parties apps (Yaourt, etc) be installed by beginners Hyperbola users.

Official Site:

On AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-iosevka

this package is under gpl3. It is the most reasonable chess game because it can be easy or hard depending on your preference.

Description:

Gajim XMPP Client wont start after installing python2-gnupg.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

  community/python2-gnupg 0.4.0-2
  extra/gajim 0.16.8-1.hyperbola2

* config and/or log files etc.

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gajim/common/gajim.py

Steps to reproduce:

With Gajim working is not possible to assign an OpenPGP key because it needs a wrapper. Therefore python2-gnupgp package is needed. But after installing python2-gnupgp, Gajim doesn’t start. The following output is displayed from the console:

07/21/2018 18:00:41 (E) gajim.c.gnupg Unable to run gpg - it may not be available.
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnupg.py", line 757, in __init__
  p = self._open_subprocess(["--version"])

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnupg.py", line 761, in __init__
  raise OSError(msg)

OSError: Unable to run gpg - it may not be available.

After doing some search, the issue is that gajim.py is trying to call ‘gpg’ as ‘gpg1’.

# grep -n GPG_BINARY /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gajim/common/gajim.py
162:GPG_BINARY = ‘gpg1’

By replacing ‘gpg’ instead of ‘gpg1’, Gajim will start normally with OpenPGP feature available.

Maybe a newer revision of python2-gnupg is required or maybe a small patch in the current package.

This already works for it, but I just thought I would request it to be put in.

Description:
The /usr/sbin directory in spamassassin has permissions 755
https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/extra.git/tree/spamassassin/PKGBUILD#n88

And ‘filesystem’ sets it to 750
https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/core.git/tree/filesystem/PKGBUILD#n135

So when installing spamassassin, pacman throws a warning

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

Additional info:
* spamassassin 3.4.2-1.hyperbola2

Description:
The /usr/sbin directory in postfix has permissions 755

And ‘filesystem’ sets it to 750
https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/core.git/tree/filesystem/PKGBUILD#n135

So when installing postfix, pacman throws a warning

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

Additional info:
* postfix-3.2.2-1.hyperbola6

Description:
The /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/dovecot.conf file has a failregex with the following:

^%(__prefix_line)s(?:auth|auth-worker\(\d+\)): (?:pam|passwd-file)\(\S+,<HOST>\): unknown user\s*$

and works with things like:

Month day time hostname dovecot: auth: passwd-file(user@domain.com,IP): unknown user

but with verbosity enabled in Dovecot, this output looks like this:

Month day time hostname dovecot: auth: passwd-file(user@domain.com,IP): unknown user (given password: password)

and in this case it doesn’t work, but it does if we fix the failregex if we replace it with:

^%(__prefix_line)s(?:auth|auth-worker\(\d+\)): (?:pam|passwd-file)\(\S+,<HOST>\): unknown user( \(given password: \S*\))?\s*$

with this new expression, it works with and without verbosity

And regarding postfix, to make it work correctly I “backported” some pieces from newest failregex:

/etc/fail2ban/postfixr-rbl.conf:

^%(__prefix_line)sNOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from \S+\[<HOST>\]: [45]54 [45]\.7\.1 Service unavailable; Client host \[\S+\] blocked using .* from=<\S*> to=<\S+> proto=ESMTP helo=<\S*>$

/etc/fail2ban/postfix.conf: (second failregex)

^%(__prefix_line)sNOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from \S+\[<HOST>\]: 45[04] 4\.7\.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your (reverse )?hostname, (\[\S*\]); from=<\S*> to=<\S+> proto=ESMTP helo=<\S*>$

I can create a patch if you want. Note that I haven’t tested all filters, some others may also need some rework

Additional info:
* fail2ban-0.9.6-2.hyperbola3

Some forum display errors:

1. preview button with the orange border.

1. Error message when logging in gray color making it difficult to read

The wiki pages look really too narrow and not readable on even half a screen of the laptop.

Add Hyperbola branding to HyperTask such as HyperWiki and HyperForum for prolixity reasons.

I don’t know if this is the best place for this, but I get stuck on the hardening the grub guide from libreboot,

https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/grub_hardening.html

I wondered if there is anything different that needs to be done to get this part done:

gpg –homedir keys –detach-sign my.initramfs
gpg –homedir keys –detach-sign my.kernel
gpg –homedir keys –detach-sign libreboot_grub.cfg
gpg –homedir keys –detach-sign my.grubtest.cfg

it gives me a bunch of weird errors

After talking to Emulatorman, we think this would be a nice feature to add to our Hyperwiki to be able to subscribe to the original page in English to help tracking changing to the translated pages.
This implies to add the email notifications to the dokuwiki system

This would ease their usage on other distros.

When I was adding this task, I put some long tags on it (html form allowed that) and got an error concerning too long tags field to fit in an sql datatype (max is 40 chars). Task got added anyway (just without tags). I didn’t know that and created it again.

The Mailling list don't work : https://lists.hyperbola.info//mailman/listinfo/

Seems deleted items reappearing in the Hyperbola feeds since it gives its feed items empty ID string.

So avatar uploading is not working well, and picture is getting minimized to nothing.

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.

PATCHING NOTE

When the check concerns kernel, we obviously want to match with HyperbolaBSD.

Example of triplet check:	hyperbolabsd)
Example of uname -s check:	HyperbolaBSD)
Example of uname -r check:	0.1)
Example of C macro check:	defined(__HyperbolaBSD__)

The unfortunate reality is that x86 computers come encumbered with built-in low-level backdoors like the Intel Management Engine , as well as nonfree boot firmware. This means that users can’t gain full control over their computers, even if they install a free operating system such as Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

Hyperbola is working hard to fix these issues and getting closer every day, but for the time being, this is why many current Respects Your Freedom (RYF) offerings are refurbished older devices.

For the future of free computing, we need support architectures that do not come with such malware pre-installed, and the Power9-based Talos II promises to be a great architecture example for workstations and servers environments where Hyperbola is focused since is a fully free long-term support distribution.

Devices like this are the future of computing that Respects Your Freedom and for that reason it’s a high priority for Hyperbola port all packages for the POWER architecture (power64le).

NOTE: POWER porting is focused only for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

Description:
Historically, Swiftweasel was a Firefox-based application built on XUL platform around 2007 and abandoned in 2010. It was optimized for several architectures using the following methods such as the Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) and binary code optimization for computers with limited resources.

Since there are users encouraging us develop a Palemoon-based application , and Swiftweasel contains non-trademarked graphics and logos, we could port Swiftweasel to UXP platform as theme for Iceweasel-UXP.
