Thanks

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.

Description:

Tuxcards is seemingly published under some GPL license, on the splash screen I did not see which one.

The splash screen claims it is Donationware, which is bringing confusion.

Picture: https://gnu.support/images/issues/2018-06-17-21:35:41.png

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donationware

So either the splash screen shall be removed, as it is donationware, or author contacted, or package removed as it is unclear if it is free software or donationware. Free software can be sold, and if it is sold, then such software shall not ask for donations again in my opinion.

Thanks for your help.

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.

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.

Description:

The description of the package need to be changed to accommodate:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

To refer to published works as “assets”, or “digital assets”, is even worse than calling them “content” — it presumes they have no value to society except commercial value.

community/warsow-data 2.1.2-1.hyperbola2
    Free online multiplayer competitive FPS based on the Qfusion engine (data files), without nonfree assets

Description:

community/webfs 1.21-13
    Simple and instant http server for mostly static content.

Description is vague because of the word “content”. Why not simply say “files” instead and be more specific.

Even empty files without data inside can be served.

Description:

extra/webkit2gtk 2.16.1-3.hyperbola1 [installed]

The description is vague as it is using “content” in description. Why not say “elements” or something more descriptive.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:

extra/webkitgtk 2.4.11-6.hyperbola1
    Legacy Web content engine for GTK+ 3, without geoclue2 support

The description is vague. There is not even need to use “content” here. Web engine should be very clear. “Content” alone does not make sense.

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. ;)

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

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.
