Error while trying to update smart-drivedb :

These two options could be enabled :

Security options → [*] Restrict unprivileged access to the kernel syslog

CVE-2020-5260 has been fixed very recently in Debian, so I thought I would apply this patch. However, I found out that security patches have not been applied for quite a while (I could account for at least 6 CVEs).

Considering that the version in Debian stretch (2.11.0) is the nearest version with security patches released by Debian and that git project oldest supported version is 2.17, I have used patches from Debian stretch to apply on 2.12.2 currently in Milky Way.

But I have the following error on check():

This does not seem to be related to my change as the current version in Milky Way produces the same error (IOW the package currently in Milky Way is not rebuidable).

Description: Since the migration to xenocara there seems to be a bug with applications using GTK-2. From time to time there are crashes with assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost’.

Looking into this a little bit more deep there are also other distributions affected and this is an upstream-bug. But the concrete situation is not that easy, while it could be also part of the library libX11 itself. Looking therefore here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/1782984

Affected are for example LXDE in general, icedove, iceweasel and many more!

There is only the source code of the client available and since years nothing more happened. With keybase joining “Zoom” nothing more seems to happen. Look also here in the forum: https://forums.hyperbola.info/viewtopic.php?id=368

Description:
There is an issue with Christian Rebischke key, i’ve tried to delete /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ and repopulate it but it doesn’t fix the issue.

error: ascii: signature from “Christian Rebischke (Arch Linux Security Team-Member) Chris.Rebischke@archlinux.org” is unknown trust
File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ascii-3.15-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).

Steps to reproduce:

sudo pacman -S ascii

Description:

Init script is missing for this package.

I think has some systemd dependecies.

Add SpaceFM File Manager for Hyperbola

Aur Package: spacefm Debian Package: spacefm

I have installed Hyperbola on two laptops. And I have noticed that after running sway and exiting out of sway, GNU emacs crushers on console. It is easy to repeat it:

1. Run sway
2. Exit sway or killall sway
3. Try running emacs on console, there will be crush
4. log out, log in, and emacs will work on console again

Yet it should not crush.

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.

I know there are plans to remove NetworkManager. I wondered if we could replace it in 0.4 with Wpa_Cute. seen in the above link.

I haven’t been able to compile it, but it has been updated as recent as 2018 december (stable)

or 2019 january. :)

WPA_GUI doesn’t seem to work well for me, it runs into weird errors when I start it. Long story short, I run into this issue with wpa_supplicant when i do it manually:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wpa_supplicant:

Password-related problems

wpa_supplicant may not work properly if directly passed via stdin particularly long or complex passphrases which include special characters. This may lead to errors such as failed 4-way WPA handshake, PSK may be wrong when launching wpa_supplicant.

In order to solve this try using here strings wpa_passphrase <MYSSID> «< “<passphrase>” or passing a file to the -c flag instead:

# wpa_supplicant -i <interface> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/example.conf

In some instances it was found that storing the passphrase cleartext in the psk key of the wpa_supplicant.conf network block gave positive results (see [2]). However, this approach is rather insecure. Using wpa_cli to create this file instead of manually writing it gives the best results most of the time and therefore is the recommended way to proceed.
Problems with eduroam and other MSCHAPv2 connections

This is my issue with wpa_supplicant sadly... and I do not know how to workaround that without a GUI.

but Wpa_Supplicant_gui does not fix it either, it doesn’t even load properly on my other laptop.

It says it cannot get the status of wpa_supplicant when I load it.

This could be an issue if you get rid of NetworkManager for some users.

So yeah, please take a look at my request okay? Wait for 0.3 to be released to add this if possible. I know you guys are overworked, etc... and it doesn’t need to be done now anyhow. ;)

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

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