It is questionable if it is “Licensed” or dedicated.

See the file:

it does not matter if the file is named “LICENSE”, it could be also named anyhow else.

There must be reason why the organization Creative Commons is not using the word “License” in that text, and that is why I propose to simply say in description:

• replace deprecated GNU Bazaar to Brezy for Canis Major

Additional info:

• bzr 2.7.0-2
• GNU Bazaar will be unmaintained (for now, there are only bug fixes)
• GNU Bazaar only supports Python 2.
• Python 2.7 is the end of the Python 2 line of development. [0]
• There never will be an official Python 2.8 release.
• Or use Tauthon (fork of Python 2.7) as dependency.

Note: It needs a provide: bazaar and brezy

Steps to reproduce:

aqemu only lists GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd. Since LibertyBSD is also free it should also be added.

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).

Hello,

I recently acquired a T400 Thinkpad with 1440×900 panel.
On this T400, I installed Hyperbola, just like on my x200 Thinkpad with 1280×800 panel.

Both Thinkpad are running the same Hyperbola installation :

Full disk encryption (with Libreboot) so both Thinkpad are using early KMS (MODULES=”i915” in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf)
Same kernel : linux-libre-lts (4.9.99 at the moment I’m writing this message)
video driver : modesetting
DE : xfce4 with xfwm4

On the Thinkpad x200, everything works great, no issue to report.

On the T400 though, the linux-libre-lts kernel, I’m getting random display freezes, when it happens, this message appears in dmesg :

hpd interrupt storm detected on connector hdmi-a-1

And the display (and sound) freezes for 10 seconds (sometimes more !)

As Hyperbola proposes linux-libre-lts kernel only, I installed latest linux-libre-lts (4.14.40) and linux-libre (4.16.8) from Parabola GNU/Linux repo.

Results :

With 4.14.40 : Same issue as with 4.9.99 kernel from Hyperbola repo.
With 4.16.8 : Issue is not present ! No more freeze !

I’m not sure how to proceed though. Would you be kind enough helping me to find which commit in i915 driver improved the situation ? If we find it, maybe it could be added as a patch to 4.9.x kernel series.
Or maybe it is something else.. I don’t have much experience, I can provide logs if needed.

Thanks for your help

As even the support for GCC 7 is now ending with the release of version 7.5 (https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2019-11/msg00099.html) I’d like to propose a renewal of the building-stack - which I think is also needed in time. Also a renewal of the glibc would be good at all!

Sirikata a platform for virtual worlds.

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.

Remove “cinepaint” package since it’s unmaintained and unsupportable. Also, it doesn’t contains any file format support in the latest version (previous version supported multiple file formats).

I suggest use Krita (or Gimp 2.10) to edit 16bit and 32bit file formats or convert with imagemagick/graphicsmagick.
