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

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

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.

After confirming the newly created account (typing the confirmation code, the passwoard and its confirmation, and clicking the button to continue), the following error appears:

  Notice: crypt(): No salt parameter was specified. You must use a randomly generated salt and a strong hash function to produce a secure hash. in /srv/http/flyspray/includes/class.flyspray.php on line 656 

The account login seems to work normaly.

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 .

Original Bug Report:
— I would also like to test the beta isos when they are ready through qemu. If it looks good I plan to fully install them onto my laptop. My libreboot x200.

I don’t know if I should make a separate feature for this, but xfce is a good stable desktop environment for such a choice. that and lxde.

Though lxde is going to die...

I have installed multiple times Hyperbola, 4 times on 4 different notebooks.

What I have noticed is that the live ISO is quite huge in relation to the task that should be done. Namely. the live ISO shall at least contain some first packages, so that they do not need to be downloaded online.

Best would be if the live ISO can be copied straight and that system can run from ISO/DVD without having Internet. At least one simple graphical environment shall be included.

Further, I have noticed that there is only network instructions as HTML file.

I would rather call it installation-instructions.html to make it clear for people what it is. Or simply: INSTALL.html so that people understand what it is.

It says just network.html if I remember well.

Then there is absolutely no point or link or reference to the installation instructions.

Each time I got a network I had to go to either duckduckgo search engine or to hyperbola.info website and then I tried with lynx to find installation instructions.

It is not straight, not quite clearly in open, it is in Wiki, but that is quite hard to find.

We have to put ourselves in the shoes of those in need of free software. Millions of people need free software.

Many of us live in a developed western countries.

Yet millions of people in need of this software live in South America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe.

There are millions of students that could advance their study, and that could progress faster with free software.

In those countries Internet is often non-existent, universities may be located in poor network areas, Internet is being fetched by using mobile phones.

So if there is a live distribution, such shall at least contain basic software, which really can fit onto any DVD, and that as such can be copied on the computer without using Internet. Upgrades could be fetched by using Internet.

And there shall be clear reference, link or file about installation. There shall be no need to go to Internet to install the software.

I tried to extract a RAR v5 archive using unar that works fine when using the non-free unrar.

Here is the log (with the file name altered)

$ unar file.part1.rar
file.part1.rar: RAR 5

file.mp4  (-2144860915 B)... Failed! (Attempted to read more data than was available)

Extraction to current directory failed! (1 file failed.)

Please add in the FAQ that newer RAR archives (version 5) may not work when using unar.

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.

my recommended fix, make it reflect the applications that are actually installed on the system after removing non-free software support.

Create hypertools to replace libretools package for HyperbolaBSD and GNU/Linux

It’s long period to develop this package.

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

This would ease their usage on other distros.

Hi,

My email server (riseup.net) fails to deliver emails to hyperbola.info. Here’s the error message coming in the returned email:

Reporting-MTA: dns; mx1.riseup.net
X-Postfix-Queue-ID: 49vvwD4xQnzFf2F
X-Postfix-Sender: rfc822; xxxxx@riseup.net

Status: 4.7.5
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; Server certificate not verified

This problem did not occur last time I sent emails to a hyperbola.info account (December 2019).
It does not happen with any other destination email server. My guess is that something isn’t properly configured in your server.
If you conclude that this is a riseup.net problem, let me know and I’ll open a bug report with them.

The requirement for TLS 1.2 in email effectively isolated us from internet, and yelling for change isn’t working even in communications with other free/libre system distributions and mailing lists related to free/libre software (both for software and for discussions related to the movement itself). :)

Many mailing lists at gnu.org, fsf.org, fsfla.org, libreplanet.org, and also in other free/libre system distributions aren’t accessible (e.g.: Trisquel).

The RFC 3461 would allow Hyperbola email accounts to request the destination email providers to point out if an email was successfully delivered.

It might not cover all transport failures, but at least has a chance to know in advance whether the message was delivered, discarding the events that happen afterwards (be it to the main inbox or subject to filtering rules such as moving to other folder, marking as spam or deleted after receipt).

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

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.

A very nasty bug I wasn’t able to find an answer to.
I compiled stuff (buildroot) using menuconfig, the menu display was fine in xfce4-terminal (See screenshot #1)
I restarted the config a few days later with the same command :

$ make menuconfig

and this time the display was messed up (See screenshot #2)

After investigation, I noticed a directory (filled with stuff) have been created in my home folder :

.terminfo

I don’t know why. But anyway, if I delete it, then the display is ok again.
I noticed that if I use good old xterm terminal, then the display is fine even if the .terminfo directory is present. (it uses “xterm” instead of xterm-256color)

But, with xfce4-terminal (and others, I tried with gnome-terminal, sakura..), the display is messed up if the .terminfo directory is present in my home folder.

I also noticed that if I run the command in a screen session, the issue is not present.

(I open xfce4-terminal)

$ screen
$ printenv TERM
screen.xterm-256color
$ make menuconfig (or htop, or other program using ncurses)

= display ok

but with default :

(I open xfce4-terminal)

$ printenv TERM
xterm-256color
make menuconfig (or htop, or other program using ncurses)

= display messed up if .terminfo directory is present

So I have no idea why this .terminfo directory is generated. What could trigger its generation ? Is that an issue with ncurses or something else ?

Thanks for your help

/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.

  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.
