With latest iceweasel-uxp, I can’t connect to some HTTPS websites :

For example :

With the recent update to hypervideo, my workflow is broken as I can’t archive several youtube channels with hypervideo, the error is always the following :

Description:

this release is mostly bugfix, updated translations, removed some deprecated parts in code (abandoning libgnome-keyring and starting using libsecret) and in UI and added Till’s patches from Ubuntu (Thank you, Till!).

Steps to reproduce:

In the latest version fixes several issues and font improvements[1], but unfortunately there is a major problem contained five three non-libre/free typefaces in the source code.

• Apple II (1977): a licence forbids to sell and modify. Already removed
• Commodore PET (1977): a licence forbids to sell and modify. Already removed
• Atari 400/800 (1979): in the latest version, there is a vague term “freeware”[2] in documentation, but forbids to sell and modify.
• Commercial 64 (1982): a licence forbids to sell. Already removed
• Monaco (modern): proprietary from Apple.

$ rm -fr "./app/qml/fonts/{1977-*,1979-atari-400-800,1982-commodore64,modern-monaco}/";

Also, I attached three QML source code diff files down below, by removing and replacing strings.

[2]: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid#Freeware

A Syriac typeface family series of Beth Mardutho’s Meltho is considered as non-libre/free because a licence forbids to modify[1], and should be removed immediately.

[1]: https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-misc-meltho/raw/master/license.txt

Contains many other (old and dead) non-FSDG distro and software archive and repo FTP sites, and must remove carefully.

Since python-pip and python2-pip have been removed, I can’t install python2-reportlab because python2-pip is a dependency of this package.

With latest 0.3 hyperbola, with the (simple) following partitioning :

/ (ext4)
/swap

The standard HOOK in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

"HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"

fails to include crc32c_generic module, resulting in non bootable system.

The generated fallback initramfs include it though.

The issue was not present with 0.2.9, with the exact same partitioning.

[virt-manager] Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend

I cannot start any virtual machine with current virt-manager.
The error message is the following :

Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend

My username is in “kvm” group.

The only modification to the libvirt config files I made are in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

[...]
# Some examples of valid values are:
#
#       user = "qemu"   # A user named "qemu"
#       user = "+0"     # Super user (uid=0)
#       user = "100"    # A user named "100" or a user with uid=100
# 
#user = "root"
user = "david"
[...]

The libvirtd service is enabled (and start without error)
Also, the optional dependencies are correctly installed :

ebtables: required for default NAT networking [installed]
dnsmasq: required for default NAT/DHCP for guests [installed]
bridge-utils: for bridged networking [installed]

This was working fine previously (with 0.2.9) so I don’t know why this isn’t working anymore. As said previously, my config hasn’t changed.

g4jc suggested to drop PGO as it could be the culprit.

https://forums.hyperbola.info/viewtopic.php?pid=1149#p1149

Regarding addons, I'm fairly certain flipping the switch on PGO (which makes the browser faster at the expense of wrecking code) is the culprit. We were warned not to use it, and this is planned to be rolled back.

However, Hyperbot has to be scheduled to rebuild the packages and I do not set it's schedule. Will advise.

With lynis 2.4.8-1.hyperbola2

sudo lynis audit system remote 192.168.0.100

fails because dmidecode is not installed to /usr/sbin/ :

Description:
The apache pkg has a symlink in /etc/httpd/modules which points to /usr/lib/httpd/modules, and it’s wrong because modules are now located at /usr/libexec/httpd/modules

Also, packages that have apache modules, like:

• extra/php-apache
• community/mod_wsgi
• community/mod_wsgi2

have them in the old location, so they need to be rebuilt.

Additional info:

• apache 2.4.38-1.hyperbola2

Description:
Postfix is a mess, first it failed to start (running ‘postfix start’) with the following:

  postfix: fatal: chdir(/usr/lib/postfix/bin): No such file or directory

Then, to solve this, I symlinked /usr/libexec/postfix to /usr/lib/postfix/bin, because there were the binaries, but then it came with the following:

  # postfix start
  /usr/lib/postfix/bin/postfix-script: line 89: /usr/bin/postconf: No such file or directory
  /usr/lib/postfix/bin/postfix-script: line 90: /usr/bin/postlog: No such file or directory

Because all the post* bins where now in /usr/sbin, so I symlinked them to /usr/bin, and it could finally run, but with many warnings

  # postfix start
  postfix/postfix-script: warning: symlink leaves directory: /usr/lib/postfix/./bin
  postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /usr/bin/postqueue
  postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /usr/bin/postdrop
  postfix/postfix-script: warning: not set-gid or not owner+group+world executable: /usr/bin/postqueue
  postfix/postfix-script: warning: not set-gid or not owner+group+world executable: /usr/bin/postdrop

Description:
After replacing roundcubemail with roundcubemail-lts, I got the following error:

  PHP Warning:  session_start(): Failed to read session data: user (path: ) in /usr/share/webapps/roundcubemail/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_session.php on line 117

And going back to the non-lts version solved it

Additional info:
It looks like it is a problem of roundcube-lts not being fully compatible with PHP 7.1, maybe a backport could fix the issue

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install roundcube
2) open it in a web browser
3) Check /var/log/roundcubemail/errors

About that distro, Elementary OS is semi-libre/free, Ubuntu based, long term support, but does not comply with the GNU Free System Distributibution Guidelines (FSDG). To either rebrand or remove existing non-FSDG compliant distro icon files.

osdbattery is (probably) useless and broken so Conky did compete because It is still unmaintained and unsupported over 14 years ago (last released version 1.4 on August 23, 2005), and should be removed per anti-abandonware rule at the packaging guidelines.

Also, the default config file contains non-libre/free Microsoft font Verdana as X11 font format property in font variable.

I know that upgrading Qt is not a trivial task, but would it be possible to do this anyway? Qt 5.8 has issues that other versions do not have. See for example the discussion here about Projecteur, a very useful tool. Hyperbola seems to be the only Linux distribution unable to run it, just because of Qt 5.8:

Within the current version of smplayer in the repositories a proprietary interface to Chromecast is activated and therefore a risk for privacy of the users as this hardware is the complete opposite of freedom.
