The security issues regarding the package which led to the package’s removal from Hyperbola (old WebKit and Vala dependency) have apparently been resolved in recent releases, see the new comment in this bug report and the latest PKGBUILD in Arch’s repo.

After enabling show-flags via dconf-editor in org.mate.peripherals-keyboard-xkb.indicator the flags don’t show up. The simple workaround is to copy flags you want into ~/.icons/flags (after creating the directory) from here

https://github.com/linuxmint/flags/tree/master/usr/share/iso-flag-png

and then to reboot.

It seems to be this bug:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1059324/how-to-show-current-keyboard-layout-on-mate-panel-as-country-flag/1059325#1059325

These two options could be enabled :

Kernel hacking → [*] Filter access to /dev/mem
[*] Filter I/O access to /dev/mem

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

In the latest version, it has many more changes with new and improvement features, and fixes function issues since released as preview stage in every eight times per three years ago[1]. And also it is possible to rebuild package with sndio.

Description:

I ran sensors-detect, it detected two modules :

coretemp
it87

Those have been added to /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors :

# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/lm_sensors and defines the modules to
# be loaded/unloaded.
#
# The format of this file is a shell script that simply defines variables:
# HWMON_MODULES for hardware monitoring driver modules, and optionally
# BUS_MODULES for any required bus driver module (for example for I2C or SPI).

HWMON_MODULES="coretemp it87"

But only coretemp is loaded at boot.

I can manually load it87 module (modprobe it87) and get all sensors working but for some reason it87 module is not loaded at boot.

It would be awesome to have a kernel like this imported to hyperbola.

Description:

community/linssid 2.7-4
     Graphical wireless scanner for Linux

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

On a fresh install, the system wide locale is not working with lightdm.
According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Wrong_locale_displayed

One needs to set the LANG variable in /etc/environment to have lightdm in desired language.

Example :

LANG=pt_PT.utf8

Could it be possible to implement a mechanism to automatically add the LANG variable set in /etc/locale.conf to /etc/environement when one install lightdm ?

It is not technically a bug but it could be handy to new users.

The expression “BSD-style license” leads to confusion because it lumps together licenses that have important differences. For instance, the original BSD license with the advertising clause is incompatible with the GNU General Public License, but the revised BSD license is compatible with the GPL.

To avoid confusion, it is best to name the specific license in question and avoid the vague term “BSD-style.”
