  1. Well, I give up. To create a package and submit it to AUR registry is such a bureaucratic process that I have decided that neoglogg will do without it. Good will - I tried, I failed (I clearly registered to ArchWIki instead of proper AUR registry websites, because the instructions are confusing and unclear. Moreover AUR registration does not work at all - HTTP 503).

    You can always compile it yourself.

  2. Haha, if I install pacman, I really get pacman from 1985 ;-) Sorry, people.

  3. I guess ArchWiki (AUR package) website admins think that everybody uses Arch?

    Because they don't like if I post this from KDE Neon:
    LC_ALL=C pacman -V|sed -r "s#[0-9]+#$(date -u +%m)#g"|base32|head -1
    Command 'pacman' not found, but can be installed with:
    sudo apt install pacman # version 10-19, or
    sudo apt install pacman-package-manager # version 6.0.2-4

    Not funny, admins!

  4. This week #kanchilug meet we discussed about syncing mail to local system using #mbsync (from #isync package). #archwiki is the one we relayed on and it worked flawlessly

  5. Arch Wiki admins deleted the XLibre project page, citing Code of Conduct violations. Discover the full story behind the removal and the community's reaction.

  6. @regendans Interesting! So Noctalia is a window manager? I hadn't heard about it, but it seems there's quite a lot happening with it. There's no entry for it on the #ArchWiki, surprisingly.

    I've been using #Labwc on my old #Thinkpad as a lightweight #KDE alternative, which is pretty nice too. An #Openbox alternative for #Wayland.

  7. @berniework I wish there were an Arch Wiki alternative for the "regular" distros. While it's sufficiently distro-agnostic, I can't help but wonder if the lack of one for beginner-friendly distros turns people away from Linux.

  8. RE: mastodon.social/@lobsters/1160

    I can't even count how many times I have found a solution to my problems with Linux desktop on archwiki site. I dare to say that is the best Linux documentation on the web (among all distributions). Thank you archwiki maintainers ❤️ #archwiki #Linux #archlinux

  9. @kirschner Truly, the #ArchWiki is easily the best source of Linux documentation on the net. Whether you actually use Arch or not.

  10. On the picture I and @fsfe 's vice president Heiki thank the @archlinux Project Lead @anthraxx (with one of the most awesome sweaters🥰 ) and
    #ArchWiki maintainer Ferdinand at #FOSDEM after handing over two bars of "hacker chocolate" to them.

    Thanks also to @Foxboron for ensuring we were able to met at #FOSDEM and introducing us there.

  11. ❤️ Thank you to the #Archlinux Wiki maintainers! ❤️

    #Maintainers in general, and maintainers of documentation most of the time get way too little recognition for their contributions to #SoftwareFreedom.

    ArchWiki is one of the pearls of the internet! That's why I dedicated my this year's #ilovefs post to the #ArchWiki maintainers!

  12. So, I like the perspective of optimizing swappiness on #Fedora, because I started to run out of memory as demands have grown. 8 GB simply doesn't cut it.

    But according to biskitpagla, it's not recommended to take up more #ZRAM than my actual #RAM, because it would override all attempts at switching to #swap file in case ZRAM is exhausted.[1]

    #ArchWiki has some config to make better use of ZRAM along with swappiness[2], so I'll take it.

  13. The latest DDOS on the Arch Wiki prompted me to start hosting a mirror: wikimirrors.rhys.wtf

    Plus some other things useful from Kiwix.

  14. @agowa338 if you refer to #OpenPGP cards here, have a look at the #ArchWiki article (and the upstream documentation) for the oct CLI: wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenP

    > the best answers for my questions are from Arch and Gentoo

    Yeah! ArchWiki is the best! :archlinux:

  16. #Linux audio is bizarrely confusing to a regular user lol - if I were to configure a #PulseAudio setting (i.e. clock.force-quantum) but obviously most systems now have moved to using #PipeWire, but from what I can tell or think to understand is that systems use PipeWire via something called #WirePlumber, should this (user-specific) configuration be done in a WirePlumber config, or PipeWire? I normally could learn these things easily through the #ArchWiki, but so far, this topic is completely lost on me lol.

  17. Das der gibt mittlerweile eine äußerst unhilfreiche 404-not-found Fehlermeldung zurück, wenn man sich unter (#openconnect cli oder GUI) verbinden möchte.

    Die Lösung ist (natürlich!) wie hier¹ im erwähnt:

    > sudo openconnect --useragent=AnyConnect unibn-vpn.uni-bonn.de

    Also dem Gateway vorgaukeln, dass man der Cisco AnyConnect client ist 😑

  18. Another #KDE Wallet question I've been trying to figure out since last nite: Is it really not possible to have it auto-unlock once for all (allowed) apps to access/read from upon login in an autologin (SDDM) desktop?

    Following the
    #ArchWiki, it seems to suggest that you could (on #KDEPlasma) by:

    - Installing
    kwallet-pam
    - Create a (default) wallet named
    kdewallet using blowfish encryption instead of using a GPG key
    - Set the same password for the wallet as your user password

    and yet after an auto login to the desktop, whenever an app needs access to the wallet I created, I need to enter the password once for each app.

    Perhaps I should also configure PAM as shown in the (confusing) subtopic of the linked guide in the wiki - eventho it says SDDM should not require any edit?

    It said that these lines should be present (in PAM):

    auth            optional        pam_kwallet5.so
    session         optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

    In my SDDM PAM file it mentions (
    /etc/pam.d/sddm) on 2 of my devices on #EndeavourOS, it has those lines it mentions but with a leading hyphen - must I remove the hyphens maybe?
    -auth       optional    pam_kwallet5.so
    -session    optional    pam_kwallet5.so         auto_start

    Update: I've tried updating said file and even another file I thought could be related
    sddm-autologin but to no avail. Googling this returns mostly people telling to set an empty password to the Wallet which I do know works, but that's a lazy, insecure thing to do.
