It's not a security feature dipshit, it's stability padding and Manjaro gets the packages before 99% of the other distros besides Arch. If you hate on Manjaro for holding back ~30 days you must really hate everything else.

The don't "hold back", they test if it works without breaking before they push it through. That's a difference.

hi friends,
I'm trying to install i3-gaps on bunsenlabs with this tool:
https://github.com/maestrogerardo/i3-gaps-deb
However, the installer gets stuck at this point:
"Checking sources.list(s) to contain sources ("weak")...
Please add necessary "deb-src" line(s) to your sources.list (and run an update)."

I don't know what lines it wants me to add. What sources do I need? I'm confused :( I think this is a simple noob thing that I'm just overlooking, can anyone help?

FONT QUESTIONS! Got some quickies... anyone know things about fonts in /fglt/? Halp if you do.

I'd like to just import all of the fonts from macOS Sierra and Windows 10 into my Arch install. Have both OSes handy and can just copy over shit.

1) What's the best place to put them in?

2) Any stability/performance issues with just bulk-copying fonts? I think MS font dir is 330MB and macOS is ~300MB.

3) What the fuck is TTC font extension and can I read it under Arch? I have a font called "Songti.ttc" and have no idea what the fuck it is and what that format is...

Thanks bros!

The man pages are long too. Why couldn't this be one with one simple program?

Apparently the thing wrong with my attempts to install Linux is that the Linux installer used has no way to correct itself and expects everything to be perfectly formatted for UEFI. And it shits itself to death if something is amiss and shares no possible solutions to the actual problem.

Hey, wanted to ask a question regarding video playback / overall performance on Linux.
Running any distro (don't want to start a flame war, but primarily Arch) on my old laptop, video streaming performance is horrible as compared to Windows 10 running on the same machine. Am I just fucked because there's no good driver for my old machine, or is Linux' video performance worse just generally trash?
I just switched to Win10 again on it, since I only use this laptop to watch Youtube & other streaming. It outperforms any distro by far, the video playback is smooth and there are no audio delays or issues. But I hate the UI and keybinds. The whole OS is just not appealing to me. Is there a reason for this other than poor hardware support on linux, or should I try a more mainstream distro, like Ubuntu for Windows-like performance?

Yeah. The list of websites it is known to work with is currently at 1001. YouTube is only 0.000999 percent of what it's capable of, less actually since I'm sure it works on sites they don't have listed. I have never seen anywhere it didn't work. It blew me away when I tried to use it to dl the video from tweets and it worked. It's an amazing tool.

>>59576565
Like something that isn't attached to an existing trademark, and makes it clear that it can download videos from basically everywhere. youtube-dl sounds like a shitty shell script someone wrote for personal use.

>>59576651
Yeah, but it's already know as youtube-dl
why change it

>>59576651
Well the only other similar program I know of is called xvideoservicetheif. Start using that. I like calling it youtube-dl it just isn't apparent to newfags how capable it really is.

does anybody here run their own server? I've had a Centos 7 VPS for about a week now. Trying so set up email, webmail and Nextcloud on it. It's pretty challenging, but a good opportunity to improve my sysadmin skills.

fun moments:
- logging in with ssh for the first time: 140 unsucessful logins (bots trying to bruteforce ssh)
- after securing ssh I locked myself out of the server by changing the port in the config file, but not on the firewall..
- current: whenever I activate imap and smtp in the firewall, a dutch address tries to send email. No idea if it's malicious or not

Also, systemd is shit. Less than a week and already my whole syslogs were corrupted and journald didn't show the logs chronologically anymore.

>fail2ban
do I still need this even if I'm not running an ssh server?

>>59577418
It covers any service. Basically it watches log files and matches a regex. After multiple attempts it will block ip/port depending on what you want. SSH/Apache and other common stuff is built in, but it works with everything. I'd use it.

>>59577456

>>59577393
no fail2ban yet. I changed the port to 7555 and that stopped all automated attacks. Definitely considering it though, thanks for the advice.

Currently I'm working on getting TLS working with the mail server (postfix+dovecot) and then I'll have a consolidation phase of one week where I will take steps such as fail2ban in order to make sure that part of the server is secure.
Afterwards I'll open up huge security gaps again by installing apache..

>>59577456
Is setting up sshd with

PasswordAuthentication no

and using my RSA key to connect secure enough, or do I need to do anything else?

>>59577512
Yeah, just make sure keyauth is enabled.

I uninstalled some stuff in Debian and it automatically removed xorg. I understand this is because xorg is a metapackage. Then I restarted and everything worked properly. Shouldn't my DE be broken without xorg? I have installed FreeBSD before and I know that you need xorg to install any DE, so how can my DE work after uninstalling xorg?

>>59577512
https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html

Also, fail2ban is useless. The bots will just wait until the ban expires and continue trying to log in until they're done with their password list.

What's your backend?

Arch packages should always be the latest stable version. If they're not, report them.
And you can always use the ABS or just write the PKGBUILD yourself to get any version you want.

>>59578696
Fucking use pacman and build a PKGBUILD if you need a newer version of something,you can most likely already find a PKGBUILD of it and just change the version information. ALWAYS ALWAYS use pacman to manage your packages dont fucking install them outside of it or it will fuck your system up at some point with deps

Hey, I have a problem.

I'm trying to create a new partition from the ubuntu live usb using gparted, but i get an error whenever i hit apply

"e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-may-2015)
/dev/sda1 has unsupported feature(s): metadata csum
e2fsck: get a newer version of e2fsck!"

This is a problem as the ubuntu live usb doesn't have internet. Wat do?

>>59578740
Get a newer ubuntu live usb or some other distro that has a newer version of e2fsck?

Also
>the ubuntu live usb doesn't have internet
Why?

>>59578696
Current git version in arch is 2.12.1
but the 2.12.2 was released.

>>59578781

Forget about it, I'm an idiot. If I use the updater from the Live USB, will it work?

>>59578867
What package? Is it reported out of date?

And as I said, just get the PKGBUILD from the ABS, change the version number and install it with makepkg -i.

>>59578870
If the ubuntu repos have a new enough version, yes.

>>59578910

The simple creation of your own packages is one of the biggest advantages of arch.

And yes, changing a number, running one command and having it maintained by your package manager is simpler than doing everything manually.

I love pacman and packages, but compiling and installing in my home is still what I prefer. Especially if I patch.
>And yes, changing a number, running one command and having it maintained by your package manager is simpler than doing everything manually.
I commit a shell script in the git repo, that I rebase on each update to recompile and reinstall everything. Fucking easy. I could even add the rebase in the shell sccript.

Seriously, if you use linux, you should know the advantages of package managers. With arch you can easily get them for your own packages. Why are we even discussing this.

I install softwares in my HOME dir for 17 years and never got problems. I know what I am doing. I don't want to packages thing and install non official packages in my system.

I have them both running, but I can't really open up more than one tab.

What happens is that I run tabbed surf -e in dmenu, and a window pops up with a white background. This works fine.
Then, if I open a new tab the background is black, and if I enter a URL the tab says it is loading, but the actual window stays black. Am I doing something wrong here? Really can't figure it out.

Next you're gonna say that you don't use the AUR. Why are you even using arch? This is what this distro is made for. There are wiki pages describing this process in detail.

Also, what about packages in the community repo? Do you consider them "official"? You realize that they're not maintained by the arch devs, right?

I use it to have a pygame working with modern python. But I try to avoid it. I use it only if I don't want to build the software from source.

>>59579208
>Why are you even using arch?
Because it's stable and provide a lot of up to date already compiled software.

>>59579208
>community repo?
I am OK with that.

>>59579263
Yes, so updated content is put in to testing to see how it works with the latest set of software.If there are no issues in the GNOME project and other projects and or programs, it is pushed in to main.

This is standard practice

how many aur packages are maintained by the goverment?

>>59579283
Not enough :*)

>>59579267
>I use it only if I don't want to build the software from source.
But you do build it from source if you use the AUR.

Well, I give up. If you think cluttering your file system with random software (even if it's just your home dir) is somehow cleaner than having files tracked by your package manger and compiling / installing by hand is somehow easier than letting a script do it, so be it.

>>59579374
>But you do build it from source if you use the AUR.
I mean myself, not with a PKGBUILD script.

>cleaner than having files tracked by your package manger
I never got problem with softwares in my HOME, NEVER. but I don't remind how many times I have to delete files because some official packages start to complain about already existing files.

>>59579401
>but I don't remind how many times I have to delete files because some official packages start to complain about already existing files.
That's why you use your package manager. So that stuff like that doesn't happen. Installing your own package will replace the one you have installled. And when a new version is available in the repos, it will replace your own package, including every single file you installed.

>>59579401
Then just write your own PKGBUILD. You already use a script, right?

>>59579450
>So that stuff like that doesn't happen
It happens because of packages of the package manager.

Some time I have to remove files to unblock pacman. And no I didn't fiddle with my OS, I am not at fault.

>>59579467
>Then just write your own PKGBUILD. You already use a script, right?
And install it as root in my OS when I can install it in my home? No way.

Why are you arguing guys? I am a developer, I patch a lot, I don't want to create packages each time I build something and log as root (yes log as root) to install a non tested package.

There have been a few cases where packaging changed and you had to manually delete files. All of those cases have been announced on the arch website.
I have no idea what made you think that installing your own packages could somehow cause this.

>I am a developer, I patch a lot, I don't want to create packages each time I build something
Doing it with software that you develop is completely fine. There's just no reason to do it if all you want is a new version.

>to install a non tested package.
If it's broken, all you have to do is downgrade. Fucking pacman -Suu will do it for you.

>>59579510
>unless there is a relevant update that provides functionality that i want.
how do you check for that? check every day? heh. we're back to square one.

>>59579529
No. I am talking about shitty official packages that use bugged scripts, packages will be stable only when execution of arbitrary code will be impossible.

>>59579565
>There have been a few cases where packaging changed and you had to manually delete files. All of those cases have been announced on the arch website.
Yes, and it annoy me to touch at that.

Git, ocaml, emacs and i3 never annoy me. NEVER. So I am happy with my dirty install.
>If it's broken, all you have to do is downgrade. Fucking pacman -Suu will do it for you.
That's fucking complex compared to install in my HOME dir. I don't compromise the entire OS
