[arch-general] Is Linux 4.3 stable?

2016-01-04 Thread Bennett Piater
Hi everyone, I just saw that 4.3.3-2 hit stable. There are still open bugs, one of them critical, about the 4.3 series on the bug tracker. I heard of a lot of issues around this kernel on the dev-public mailing list. Does anyone have problems with this update? Also, does anyone have problems

I'm another extremely satisfied i3wm user. Dmenu is amazing, and everything about i3 is so clean. The config file syntax, the design principles, the container system, the looks... I use ranger as a (text-mode) file manager and dolphin when I want a graphical one. Gwenview as image viewer. I tend

[arch-general] netctl-auto and netctl refuse to work (probably due to wpa_supplicant)

2015-12-11 Thread Bennett Piater
Hello, I cannot connect to wifi networks using netctl or netctl-auto. Some journalctl -xe output is attached for the two types of errors I encountered. The only action I could remember that could have had anything to do with this was an upgrade of wpa_supplicant, so I googled and found [0].

2015-11-11 Thread Bennett Piater
Hello! I installed Arch on my new Thinkpad T450s over the weekend. Everything works well, but I have a question: I use systemd-networkd to manage my network interfaces and netctl for the connections. I set everything up according to (this)[0] and (this)[1] to get automatic activation of wifi via

Re: [arch-general] Add wpa_supplicant to the Group 'Base'

2015-04-25 Thread Bennett Piater
In my opinion wpa_supplicant is an important tool, so is it possible to add it to the group 'base'? I strongly disagree. wpa_supplicant is pretty huge and unnecessary for many people, and it also introduces a large additional surface area for exploits. Bennett -- GPG fingerprint: 871F 1047
