After upgrading to 3.18 I found that my rsync backup to a CIFS
filesystem was failing on filenames that contained reserved characters
in the set :<>|*?\
According to [1] the default strategy for handling these characters
changed in 3.18, but in my experience (and according to [2]) it didn't

The thread about the postgresql update reminded me of one of the few
things about Ubuntu that I miss: package updates usually included a
useful changelog entry describing what was fixed and/or new. Perhaps I

I think it's intended to guarantee that pam_close_session() is closed
when its parent "systemd --user" exits. However, on my system it seems

I've installed arch in a qemu virtual machine, and I've specified
FONT=Lat2-Terminus16 in /etc/vconsole.conf. When the machine boots I
can see the effect of that font being installed, but soon after the
console font is reset to some default value. This happens with qemu's

It seems to me that, compared to cron/anacron, systemd timers currently
offer reduced functionality and no clear benefit (I don't consider the
act of uninstalling cron to have significant value in itself). Losing
the ability to control when jobs run is giving up a lot; without that,

I've just started playing with lxc, and found that if I create a
container with:
# lxc-create -n arch -t archlinux
and then start it:
# lxc-start -n arch
