Latest News Sorting out old password hashes 2021-06-08 Starting with libxcrypt 4.4.21, weak password hashes (such as MD5 and SHA1 ) are no longer accepted for new passwords. Users that still have their passwords stored with a weak hash will be asked to update their password on their next login. If the login just fails (for example from display manager) switch to a virtual terminal ( Ctrl-Alt-F2 ) and log in there once. Move of official IRC channels to libera.chat 2021-05-24 As some of you may have read over the past days, there has been an ownership dispute over the freenode.net network. The IRC network has been used by Arch Linux and many other projects over the past decades as a platform for discussion and support. The dispute led to the exodus of most former freenode staff from the network and the founding of a new network: libera.chat Starting today, Arch Linux and its sister projects Arch Linux ARM and Arch Linux 32 will begin migrating the official IRC channels from freenode.net to libera.chat.

If, for any reason, you are using a kernel version prior to 5.9, make sure to change mkinitcpio.conf COMPRESSION to use one of the compressors supported, like gzip, otherwise you will not be able to boot images generated by mkinitcpio. Chromium losing Sync support in early March 2021-02-03 Google has announced that they are going to block everything but Chrome from accessing certain Google features (like Chrome sync) starting on March 15. This decision by Google is going to affect Arch's chromium package a bit earlier, on March 2, when Chromium 89 gets released. We know for sure that data syncing will stop working (passwords, bookmarks, etc.). Other features such as geolocation or enhanced spell check might continue to function for a bit longer. Extensions integrating with Google Drive might misbehave and LibreOffice will lose access to documents stored there. Other distros such as openSUSE and Fedora have … Older News 2021-01-28 PHP 8.0 and PHP 7 legacy packages are available 2021-01-14 Manual pages indexing service 2020-12-31 Arch Linux mailing list id changes 2020-11-01 Accessible installation medium 2020-10-23 libtraceevent>=5.9-1 update requires manual intervention 2020-10-21 nvidia 455.28 is incompatible with linux >= 5.9 2020-10-01 ghostpcl>=9.53.2-2 and ghostxps>=9.53.2-2 updates require manual intervention 2020-09-23 Arch Conf 2020 schedule 2020-09-09 Kill Arch Bugs: Help us on the 13th of September! 2020-07-28 AUR Migration: New SSH HostKeys Package Search: Recent Updates ( more ) todoman 4.1.0-1 any nextcloud-app-spreed 1:13.0.1-1 any mediathekview 13.8.1-1 any opencv 4.5.4-10 x86_64 llvm 13.0.0-6 x86_64 libinput 1.19.3-1 x86_64 nvidia-utils 495.46-1 x86_64 nvidia-lts 1:495.46-1 x86_64 nvidia 495.46-1 x86_64 lib32-nvidia-utils 495.46-1 x86_64 aliyun-cli 3.0.101-1 x86_64 zellij 0.22.0-1 x86_64 telegram-desktop 3.3.0-1 x86_64 libtg_owt 0.git9.d5c3d43-3 x86_64 cockpit-machines 258.1-1 x86_64 Documentation Wiki Manual Pages Installation Guide Community Mailing Lists IRC Channels Planet Arch International Communities Support Donate Products via Unixstickers T-shirts via Freewear T-shirts via HELLOTUX Tools Mirrorlist Updater Mirror List Mirror Status Development Getting involved Projects in Git SVN Repositories Developer Wiki Package Groups Todo Lists ISO Release List Visualizations Differences Reports People Developers Trusted Users Support Staff Developer Fellows Trusted User Fellows Support Staff Fellows Signing Master Keys More Resources Press Coverage Logos & Artwork News Archives RSS Feeds Copyright © 2002-2021 Judd Vinet , Aaron Griffin and Levente Polyák .
