Octopi can't open on Parabola

https://labs.parabola.nu/projects/packages/issues still doesn't work for me (same thing happens on the forum) for days because this tremendous error: Sorry, in order to prevent spam, there are posting constraints on members newer than 2 days, and with fewer than 2 posts. Please try again in 20 minutes.

So I decided to write here the issue report:

architecture: x86_64
is nonsystemd enabled: no
is nonprism enabled: yes

steps to reproduce: install parabola gnu linux from cli iso, do "sudo pacman -S xf86-video-ati meta" in order to run sddm, then login in kde or xfce and open octopi from terminal

expected result: octopi opens

actual result: "Octopi: error while loading shared libraries: libqtermwidget5.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Parabola forum IS dead (?)

How can you edit or post after 20 min if when you try to do it you... can't...? 😓 many new users of Parabola goes to forum to have a solution of their problems and not to wait 2 days for an answer under a thread 😐 is this the correct way to promote free software? 🫥

Is this distro dead?

I had Parabola up next in my distro-hopping, and I don't even see a current amd64 release... and that forum is looking nearly abandoned....

Error trying to update Parabola

I have the following error when trying to update parabola:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: installing qt5-base (5.15.15+kde+r127-1) breaks dependency 'qt5-base<5.15.15' required by python-pyqt5

:: installing qt5-base (5.15.15+kde+r127-1) breaks dependency 'qt5-base<5.15.15' required by qt5-webkit

Do you have any suggestion how to solve it?

Using qutebrowser in Parabola Linux

Hey, just installed Qutebrowser on my Parabola Linux T60. I'm running a fresh OS install with just Xmonad WM. When opening sites like Reddit or YouTube, the sites are broken-ish. I couldn't find any information on that via google search or in parabola wiki.

I haven't tried a different browser yet, but is this qutebrowser related or is Parabola by default blocking ( I'm guessing ) JavaScript?

I installed qutebrowser via pacman, perhaps any missing dependencies?

New to Free Software

Hey, I'm new tof ree software, if I install Parabola GNU will everything work well, such as being able to connect to the internet on a PC, not a laptop?

I ask because I heard some distros need special hardware for that, thank you =]!

Migration failing

Hi,
I'm on a minimal arch installation, using the archinstall script.

The system is as minimal as the script allows, apart for NetworkManager and its dependencies.

I've followed the guide and can't upgrade with this line:

pacman -Suu your-freedom pacman

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

The package "systemd-libs" apparently breaks dependency with the library "libsystemd.so"

This library is required by dbus, dbus-broker, p11-kit, pcsclite, and utils-linux

Is there anything that can be helped ? If not, there might be a need to update the guide on Parabola's website.

ath9k

Edit: Solved, installed the package: wireless-regdb

Updated today, wifi broken (athk9 - Atheros). Seems odd as obviously this is the gnu kernel, so would have thought this would be something that wouldn't happen with this card in particular. Modprobe doesn't help.

Anyone else had the same issue? Suggestions?

Edit: related dmesg output:

[6.811172] ath9k 0000:03:00.0: Failed to initialize device
[6.811193] ath9k: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -12

Parabola Linux ISO file needs to be updated.

I need the current version of the Parabola Linux ISO file to be 6.6.7 because my laptop doesn't support previous kernels. Can you release a new ISO file with this kernel version?

Dependency Issues Why?

NOTE: Tried at length to post this in parabola's forum but posts just won't go through.

Yesterday I tried to update parabola, updating thew some issues that some dependencies couldn't be resolved.

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 nonsystemd is up to date
 libre is up to date

:: installing gst-plugins-base-libs (1.22.7-1) breaks dependency 'gst-plugins-     base-libs=1.22.6' required by gst-plugins-bad-libs

So I removed that package and its dependencies with -Rnucs.

doas pacman -Runcs gst-plugins-bad-libs

Following which the update went smoothly

Then tried reinstalling the packages for example

doas pacman -S transmission-gtk
doas (*****@unix) password: 
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "gst-plugins-base-libs=1.22.6", a dependency of "gst-plugins-bad-libs"
warning: cannot resolve "gst-plugins-bad-libs", a dependency of "gtk4" 
warning: cannot resolve "gtk4", a dependency of "transmission-gtk"
warning: cannot resolve "gst-plugins-base-libs=1.22.6", a dependency of "gst-plugins-bad-libs"
warning: cannot resolve "gst-plugins-bad-libs", a dependency of "gtk4"
warning: cannot resolve "gtk4", a dependency of "gtkmm-4.0"
warning: cannot resolve "gtkmm-4.0", a dependency of "transmission-gtk"

Even though Pacman -Syu throws up no errors, everything syncing fine, some packages it just cant resolve.

I've tried even installing a few other things, and depencies can't be met.

[****@unix ~]$ doas pacman -S gpaint
doas (*****@unix) password: 
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libglade", a dependency of "gpaint"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      gpaint

Could anyone throw some light onto what has happened here, this came out of the clear blue sky.

Thanks

Nonsystemd base requires typo pkg?

I just made an account so i cannot submit a bug report on the main site.

It seems nonsystemd base now requires your-init-freedom but the package is called your-initfreedom, causing upgrades to fail with this error.

warning: cannot resolve "your-init-freedom", a dependency of "base"

6.3.3-gnu-1

Is Parabola safe in terms of security updates? And is the OpenRC version going to die?

I am planning to use Parabola as my Main OS but i am a bit worried because the team is small and i dont know if all security updates are fast enough?

Also i am worried if the openrc version is going to die because there isnt a openrc install iso anymore.

OpenRC live cd?

Please help.. Network Manager not working

This has been such a horrible experience trying to get Parabola Linux-libre working and so far I've not been able to get networkmanager started. I'm using the openrc version because I couldn't be bothered with systemd again. It says I need dbus, which I have both dbus and dbus-openrc, but there's no init file for openrc to enable. I try nmtui, and all I get is "Could not contact NetworkManager: Could not connect: No such file or directory." I followed the very broken Parabola documentation twice and got the exact same result. I come from Gentoo, and I honestly find that to be easier than Arch based distros like this. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Please help me.

Parabola and Non-free software

Does Parabola prevent you from installing non-free software? (free as in freedom)

I think my wifi card has a non-free driver which I would have to install in order for my wifi to work, would this be possible?
