Arch Linux on aarch64 gpg keys

Posted by james on 12 June 2018, 6:21 pm

If you have an issue with gpg verification of packages the instructions are slightly different to recover as the signing keys are different:

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm

1 2	pacman-key --init pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm

This is if you get errors like:

error: mutt: signature from "Arch Linux ARM Build System &lt;builder@archlinuxarm.org&gt;" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mutt-1.10.0-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] y
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

gsconnect – native kdeconnect for gnome

Posted by james on 9 May 2018, 10:36 am

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1319/gsconnect/ is a fantastic implementation of kdeconnect which allows you interface with your android phone from your linux desktop. I had some issues configuring it on Fedora as I was previously using kdeconnectd so gsconnect defaulted to the next available port (1717). To resolve this I removed kdeconnectd (yum remove), uninstalled gsconnect (rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gsconnect@andyholmes.github.io), …
