:information_source: linux-firmware 20220119.0c6a7b3-2 requires kernel >=5.3 and package splitting

2022-01-21 - Andreas Radke

The linux-firmware package 20220119.0c6a7b3-2 implements kernel firmware compression. Linux kernel from 5.3 on support loading from xz compressed firmware.
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_COMPRESS kernel option must be enabled. All official Arch Linux kernel support this for a long time. [1]

The linux-firmware package has been split into smaller packages to further reduce required disk space. Some big firmware files of rarely used hardware have been split into separate packages.
This affects firmware for Mellanox Spectrum switches, Marvell devices, Qualcomm SoCs, Cavium LiquidIO server adapters, QLogic devices, Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb ethernet adapters.
Make sure to install additional firmware packages if needed. [2]

[1] FS#72899
[2] FS#72559 + svn commit

:point_right: For users with kernels <5.3 installed, they will need to migrate to a 5.x kernel. The 4.x series is now dropped from the repos. :point_left:

Any difference from linux-firmware-whence provided by Arch Linux?

I’m really liking reduced size of linux-firmware.

linux-firmware-whence is provided by Arch. We just created the linux4x- overlays for kernels <5.3.

new update on sudo requires merging of new syntax in /etc/sudoers file. i merged using kompare and did the final change (for my user) only in visudo, and there were no complains. hope that is ok

After recent upgrade to manjaro-system (20210612-1 → 20220202-1).
User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Fix: Uncomment these two lines

## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

## Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

That is strange that here on Manjaro, sudo just worked without uncommenting those lines. I have

Manjaro:

## User privilege specification
##
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

In Arch (VM), I received that same comment as you, which I fixed by adding myself:
Arch:

## User privilege specification
##
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
jrichard ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

this? [Testing Update] 2022-02-01 - Kernels, Pipewire 0.3.44, Qt5, Mesa 21.3.5, Wine 7.0 - #31 by omano (EDIT 2 and 3)

This should not have happen, it removed the file discussed in link above. [Testing Update] 2022-02-01 - Kernels, Pipewire 0.3.44, Qt5, Mesa 21.3.5, Wine 7.0 - #36 by philm

My solution:
su
then:
groups

Result: exists no group called “sudo”
Therefore (as root):
groupadd sudo
then
usermod -a -G sudo "user"
and reboot. Voila.

latest sudo (1.9.9-2) has “disable non-interactive auth”.

does that mean keyword “NOPASSWD:” is no more in-affect in sudoers file. :slightly_frowning_face:
