Gewinnspielausschreibung des #c3gov
Wir hoffen auf eine rege Teilnahme!
Alright, if you want to roll Arch back from today to a version where Kicad 9 and kikit worked, you are going to run into a bunch of forum threads insisting anyone who wants to do this is an idiot. Ignore them.
Edit your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and comment out your existing servers. Add instead:
Server = https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2026/03/19/$repo/os/$arch
Run: pacman -Syyuu
The update will probably fail because it's mad about file conflicts due to a lua version change. They are pacman being conservative, you can override them. I was able to get the upgrade to complete by doing this:
pacman -Syu lua --overwrite '*lua*'
pacman -Syyuu --overwrite '*materialx*'
And then reboot, for good measure.
This will, however, entirely break Firefox, which I will address in the next reply.
PSA: kikit is _not_ compatible with Kicad 10 as of this writing. It also turns out to be difficult to partial-downgrade Arch's Kicad package to 9.x, because it straddles a Python minor version update and depends on a bazillion .sos.
So if you're on a rolling-release distro and depend on kikit, I guess don't update your computer for a while?
I really don't want to have to stuff all of this into a dedicated VM but sometimes I think I might have to.
(Edited to add, since this is getting boosted: I have worked out the downgrade process in the replies.)
oopsie woopsie, gotta read up on how FIT really works

Want to see some cute gadgets?
Come to the #CLT2026 Plan 9 booth!
We have a PinePhone (Allwinner A64) running 9front, and a little Lichee RV (Allwinner D1) that you can cpu into!

Heck yeah, xiaomi-pyxis now boots on 6.19
Turns out that while there are indeed regressions in Qualcomm’s DRM, they don’t impact functionality (mostly just kernel oops about enabling/disabling clocks).
Problem was actually an… NFC interrupt. Setting it to IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH causes boot hang, but works if it’s set to IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING (Thanks to @flamingradian for pointing me to the patch) 
The Call for Contribution for the ALASCA Summit 2026 is currently open and we'd love it if you would be a part of it! 💚
