There's a saying: Hiding in plain sight. People are bombarded with all kinds of sensory stimulations, you can't process all the info even if it's true. Personally, I believe that this kind of phenomenon was taken into account and is actively used by the powers that will be and powers that are here to stay.
Again, what is the fear?
Distraction... or over stimulation... leading to what?

Can you even articulate what the actual fear is of?

and you are worried about snickers bars?
If you think the snickers bar is funny, I can replace it with much more fundamental needs such as water, food, electricity.
But all of those has always been public information, right?

You seem to be trying to articulate a fear that does not seem anything to be afraid of.

Package management / Re: Recent Update to Calibre Fails, not finding Qt_6.9
Last post by z3rOR0ne -
https://eu-mirror.artixlinux.org/omniverse/x86_64/ was fixed and updated today.

It should now list this tested and working version:

Code: [Select]
calibre-8.2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst                 05-Apr-2025 08:46     40M

artist

Yeah, I'm not getting this when I try and update. Updates since this time have been sparse, only extra is updating when I invoke `pacman -Syu`. Reinstalling calibre shows the old 8.0.1-3.

Something else is going on. I'm going to see what I can figure out on my own but any suggestions would be helpful.

Apologies that this thread is getting afar a field here.

EDIT:

Okay, so it turns out I was getting it from `extra` and `extra` is not omniverse. Invoking directly:

Code: [Select]
pacman -S omniverse/calibre

Installs the correct version, however python-pyqt6 is still on the old version on the world repo, which it defaults to, so I get the same error.

Still troubleshooting...

FURTHER EDIT:

Okay, so upon looking into it, it appears the clarkson.edu mirror hasn't been updated since March 29, but the ftp.ntua.gr mirror has been. Took me a second to figure out what was going on. Downloading now...gonna take a minute. Will update later.

FINAL EDIT:

Okay, so I might recommend reaching out to your repo maintainer at the clarkson.edu mirror and ask him to update his packages, as they are definitely out of date. The ftp.ntua.gr mirror gave me all the latest packages and fixed my issues. The calibre issue was related to this in part, but it's good to know I am getting it officially from omniverse and not extra now.

Otherwise I'm going to mark this as SOLVED. Thanks again for the help.

Installation / Migration / Configuration / Re: Replace patition failed

Most certainly a calamares bug, but aren't the partitions out of order? Not very familiar with the internals of sfdisk, perhaps the '--append' argument fails exactly because of that? I may become guilty of lost data here, but what if you moved sda3 right next to sda5 and Artix sda2 gets created in order? It's a relatively easy and (mostly) safe procedure to do with any partition manager like gparted.

Take a backup first.
