You've reached the website of the Parabola GNU/Linux-libre operating system. The Parabola project is a community driven effort to provide a fully Free (as in freedom) operating system that is simple and lightweight.
Derived from Arch (the GNU/Linux distribution), Parabola provides packages from it that meet the Free System Distribution Guidelines (FSDG) and replacements for the packages that don't meet this requirement. Packages are provided for the i686, x86_64, and armv7h architectures.
Our community is friendly and helpful. Please hop on IRC channel and check out our mailing lists to get your feet wet. Also glance through our wiki if you want to learn more about Parabola.
The newest version of PAM has an unspecified dependency on the 'audit' package. Upgrading that package today causes su and sudo to fail and makes logins impossible.
To avoid any trouble, you should explicitly install the 'audit' package before attempting to upgrade the system. If you upgrade without first installing the 'audit' package, then you will need to chroot into the system and install it.
The rather long outage (2018-08-27 through 2018-09-18; 22 days) of the
proton.parabola.nu server has been resolved, with all services being
migrated to winston.parabola.nu. Please notify us if you encounter
any lingering issues.
We'd like to specifically thank Jonathan "n1md4" Gower for graciously hosting us at Positive Internet all these years--since before most of us were even Parabola users, let alone contributors.
However, that sponsorship has come to an end. We are alright for now; the server that 1984 Hosting is sponsoring us with is capable of covering our immediate needs. We are looking for a ...
Due to a known bug in upstream Linux 4.18, users with older multi-core x86 CPUs (Core 2 Duo and earlier?) may not correctly boot up with linux-libre 4.18 when using the default clocksource.
If you are affected, and the CPU is new enough to support HPET, you may work around this by adding clocksource=hpet to the kernel command line. GRUB users can accomplish this by inserting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT+=" clocksource=hpet" in to /etc/default/grub and re-running grub-mkconfig.
If your CPU is too old to support HPET, you may work around this by using the linux-libre-lts (4.14 ...
The unar package has been dropped in favor of Arch's unarchiver. This was discussed in the mailing list some months ago.
If you are using unar, just install unarchiver. You'll be asked if you want to replace it, just accept and continue as any normal package installation.
The new versions of netctl and systemd-resolvconf may not be installed together. Users who have both netctl and systemd-resolvconf installed will need to manually switch to from systemd-resolvconf to openresolv before upgrading.
If you get an error
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'resolvconf' required by netctl
use
pacman -S openresolv
prior to upgrading.
