Ahhhh. I see. Gnome related. As I’m on KDE Plasma, I’ve not suffered any issues… so far.
Blaming a bunch of teenagers with too much time on their hand during summer break for writing scripts for DDoS attack on AUR is not cool.
Rather it is the government. It is out to get Arch for its communist leanings and free software. The CIA, FBI and FEMA have brainwashed a bunch of teenage mutant turtles and apes to go after AUR. Their aim so as to create a bunch of animals to train their LLM models which they can report back to their alien overlords. This way the truth about why we never went back to Moon post Apollo would not come out.
Phew. ![]()
Might be gnome related as I too have no issues on kde plasma
It’s related to the 580 driver as I wasn’t having issues on the 575 drive and more people were having this issue. They have made a fix but it didn’t make it into the released driver version. It’s all in the Nvidia 580 topic I shared.
Most alien craft stay away since they put up that big sign outside Pluto’s orbit saying:
SYSTEM UNDER QUARANTINE!
Highly infectious craziness rules on 3rd planet!
Seems to be still problematic when trying to update.
Fwiw, I successfully updated two EOS systems yesterday afternoon without issue…. Although one was very slow (Ethernet) and the other zipped right along (Wi-Fi). Go figure. Neither is gnome based. Although I use some kde stuff, they are i3-wm environments. Might have something to do with things. ![]()
So now the main Arch website & forums are down… It seems a script kiddie is having fun ddos’ing and they’re posting comments on reddit like: “You want other parts of the website to offline too, because I have no problem with doing that.” Probably exploiting CVE-2025-8671, big deal, all hail the hacker king!!!1!
“Unrelated to the issue with the DDoS attacks”. Ok so the guy on reddit is just a poser…
