Hi,

Wondering if the Archlinux dev "seberm" is on this list, and what (if
anything) is happening with the Qubes AUR packages?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=qubes

I have been using these repos (the six of them that are not "empty")
to keep my Arch AppVM alive for quite some time now (years?) and for
the first time in a very long time, I seem to have a hard failure. The
Arch VM boots, but X does not work.

(Basically, if no one is working this I need to move on from Arch....)

TIA.....

I cant help with the AUR.
I build Arch packages for 4.0 and 4.1, and update them probably twice a
month ( other constraints permitting)
You can pick up templates and packages at https://qubes.3isec.org

Thanks very much for doing that, my Arch template originally came from
your repo.

I imported your package signing key with pacman-key ("pacman-key
--finger unman" finds the key just fine) but if I try to do an upgrade
(pacman -Syu) I get (transcribed so there may be typos):

error: qubes-r4.0: signature from "unman (Qubes OS Signing Key)
<un...@thirdeyesecurity.org>" is invalid

Any thoughts? (I think I hit this iceberg before, and that is why I
have been using the AUR packages.)

I've just confirmed that this works fine for me.
Can you try downloading the key from the Ubuntu keyserver, and checking against
the details at my GitHub account?

"Signature is invalid" - strange error. Is your date/time correct?
