I understand fractional scaling in XWayland hasn't been fixed and should look blurry, but shouldn't integer scaling work? Is there some fix to this? I've tried both AUR and flatpak Spotify. submitted by /u/Fernomin [link] [comments]

I recently got a laptop on sale and intend to install Arch Linux on it, although I lack prior experience with Linux on laptops. While gaming will remain on my Windows partition, I plan to use Arch with KDE for all other tasks. Could you recommend programs and settings for optimal fan control, RGB management, and extended battery life? submitted by /u/House-Wins [link] [comments]
Found it out while playing a game later discovered it's issue of the system. Installed arch a week ago and mouse keyboard synced well. It's a laptop. Don't know much about drivers anything would help. EDIT: Sorry silly error.

So we all know the hassle of Windows and having to basically tell every game which cores to use and having programs run in the background to run on the 3d cores. I was hoping for the 9950X3D to have 3d cache on all cores, but that seems to not happen. Is Linux able to simply use the correct cores or how do i have to handle this issue, IF i get the 9950X3d? submitted by /u/Think-Morning4766 [link] [comments]
Ok, long story I know, you can skip to the "Question" part if you just want to get to the important part. Basically, I have a prebuilt desktop PC from HP that has a severe error with the graphics card and possibly also the motherboard. When the graphics card is in use, it frequently (several times a day) and randomly (very unpredictably) hangs, stopping all video output to the displays. The only way to "fix" this is to hard reset, either by holding down the power button or unplugging and plugging the PC back in again. This happens on Windows 10, 11, and Arch, regardless of driver version. It is a hardware issue, likely a manufacturing defect. Back when I used Windows 11, I could not find any relevant error codes in event viewer, but upon switching to Arch, I was quick to realise an error code that popped up every single time I encountered the issue at the exact moment: Xid 79, GPU has fallen off the bus. I know this sounds like it just isn't inserted in the PCIe bus correctly, but according to nvidia, it's likely due to failing, defective, or otherwise damaged components. Considering this has happened since day one, it is most likely a manufacturing defect. I have ruled out other potential causes (e.g., thermal, memory, driver issues etc.) myself. Question I am returning the PC to HP under its extended warranty hoping to get the faulty components replaced. When I installed Arch, I removed the Windows SSD (putting it in an external hard drive if I ever needed it for whatever reason) and replaced it with a new SSD which I installed Arch onto. However, I was told by HP to replace the Arch SSD with the original Windows SSD so that all the original components are as expected. Unfortunately, this means that the evidence of the Xid 79 errors will not be visible by HP when inspecting the device for evidence of the error since it will now have Windows on it. For this reason, I would also like to give them a USB containing my journal logs so that they can inspect it for proof. So, how can I export the system journal onto a USB such that it can be read by the HP warranty team? (I use KDE Plasma if that's relevant at all) submitted by /u/Nautical-Myles [link] [comments]

Ever since I changed the motherboard with a newer and better one, the audio profiles I had with the old motherboard are gone (there used to be "Analog Audio 2.1 Output + Input" and now that profile is missing), thus making the audio output sound like cheap Chinese speakers for $2. Then I was told that Arch is using pipewire by default (which I never wanted and nobody asked me if I wanted it, either). So - how can I completely disable pipewire and switch back to pulseaudio? submitted by /u/rado84bg [link] [comments]

I read into the wiki and found this (the note in red). Now, I am wondering if my laptop also uses Lenovo CA certificate to sign its UEFI firmware and applications. And, if that is the case what can do to enable secure boot in that case? MORE INFORMATION- I am dual-booting with windows. So, I'll also be following this. I seem to not have a problem with optionRom files as they are not a part of my bootchain. Read this for more info. Now, I wanted to figure out a way to know it my UEFI firmware is signed by Lenovo CA certificate or not, and if it is not then validate it. This is all I could find- $ efi-readvar -v db Variable db, length 3969 db: List 0, type X509 Signature 0, size 1515, owner 77fa9abd-0359-4d32-bd60-28f4e78f784b Subject: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011 Issuer: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=Microsoft Root Certificate Authority 2010 db: List 1, type X509 Signature 0, size 1572, owner 77fa9abd-0359-4d32-bd60-28f4e78f784b Subject: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011 Issuer: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=Microsoft Corporation Third Party Marketplace Root db: List 2, type X509 Signature 0, size 798, owner e04fd794-033e-46a0-81d2-048e8da1432e Subject: CN=OK Certificate Issuer: CN=OK Certificate Now, I know "77fa9abd-0359-4d32-bd60-28f4e78f784b" is Microsoft's GUID, but there's another GUID present "e04fd794-033e-46a0-81d2-048e8da1432e".

I am considering switching to Arch Linux because of some issues with the Windows operating system. As a beginner, I am using VirtualBox to experience it before actually switching to Arch on my main machine. After downloading Arch, I tried to install Hyprland and encountered the following message: [INFO] !!!!HEY YOU, YES YOU!!!!: further logs to stdout / logfile are disabled by default. BEFORE SENDING THIS LOG, ENABLE THEM. Use debug:disable_logs = false to do so: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Variables/#debug. At first, I ignored it, but when I started Hyprland and logged in, the screen was completely black, so I think this is the issue I'm facing. Can anyone offer some solutions? I really appreciate everyone's help. submitted by /u/Mediocre_Antelope639 [link] [comments]

About a month ago, I scaled my build down from ATX to ITX. Most of the components stayed the same, including the CPU, RAM, and SSDs, but I had to switch motherboards to accommodate the ITX form factor. Since making this change, I've noticed some new messages during boot. Specifically, right after mounting the /efi partition, I see repeated "ata4.00" error messages, as shown in this screenshot. I've done some research, and it seems these errors could point to a failing drive. However, I've run smartctl on all my drives, and there are no signs of failure. For reference, here are my drives: 1 NVMe SSD (Arch) 1 NVMe SSD (Windows) 1 SATA SSD (storage) The messages only started showing up after I migrated to the ITX motherboard. Could this be related to the new motherboard, or is there something else I should investigate? I've changed the SATA cable connected to the SATA SSD, and now I'm wondering if it could be the SATA ports on the motherboard. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?

Hello everyone. So the title says it all actually but I'll elaborate: I installed steam on arch using pacman and then I updated everything using pacman -Syu and then rebooted using terminal. After rebooting it went to the point where it says "Loading initial ramdisk" and then it turned into a black screen. I am using tty to log in so I was hoping for it to show up but nothing happened after 30 minutes. So I rebooted again and reset bios settings and reseated the ram, HDD, etc but no luck. I tried to reinstall arch using a USB stick containing the iso image. But the same exact thing happens there too. I get a black screen after pressing arch install medium Can anyone help? Thank you. submitted by /u/Tahsin8080 [link] [comments]
Generating my fallback image using mkinitcpio hangs endlessly on the autodetect hook. This is very bad because this will a) probably result in an unusable system and b) I have to abort pacman and all other post transaction hooks aren't executed. There are no errors printed in the terminal and journalctl is giving me no hints either. How should I proceed to find the cause?

I've been switching on and off between Gnome Xorg and Sway for some time for work, and as I notice it now, my system has became very laggy. There are framerate drops occuring when I use mpv to watch something or VSCode adding some new lines to a completely empty file. Everything takes forever. My specs are Ryzen 7 8845H + 780M + 32gb ram, which should be enough for all every day tasks. Also, I have checked my SSD with smart long test and it completed without any errors. Lately, I've updated the system to the latest linux version, and there was a problem with USB drive which took about 2 minutes to load, until I unplugged it and the boot went fine. Outside of those stutters, nothing really is the problem, so I suspect that my drive or partition somehow got messed up, however `fsck` did not help. Please help, I'll provide with any info necessary EDIT: Noticed it happens only when I don't move my mouse. Every video player stutters: mpv, vlc, even youtube!

So I've been using arch for a bit over a year now. I daily drive it on my work laptop and home pc, both were installed manually. But recently I've come across my first few issues. And while I'm sure i can troubleshoot it further a part of me wants to wipe the slate clean. So I want to know, which install method has given you less issues/complications in the long run?

3 days ago I installed grub on my multi-boot laptop. I set a theme and so on, there was no issues at all, it was working perfectly(exept some weird things). When I got satisfied I set grub on the first priority on uefi and it broke without any reason. It went rescue mod and says "file:GRUB/X86_64-EFI/x84_64-efi/normal.mod not found". crazy part is if I delete grub from uefi and re-add it, while I start it manually it works just fine. help this poor noob submitted by /u/mnbc42 [link] [comments]
