I am using Arch Linux with Cinnamon. I have installed gnome-online-accounts but it is not visible and accessible?

Just about all arch linux installers out there use the calamares installer. just wanted to highlight the fact that arch linux can be installed from a live environment without the need of calamares. It can be done with the archinstall script from a live environment and you can even have your customizations built in. Down the line I will do a detailed video to explain the files in the lhinstaller folder. for now you can take a look at them and if you follow them correctly you can figure it out... Read more

Hi, I switched reacently to Arch in form of Garuda from PopOS. Currently I am running a NVIDIA GTX 1050TI. SInce the last couple of Driver updates my second screen is recognized but stays black. I presume that it has to do with the Graphics card needing the driver version 550 but the automatic install insists to install the 555 version of the driver. And I tried to downgrade but something I am still missing. But enough of that I just bought an Radeon RX 6600 which should arrive in 2 days... Read more

When you install the OS, by default there are 21 aliases in ~/.bashrc, so we don't count these - only the ones you wrote yourself. How many do you have? Mine are 241 at the moment. You can use this script, even use it as an alias to count your aliases number. If you make an alias of it, it will be included in the final number. Code: alias-count-number-of-aliases.sh Code: #!/usr/bin/env bash num1=$(grep -o "alias " .bashrc | wc -l) result=$(($num1 - 21)) echo $result This script is... Read more

The AUR itself is really good. It offers a much wider range of packages than the default repos. But what I am sick of is mostly compiling the packages myself, and even for others who don't need compilation, there is still a lot more that goes on like compressing package or whatever like, I don't care anything about the source code, I just need the binary. I would be into compiling stuff myself, but I don't have enough compute. I just want the binaries quickly. I am aware of chaotic aur, but... Read more

So I am back on Arch Linux. A while ago when I was on Arch, I was using Thorium, and had found a way to get GPU video decoding working. And all this time when I was on Ubuntu, I think I just used this command - Spoiler chromium --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-oop-rasterization --disable-gpu-vsync --enable-zero-copy --use-gl=desktop --enable-accelerated-video-decode --enable-accelerated-video-encode --ignore-gpu-blocklist...

I have just released LinuxHub Prime v2.0.0 BETA. I Need testing to work out bugs mainly on the builder part. The Installer gives you multiple desktop environments to choose from. My custom Arch Based system gives users the option to create a custom respin. This is where i really need feedback. I need to know how it works on other systems/vm's other than my own to get proper feed back and work out bugs if found. With enough feedback and bug fixes and make it official. Here is a video to see... Read more

Quick and simple. I installed Arch (surprisingly easy for an MS-DOS user), booted in, but no internet. I used my adapter as WLAN0 within the usb, but when I use ‘ip link’ inside the install, it shows two Ethernet ports, but I don’t have Ethernet, And both are down. I couldn’t bring them up, I couldn’t connect. And when booting, the Wi-Fi times out and continues.

Hi. I'm just curious; If I use Endeavor OS, can I unironically say "I use Arch btw"?

I want to install PLUTO astrophysical simulation code in my Manjaro Linux. Please help me how to do install it. I am using Zsh shell.

After system update gnome shell started to crash, what to do?

Does anyone have any experience with this? I will probably spin up a VM and kick the tires. Just wondering if it was worth the time

I am currently using Garuda Linux, and when I increase the screen brightness, there is a slight flicker. It does not increase the brightness properly. I don't know how to explain it, but there is something strange when I increase or decrease the screen brightness. My graphics card is AMD Radeon R5 graphics.

I'm trying to use HoloSIO, but I have no clue as to whether this issue is specific to that derivative. I've done -Suy syncs after syncing the icu package, which should prevent conflicts as far as I know. I've used system-update-pacman combined with the download only options to perform the upgrade after a reboot, but that doesn't ever seem to actually upgrade the packages at all. Hardware Processors: 4xAMD Ryzen 3 2300x Quad-Core Processor Memory: 7.7GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD... Read more

I have searched around and found ways to mount the iso. But my goal is to extract the home folder. Is this possible? This is for an Arch based ISO. These are the only folders I see when I mount the ISO: arch boot EFI shellia32.efi shellx64.efi Thanks

I am trying to use PixieCore on Arch to setup a network boot on my first computer (server) and boot it through PXE (client) on my second computer. But even after some troubleshooting, I get this error - [DHCP] Offering to boot c4:65:16:8d:31:78[DHCP] Want to boot c4:65:16:8d:31:78 on eno1, but couldn't get a source address: no usable unicast address configured on interface. Does anybody know the solution?

over on youtube a few members reported issues installing on bare metal. Here in this video I show the process of installing LinuxHub on my PC. If anyone here has tested my respins and run into any issues. Please do let me know as the more info I get the better I can pinpoint a solution. On my videos I usually test on A VM with BIOS. in this video I am using UEFI as it is required by my PC. Anyways, Thanks and on to the video. LinuxHub - official linuxhub.link

I run my arch on gnome and was updating the system. The system froze during update, I tried waiting but nothing worked so I used the power button to turn it completely off. When I tried loging in it started giving me :- https://imagebin.ca/v/7zErQblLuBss Now I went through guides online they said using Ctrl alt f2 etc but that didn't work. Other said to use live iso and use mount and chroot so went and did that, I couldn't do it at first and faced various problems but atlast I... Read more
