Arch Linux on Reddit

Hey guys, i really need your help now. I have an ZOOM R12 Multitrak connected to my PC with Garuda now and i lnow the rules but i also got this problem with Arch Linux before, so i am pretty sure its a general Arch problem. There are no official drivers for this device from ZOOM for Linux, they only support Windows and MacOS. I managed to get the device working under arch with Alsa but it only works when the device is connected, turned on and is in audio interface mode while the PC is booting up. With a device powered by USB thats hard to do and often fails because i have to manually activate the interface mode with the touchscreen of the device and the devices boottime is longer than the PC. So i really have to boot up the PC, turn the device on and go into interface mode and then restart the PC to get it working. Do you guys have any clue how i can manage to get it working with hotplug? likee usb devices should work when they are plugged in, not only when they are active while booting. Here are some infos of the device: lsusb: ID 1686:06d5 ZOOM Corporation ZOOM R12 alsactl: card: 4 id: R12 name: ZOOM R12 longname: ZOOM Corporation ZOOM R12 at usb-0000:10:00.0-1.2, full speed driver_name: USB-Audio mixer_name: USB Mixer components: USB1686:06d5 controls_count: 2 pcm: - stream: PLAYBACK devices: - device: 0 id: USB Audio name: USB Audio subdevices: - subdevice: 0 name: subdevice #0 - stream: CAPTURE devices: - device: 0 id: USB Audio name: USB Audio subdevices: - subdevice: 0 name: subdevice #0 i really got these infos while the device is on and in interface mode but afterr booting so not working in KDE and alsactl is showing empty sliders for the card. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/CurrencyIntrepid9084 [link] [comments]

I have an external drive that I want to use for backups. I think I'll use Timeshift for this, but I'm not sure whether to choose rsync or btrfs. I don't think I care about having more than one snapshot, and I would like to have the ability to browse the files without much hassle. If I understand correctly, btrfs doesn't let you browse files easily. Is there anything else I'm missing? Also, is it better to use Timeshift or should I just write some rsync scripts and run them from a console? submitted by /u/on_a_quest_for_glory [link] [comments]

New Arch user here. I was trying Arch with KDE. I have an Nvidia 4070S and an Intel 13700K processor. Everything installed fine and was running smoothly. However, when I locked my screen and the display turned off automatically after a while, it didn’t turn back on. I could tell the computer was still running, and nothing seemed off, but I couldn’t try any commands because the screen was blank. After force restarting, everything was normal. However, I’d like to avoid this issue in the future. Any suggestions? Additionally, I installed Arch with Secure Boot enabled, even though Arch suggests turning it off. Does this matter? submitted by /u/stargazer63 [link] [comments]

I was trying to fix the freeze problem over 6 months now. I tried setting vm.oom_kill_allocating_task = 1 and changing to LTS kernel. Nothing seem to work and my pc is unable to recover from an oom. Whats interesting is that my computer never goes out of memory. I check regularly and everything seems fine and i have 2/3 of the memory is even cached. How do i fix this? Thank you! submitted by /u/Odd_Garbage_2857 [link] [comments]

I followed this guide here step by step as i am totally new to linux and messing with the terminal stuff: https://github.com/dnscrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Installation-linux And also the specific one for Arch based distros: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dnscrypt-proxy Unfortunately it turns out it did not go good. It does not seem to work. I've set everything in configuration and enabled the socket variant (i don't know if it is actually better than service one, but i want Dnscrypt-Proxy to be systemwide). Dnsleaktest unfortunately shows it is not working since a lot of other dns servers are showing and not the one i chose in the configuration. What did i do wrong? submitted by /u/Totenkopf_Division [link] [comments]

I had a strange issue using a Samsung 980 (not EVO or Pro) NVMe SSD with an external ASUS TUF enclosure: Files looked like they copied fine (terminal and DE both showed “done”), but after unplugging and reconnecting the drive, the data was either corrupted or not exist. Even running sync didn’t guarantee anything, sometimes it finished normally, sometimes it froze forever. Reading existing files, after writing data, also became painfully slow or loading forever. After a deep dive, the issue turned out to be related to NVMe power state behavior. Fix: Add this kernel parameter: nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 It instantly solved the problem. Sharing in case it saves someone else a few hours, or their data. submitted by /u/TarikAJA [link] [comments]

Hello, to start quickly, yesterday I just bought a new laptop, to be specific it is a Dell g15 5511 with an i7 11th gen and an rtx 3050 ti, yesterday I installed arch with a KDEplasma environment and with the recommended open Nvidia drivers, the problem? Throughout yesterday afternoon and evening it started to give graphical errors, both the screen and the laptop in general froze and began to show strange static, I tried to solve it by reinstalling the drivers and configuring them, even from the beginning of the installation I had already disabled the processor's gpu, so I simply decided to reinstall arch with another environment to verify if it worked better, but now the problem is that when I try to boot an installation media, be it arch, gentoo, mint, fedora or windows the laptop freezes and in some cases (like windows and fedora) it shows the errors on the screen again and does not let me advance in the loading process in the components, can someone help me solve this? submitted by /u/KyoAzami [link] [comments]

Hallo guys ,noob here. A few days ago I installed Arch linux with KDE plasma on my laptop with an intel i5 processor and its integrated Graphics card. I then connected my monitor and saw that I only get 50Hz when i choose 3440x1440 pixels even though i should get 100Hz. I only get a 100Hz If i choose 1920x1080. So i searched in the internet but didn’t really find anything that helps me. Iv read about wayland, xorg, xrandr and other stuff but none helped. Today I switched to hyprland in hopes of it being solved but it didn’t. I also connected a other windows laptop to my monitor and got 100Hz on 3440x1440. My laptops monitor is 1920x1080 and 60 Hz.

I'm thinking of switching off of Windows 10 when it reaches end of support in October, and I'm looking for a distro that plays nicely with my RTX 4060 (e.g., that turns the GPU off when it's not needed and so on). Pop_OS is hailed as having really good Nvidia support out of the box, and I'm wondering if I just follow the Nvidia guide on the Arch wiki if there will be any caveats or differences compared to Pop_OS. I also want to use the COSMIC desktop environment, and I'm hoping I can just install the cosmic or the cosmic-session packages (though I'm not quite sure which one) and that'll be it. The reason why I'm considering Arch is when I tried Pop_OS, it didn't support my USB wifi adapter or my USB bluetooth adapter, and I'm imagining Arch is the most likely to have drivers that I can just install by package manager submitted by /u/programjm123 [link] [comments]

Hello everyone, I'm posting this for people with similar interests or those that could find this interesting :) Over the years, I've seen many people asking how to view the changelog when an Arch package is updated. Typically, you have to navigate to the Arch package page or the original package hosting site (depending on whether it's a minor or major release), or clone the package and use git. If, for example, there are 40 package upgrades, this process can become really tedious. I've searched for projects online that can automate this workflow but couldn't find anything suitable. To address this, I wrote a Python program that automatically checks each package, searches for the changes and saves the changes between versions in a JSON file. The program differentiates between minor and major releases. The difference is, that major always includes an update of the origin package (example: discord) whereas minor could be a rebuild or other minor changes from the Arch packagers. The script is by no means perfect yet - it still struggles to find some changelogs for major releases and the code isn't perfect either - but with each commit, it gets better. https://github.com/MystikReasons/arch-changelog-viewer Contributions are welcome—whether it's bug reports, feature requests, or pull requests. I hope this script helps people who want to see the exact changes between their current package(s) and the updated version(s). submitted by /u/MystikReasons [link] [comments]

Hello. I was trying to dualboot windows 11 and archlinux. I first created the EFI partition on arch install medium with 2GB. Later launched the windows installer and installed the windows with 2GB EFI partition being still intact. After that, I continued to install archlinux on the unallocated space. Since in the arch wiki it is said that I should have only 1 partition if I am using single drive. The installation process went as normal until I tried to install grub. grub-install script returned an error saying it can't create the directory boot/grub/x86_64-efi. Seeing this I tried to create the file myself; however it said that there are no empty space in the disk. Surprised by this I quickly checked the space of the EFI Drive with lblsk and It said it has 2GB. However, lsblk --fs says all of the disk space is used. I used df /mint/boot command this time and weirdly it showed that the size of the EFI partition is 96MB and used is 96MB. I tried remounting the partition but it didn't work. Do you have any idea what caused this and how can I fix it? submitted by /u/LongExotic6564 [link] [comments]

Hey, I’m experiencing a super frustrating issue: On my Arch Linux laptop, I cannot watch any videos in any browser. YouTube, Crunchyroll, Twitch, etc. – nothing plays. The video player loads, but videos never start, or the player is just blank. Audio doesn't play either. What's weird: The same laptop with Kali Linux (dual boot) plays all videos just fine. My network is not the issue: other devices work fine. I've tried different user accounts, Wayland/X11, safe mode, and clean browsers – same result. What I’ve tried so far: Installed: ffmpeg, all GStreamer plugins (base/good/bad/ugly) Installed: mesa, libva-mesa-driver, vulkan-radeon, vulkan-icd-loader Confirmed: vainfo shows working VA-API Checked: dmesg shows no amdgpu errors GPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7530U iGPU glxinfo confirms correct GPU renderer WebGL shows as disabled in browser dev console (?!) Browsers: Firefox, LibreWolf, Vivaldi, Brave Flatpak Firefox tested → same issue DRM enabled (where applicable) No extensions, tested in private/incognito Tried flags: --use-gl=desktop, --disable-gpu, --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder Added custom browser conf (~/.config/vivaldi-stable.conf, etc.) Set LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi in env and profile about:gpu shows hardware decoding as disabled Crunchyroll shows React errors + JS load failures curl and ping to YouTube/Googlevideo works fine DNS via Fritzbox, tested via resolvectl No proxies (env | grep proxy) /etc/hosts is clean Tested with IPv6 disabled → no change iptables and nftables inspected Docker rules purged, docker stopped No UFW/firewalld active journalctl, dmesg, xorg.log all look clean KDE Plasma, tested on both X11 and Wayland New user account → same problem Kali Linux (dual boot) works perfectly → not hardware related Kernel switched to linux-lts → no difference Tried various combinations of VA-API flags and env vars Time/date are correct, CA certs up-to-date WebGL failures still persistent across all browsers YouTube gives errors like: WebGL is currently disabled Failed to create WebGL context Analytics scripts blocked or error out Minified React errors (#418, #423) Some cookies rejected as “foreign” So... Video playback is completely broken under Arch Linux only. Browser player loads, but playback silently fails (YouTube, Crunchyroll, etc.) Video/audio works perfectly on Kali Linux on the same machine. Offline video works fine in Arch with mpv or vlc. Logs show WebGL disabled, JS errors, React crashes, analytics scripts failing. System Specs Notebook HP 255 G10 15,6" FHD (AK9X5AT) AMD Ryzen 5 7530U 16GB RAM 512GB SSD AMD Radeon (iGPU) If anyone has any idea what might be wrong at this point, I'd really appreciate it.

I have had arch installed now for 6 months tomorrow and honestly it has never flickered. I installed Arch and did not install any helpers ( AUR ). I removed discover as well as its useless in Arch I think. Its a minimal install with only basic programmes installed like Libre office, timeshift, firefox, fastfetch, gnome disk utility, Kcalc, Transmission, Konsole and a couple of other small additions that I use day to day. I update every day. Yes I have OCD regarding updates. Clear cache search for redundant files. If I uninstall anything I remove package, its dependencies and keep rubbish out that's not required. I always read Arch news to see if updates are secure and OK to install. I was led to believe Arch would break every couple of weeks after reading rubbish people was posting on the net and also on reddit. Unless I am doing something wrong here...hahahaha I think arch is as stable and secure as Debian if you treat it right. I have just been messaging one user that has had arch installed for 6 years using a simple similar philosophy as myself and has never had any hiccups either. Just goes to show its users that break arch and not a case of "Arch breaks" itself like it is perceived. I would tell anyone thinking of trying Arch.....Go for it, treat it nice and it will return the favor. Thanks all in advance. submitted by /u/Sudo-Arch-Linux [link] [comments]

If I `reboot` Arch, the entire system gets stuck on a black screen after the initial shutdown. So I can hear the machine spinning up again - but nothing happens. Black screen until eternity. Interestingly, using `shutdown` and then just booting works fine. I'm too new to Arch to make anything meaningful from it and, to be honest, I don't even know where to look. The only thing that came to mind was `journalctl -b -1` and other runs. However, those failed boot attempts don't even get as for as systemd-boot, it seems, because all `journalctl` logs are of boots that actually went fine. So, `journalctl` isn't helpful and I don't know where else to look. Does anyone have a pointer or two? **EDIT** additional data: - video: RTX3050, no integrated graphics - install is fresh, problem has been there from the start - installed using the good old Installation Guide from the wiki submitted by /u/traxx2012 [link] [comments]

HI I recently bought a 9800x3d and am having trouble getting k10temp module loaded on boot. If i load it manually using "sudo modprobe k10temp" it loads successful and can be monitored with lm-sensors. But i cannot get it loaded on boot. I added an entry to /etc/modules-load.d/, and i also added "k10temp=1" to my grub commandline peramiter but it is getting denied by kmod. If i grep the journal for k10 i get "systemd-modules-load[493]: Module 'k10temp' is deny-listed (by kmod)" There is nothing on my /etc/modprobe.d/ that blacklists k10 temp, so i am at a loss I am running 6.14.0-4-cachyos Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Before I decided to use arch on my PC I had windows and wanted to dual boot the system, but I deleted windows by accident so I was like, yk what it's not like I like it anyways (I didn't have a lot of files, mostly games and they're cloud save enabled) so I decided to go full arch, but when I checked the disks, only the disk that I install arch isn't locked, but the other disks which I had windows files on then was locked, I could unlock the disks but the point is I can't format them to be used by arch , can someone help me submitted by /u/untitled_you [link] [comments]

Sorry, Arch newb here. I am currently in the testing phase of timeshift. After purposely breaking my system I reboot, boot into a snapshot, open timeshift and click the restore button for the booted snapshot. After again rebooting and booting into standart arch linux everything seems fine. However now if I delete the snapshot I booted into, the system gets deleted also and rebooting yields file /timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/.../@/boot/vmlinuz-linux not found error. This is similar when using automated snapshots, that is snapshots every boot (that's what I tested). After a few reboots the system gets deleted automatically. What am I doing wrong or should do differently? Installation info: I created and mounted subvolumes during the manual install with mount -o subvol=@ /dev/nvme0n1p9 /mnt mount -o subvol=@home /dev/nvme0n1p9 /mnt/home according to this tutorial. Additionally, I mounted my EFI boot partition to mount /dev/nvme0n1p4 /mnt/efi After the manual install and installing kde I edited grub-btrfsd and started it. I also installed timeshift-autosnap and enabled cronie. EDIT: I gave up on timeshift and used the tutorial here. Functionality is similar to timeshift but without the problems I ran into with timeshift. I added a @ var subvolume since thats recommended on the grub-btrfs github page. submitted by /u/Unlikely_Gap7284 [link] [comments]

I am at my wit's end with pulseaudio errors. After system upgrade few weeks ago my headset with microphone stopped working. After checking is everything connected well, I've tried pulseaudio -k and nothing happened. I restarted my computer and again nothing happend, still no sound and no microphone detected. I figured that update must have messed up something with configuration, but I could not figure out what so I uninstalled pulseaudio with sudo pacman -Rns pulseaudio and reinstalled it again. Here's where the interesting part begins. (I am using KDE if its relevant). When I turn on my computer sound and microphone over the headphones are working. I have confirmed this via playing a song on youtube, playing a song on vlc player and using discord microphone test. Also, Plasma's system tray indicator shows that the sound is playing and when I tap on microphone there is a sound detection. However, as soon as I turn off all applications that produce sound and turn them on again there is no sound and no response from microphone. Two things can temporary fix the issue. First is hard reboot. The sound works and microphone responds until I do as described above. The second thing that makes everything work again is swapping the default Analog stereo output + mono input with Digital stereo output + mono input on system tray icon. The issue will still happen once I turn off all applications that produce sound and attempt to use them again. Swapping again to analog is once again a temporary fix. I have tried moving onto pipewire as some threads from the moth ago on arch forums suggested, but my microphone then doesn't respond. Sound returns to normal thou. If there is anyone here that can help me troubleshoot this I'd be really thankful. I am not sure what to paste from the terminal so feel free to ask for additional info.

Finally upgraded my fedora machine to get rid of the annoying EOL warning on my Fedora 39 machine, and after couple of upgrades to the current point release version (face-palm), I can't help to notice its kernel is at 6.13.9-200-fc41, while my other newly installed arch machine is at 6.13.8-arch1-1. What's up with that? This is from the Core repo, and yes, its been flagged since 03-25-2025. I have used fedora for past 7 years, and just joined arch a few months back when I got a new personal laptop. I have been loving everything about it, the manual install, free selection of software, troubleshooting, and really learning. On a sidenote, during my fedora upgrades, from 39 to 40 and from 40 to 41, both times, I had to go into recovery, and manually build the initramfs images, and redo grub in order to boot into the newly upgraded environment, not sure why the fedora upgrade didn't work as intended. But I felt so much more comfortable with this very process of manual intervention even on a daunting task as a major point release, and I have arch linux and the community to thank for. But yeah I digress, just wondering if Fedora usually have a newer kernel version? I've always thought that Fedora was leading edge, while Arch is bleeding edge, thoughts? submitted by /u/rennitbaby [link] [comments]
