Arch Linux on Reddit

i'm fully up to date, but since a week or so ago i've not had internet access on my guests in qemu, neither in win7 nor win10. my qemu line had worked for years without changing anything, it could be a kernel update or qemu update or anything else has anyone seen this too? how did you solve it? here's how i run qemu (it's a function in .zshrc) kw() { qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user,smb=$HOME -audiodev \ pipewire,id=audio0 -device intel-hda -device hda-output,audiodev=audio0 \ -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -display sdl -usb \ -device usb-tablet -drive file=$HOME/vm/"$1",format=qcow2,if=ide -m 8G \ -enable-kvm -machine kernel_irqchip=on,type=pc,accel=kvm \ -cpu host,hv_relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0xffff,hv_vapic,hv_time -smp 8 -M pc \ -vga qxl "${@:2}" so i run kw win in the terminal p.s. as for the flair, i can't choose support for some reason, it won't let me? submitted by /u/treeshateorcs [link] [comments]

If anyone can help with this would be nice as I'm in the middle of my first ever attempt to get arch with dualbooting. What I have done up until now: Booted from ISO on USB. Created new partion from the one I made on Windows 10. formatted it. Mounted it to /mnt. Created /mnt/boot. Mounted the EFI partion which was 100MB to /mnt/boot. Created /mnt/windows10 and mounted the windows disk there. (probably irrelevant) packstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware vim genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/ets/fstab then I went into /mnt arch-chroot /mnt made a swapfile added it to fstab found timezone and syncronized it added the locales addded the hosts and hostname and gave root a password then with pacman installed a lot of stuff (grub, efibootmhr, os-prober, I can share all of them if needed) And here comes the issue, I try: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB And I get the error: grub-install: error: failed to make directory: '/boot/grub/x86_64-efi' What I think has happened is that the efi partion is too small for grub to be installed. I have read some issues online and the fixes are either to extend the efi partion or create a new one which I have no idea how to do. Sorry if i did anything badly this is the first time of me posting a question, thank you. submitted by /u/one-jovi-three [link] [comments]

I've done this on multiple systems but for some reason it keeps failing now. Zsh is installed. sudo chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh Changing shell for root. chsh: Shell not changed. <--- why does it say this but then /etc/passwd changes anyway? log out, log back in. echo $SHELL /usr/bin/bash cat/etc/passwd root:/usr/bin/zsh myusername::/usr/bin/zsh Expected behavior: I should have the shell I have set and confirmed is set in etc/passwd and not have /bin/bash/ The shell can be manually changed to Zsh by adjusting settings within Konsole. But that's not the correct method as it doesn't change the DEFAULT shell. submitted by /u/averagesophonenjoyer [link] [comments]

Hello, first, sorry for the wall of text, So, a couple of weeks ago I had an issue after updating (booting time increased dramatically), after testing the system I decided to restore a previous snapshot (#48) through Btrfs Assistant (which i've done a few times before), so I restored the previous snapshot before the update (#49) and rebooted, grub loaded normally and then after selecting the default option it just went to a black screen and the system was frozen (this happened with the 3 kernels I've installed, default, lts and zen), the only way to restart was by pressing the power button for a few seconds, I tried booting from a read-only snapshot from grub but none of them worked (same symptoms), the only one that worked was the last snapshot (#49), but restoring was not possible, Btrf Assistant didn't show anything and console showed the error "IO Error (query default id failed, subvolume is not a btrfs subvolume", so after fiddling with the snapshots (manually set write permissions to snapshot, updated and whatelse) I managed to boot the system again, and everything seems to work, I can update, remove packages and restores snapshots again, BUT, Btrfs Assistant shows @snapshots/61/snapshot as the target for restoring snapshots and AFAIK that's the default btrfs system subvolume, so the questions are: is there a way to set "/" as the default just like it was originally? (tried with "sudo btrfs subvolume set-default /" but didn't changed anything) AND "sudo btrfs subvolume list /" shows the root subvolume (@) as top level 5 or, is there an issue if I keep using that route as default? thanks in advance submitted by /u/RavenousOne_ [link] [comments]

Simply put, I want to be able to resize windows, kind of how Hyprland does, in KDE. Here is a post I made on another arch subreddit which has a gif on the exact kind of behaviour I want to get. submitted by /u/key4427 [link] [comments]

I was following the arch wiki steam installation guide. I have integrated Intel GPU and descrete AMD polaris. I installed steam and the open source drivers for Intel and AMD. I did not install amd-vlk. Everything seemed well but after a reboot, I did the usual which is starting kde plasma 6 from the tty using startx only for plasma to open to a weird display. I have a photo of it but images aren't allowed here I will try to link it. Any support is appreciated. I can start an Xorg session with DWM and it works well. I was also able to start hyprland. But with plasma 6 It opens to a weird teared out display. Edit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_SIZkUexGqwKJfqI9HN2kYFpSRI0M6CJ/view?usp=sharing This is what is diplayed when plasma opens. I believe it works (I can blindly open konsole and do stuff) well but the display is messed up. Edit 2: When I enter another Xorg session with dwm. It works. But when I opened steam, the steam window was the same as how plasma opens in the attached image above. submitted by /u/Abdelrahman75 [link] [comments]

Hi I've been trying to use Arch Linux on a laptop, but there is an issue that I think no one solved for now. My issue has to do with the rtl_pci process which is running constantly on my laptop and always puts one of the cores of my laptop at 100%, I do have internet and the speed seems to be normal, but as soon as my computer starts using WiFi it'll nuke one of my cores with constant interrupts at speeds of 10k interrupts per second. I did found some info about this issue, but all I find is old posts about having the issue and the solution being "Just turn off WiFi and use Ethernet" which I am doing, but not having WiFi kinda kills the purpose of my laptop at university where I do need to use WiFi. Another thing I found is to close the process and to try starting it again, but as soon as I do that, it will go back to sending constant interrupts to my CPU, although it does change the core that will overcharge with interrupts. I'm running Arch with hyprland. This issue causes my laptop to run way too hot so I'd prefer to fix this issue since it also makes my system slow after the issue is running for more than an hour. Here are some outputs of my issue, and sorry if this has been solved and I just couldn't find it, it's been annoying me for a few days and I haven't found more info: Whit it active the interrupts are high (I already restarted it that's why it's on multiple cores) cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 0: 14 0 0 0 IO-APIC 2-edge timer 1: 0 0 0 8315 IO-APIC 1-edge i8042 8: 0 0 0 1 IO-APIC 8-edge rtc0 9: 0 65 0 0 IO-APIC 9-fasteoi acpi 12: 0 0 335468 0 IO-APIC 12-edge i8042 16: 0 556 0 0 IO-APIC 16-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb2 18: 0 15840361 6654921 1087866 IO-APIC 18-fasteoi rtl_pci 19: 0 0 0 5 IO-APIC 19-fasteoi i801_smbus 23: 49 0 0 0 IO-APIC 23-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1 24: 0 37730 3277 51473 PCI-MSI-0000:00:1f.2 0-edge ahci[0000:00:1f.2] 25: 640 667 84283 0 PCI-MSI-0000:00:14.0 0-edge xhci_hcd 26: 689214 168 0 0 PCI-MSI-0000:00:02.0 0-edge i915 27: 0 0 23 0 PCI-MSI-0000:00:16.0 0-edge mei_me 28: 405 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-0000:00:1b.0 0-edge snd_hda_intel:card0 29: 0 0 1 0 PCI-MSI-0000:03:00.0 0-edge enp3s0 NMI: 77 113 86 69 Non-maskable interrupts LOC: 1162104 921863 965426 915474 Local timer interrupts SPU: 0 0 0 0 Spurious interrupts PMI: 77 113 86 69 Performance monitoring interrupts IWI: 729152 55334 86169 61360 IRQ work interrupts RTR: 1 0 0 0 APIC ICR read retries RES: 99413 108382 106239 90490 Rescheduling interrupts CAL: 332315 316035 268877 229067 Function call interrupts TLB: 141559 132513 120066 114628 TLB shootdowns TRM: 0 0 0 0 Thermal event interrupts THR: 0 0 0 0 Threshold APIC interrupts DFR: 0 0 0 0 Deferred Error APIC interrupts MCE: 0 0 0 0 Machine check exceptions MCP: 14 15 15 15 Machine check polls ERR: 0 MIS: 0 PIN: 0 0 0 0 Posted-interrupt notification event NPI: 0 0 0 0 Nested posted-interrupt event PIW: 0 0 0 0 Posted-interrupt wakeup event PMN: 0 0 0 0 Posted MSI notification event When I disable it and start to use Ethernet cable only: cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 0: 14 0 0 0 IO-APIC 2-edge timer 1: 0 0 0 7341 IO-APIC 1-edge i8042 8: 0 0 0 1 IO-APIC 8-edge rtc0 9: 0 65 0 0 IO-APIC 9-fasteoi acpi 12: 0 0 311732 0 IO-APIC 12-edge i8042 16: 0 556 0 0 IO-APIC 16-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb2 19: 0 0 0 5 IO-APIC 19-fasteoi i801_smbus 23: 49 0 0 0 IO-APIC 23-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1 24: 0 34525 3277 51473 PCI-MSI-0000:00:1f.2 0-edge ahci[0000:00:1f.2] 25: 166 667 79872 0 PCI-MSI-0000:00:14.0 0-edge xhci_hcd 26: 656748 168 0 0 PCI-MSI-0000:00:02.0 0-edge i915 27: 0 0 23 0 PCI-MSI-0000:00:16.0 0-edge mei_me 28: 405 0 0 0 PCI-MSI-0000:00:1b.0 0-edge snd_hda_intel:card0 29: 0 0 1 0 PCI-MSI-0000:03:00.0 0-edge enp3s0 NMI: 74 110 84 67 Non-maskable interrupts LOC: 1103474 874473 915140 870104 Local timer interrupts SPU: 0 0 0 0 Spurious interrupts PMI: 74 110 84 67 Performance monitoring interrupts IWI: 695621 52934 82548 58791 IRQ work interrupts RTR: 1 0 0 0 APIC ICR read retries RES: 97934 105237 104653 88753 Rescheduling interrupts CAL: 319010 303063 257920 219858 Function call interrupts TLB: 137651 128141 115339 110840 TLB shootdowns TRM: 0 0 0 0 Thermal event interrupts THR: 0 0 0 0 Threshold APIC interrupts DFR: 0 0 0 0 Deferred Error APIC interrupts MCE: 0 0 0 0 Machine check exceptions MCP: 13 14 14 14 Machine check polls ERR: 0 MIS: 0 PIN: 0 0 0 0 Posted-interrupt notification event NPI: 0 0 0 0 Nested posted-interrupt event PIW: 0 0 0 0 Posted-interrupt wakeup event PMN: 0 0 0 0 Posted MSI notification event submitted by /u/omar5867 [link] [comments]

I'm having trouble setting static IP addresses to domains using the default NAT working, was anyone successful? I followed all the instructions here and even dropped the DHCP leases as well as restarted the libvirtd.service. I'm thinking these need to done in a particular order (restarting the service, dropping the DHCP leases, and virsh net-destroy default then virsh net-start default, which I've also tried). Some output, any tips are much appreciated. submitted by /u/exquisitesunshine [link] [comments]

So I finally installed Arch without archinstall! Now… I honestly don’t know what WM to use. I was consider desktop environments but eh, no. I do wanna hear people’s reasons and preferences for WM’s so go crazy. I’m just curious to know more. submitted by /u/Tye2KOfficial [link] [comments]

Hi guys, is there any package that will show some phrases suggestions as we type a word? So e.g. I type "address", and it'll show a suggestion of "XYZ Steet" depending on what phrase I define in my keyboard dictionary ...

Hey guys, I have a problem with my system. Everything worked fine for months but I had the great idea (actually a bad idea) to test out Hyprland instead of KDE. After the dual setup with KDE and Hyprland everything began to break. My suspend doesn’t work anymore and before it suspends it takes quite a while, you can see it in the video. Sorry for filming with thr phone but I don‘t know how I should film it otherwise. My system is up to date with pacman and aur/yay.

Please tell me and I will try my best to update you with any information. If your tips don‘t work I have to reinstall Arch but this would be a chance to test the new archinstall 3.0. Thank you very much in advance. Please don‘t insult me. EDIT: It seems like I can‘t upload the video. Is there a way to show it to you? submitted by /u/The_Real_Legonard [link] [comments]

Yesterday I switched from sddm to using ly because of the sddm hanging on reboot when using Wayland issue. Today I tried to open signal and it requested access to KDE wallet service.

Hi everyone, I'm encountering a frustrating issue with my Dell Latitude 7420 while gaming on Linux (Arch, GNOME 47). Here's the problem: Whenever I play a game, my CPU temperature hits around 65°C, and then the CPU starts throttling aggressively. Its frequency drops to 400 MHz and then ramps back up in a continuous loop. This ruins the gaming experience. Here are my specs: Laptop: Dell Latitude 7420 CPU: Intel Core i7-1185G7 RAM: 32 GB SSD: 1 TB NVMe I'm using Power Profile Daemon (PPD) and even when I set the profile to "performance," the issue persists. I've also tried disabling Intel SpeedStep and Intel C-states in the BIOS, but it didn’t help. What’s odd is that this problem doesn’t happen on Windows. Everything runs smoothly there, even under heavy gaming loads. If anyone has suggestions or has experienced similar issues, I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks! submitted by /u/DazzlingPassion614 [link] [comments]

So, clean install of arch: → sudo pacman -Q linux linux 6.11.9.arch1-1 Using xbindkeys --key for multiple media keys yields: "(Scheme function)" m:0x0 + c:122 XF86AudioLowerVolume "(Scheme function)" m:0x0 + c:237 XF86KbdBrightnessDown etc... But, they do not detect the brightness up & down, and volume keys. But using showkey --scancodes yields: 0xe0 0x4c 0xe0 0xcc # brightness down 0xe0 0x54 0xe0 0xd4 # brightness up 0xe0 0x20 0xe0 0xa0 # mute 0xe0 0x2e 0xe0 0xae # volume down 0xe0 0x30 0xe0 0xb0 #volume up. How can I use these scan codes to map them to commands to make them do what they are supposed to do. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/AdearienRDDT [link] [comments]

Good day, I've installed Arch on a new-ish Ideapad laptop and noticed its fans seem to run at an excessive speed regardless of actual load. Running stress tests vs idle causes no real change to the temperature, which makes me believe it is using a fan speed appropriate for high load even at idle. I don't see the Ideapad Slim 5 16AHP9 mentioned on the Arch wiki, so I'm suspecting it's simply too new to have gotten much attention. The BIOS does have some power and fan controls, but they don't seem to do much. Setting the "ultra quiet mode" to enabled does not reduce fan speed. Changing the performance setting in BIOS to "battery saving" did reduce the noise to nearly silent, but it also cut my performance by a decent margin. I am relatively confident this isn't a hardware problem because I didn't hear the same idle fan noise while in Windows, and because I see that Lenovo's website mentions drivers for the cooling system. I've also tried the Thinkfan and auto-cpufreq tools, they didn't seem to do anything for this hardware. Guidance would be much appreciated.

Hello, I wish to get a good thorough crash course in learning linux and I've heard using Archlinux is one of the better ways to do so.

So, I am planning to resize my root folder. My Partition looks like this: nvme0n1 259:0 0 1,8T 0 disk ├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 1G 0 part /boot ├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 126G 0 part [SWAP] ├─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 126G 0 part / └─nvme0n1p4 259:4 0 1,6T 0 part /home i.e. the home folder is on another partition. My plan is to boot into a live os like 'kde neon' and resize/extend the root partition with the 'kde partitioning manager'. I basically did this once a while back on my laptop and I got systemd error as far as I remember. So my Question is, should this resizing work? without errors? And do I have to input a command in the terminal that linux "reloads" the size of the root partition and recognises that it now has a different size? (of course I have backups of everything) Thanks for helping submitted by /u/averageArchLinuxNoob [link] [comments]

After a lot of research, I've been able to use the fingerprint on my Lenovo Ideapad 3 Slim, and I will explain how to do it to you: IMPORTANT: you'll need the following packages: glib-devel (sudo pacman -S glib-devel), fprint (yay -S fprint), usbutils (yay -S usbutils) imagemagick (yay -S imagemagick) Verify if lsusb command sees your sensor: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 10a5:9800 FPC FPC Sensor Controller L:0002 FW:27.26.23.18 Copy the libfprint-fpcmoh-git repository using the following command: git clone --depth=1 https://aur.archlinux.org/libfprint-fpcmoh-git.git ~/Clone/libfprint-fpcmoh-git Go into the copied repository and type makepkg -si Configure the fingerprint reader by creating a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-fingerprint.rules with the following contents: ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/fprint_setup %k" Reload the udev rules with sudo udevadm control --reload-rules Verify the fingerprint reader is recognized by running lsusb | grep FPC Configure the fingerprint reader using the fprintd-enroll user Verify the fingerprint using fprintd-verify Now, in order to set your fingerprint at the login an lock page, you have to modify the /etc/pam.d/system-local-loginand /etc/pam.d/sddm files (THE SDDM FILE ONLY FOR THOSE WHO USE SDDM), setting it like: sddm: auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so auth include system-login -auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so -auth optional pam_kwallet5.so account include system-login password include system-login -password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so use_authtok session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session include system-login -session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start -session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start system-local-login: auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so auth include system-login account include system-login password include system-login session include system-login And it's done!
