  • Build AIRCTL: A modern WiFi manager for Linux (GTK4 + Python) (2026/01/31 09:53)
    Link: github.com/pshycodr/airctl I built this because I wanted a clean WiFi manager for my Arch setup. Most tools felt clunky or terminal-only. What it does: • Scans available networks with auto-refresh • Connects to secured and open networks • Shows detailed network info (IP address, gateway, DNS servers, signal strength, frequency, security type) • Lets you forget and disconnect from networks • Toggles WiFi on/off Link: github.com/pshycodr/airctl submitted by /u/Aroy666 [link] [comments]

    Hola a todos, Estoy teniendo un problema con mi setup de Arch Linux + Hyprland + Caelestia dots. Básicamente, mi teclado sigue en US-english (US) y no hay forma de cambiarlo a español latinoamérica. He intentado varias cosas: loadkeys la-latin1 localectl set-keymap la-latin1 Modificar archivos de configuración como hyprland.conf y console.conf Cambiar keyboard layouts en Hyprland y Caelestia Nada de esto funciona y sigo con el layout en inglés. Mi objetivo es que el teclado funcione en Español Latinoamérica, incluyendo la ñ y tildes. ¿Alguien con experiencia en Hyprland o Arch podría darme una guía clara de cómo solucionarlo? Cualquier ayuda se agradecería mucho 🙏 submitted by /u/NvAlekz [link] [comments]

  • Mulvad DNS issues (2026/01/31 06:15)
    Hey all, Having issues with two boxes, one Gnome and one labwc setup. When both boot and Mulvad starts DNS fails (both aur packages mulvad-vpn and mulvad-vpn-bin). On the Gnome desktop it seems to be worse where I need to toggle the hardware connection on and off for Ethernet to get the connection to start resolving again that doesn't really make sense to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, ChCat submitted by /u/ChCat [link] [comments]

  • Well i wanted to suffer so here i am (2026/01/31 04:37)
    The resolution is all wrong and I'm not allowed to switch it. It's using Wayland when i need direct x11, the nvidia drivers are the wrong version (590 instead of 550, GTX 1070ti). Also my main monitor isn't worthy of displaying arch. During installation i selected proprietary drivers for nvidia, idk what happened. If debian thought me anything that is to read the wiki. I believe this can be fixed by installing the right GPU drivers (correct me if im wrong). Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you submitted by /u/AsAsin18 [link] [comments]

  • Laptop Speakers disappearing when connecting monitor through HDMI (2026/01/31 00:30)
    I've read the WirePlumber configuration from the Wiki so I could get rid of some garbage from the outputs, but I'm facing another issue now. When the HDMI is not plugged, my laptop speakers sink is shown when I list by pactl list sinks, but when I plug it in, it disappear and it is replaced by a headphone sink. Have anyone faced and solved this issue? The outputs btw: Unplugged HDMI: Sink #2632 `State: SUSPENDED` `Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.HiFi__Speaker__sink` Description: Laptop Speakers Plugged HDMI: Sink #2618 `State: SUSPENDED` `Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic.HiFi__Headphones__sink` `Description: Meteor Lake-P HD Audio Controller Headphones` SOLUTION: Had to change manually my card profile. Type: pactl list cards short You'll see something like this: 2547 alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic alsa Now, I've just switched my profile by typing: pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic "HiFi (HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, Mic1, Mic2, Speaker)" Thanks to u/Spirited_Run_3878 submitted by /u/weblerzon [link] [comments]

  • Laptop freezing completely after 10 minutes of playing steam games (2026/01/30 19:31)
    I am pretty new to arch but am liking it a lot so far. The one thing frustrating me the most is this issue, which basically makes it impossible to enjoy games. It has only happened in that circumstance and leaves me with no option but to kill the pc with the power button, a practice I’d like to get rid of. It’s happened once with Minecraft but I assume it’s unrelated. I am using an Acer Swift 3, if you want any other technical details just tell me. Thanks for your time in advance, this is my first time posting here. submitted by /u/ujztz [link] [comments]
  • Fresh Install Won't Accept keyboard input at LUKS prompt (2026/01/30 18:42)
    It's installed on an external NVME drive and when I boot it in Virtualbox it all works fine. and I can get to Getty. It's only when I boot it on my laptop directly that this issue occurs. I use GRUB for boot loader. > Partition scheme is: { /dev/sda1 == unencrypted /boot (Via GRUB) /dev/sda2 == LVM LVM PV == 1xVG w/LV schemed --> swap | root | home the root and home are LUKS encrypted Logical Volumes and the swap is just a plain dm-crypt } The title and first sentence of post basically say it all. However the one important thing to note is that when I boot the drive in VBOX (where it works fine), grubs menu contains an additional entry for "UEFI FIRMWARE SETTINGS". This option does NOT appear in grubs menu when booting from Laptop directly; Telling me Something is either going on with that firmware on my Laptops side ( despite checking that with nvram -p [its a MacBook] ) or there's some type of stale entry from the partition table as I had an old install on it with GRUB as the boot loader previously on the disk and its important to note that I DIDNT WIPE THE OLD GUID TABLE, I just wiped the partition and re-schemed > The things I have tried so far: { - Ensuring UUIDS match across the board and matching syntax based on busy-box/systd based initramfs - adding additional usb modules to initramfs - fully switching between a busy-box and system based initramfs - check, delete, reorder nvram entries with efibootmgr } Thanks in advanced for Taking time to help ☯️ EDIT: ISSUE RESOLVED SOLUTION: My Mac Motherboard was still using the old GUID Table UUID, so it found grub but loaded a menu pointing to old entries from a past install. After deleting EFI entries and starting from scratch it no longer showed up on my Mac boot so I realized The main issue was because I was installing it to my external Nvme ssd from a V-BOX Maschine with an iso attached, so when I ran grub-install it was setting the efibootmgr entries to the virtual Maschine as opposed to my machines motherboard and adding one for the enclosure as well which was odd. solved the issue by etching the iso to my Disk and redoing it for a 3rd time directly booted from my Maschine submitted by /u/define_MACRO-DOSE [link] [comments]
  • Laptop touchpad suddenly stopped working (2026/01/30 13:32)
    I was playing factorio and suddenly the touchpad decided to stop working. I've tried fixing it by searching online, but to no avail. If I connect a mouse or a drawing tablet the cursor works, but no touchpad. I've also checked the "disable touchpad" key, doesn't work either. After rebooting the system and checking the touchpad settings it shows as disabled, but after enabling it it still doesn't work. This is what I get after running xinput list: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ xwayland-pointer:10 id=6 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ xwayland-relative-pointer:10 id=7 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ xwayland-pointer-gestures:10 id=8 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ xwayland-tablet stylus:10 id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ xwayland-tablet eraser:10 id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ xwayland-tablet cursor:10 id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ xwayland-keyboard:10 id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] Thanks in advance submitted by /u/Darox28 [link] [comments]
  • Issue with Wayland: Logout after Login (2026/01/30 12:50)
    Hello, When I try to login to my user I get a black screen for a second then I am back at the main screen. I was already looking around for solutions but couldn't find any. It was running normal before. between the steps I was checking if that fixed it, so far without luck. PC is running with Plasma and Wayland; NVIDIA Graphics and AMD processor. If you need some logs let me know, I am for whatever reason unable to call up a console in the loginscreen (ctrl+alt+F2/F4 doesnt work). During (or right after) the installation of updates I had a blackout - afterwards I was unable to boot, that I managed to fix (arch-chroom and mkinitcpio). Now I have the Issue that I try to log in -> password entered -> screen goes black -> back to main screen. When I type in a wrong password it says so. Boot from stick, connect to wifi manually mount hard drives in mnt and mnt/boot enter arch-chroom at mnt pacman -Syu mkinitcpio -p linux Already tried to re-install all packages (cant remember the exact command - essentially exported them into a txt, then tried to overwrite them), added another user thinking it might be an error there. No success. If I use a bootstick with arch image I can see all files and hard drives. Please note that I'd like to avoid nuking the PC and install it from scratch as I am in a Camp with limited internet at the moment (less about the OS, more about that 1 hard drive is full of games, other one with personal data - couldn't backup it) Any help would be appreciated. submitted by /u/No-Street9156 [link] [comments]
  • A Beginner Interested in Breaking stuff (2026/01/30 11:34)
    Hello! I recently switched to linux from being a life long windows user about 5 months ago. I currently use Bazzite as my main desktop environment for daily use. But now after learning a bit more, feeling a lot more comfortable with Linux, I want to grow more in my understanding, mess around with stuff and get a better understanding on things like building from source code, understanding more deeply how to contain packages, manage things without causing dependency hell, and just overwall want to mess around on my other unused computer that I am not afraid to break stuff on. I am asking here on Arch because I know you guys are atleast considered one of the best for this, but I would like suggestions on if there are other options or better options for me to start with for getting my hands dirty. I very much like Fedora, I have heard good things about Linux mint, and also Arch is very appealing to me as well. I am just unsure what is a good STARTING PLACE for someone like me in experimenting and learning more about technical things relating to linux. I would love to hear from everybody and what you guys think would be a good starting point for me. Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/IHaveRest [link] [comments]
  • Windows-like remote desktop on Wayland (Plasma 6 with an NVIDIA card, if relevant) (2026/01/30 08:37)
    Does this exist yet? Is there a Linux server that will work like Windows RDP? One that will let me lock the host computer's display while still presenting me with a usable desktop on my client the way Windows does? Or is VNC still the only option, forcing the host to remain unlocked and accessible while I'm using it from another location? I don't care about complexity or if there's configuration that will involve the command line etc. I just want something that works as "simple" as RDP, and it's frustrating that there isn't anything close to it on Linux yet. Everything I've researched so far either requires X11 to function like this, or leaves the desktop session unlocked. submitted by /u/Proof_Meringue618 [link] [comments]
  • Wi-Fi stays connected but internet drops intermittently (2026/01/30 07:18)
    Hey, I need some help troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues on Linux. The main symptom is that wireless suddenly stops working. I stay connected to the Wi-Fi network, but there is no internet access. I cannot find any clear errors in journalctl. From what I can tell, the connection still shows as active even while networking is not working. The network often recovers on its own after one or two minutes, sometimes faster. During this time, it switches between having internet access and not having it, even though the connection itself appears to stay active the whole time. I also noticed that restarting NetworkManager brings the connection back immediately. Any ideas on what could cause this or how to debug it further?

  • Learning material about uwsm and systemd slices? (2026/01/29 18:58)
    I'm trying to better understand, concretely, what uwsm does, why I should care, and what some of the options mean. I get that it wraps applications in systemd units and puts them into one of three systemd slices (app-graphical.slice, background-graphical.slice, session-graphical.slice). However, I do not understand, in practice, Why should I care it is wrapped in a systemd unit? (I have seen vague references to "stability", "prevents crashes", but I do not understand what circumstance it helps me in.) What are the differences between these slices? submitted by /u/logannc11 [link] [comments]
  • B580 Today. (2026/01/29 16:51)
    I’m a Linux user (Arch) with a 1070 Ti, and recently it started having issues on top of NVIDIA dropping support. I live in Brazil, and as some people may know, electronics here are very expensive. The B580 fits exactly within my budget (the RX 7600 as well, and if I can get a "bit" more money I might be able to grab a 9060 XT on sale). I’d like to try a B580. I don’t really care much about graphics, and I don’t play many games, mostly PoE, Warframe, Factorio, and Minecraft once in a while, don't really care about raytracing or fake frame. I’m also a programmer, and I might use the GPU for light LLM-related tasks, mainly one-line code completion inside my IDE. I’d like to know what the current state of drivers and compatibility is like, since if I buy it I’ll probably keep it for around 6~7 years (again). Right now I have a 5600X and my motherboard supports resizable BAR (msi b450m pro vdh max). I have 32 GB of crappy non matching RAM, a pretty crappy M.2, a 1440p main monitor, and a vertical ultrawide as a secondary display. I’d also like to know the current state of the drivers, not how things were 2, 3, or 6 months ago, since most reviews are either focused on Windows or already outdated. submitted by /u/MrChuw [link] [comments]
