Arch Linux

Ever since I found out about run0 I've been using that. I don't like having redundant software installed. Is it possible to safely remove sudo from an Arch Linux system? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

It's often being tremendously slow when I load the pages. Does this happen on just my pc or anybody has this too?

macOS has a bunch of apps which can do so, including SketchyVim. Basically you would have all the vim modes motions and operators, inside any text box in the OS / in any app. I just did some looking up and asked LLMs, but didn't find any linux equivalents of that. Ideally they would work on wayland and have app or window class exceptions.

Hello once again lovely people.

This installation of arch is 2 years old at this point and there's nothing wrong with it and I want to do a clean reinstall to feel more fresh. But I've been constantly delaying it for a long time because I'm scared breaking something and also not having my laptop fully functional for even a day isn't a pleasant thought.

To boot into a BTRFS snapshots from rEFind boot manager.

Updated earlier today and some of the packages were gtk, adwaita and related. Is it just me or did anyone else notice this?

Hi, brand new linux noob and am having issues right off the bat.

I'm currently on EndeavourOS that i set up like a week ago and I'm using a 4070 currently, I'm really new to Linux I used mint for about two months and just swapped over to EndeavourOS, but I wanted to know the proper way to swap over to the AMD card some people are saying I need to remove the Nvidia drivers and the add AMDs drivers then swap or others are saying just drop it in and then last is I have to reinstall the os, what is the proper way to do my upgrade? Thanks in advance sorry for the formatting

I have failed my reading comprehension.

I'm thinking about switching to a Firefox fork as a web browser. Apart from Tor, they're all on AUR. I can't use Tor all the time.

Hello everyone,

From Wiki:

It's both Valentine's Day and #iLoveFS Day today, so I'll share some of the Free Software applications that I love using right now:

If I didn't remove make dependencies, would yay/pacman be smart enough to know the thing I am installing does not actually depend on them? It's a very nice feature of package managers that they track dependencies and can do things like remove "dangling" dependencies and I don't want to mess that up with some random dependencies needed only for a build. But I also don't want to install something every time I need to build lol.

When the newly released sdl3 is installed it offers to replace sdl2 with sdl2-compat which is a compatibility wrapper around sdl3. Any experience with this wrapper? Are you a happy user? Have you run into any breakage?

Hey guys, up to a few days ago it was working fine, i.e. it wouldn't go to sleep ever. But probably some update or something else changed and now after 13 minutes my pc goes to sleep.

As the title says. pacman -Q lists only name and version; pacman -Qi does have a "Packager" field, but i think it's not the same thing; pacman -Qs *seems* to be what i want (if local means "all installed packages atm") but it's all prefixed by local/ instead of repo name like mingw32/ which is what i want.

I've seen some tools that do things like take snapshots periodically and ones that add snapshots to grub, but not this specifically. Does something exist?

Hello Arch Linux peeps,

Since swapfile shouldn't be in a snapshot, and I want my system encrypted therefore I am asking if it could be possible to make efi partition big enough to include swapfile inside it?

Hey everyone, I’ve recently been trying to go back to a dual boot setup with Windows and Arch. I would fully switch to Arch, but unfortunately there are still a few things I need access to that either don’t have a FOSS alternative that meets my needs or won’t run through WINE/Proton.

I'll start: After switching to Neovide from the terminal for Neovim, I got really hooked on the animated cursor and smooth scrolling (links to Neovide's features page). It wasn't until 2 months ago when the earlier was added to Kitty. I did so much overthinking about which terminal to use, and realized that I wouldn't (and don't) use most of the features provided by ones like iTerm and Kitty, though I picked the later. I was pleasantly surprised to see it added, even if it could use more work to make long smooth cursor animations like Neovide. The only other feature I want is smooth scrolling, I can't believe there are no modern terminals with it.

I looked up specifically examples of this and didn't find answers, they're buried in general discussions about why compiling may be better than pre-built. The reasons I found were control of flags and features, and optimizations for specific chips (like Intel AVX or ARM Neon), but to what degree do those apply today?

Updated my system today and it started randomly crashing, usually with these messages in journal:

I want to set the system to send DNS queries with a custom port, not 53. I added DNS=127.0.0.1 9053 to /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and DNS=127.0.0.1:9053 to /etc/systemd/networkd.conf. But now DNS queries are sent via the default DNS with port 53. What can I do?

Does anyone manage to run hoptodesk appimage on Arch? See https://www.hoptodesk.com

Hi,

Do anyone know how to disable the touchscreen on wayland? All I find is only relevant for x11

I installed CachyOS with Plasma DE and found it has no discover in it. When I searched on their sub lots of people say that one shouldn't use Discover with any Arch distro as it will break the system. Can anybody clarify why?

Hello guys!

Not entirely related to this community, but I don't know where else to ask.

Hey, how do we generally handle forks of packages that we wish to use on the AUR?

Hey people ! How do you do ? I am posting because in recent time I had troubles with easyeffects. The UI is buggy such as frequent crash when adding effects, it's impossible to save any preset and the input fields are buggy (I also can't type anything in them). Am I the only one or is it more spread ? (I installed via pacman and have trouble on tumbleweed too but less)

Hi, I already asked this in a gnome community but I was unable to get an answer since the issue is more complex than it seems (and I really do not want to go to r*ddt, heh) :) I run arch with gnome in a tuxedo infinibook 14 gen 9 (intel) and since this is a recent model, there are things that does not seems to be working out of the box... specially when installing another distro than the ones they recomment (which are a no-go for me because of two main reasons: I want arch, I want gnome).

I've been using paru. Just wanted to know if aura is, in your opinion, better than paru and why.

When I pacman-Syu, it fluctuates between 200kb to 500kb

I'm excited to introduce Keyshift, a performance-focused and easy-to-configure keyboard remapping software that I've been developing. I've been using it for some time, and I'm really happy with the results!

There is an AUR package that errors when I update it, and it has been like that for a while so I wondered if I could fix it myself?

Cross posting so that the OP realizes this community is alive. I have no issues with qemu, which is installed on my system with no issues.

I’m trying to make a custom iso with archiso, currently I just have the standard profile with plasma-meta, kitty, and xorg-xinit installed. When booting the iso the shell is zsh as expected, but when I launch kde with startx it changes the shell to bash.

Running into an issue where I have no internet connection. I've put iwd so I cam use iwctl for the wifi, enabled iwd.service, syatemd.resolv service and not sure what else i need to do. Ethernet doesn't work either but i didnt change the settings to UP on it since i wasnt planning on using it. Did chroot from what I read in the manual and no errors that I saw during the base install. Just trying to find the best way to fix lack of internet connectivity so any guidance on the issue would be appreciated.

I've been running Arch for about a year on my pretty old Acer laptop with an I7 8750h and a GTX 1060. Got a pretty good deal on a used Asus Tuf A16 with a Ryzen 7 7735hs and an RX 7700s.

I installed CachyOS with BTRFS, LUKS2 , REFIND.

Let's say i made 10 snapshots on top of the base.

I am on EndeavourOS and was running the core/linux kernel and used yay to update my kernel to probably 6.11.1arch along with some programs and Nvidia driver updates. After rebooting it went to the login screen but when hitting login it stayed at a black screen till it fell back to terminal without gui. In the grub submenu I tried fallback which had the same problem. Fortunately I had LTS installed, and it worked.

Hey guys. I recently installed cachyos on my PC. It’s showing the nvidia drivers installed but gives me no output if I plug hdmi into the card. Only my motherboard port is giving video output. Any idea how I can resolve this?

Running a search for the error I didn’t find one for deepin-icon-theme, but the same error for other packages in arch updates show up and the other ones I saw laid the blame on improper packaging. Given that this is the one from the arch repositories and not some AUR package, I’m nowhere near confident enough in myself to jump to the conclusion that this is someone else’s fault, so I’m asking here.

Is there a standard or well-known, de-facto uitility for this?

Hi everyone, hope you guys have a nice day! Long story short. I hop from opensuse tumbleweed to arch recently. I want to setup snapper so it work like on opensuse just to be safe. Even on opensuse the rolling release did kill my system few time. I run into this part on the arch wiki.

Can I change the location of BTRFS snapshots. I installed CachyOS, and it automatically setup BTRFS subvols.

How to install ProtonVPN in Arch Linux (CachyOS) ?

I'm using IPV6-able mirrors

My config for reflector is currently set as follows:

Hello, guys, I just installed artix and then install awesome. And want to configure it, but have no .config directory. I created it, copied rc.lua from /etc/xdg/awesome/, but it's don't work with it. Only with /etc/xdg/awesome/ dir. Can you help me with it, or I can just leave it like this? - upd: It was my mistake, because I created .xinitrc using root profile using such command: touch ~/.xinitrc, that why it was created in /root/ directory and caused errors, when I trying to startx without sudo. (I didn't write about it, cause thought that it didn't matter) But now all works right

Screen on event crashes PC and corrupts journalctl, seems to be an issue with edid.

Some packages install in under a minute, while alternatives which seem functionally similar, take *hours*.

Hey, so I am losing my mind here. I can NOT get rid of this severe popping and crackling I get on all audio on all sources and all outputs. I am running pipewire as the audio system but I just cant get it to stop. I have already altered my pipewire.conf as seems to be the only thing the internet at large will ever recommend, it has ZERO effect. as an example...

In order to update hyprland-git, I need to install hyprwayland-scanner-git. But when I try to install it, pacman says that it failed to commit a transaction.

I have already created a post for this on the Arch Linux Forum two days, but I didn't recieve any reply there, so I'm trying it here.
