I've recently encountered issues with John The Ripper where there are some issues regarding MPI. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried to reinstall John and compile it from source, but that did not help.

 $ john

As you saw in the title I need a file compression app that is compatible with windows since i'm gonna be using it for work. I'm using 7zip at the moment since i need compatibility with windows but i was looking for something that has a gui, I have to do everything using the terminal.

Since I have two linux boxes running arch, I made a script to make things easier for me, but i'm not sure if it covers all things dev and simplifying life related with the OS. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm trying to understand what could be eating up a large portion of my RAM. Even when I kill almost all processes, including my WM, about 14 GB of RAM is marked as in use.

htop looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/gOg6WkM.png

I've flushed the ZFS ARC, so that shouldn't be the culprit.

I've seen some reports suggesting the amdgpu GTT as a culprit, but I don't think that's the case based on this:

What else could I investigate?

I have been looking through the wiki for dual booting, but am very confused and do not fully understand the process need to dual boot. Any additional wiki pages that could help:

Hey all! So I am relatively new to Arch and have only had arch installed for at most a week (I don't really remember how long). Here is my problem, when I try to run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg to update my grub, I get an error saying:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-linux
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img 
sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device

So I of course went to check df -T and saw that it was in fact 100% and only had 255 MB of space total. I checked to see if there was anything I can remove from the boot partition to free up some space but no dice. So I (maybe naively) decided that I should just pop in a manjaro live iso so that I could use gparted to expand the tiny 255MB /boot partition to a 2GB partition Thinking that should be more than enough. I was able to successfully expand that partition without completely nuking my laptop so I was pretty happy and thought it should be as easy as booting into arch again and running the grub update command again. Well I was wrong and I still get the same error as before. Below you will see the ouptut of `df -T`:

As you can see, there is nothing in my /boot directory that should be making this partition be full. The current amount of files in this directory total only to 129 MB. I have no clue how there is not enough space to even update the grub.cfg. I have been researching this all day to no avail. Its probably just my lack of experience but I jus thave no clue what to do because almost all other posts I have found have said stuff like, "make sure that there are not older kernels that are installed" or "make sure that {xyz} does not have duplicates" or something along those lines. Any help is appreciated with this. I am just kinda at a loss as to what could possibly be the issue. (If possible I would like to not have to reformat that partition I no that if I have to do that again my likelihood of shooting myself in the foot is very high lol. But if that is the only way so be it. I chose arch for reason :) )

Thanks in advance and sorry for the essay!

memory usage of processes

rebooting fixes but I wanted to know why this was happening

Emojis on GTK applications are rendered in a tremendously big font size. I am not using scaling, so DPI is 100, but it only gets bigger if I increase DPI.

Here are examples:

I have a Dell G3, for some reasons I have to use the SSD for a while, had to reinstall the OS, with proprietary nvidia drivers, I have an nvidia gpu and an intel cpu, but the computer got quite slow after a day and some games are not running, what drivers or stuff do I download/change? I don't have bumblebee installed.

I'm trying to set up an arch VM using Quickemu (QEMU helper/wrapper) but am running into an issue where the network is limited. I'm able to ssh in and install packages, as well as connect to my Tailscale VPN + ssh out of the box using it, but any other connections do not work. Pinging google.com times out, pinging 1.1.1.1 times out, and pinging local machines result in "Destination port unreachable". Running `ip link` shows me I have an active connection on the virtual ethernet adapter. I've tried both networkmanager and dhcpcd running and the issue still persists. Any pointers as to how to resolve this issue?

Update: couldn't find a solution, doing backups and reinstalling

This post aim to recapitulate the ongoing problem on my system and asking for help, plis.

Now im going to do a summary of everything i made step by step

Pre-event summary:

1.  everything works fine
2. games runs smoothing
3. correct drivers installation and setup
4. 4 months since system installation
5. up to date
6. no blue text on boot

Events summary:

1. Installed unigine-haeven
2. use unigine-heaven, try to put it on fullscreen, it crashed and freezed system.
3. force reboot.
4. when on SDDM, cant enter to plasma wayland, but i can´t on x11 and steamos-compositor-plus.
5. reinstall plasma.
6. when rebooting, blue text showed on booting, and SDDM didnt work, used tty "start-plasmawayland" worked.
7. at first seems ok, then i open app launcher, and it becomes laggy, it only happens with wayland apps, firefox runs smooth by example.

TLDR: looking for suggestions/inspiration what to use for my fresh arch install, would like to know what options are out there. Feel free to show your setups btw!

After having used Manjaro for a while (mainly for gpu-passtrough) and gotten hooked on the ease of pacman I’ve finally made the switch to arch. I’ve got it running but now looking for inspiration on what to use for my setup. Any suggestions what to look into, I feel that I might be missing out on a lot of options and clever solutions so was hoping for some input from you guys. Here is an indication of what direction I would like to go: A quite minimal desktop environment, most applications I use fullscreen anyways and the closest I get to using a desktop is pressing the windows key to search and open a program so most things I will just do with cli. Boot into a (tmux) terminal and have something like i3 to switch between a browser, vscode/neovim (when I get around to setting it up, for now using ide’s with vim keybindings) and maybe an option to use a second screen. An optional overlay terminal, like what the xcfe manjaro environment comes with, and would probably have a status bar only appear when holding the windows key.

I understand I should and want to find my own ways of doing things but i’m also aware that there is a lot out there and like some ideas where and what to look for.

Simply some names or terms to look for would already be much appreciated, something like examples of how you did it if ur in the mood.

Looking forward to suggestions and inspiration!

Hello fellow arch Linux lovers and enthusiasts, so straight to the point, I'm so young, and I'm very interested in Linux and the programming field, I'm also learning Python, but my questions are, how to learn Linux, when can I be more than a usual Linux user, I really want to be more than that, I spend much time in the terminal doing some basic commands navigating my system tweaking and stuff, but I want to contribute to the Linux community be an "open-sourcer" be a productive part in the community, currently my day is Math Linux Python and training, that's literally what I do, any critics or responses will be appreciated :{ )

hi guys sorry to bother but i want to install archilinux, but im completly new to it i used linux mint and ubuntu before but wanted to swich, wanted to install this one https://github.com/k-arch27/k-arch for the snapshots thing but idk even on how to start

[SOLVED] According winehq wiki aconnect -o it should show if any midi thingy is running. So i ran

fluidsynth -l -s -i -aalsa -o audio.alsa.device=default /usr/share/soundfonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2 and it seems like it actually ran perfectly fine as i ran the game and i can listen to the music (which in the settings is MCI)

Hello as the title says i been trying to get the music of a wine game, Elona (a roguelike videogame) to work, it uses MIDI sounds. I tried timidity and didnt work so i got fluidsynth and some sf2 files. Last thing i have is fluidsynth whit the FluidR3 sf2 file running yet the music of the game doesnt work

I am not sure if i am doing this correclty tho, i ran fluidsynth -a /home/antonio/soundcustom/FluidR3_GM.sf2 same happens as i run the command whit wine /home/antonio/GAMES/elonaplus/elonapluscgx.exe

and this is the output

I have pipewire as my computer audio, idk if thats something else, i tried uninstalling pipewire and installing pulseaudio but nothing.

There are no overrided libraries on my winecfg and on the sound tab everything is on system (default).

I already insalled all the libalsa libraries and things.

Is there any way I can save it when rebooted it posts to a blank command line and unable to type.

This is my first time installing any Linux distribution but I gathered that without grub the system won’t boot

Is there any way to fix?

Hello, I recently bought a Baseus GH02 headset and I'm having trouble getting it to work properly on my Arch Linux. I'm having difficulty using its 2.4GHz USB dongle. The system recognizes it as "USB audio & HID", but there's no sound coming from the headset. I've already tested the device on Windows 11 via dual-boot and it works correctly there. As for the Bluetooth mode, it works perfectly, but I need the 2.4GHz mode via the dongle. It's worth mentioning that on Windows it's recognized with a different name, "USB game" if I'm not mistaken. System information: OS: Arch Linux Kernel: 6.9.9-arch-linux-1 DE: Plasma 6.1.2 CPU Intel: Xeon 2670 v3 GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 Super Audio Card: HDA Intel PCH Audio Chip: Realtek ALC897

Solution:

The solution to this issue is quite simple: just decrease the volume on your headset. For some reason, the volume wheel is inverted in Linux. At maximum, there's no sound, and at minimum, it's at maximum volume.

Im using Arch Linux with intel mesa display drivers. KDE Plasma 6.1.2. QT version 6.7.2

I have a Hidpi screen with the scaling set to 175% and refresh rate to 60Hz even though my laptop screen supports 90Hz for battery saving purposes

What the issue i am having is that during the normal usage, not gaming, the frame rate randomly drops to around 30 or you can say eveyrhting gets randomly jittery. Any suggestions on how to fix this or what might be causing this? Or anything i can do figure out why?

Thank you.

I have windows and pop os already installed and I would like to triple boot with arch.
I would like to know if I have to manually configure to use the existing efi partition(which is on a separate disk) or should I let archinstall create it again for arch?
Windows and pop os are on different disks and I plan to install arch on the same disk as windows on a separate partition. I plan on giving arch atleast 200 gigs (might use it as my daily driver if i end up liking it) would arch mess with my windows installation (personally i don't really care about windows but keeping it just in case I need it for university and have some important files on it and too lazy to move it around)

Do I have to select systemd-boot as bootloader? Would it clash with the pop os bootloader(systemd-boot)?

On zsh, I don't have path completions for e.g. git add <path> and i have zsh-completions installed. On bash this works by default without their bash-completion package.

Any ideas?

Hi, it seems some package upgrade broke the display of non-ascii unicode characters (e.g. japanese or chinese characters, symbols etc.) for me. This is how the Japanese Wikipedia looks now for me.

The problem is: I have no idea which package is at fault. The problem is not specific to a single application. Firefox shows it, but I also tried Chrome with the same result. My terminal emulator (kitty) also can't print them.

I first thought that it might be a font problem, but I use a completely different font in Kitty than what the browsers are using.

I also tried different Window Managers, I'm normally on Sway, but Hyprland and Gnome (Wayland) are also affected.

Any ideas?

Hallo guys, i tried to install arch on my thinkpad x1 but the System only boot in my bios Boot menu when i try to select my disk with the partitions are on i just get the same screen again. :(

I followed the Installation Guide and on YouTube Arch Linux: A Comfy installieren Guide I did the exact same as the guy but used cfdisk for my nvme.

I updated my packages for the first time in about a month, and suddenly my audio stopped working. I use pipewire with wireplumber. I have confirmed that I have sof-firmware installed. Pipewire is running normally according to systemctl. Wireplumber is reporting some errors:

Jul 16 14:44:44 archie wireplumber[1661]: spa.alsa: Path Capture is not a volume or mute control

Here is my boot log: http://0x0.st/X98C.txt

I tried backing up the local wireplumber state folder, and letting itself recreate on boot, but that didn't help either. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!! <3

Hello everyone,

I have been using fedora for the past year and I like it so far. But I did a complete reinstall to upgrade fedora 40 kde. At first it was really light and fast but now it feels laggish sometimes.

I'm using hyprland and have a nvidia gpu.

I have been wanting to move to arch for the past month and have been testing it out on a vm.

My question is: how is performance in arch with nvidia?

I will be dual booting since most of the games i play don't run on linux

I've noticed pacman will basiclly always install (if possible) a -debug package of the same program. which are in most cases useless.. is there like an option to remove that automatic installation?

My firefox is using light theme when I use system theme.

Hello, I know I am stupid. I tried to look at the wiki page for "Uniform look for Qt and GTK applications, but I got confused.

I'm not using a DE, just Hyprland WM. So how would I make these apps that use the "system theme" use the dark theme? Like, do I need to set some environment variable or edit some qt gtk config or what?

Doing a manual install.

I get that most stuff is already included in linux and linux-firmware. I'm just curious if there are certain packages that should be installed explicitly or if I should just rely on packages pulling things in as a dependency.

For example, the mesa package seems to be a common dependency for a lot of graphical packages I've inspected so do I really need to install it explicitly as some people have suggested? Is this just a good practice to have?

Seems the stuff for the CPU is pretty straightforward as the main installation guide recommends installing the CPU microcode which for AMD is amd-ucode.

For the GPU there's a lot more. I've been digging through the post installation page of General Recommendations and have looked through the AMDGPU and Hardware Video Acceleration. From what I could gather I should install:

mesa
lib32-mesa
vulkan-radeon
lib32-vulkan-radeon
mesa-vdpau
libva-mesa-driver
libva-utils

Though I'm not exactly sure about mesa-vdpaw or libva-utils. The latter I'm guessing is more for troubleshooting right?

As for mesa-vdpaw I'm not sure if that's just outdated and I should just be using libva-mesa-driver similar to how Pulse Audio is outdated and Pipewire is what we should be using.

To reiterate, my question is should I be explicitly installing these packages as a matter of good practice? Or is it more a matter of taste if I install these packages explicitly and I could just rely on anything I download using them as dependencies.

I could be asking the wrong question out of ignorance so feel free to correct me on that. Also, is libva-utils a good tool to have at hand and is mesa-vdpaw outdated and unnecessary?

Don't know much about it but does udev already handle all of this and I shouldn't even need to think about firmware?

Would love to know.

P.S. I did read the recentish post "I am new to arch and linux. How can I install AMD drivers?" which someone answered with a very similar list of packages to what I posted and is a very similar question.

I have used ntfs-3g to automount my ntfs partitions in fstab using the following syntax

/dev/disk/by-uuid/0A36AFE336AFCE4F /mnt/0A36AFE336AFCE4F auto defaults,nofail,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=C 0 0

After ntfs-3g was dropped in latest kernels, I changed it to use ntfs3

/dev/disk/by-uuid/0A36AFE336AFCE4F /mnt/0A36AFE336AFCE4F ntfs3 defaults,nofail,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=C 0 0

But I'm getting permission issues in the inner levels of my partitions, it seems that defaults mount option is not working with ntfs3, how can I correctly translate it to work with the new driver? I have multiple users on my machine who need to access those partitions with full write permission.
