So I've spent the last hour or so trying to fix the audio and I can't figure it out, I've tried even a couple tutorials and looking for some kind of installation guide but nothing seems to work. I am using Hyprland and hyprpanel for the statusbar, though I think that's only important because hyprpanel uses Wireplumber. Seriously I have no idea how to fix this. This is a fresh install and arch in my laptop the audio works just fine, though I have no idea how I did it, it probably just came with hyprland. Could it be some kind of update?

I'll probably just install it all over again but still gonna post it

Does pip actually works on arch without virtual environment ?, the only thing I can do is --break-system-packages, but I think pip should work without this like it does in other distros.

I am following a video on the manual installation of Arch since some people told me that the "easy" way to do it is not recommender for a series of reasons. I ended up with some issues so I'm installing it again.

The problem is that I want to learn to use the arch wiki and the arch installation guide, but there are steps or terms that I cannot understand and I end up in a loop of applyimg what the video says, comparing it to the installation guide, googling ehat this or that does and so on. My question is how did you get the knowledge necesary to comprehend each part of the guide and how would you advise me to learn it.

Did you learn it in the process by googling everything? Previous experience? I would like to know.

Hey people. This would go on the Arch forums if any output I got from "date -u +%V$(uname)|sha512sum|sed 's/\W//g'" would be accepted at the registration. However, here I am.

I had a nicely running setup on a Thinkpad that was tribooting between three home partitions and two boot partitions, laid out the following way:

nvme0n1p1 arch boot - vfat
nvme0n1p2 arch - ext4
nvme0n1p3 windows boot  - ??
nvme0n1p4 windows tiny11 
nvme0n1p5 freebsd - ufs *sharing efi on p1 with arch

I got a little carried away with a project, or task rather, on my arch system and my best solution to a problem i encountered was just to backup my home dir and configs to an external and format the arch / and /boot, and start fresh. went ahead and did that, first time using archinstall after formatting and partitioning the boot and root devices in the same places they were (with my freebsd efi boot config backed up), then when it came to boot into the system, and i can't get it to launch. i click the device in my boot drive menu, it goes black, and comes back to the menu. i tried again, installing long-form without archinstall, same thing

anyone know what's going on here?

Stop being so hard on newbies to Arch. Seriously it doesn't help at all. Instead give constructive criticism, educate them, and enjoy GNU/Linux together. I am a Linux power user and I use Arch. If we help new Arch users a few things could happen:

• More people will be using Arch (great for our community).
• The benefits of Arch will be spread, by newbies sharing with others.
• Newbies will eventually learn and may develop their own packages to contribute to the cause.
• They may gain a deep appreciation for what makes Arch special (a DIY approach to distros).

Linus Torvalds philosophy for Linux is free, open source software for all. Giving the user the power. Linux is great because it's more secure, highly customizable, gives you a great degree of control, and it's private. I'm tired of people misleading others, telling them to read the f****** manual (RTFM), and telling them not to use Arch.

Just 2 weeks ago I successfully built my first Arch distro and it still has not had any issues. I used Ubuntu before, but switched because I don't believe in Canonicals' bad practices. If you are one of the Arch users who takes time to help newbies thank you! If you're a newbie yourself, don't worry about hostile users. People like me are happy to help! This is an amazing, dedicated community, which has made many extremely awesome accomplishments and I look forward to seeing all of us do cool things on us and the community growing! :)

Title. I have a multi boot going, with an arch based distro, debian, and windows boot options. I have arch on btrfs. I'm trying to get grub to remember my last selection and choose it when (re)booting.

I know that grub doesn't support writing to btrfs, and marked the feature request as wishlist, but it seems opensuse has it working for years with this patch. I've tried installing grub-grubenv-btrfs from the aur which ships the patch and applies it, but no joy. I still get the same behavior and error about sparse files not allowed.

Edit: so I had to run grub-install again after installing grub-grubenv-btrfs to get the change to apply. New to arch, but figuring it out!

Compared to a installation you do without the script?

I have a dual booted arch kde6 laptop with x11 and wayland. But i tried to experiment with hyprland now i stuck in tty.

I can get into grub and after entering into arch nothing is showing except an underscore.

Since i have lenovo pressing Fn+F4 can take me to tty terminal.

Kindly help me. Thanks in advance.

P.S: I don't want to reinstall arch, mainly don't want to erase my data and configurations.

Never was able to get it installed. The demo os would open and work. When I installed it would freeze and said something was locked. I tried to reinstall Endeavor it would not work. So I installed Debian worked perfect. Then I was able to reinstall Endeavor. What Happened?

I have installed arch. Im new linux user. I head its easier than ubuntu. No terminal. Only graphical interface. Installation of this was 50 Times easier than linux mint and ubuntu. Just default graphical arch installer (no console or terminal). There is no any text based installer. Plasma out of the box🤗oh and this window? Its not terminal Its graphical apps installer called Discover where you can easy show your linux version. So if you are new to linux install it. Its easy pasy!

Hi there. Excuse me but I need help. Currently I have 2 disks, an SSD for Windows and an HDD for Archlinux. Everything already installed. When I try to enter Windows, it doesn't allow me and it doesn't even appear to help me. Please.

Im confused by the guide provided in the Wiki. I read several times that you have to add modeset to the kernel parameters in order to make Arch work with Wayland. I do not find anything on the WIKI page regarding this because all the sources say to add it in grub. There’s nothing about grub in the wiki. So I now wonder where to add it?!

When I install graphics driver, my resolution of display changes to 640x480 when without driver it is 1366x768. I tried to change it with xrandr, but it says that this resolution is not supported by display. I tried installing other linux distros but the same problem. Please help, if you know how to fix it.
