With the neofetch repo being set to archive status on GitHub. What's everyone's go to alternative?

Good time of day everyone! I have several questions that I have not yet found specific answers to, or I have not been able to make a clear conclusion from the vague formulations and responses in other (often old) forum threads and reddit posts.

I want to clarify that I have no problems installing the distribution itself and so on; everything seems to work fine, except for yesterday's problem when my Steam games with a platinum status on ProtonDB wouldn't launch, and the one that did only showed the Intel adapter option in the GPU settings.

So let's get to the point:

1. nvidia-dkms / nvidia - I have a 3070 Ti in my laptop, which falls under the NV170 category. The Arch wiki suggests that for the Turing (NV160/TUXXX) series or newer, I could install the nvidia-open package for open-source kernel modules on the Linux kernel. For other kernels, nvidia-open-dkms must be used. The question about open/proprietary will be addressed in the third point. Regarding dkms - does this include every type of kernel that might be updated regularly through system updates, or does it refer exclusively to custom kernels? That is, I mean that the regular nvidia drivers are suitable for cases when the kernel will be updated strictly through updates by Arch itself and not manually by me.
2. NVIDIA Prime - I understand that the PRIME Profiles tab in nvidia-settings is designed for Ubuntu? I've read that it's essentially unnecessary and everything works out of the box (DE on Intel, games, and others on NVIDIA), but I still would like to clarify this point.
3. Installing Drivers through archinstall - Considering my laptop's hybrid Intel/NVIDIA graphics setup, this question is particularly targeted at users with similar devices (to obtain an answer based on personal experience) - what's the better approach to installing drivers? Should I prioritize installing all open-source (default) drivers first (do they include nvidia-open drivers?) and then nvidia, or can I directly install nvidia? Also, with the vast information available on the Arch wiki, which has answered almost all my questions (this is the first public question I've asked regarding Arch) but also presented some contradictory recommendations, which nvidia option would be the most appropriate (this also refers to the recommendations on the wiki) - open or proprietary?

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Problem:

I've been an arch user for about 3 years, and I installed arch on my new HP Omen about one month ago, and ever since I first installed it I couldn't get the integrated graphics to work With hybrid graphics enabled from the BIOS, grub starts perfectly fine, the system checks follow through, and instead of being sent to the tty, I get a gray screen from which I can't exit no matter what, the only way to shut it down being to hold the power button for a long time However, with only gpu graphics, everything works perfectly fine, I can get into my tty and start my wm as usual

My specs:

Laptop: HP Omen 16-xf0xxx CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics (16) @ 5.423GHz GPU0: AMD ATI 05:00.0 Phoenix1 GPU1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Max-Q / Mobile RAM: 32GB DDR5 5600MT/S

Hi, about one week ago, Quickemu stopped booting macOS machines correctly after an update with the following messages:

But nothing starts and the system returns to the terminal... The other Linux and Windows machines are created and booted successfully. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how I could fix it?

Thank you!

Had it working previously but after launching a dominion match and the entire game crashing it no longer starts. Running a wayland compositor and launching through steam + proton expiremental. I do also have proton easy anticheat installed aswell.

Yesterday night, before sleeping, I updated my system. There were a handful of systemd updates but I thought nothing of them. I woke up today and my Macbook boots to 'error finding startup disk' rather than the systemd-boot screen.

I've tried plugging in an Arch USB, mounting /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 to /mnt/boot and /mnt respectively (confirmed that /boot is my ESP partition by checking /etc/fstab) and running bootctl install, but that didn't help. Rebooting again and running bootctl list/status/is-installed show results as if it systemd-boot were installed but it does not launch when I press the power button and I am taken to the aforementioned error screen.

What are my options now? This has happened once before too (after a systemd update I must add) and I simply reinstalled it again, but I don't have the time to repeat that process right now.

I installed cava from source on GitHub and it seg faulted Tried the aur package via yay and got the same result. What are my next steps?

Hi! Do you know why, since a couple of days ago, whenever I try to update my system, the installer tries to download the whole chromium repo? I'm only guessing it'll try and compile it next. The context suggests something to do with electron, but it's never happened before. I also haven't installed anything new, if anything at all, I've been deleting stuff for the past weeks...

i followed @someordinarygamers arch install video theres an issue when i try to install any package it says

error: hook /etc/pacman.d/hooks/nvidia.hook line 2:invalid operation Operation-Install

error: failed to commit transaction (failed to run transaction hooks) error occurred, no packages were upgraded

Hi all, I don’t know if this is the right place to ask but here my problem: I’ve just installed Arch (minimum type) and also Hyprland with the install script Hyperdots of prasanthrangan. I haven’t touched on the system much yet, just installed some packages, but I do recognize that my SSD (I installed Arch on an external ssd) is a bit hot compared to other ssd on which I installed Fedora. The temperature I found (using smartmontools) is around 42-47 Celsius. I only run konsole at the time. So my question is that is there any chances that maybe I haven’t setup things properly or perhaps this is a hardware issue? Or hyprland issue?

Thanks so much. Hope you guys have a nice day.

I was following instructions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Arch_build_system up to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Arch_build_system#Updating section.

Then I found that there is no src/archlinux-linux/ or archlinux-linux/ directory.

I also found that dependency on git was removed as well as a proper git source here.

Is there still a way to use ABS to build local kernel or should I switch to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Traditional_compilation?

Hi all,

got tired of Kubuntu after 3 months and installing tons of PPAs to get up-to-date software. Now have finally been brave enough to run Arch. (Well, Endeavour OS, but I think the following is a "general" isue). It's been a blast, but I need to call upon the combined knowledge of the Arch community.

I installed com.github.tchx84.Flatseal to manage flatpak permissions. Flatseal launches without any issues, but does not display any text! Please see the screenshot. I am using KDE with the default Breeze-dark theme and org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze is also installed as flatpak. All other flatpaks I have (Joplin, Onlyoffice) work without issues.

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!

"Fatal Error: The system does not meet the minimum DirectX 11 / Shader Model 5.0 requirements to run the application"
Fresh install of Arch and Steam refuses to launch any game I install. I have Proton enabled, and have tried using Proton 8.05 and Proton Experimental, still that error. I have tried launching HellDivers 2, Dead By Daylight, Dark Souls Remastered and Lethal Company. Its know its a problem with Steam, I have tested Minecraft, it launches no problem, displays my GPU correctly, AMD Radeon RX580 8GB, and I get the expected fps, and Stardew Valley works. I rebooted multiple times, reseated my GPU, reinstalled Steam and updated all my packages using sudo pacman -Syu.

Solved:

Just used the flatpak version, issue undetermined, probably didn't install the dependencies

Hi, I'm new to arch (😅) and believe I'm having some driver issues. I have an Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti, and installed the nvidia, nvidia-utils, and nvidia-settings packages, and (as far as I know) blacklisted the nouveau drivers. However, the performance across all games that I tested (Cyberpunk, R6, CS2), has ran considerably slower than in Windows 11 (by ~20% less in fps) and certain games (most notably CS2) have just been very choppy, which is a little unfortunate because part of the reason I switched over was for better in-game performance. I've also noticed general flickering in a lot of applications that I used.

I read that I may have more luck installing nvidia-beta drivers because I have a newer card, however installing the nvidia-beta package did not seem to change the performance in any games at all. I re-made the grub cfg file and rebooted multiple times, and tried reinstalling steam and the games. Using the 'lspci -k' command showed that the kernel graphics driver in use was 'nvidia':

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD104 [GeForce RTX 4070 Ti] (rev a1)
Subsystem: ZOTAC International (MCO) Ltd. Device 1696
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

Should this say 'nvidia-beta,' or would both the stable and beta drivers be listed under the same name here? When running 'nvidia-smi' the driver version number does align with the beta branch, though.

Is there anything else I can do to get more stable performance? Is there something I am missing, or should I just switch to debian? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Hello 👋

I installed arch Linux on my SSD, and used it for a while. When I wanted to go back to Linux on my SSD, a "recovering Journal" error appeared.Please, I don't know how to fix it, but it seems very specific.

I made an error while installing and am now stuck in the rootfs screen, unable to shutdown or restart?

sh: sudo: not found, cat /proc/sys//kernel/sysrq is 0 so i am unable to change anything

That's it, I'd like to install Arch on a different drive that will replace the one I'm using now. I'd like to just do it in my current install if possible. Like bootstrap into an arch install from Arch.

hello reddit, i installed arch yesterday and my laptop is hot af.

The fans are barely running and not at enough speed, so ive been trying to install a proper fan control software nor fancontrol (no pwm controllable devices error) or nbfc linux worked (didnt find a profile for my laptop and the ones available dont seem to work at all).

Is there a proper way for enabling proper proper cooling on my device that im not aware of or should i just give up?

hi, so i took the time to write how i install arch linux using the archinstall script and manually partitioning because i wanted to make a deaf friendly video but it's going to take some time so this is the text version i guess

this is how i do it and it works for me

better formatted here
if you're using a laptop or wifi card follow the iwctl guide to connect to your wifi

now, the install

set the time and date:

root@archiso ~ # timedatectl set-ntp true

to speed things up we'll do

root@archiso ~ # pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring --noconfirm

listing all block devices:
root@archiso ~ # lsblk

nvme0n1 500G 0 disk
nvme0n2 120G 0 disk
⌙nvme0n2p1 120G 0 part

in this case i'll use nvme0n1

root@archiso ~ # cfdisk /dev/nvme0n1

eg:
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
Free Space 1234 43210 100000 500G

here you create a 1G EFI partition and a Linux filesystem partition (will be your root partition)

like this:
nvme0n1 500G 0 disk
⊢ nvme0n1p1 0 1G 0 part (EFI system)
⊢ nvme0n1p2 0 499G 0 part (Linux file system)

partitioning/formatting without a swap partition eg:

nvme0n1p1 as fat32
and
nvme0n1p2 499G as ext4

root@archiso ~ # mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/nvme0n1p1
root@archiso ~ # mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p2

then mount nvme0n1p2 to /mnt

root@archiso ~ # mount nvme0n1p2 /mnt
then

root@archiso ~ # mkdir /mnt/boot
then

root@archiso ~ # mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot

it should be like this:
nvme0n1 500G 0 disk
⊢ nvme0n1p1 0 1G 0 part /mnt/boot
⊢ nvme0n1p2 0 499G 0 part /mnt

then use archinstall script

root@archiso ~ # archinstall

Mirrors: here you have to select the mirror that is closer to you
Locales: select the defined by your region and keyboard layout
Disk configuration: select pre-mounted configuration
here enter the root directory of mounted devices: /mnt

Disk encryption: up to you, i generally don't use it
Bootloader: select grub
Unified kernel images: false
Swap: true
Host name: default or change it, up to you
Root password: set a password
User account: add a user and use the same password as root and make this user a superuser.
Profile: here you'll select the type, desktop environment, gpu drivers and greeter
go for (KDE or Gnome)
Gpu drivers: select open source for amd or intel, if you're using nvidia select proprietary nvidia
Greeter: sddm
Audio: Pipewire
Kernels: use the default
Additional packages: firefox flatpak nano gcc clang make cmake btop htop nvtop
Network configuration: select use networkmanager
Timezone: select your timezone
Additional repositories: select multilib
then

install

after the install:

would you like to chroot into the newly created installation and perform past-installation configuration?
yes

then

root@archiso ~ # pacman -Sy grub efibootmgr dosfstools mtools

then

root@archiso ~ # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB

then

root@archiso ~ # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

now exit

root@archiso ~ # exit

then

root@archiso ~ # reboot

done!
why grub? because i'm used to it

I wanted to install Archlinux on my laptop (ThinkPad E485, processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10). I created a bootable USB (16GB) that included the newest ISO file wich i downloaded from the archlinux.org site (i used rufus to create my bootable USB). I deactivated secure boot in my BIOS. Then i went into the bootmenu and chose my USB as the medium that i wanted to boot from. After that something called GNU GRUB opened up. There i could chose the Following Option: Arch Linux Install medium (x86_64, x64 UEFI). To this Point everything worked just as i saw it in the tutorials that i watched. But when i selected that option my screen changed to black and a small white bar appeard at the top left of my screen. I waited 15 to 20 minutes but nothing changed. In the tutorials that i watched, right after selecting the option, the console would print out lines with the Green Word 'OK' and they were able to begin the installation. That never happend to me. I repeated burning the ISO file, with rufus, onto my USB. And did the steps all over again but still nothing changed. I very much expected to run into problems while installing arch. But i did not expect them to happen so soon. I am a bit frustrated.

Is something wrong with my USB, should i buy another one? Should i wait longer after selecting the Install Medium in GNU GRUB? Is my Hardware or Laptop incompatible with Arch Linux? Is there something i can do to fix this?

PS: I am new to Arch Linux and Linux in General. So excuse me If im not good with the terminology. And sorry if my english is not understandable.

My audio DAC has simple documentaton that recommends using native ALSA over pulseaudio for maximum performance and I currently use pipewire-pulse. Since pipewire-{pulse,ALSA,jack} are just APIs and it's all Pipewire under-the-hood, can one just install all pipewire-{pulse,ALSA,jack} packages and applications that can only use a subset of these simply work with no additional configuration? Do you still refer to Pulseaudio documentation/setup or Pipewire?

Is Pipewire under-the-hood suppose to be more performant than Pulseaudio? And Jack is supposed to be for "pro audio"--does that include users who use a DAC along with expensive headphones for listening to music at higher fidelity or is pipewire-jack only recommended if you're e.g. a sound engineer?

Honestly the Arch Wiki for setting up sound seems to have a lot of overlapping information and I haven't been able to make more of it other than simply "install pipewire-pulse, works out of the box". I just want to make sure my hardware is taken advantage of.

Just going to go straight to the deal: BIOS telling me that my RAM speed is 2133 MT/s (which apparently is equal to like 1066.5 or 2133 MHz depending on your tipe of RAM), some programs agree with this, some say that I have 2133 MHz of speed. Now the thing is, when I bought this sticks of RAM they were (and are still) advertised as 3200 MHz, have I been scamed or is there an error with arch linux measuring RAM speeds?

This started happening about a week ago when I upgraded all my packages on arch/laptop. It's an HP Envy laptop if that helps at all. Laptop crashes with this error message and I have to force reboot.

I did a fresh install of arch linux (kde and plasma wayland) and now the laptop has been freezing randomly. Mousepad and keyboard becomes unresponsive and only a hard reboot works. Has happened quite a few times and usually once a day. Below is a snippet of the system log. Noticed at the end the Kernel bug. Dont know what that means or how I can solve the issue.

​

I am using openvpn and noticed that I was having a DNS leak. So I followed this Arch wiki page and installed vpnfailsafe. The package successfully updated the /etc/resolv,conf and fixed the leak but, at the following reboot, the file was overwritten, looking exactly as before.

By the way am not using NetworkManager or dhcpd, but just dhclient and wpa_supplicant.

I searched for solutions and found a few ones, the most elegant one being an enter hook script:

echo 'make_resolv_conf() { :; }' > /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/leave_my_resolv_conf_alone
chmod 755 /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/leave_my_resolv_conf_alone

Apart from the fact that I didn't have a dhclient-enter-hooks.d folder and I had to create it, this solution worked, weirdly, only after ONE reboot. Also, I don't even know if it's suitable for Arch.

The only effective option was the extreme and, possibly, even harmful one, that is making the file immutable:

chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

Any suggestion for a clean workaround? TIA

As the title says, have been trying to fix this issue for the last two days. Have now had to re-image same USB device more times than I’d like to admit because I don’t know how to fix this.

Initially, I thought it was an issue with nvidia drivers; as I have an NVIDIA 4070 & Intel Integrated GPU (not sure of model). However after going through logs etc and trial and error, I no longer think the issue is with the nvidia drivers (although would not surprise me).

Currently im using two external monitors, and basically my issue has been once I restart libvirtd.service etc, then reboot the laptop the primary display will not get detected by xrandr. However, it WILL show on the second display. Usually, after rebooting once again it will completely break then I have no choice but to re-install. Sometimes im not even able to get to a TTY before it just shuts the bed completely.

How do I go about this? What could the issue be here?

Im currently using SolDoesTech’s HyprV4 hyprland configuration with sddm, kitty, thunar, waybar, starship etc. I setup the monitors in hyprland.conf

Before installing the KVM, everything works perfectly fine, even after multiple reboots. How do I troubleshoot this? What could be causing this? Is there more I could do to look into the Nvidia driver issues?

How can I better pin point what is going wrong? I first need to discern whether it’s the drivers or something to do with virt-manager + dependencies.

For reference here are links with things I have tried so far with bo success:

• https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285474
• https://superuser.com/questions/1812576/xrandr-does-not-see-hdmi-monitor-on-laptop-arch-linux
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Troubleshooting

I wasn’t able to find much that was directly indicative of any direct issues within kernel log/journal etc. Although I could absolutely be misunderstandin/brushing over something.

Thanks in advance for any help, I am relatively inexperienced with Arch although I have a lot of experience with Linux in general.

Thanks in advance for any help

Trying to build cosmic from AUR on a laptop that i have for testing stuff. Not the most powerful laptop, keep that in mind and i know these things take a long time, but just how long approximately?

The laptop has some Intel dual core processor with 4Gb RAM, and Intel integrated graphics, not sure what exactly.

Currently, it says "building 615-616: cosmic-comp (bin)".
I tried the same yesterday, and it also got stuck on this line, but i had plasma open and their terminal, and the whole system was unresponsive. So i cancelled it. Took a while before i could move a mouse lol. Now i tried the same thing from a TTY without loading a DE at all, and it's still stuck here.

It's been like this for hours. I don't know if it's permanently stuck, or should i just wait?

Title says it all. Don’t know why it crashed. Upon rebooting, I’m simply left with this message

Going into tty and typing any pacman command displays:

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libarchive.so.13: file too short

Not really sure what to do at this point, would appreciate any insights

So i updated nvidia drivers, and now my system booting into tty, not the GUI. Well, gnome is working alright if i start gdm manually. I tried to enable gdm.service, and rebuild packages but it is not starting automatically after booting anyways
