• Turn Secure Boot off and reboot the system multiple times
• Starting linux in save/fallback mode

I am open to any ideas.. have a nice day and thx in advance for helping :]

Hello i want to download arcolinux but there’s 404 page comes to me pls help

Hello everyone!

As GNU Linux user since 2007 and serial distrohopper I am always curious about new paradigms, tweaks, desktops and ways of doing things.

I am pretty comfortable adopting any GNU Linux distribution to my needs, but prefer Arch-based for simplicity. But why Arco? Why just don't use Endeavouros, Garuda, CachyOS or something trendy?

1. It is a cure against distrohopping. ArcoLinux Tweak Tool allows to install dozens of nicely tweaked and configured desktop environments, enable different distro's repos and do a lot of tweaking and tuning. Instead of trying different distro, you can focus on just one, which can be transformed to anything.

2. Configs. Most of DEs comes with tons of modified and opinionated config files. I disagree with many of proposed tweaks and changes... But I can learn a LOT just reading this sophisticated configs. Want to try, Hyprland? You have starting point. A lot of commented examples, a lot of hotkey ideas. Nice initial point to start your own config without even googling.

3. "Journey" paradigm. Proposed learning steps, pleasant to any distrohopper. I am enjoying watching videos, merging desktops and creating my own iso

4. You can add Arco repo to any existing Arch-based installation and make it Arco. One of my machines is CachyOS transformed to Arco.

5. Everything-included ArcoNet iso. One iso to rule them all. Instead of having dozen images on my ventoy usb, it is enough to have much fewer. With ArcoNet I can install Gnome for my children, Cinammon for my father, Plasma for my wife, Xfce4+i3 for mtself. I can install several desktops at once, just during the installation step. Of course, I can do the same with Endeavouros, but Arco has more options and more sophisticated configs.

And why do you love and use Arco?

Hello, I have a small problem with the installation of Arco Linux. The online installation runs until about 60% and then nothing works. The offline installation works but I can't update it because there seem to be some problems with the packages that can't be installed.

KDE Settings GUI not showing "Recording Devices" returned by arecord -l

I'm running ArcoLinux Plasma build with Pipewire audio. The settings GUI shows "Family 17h/19h HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo" under "Playback Devices" but nothing under "Recording Devices". When I plug in a USB-C audio dongle, that does show up. What more can I include to help diagnose this?

I gave more info in my post to the hardware vendor's reddit.

Playing steam terraria, wasd not working in terraria and other games but i can type wasd and play minecraft Happened to me after i opened Firefox and didn't closed terraria This also happened in fedora(gnome xorg) and archcraft (openbox)

I've just downloaded arconet-v24.07.01-x86_64.iso booted it - it goes to a command line and no desktop. "can't access tty: job control turned off".

I am using Ventoy and I have a feeling that may be the issue.

Edit: Yes it was - had to grub2 mode.

Hello, I have installed arcolinux on my laptop. I'm using xfce for the window manager. I tried to change some settings like the touchpad scroll direction or the display resolution. But 1) it doesn't apply and 2) when I reboot or juste close the setting window it's not save.

For the display I can change the resolution with xrandr but it's also not saved.

Can anyone help me ?

(I talk about ARCO LINUX, but I am Creating an ARCH LINUX script, and have the same issues. So Arch Problem.) Got Kicked out of the ArchLinux thread and pointed to this instead..

#### ARCONET / ARCO LINUX TALK

I installed XFCE & DWM through the ArcoNet ISO (ArcoLinux.com) and a bunch of applications, but I can't seem to figure out what's missing when it comes to the network, if I open nautilus or thunar, I see "Network", but it doesn't detect the 'NAS' or it's shares. Every other GNU/Linux distro I have installed have had it working out of the box. So I wonder what the problem is, what is it that I have forgotten to install? This is my third day trying to figure this out, I don't really want to go back to Windows, and I'm about to write an install script that installs basic functionality, and the applications that I usually use, I have samba up and running too.

#### ARCH LINUX SCRIPT TALK

I have been running a Arch VM, where I use the "archinstall", and skip installing a DE, instead I'm trying to just have that change the basics, and I then install the packages needed, through my script.

I made multiple package lists that are run over the course of the install, this way I can easily add applications or skip whenever I need, there's possibly a multitude of duplicates though. I have no Idea. "/ 
https://github.com/Querzion/bash.dwm-arch.startup/blob/main/files/pacman-list.txt
https://github.com/Querzion/bash.dwm-arch.startup/blob/main/files/flatpak-list.txt
https://github.com/Querzion/bash.dwm-arch.startup/blob/main/files/aur-list.txt

I also made a samba/network share install script, and with that everything 'works'.
https://github.com/Querzion/bash.dwm-arch.startup/blob/main/files/scripts/samba/install.samba.sh

In the "archinstall" script I set everything up properly, except for encryption and profile(DE). Network Manager is used. I haven't added a login manager to the script yet, don't know if I want to use SLiM, sddm or Lightdm, but that's mostly because I want to have console access before the 'startx' command is bashed in. When the script is done' that's the one I'm going to use in the future.

#### TEST IT OUT

If you want to, you can test the install script in a virtual machine with Arch,
and help me figure out why the network isn't working properly.

every time I try to change my refresh rate, it ends up never changing the refresh rate, Ive tried this on both of my monitors but it just never changes even after I apply, help would be appreciated very much.

I just did an ArcoPro install on a brand new system and selected what I wanted installed but it looks like it installed EVERYTHING.

For instance, I was only expecting LibreOffice in the Office section of the menu but it's got a TON of stuff in there. I see LibreOffice in there but I also see some reader in there, along with a few PDF utilities... I installed KDE Plasma as one of my Desktop Environments. It probably came with that. I'm seeing a lot of "K" stuff in there now that I look.

But under Games, I selected zero games but it looks like I got all of those.

I've got plenty of drive space but... Yeah... I really didn't need all of those games. I'll remove them later.

So this happened and to my understanding this is cause because there was some problem while updating I use Arco and I think the solution to that problem is chroot(or something like that) but I don't know how to do that so any artical help suggestion or a different way to solve this problem will be very helpful

And any suggestion on how to prevent this from happening will be great

I have a Brother DCP-L2550DW connected to my laptop by USB. The printer works fine in ArcoLinux but the scanner does not work. Each time I try to use it I get the error message that it needs driver files. I have installed SANE and the Brother files from the AUR using yay. Still not working. Help, please. Thanks.

I'm kind of in a hopeless situation.

I love using arch and material shell with Gnome (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3357/material-shell/).

Material shell requires gnome-shell to be <= 44.

But every Arch distro I use comes with gnome-shell >= 46.

Is there any arch distro out there that comes with gnome-shell <= 44?

ArcoLinux might be my final distro, after my hectic distro hopping. I thought EndeavourOS was my final distro. Until I installed Arco on my laptop as a VM and wow. All the ArcoLinux tweaks and enhancements. Wow

Hey!
Im still a noob so bare with me pls,

I have tried to install endeavouros, arcoplasma and garuda. All with plasma6 on my legion y540.

In all of them i could not install online because on NetworkManager didn't appear to be avaiable a wifi connection.

Tried PopOS live usb and wifi worked just fine.

any tips ?

if i connect a ethernet cable to install or just install offline will i be able to connect to wifi after instalation ?

As the title says, ArcoNet installed Zen onto my new PC. I don't remember selecting that option when I installed it. But I would like to uninstall it (I do have the regular kernel installed as well) or make it not the default startup kernel. Now I have to select the kernel I want to use at boot up.

So, I may have heard some things about the Zen Kernel that aren't too good for casual PC users. The machine I'm talking about is for streaming purposes. So I don't think I really need a fancy Zen kernel to do streaming. Could this be what's causing some of my issues?

My main issue is OBS crashes regularly. It ran fine on my 8 year old PC with the same software installed on it (ArcoLinux with Cinnamon Desktop). Ran beautifully in fact. But that computer is now slowly dying and I needed a new one anyway. So I put together this new PC.

It's an i7-11700K LGA 1200 Intel CPU on an ASUS Prime H510M-K Intel Motherboard. I've got a 2TB Silicon Power NVMe M.2 2280 drive in it (that was pretty new to me. Pretty cool that all of my data in that much smaller SSD than what I'm used to). Anyway, it's also got a ASRock Radeon RX 6600 8GB PCI Express video card in it and finally 64GB of RAM.

So it's a pretty peppy machine. After I select the kernel I want, it's up and running within about 2-3 seconds. VERY PEPPY INDEED! I'm LOVING this new computer!

I've actually shut it down for a bit. It gets hot in that room with 2 monitors and a 65" TV going along with a PC and a human body in there as well. I'm hoping to find out if I can just painlessly uninstall the Zen kernel or just change the boot order. I can't do that in CMOS. There's got to be a boot file where I can go in and just change the order or select the one I want to default boot into. I mean, I can leave Zen on there, I probably will never use it but if I can trash it easily without hurting anything else, I'll do that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, just installed acro for the first time on an old thinkpad I picked up, and chose i3wm. I am fairly new to i3, but know the basics. But am finding that in the arco install, the usual commands to switch between layouts mod + (s, w, e, h, v) aren't doing anything.

I checked the config file and those commands seem to be assigned as usual, so I am not sure what is going on or if there is some arco specific thing overriding them. I haven't changed the config from the default or tweaked anything else from how it was installed so far.

Using Arch.

So I have had this issue for a couple months now, but its time to deal with it. KDE session won't start, just goes back to session manager. When I try to launch plasmashell from cli, I get:

error loading shared libraries: libusbmuxd-2.0.so.6 cannot open shared object file. No such file/directory

I checked in /usr/lib and I see that I have ibusbmuxd-2.0.so.7.0.0 installed, but not ibusbmuxd-2.0.so.6

Any help on how can I fix this would be very greatly appreciated!

Found a 700+ GB file in ~/.cache

I was running a browser and a vm, and all of a sudden, everything errored out and started giving me storage alerts.

I checked my file browser (KDE and Filelight), and I found a file with a big name that was growing in size by the GB's

Here's an excerpt using ncdu:

ncdu 2.4 ~ Use the arrow keys to navigate, press ? for help
--- /home/<username>/.cache ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  727.9 GiB [########################]  tmpef8jp_a3_kW2Fvj6kL.epgrTfsRE7Vs_L1FetLLSyQ1psgMXucqGcORL46tJe...3QS27_NNVFetA1y9RKT6r3j5mSR_yaDwkqif4E630Z-3daih2Gic1D2NifeAa.y7Z
    3.8 GiB [                        ] /yay

This is not the first time this has happened, but the only time I remember this happening was a year or two ago.

Can someone help me figure out what is happening?

Would a system restart do the trick? Or can I safely delete/rm -rf the file? Due to the sudden bloat, all my browser's tabs and current sessions, VMs, and other applications had to be forcefully shut down and restarted.

I had to run bleachbit to even get the system to do something, and all cached progress was erased, despite me adding my browsers to an exception list. This has adversely affected my work, and is pretty scary in and of itself, and I would like to avoid such an issue in the future.

Does anyone have any suggestions, explanations, and/or thoughts on this?

Hey everyone, I’m new to arco Linux but I’m really enjoying it.

Can someone please send me an invite to the discord channel?

Also, I can’t get my generic wireless Bluetooth controllers to pair with arcolinux but they paired fine in Ubuntu.

Any recommendations on packages to install would be much appreciated.

I already used the shortcuts page in settings to make meta+W start a new window for "Files", which is what it calls Nautilus.

Anybody switch from systemd-boot to GRUB?

anyone know why and how to fix this little f12 lock key shutting down my whole computer on a misinput

​

some weeks ago the gnome-keyring recieved a update, breaking ssh-keypass-interactions in x11 and some days after repairing this on my side, its not possible anymore to enter a password to start 'sudo' progs - that window just doesnt appear anymore.
dont think that it broke because of these mentioned changes, since they're ssh-specific.
executing these command in a x11-terminal - for example sudo gparted, it asks for the password in the shell and spawns the Process.
so also mounting crypted-devices in nemo arent possible anymore, since the mount needs root.

any ideas?

Do any of you use DWM or ChaDWM?

What shortcut keys do you use to make a window the main one?

In the standard arcolinux configurations the key is removed because the Super + Return key is used to open a terminal

I configured my DWM to Super + w and it worked well but in chadwm it didn't work I think the combination may be being used in another program

I'm pretty happy so far, but the reason I installed it was for learning Arch in a fun way.. I don't see that happening: the website is very unclear and just a bunch of info and tutorials on random stuff: why can't I just find that on Arch? There are no real steps to follow and most seem to be about older versions or just not for the first steps. Am I missing a categorization tool on the site or some other simple way to see what to test and train for as a beginner and so on?

I do like the idea and the installation was fine.. It looks great, just don't know what to do with it... I've been using Mint or other debian based stuff and have tried arch for a month.

Hello, Just upgraded and pacman 6.1 has a nasty surprise. Since ArcoXL comes loaded with many helpers from the Arco repo i.e. yay-bin paru-bin pikaur-bin etc , the next time you run an update you will get an error:

warning: hardcode-fixer-git: local (1:r545.ba5d874-1) is newer than arcolinux_repo_3party (2.0-1)

resolving dependencies...

looking for conflicting packages...

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: installing pacman (6.1.0-3) breaks dependency 'libalpm.so=13-64' required by libpamac-aur

:: installing pacman (6.1.0-3) breaks dependency 'pacman<6.1' required by libpamac-aur

So after some tinkering, one might natrually ( or just me ) be inclined to remove the conflict. Upon doing so my discovery yielded a bunch of broken AUR helpers :(

Good news is, downloading yay from GIT and running a makepkg -si fixes the sad little AUR helpers so they can work with the new libalpm.so=14 :)

But I suspect this will require alot more maintenance which is why it is nice to have all of them built in the Arco repo. They just need some more time to get caught up for Pacman 6.1

Hope this helps and Cheers Arconauts.
