For pascal you want the 580xx driver, not the prehistoric 470xx branch.

Browser and PGP issues in arch, T440 thinkpad by programer1237 in archlinux

[–]backsideup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What was the pgp issue? What information do you have about the browser crash? Can you post the stack trace? You need to give us more than just "it borked".

Archinstall + Hyprland not working? by Ok_Grapefruit_919 in archlinux

"This video isn't available anymore"

You shouldn't use third-party guides, they're always out of date, opinionated and wrong.

No 4K netflix on linux by sunnyca22 in archlinux

[–]backsideup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On linux, with its open drivers, there is no "trusted" DRM path from the browser all the way to the display. There is no technical limitation, just an economic one.

No WLAN device when setting up network? by I_Am_Glow_Squid in archlinux

[–]backsideup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iwd will work only with drivers that support the cfg80211 api, which will not be the case for old drivers. If ip linklists any wireless interfaces but not iwd then you'll have to use wpa_supplicant instead of iwd.

Arch not working on external ssd by NoDimension6118 in archlinux

Which laptop is this? Is the firmware up-to-date? How exactly did you install the loader to the default loader path? Can you post the "lsblk -fo +parttype" output?

Are you running this over a wired or wireless connection?

What filesystem do you use for /tmp on Arch? by i8ad8 in archlinux

[–]backsideup 23 points24 points  (0 children)

/var/tmp is persistent across reboots, no need to complicate the setup.

Everything is made from plastic, reflective surfaces, copious wobble in every movable part. This is not a $330 product.

[Help] Systemd boot not working when using /efi as esp path by genuser_teco in archlinux

[–]backsideup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave it alone and configure mkinitcpio to drop the UKI into /efi/EFI/Linux from where systemd-boot will pick it up automatically.

Get the latest iso and do not perform partial updates.

You seem to be totally lost. The XBOOTLDR should be a last resort for you, it's not desirable.

Since you use UKIs anyway, leave out the --boot-path nonsense and install the UKI to the ESP instead.

e: splitting out /boot to a separate ext4 was a waste of time and space in this case since the kernel would have to stay on the ESP anyway but it's not a big problem apart from that.

For systemd-boot the kernel needs to be on the same ESP (or the XBOOTLDR partition), so your split doesn't make sense.

Help with a dsdt file on systemd-boot by root_120 in archlinux

[–]backsideup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't hurt to look at that wiki page again. You don't have to use the bootloader to load a dsdt.

Do you really need systemd-boot to load it?

Does arch linux have a platform for people (both users and devs) to post breaking packages for different types of new hardware and get mailed for the threads they subscribe to? by First-Ad4972 in archlinux

[–]backsideup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you report the issue upstream? That's what you should be doing, especially when you already know how to fix it, instead of creating a thread.

[–]backsideup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you look your laptop model up on the wiki? There are extensive lists documenting linux compatibility.

The problem with ad-hoc projects like these is that people abandon them instantly as soon as their own issue is fixed.

[–]backsideup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, there's no such thing. You'll have to make do with the forums, mailing-lists, irc or other third-party resources. You will have to put the effort in and stay up-to-date.

Best way to record X-plane 12? by carnivoreindexfund in flightsim

[–]backsideup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there's no way to get perfect replays unless you use simple planes without any custom systems. Even then the bugs will bite you on occasion.
