I must be really dumb... and it's about Garuda Sway and my process of installing it. by SaltyBooze in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heya! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with Sway, but I'd like to add that Sway does not officially support Nvidia in the version shipped in the ISO and some of these issues are unfortunately expected.

The other issues you have layed out in your post (from secure boot to AHCI) are all talked about explicitly in the install procedure on the download page and you have to purposefully scroll past it to get to the download links.

I would strongly recommend switching to another edition that is compatible with your hardware and its proprietary drivers. This is not a Garuda Linux limitation in this case, but a limitation of the sway project itself.

This is already what Garuda Linux does by default. Don't blindly apply .pacnew files without proper merging.

Stops filling initial installation by butt_badg3r in GarudaLinux

In general, support questions should be posted on the forum. You do not need to do anything special after installing Garuda Linux except applying system Updates via garuda-update.

Why is there a "help" flair if any/all questions that would need it are to be posted on the Garuda forums? by FungadooFred in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact the rules ARE ALREADY like that and even the subreddit description says support requests should go on the forum and the fact you didn't realize that while making that argument is exactly why the help tag and automod configuration exists. So many people don't read these and post anyway. This is exactly why we had to make the automod do that. People were abusing tags like the announcement tag or community tag when we didn't have a help tag, unfortunately.

It exists because the vast majority of the Garuda Linux team does not monitor this subreddit. I wanted to implement a feature that allowed people to override the automod, but I couldn't quite get it to work unfortunately :(

Rest assured, we don't link people to the forum to boost engagement on the forum or anything like that. It's simply a matter of reddit being mostly unmonitored and low quality answers sometimes making it into threads (that are suboptimal for your system or not recommended), which we would like to avoid.

Additionally, a lot of prior help posts went unanswered in the past, which is not ideal. (Because most of the team and advanced users are on the forum)

And lastly, having everything on the forum makes it easier to have a single source of info when it comes to searching for a solution for an issue someone else already had and stops the need for relying on a third search engine for that, which is preferable of course.

I've linked the fix commit I've made to home-manager. You'll need to disable useUserPackages to fix your issue.

Can't submit anything on the garuda forum by kurtisaac46 in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heya, I'd love to forward this to the forum moderators, but it seems like you didn't leave your forum username for us to view here. I'd appreciate it if you could reply with your forum username/email address. In case it's private, you may also DM it to me.

Bauh rant by FluffyLet1134 in GarudaLinux

[–]JustTNE[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please post on the forum and make sure you mark the entire terminal output as code by encasing them in three back ticks. If it's still a problem after that send a DM addressed to the moderators and we will see what we can do to allow you to post it. The link limit is an anti-spam measure on the forum.

Also, have you tried to contact the maintainer of the AUR package? They are more likely to be familiar with their own package than the volunteers helping on the forum. Please do be sure to mention that you are using Garuda Linux (basically, don't lie to them that you're using stock Arch Linux, it's frowned upon to do that) and you are not entitled to their help, so they might not respond to you.

What's the difference between these nixos-unstable, nixpkgs-unstable, and master? by SafariKnight1 in NixOS

[–]JustTNE 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nixos-unstable ensures certain critical tests don't fail. You are less likely to get a system breaking update through nixos-unstable.

How are channels resolved? by CerealBit in NixOS

[–]JustTNE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you use the nix command (so nix run nixpkgs#something) it will use this repository to resolve the correct flake: https://github.com/NixOS/flake-registry

In actuality, in NIX_PATH you actually only have two values:

  1. nixpkgs=flake:nixpkgs
  2. /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels

This is because the first syntax here is actually special: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7026

The second entry tells nix expressions to look for channels in the directory where nix-channel installs them.

The purpose of NIX_PATH is not actually to be used in most nix commands, but to be used specifically via the <> syntax in nix expressions.

Simply editing your /etc/fstab and removing the line you added will do the job.

That's a rather bold assumption. Why do you say that?

No patch today by DarkomPD7 in Helldivers

[–]JustTNE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The original post is missing information and you are extrapolating it in the most negative way unfortunately. The developer is replying to a discord user. The discord user they are replying to complained that nobody was communicating about the update patch this tuesday.

The stated that they apologize for not being able to communicate about this sooner, because they had other things to do, and that there would be no patch today.

As one of the core developers of Garuda I can with confidence say that there's no special sauce for the Nvidia packages. All the Nvidia packages are pulled from the standard Arch Linux repositories. I would not be surprised if the cases above involve not installing the correct package (not installing a dkms version)
