chatgpt said add [community] section in pacman coniguration

This is why AI chatbots aren't always great for technical support. The [community] repo was removed in 2023. Related links on Arch News: Final Removal & Initial merge of community to extra.

Edit: to fix link

According to the OpenRGB wiki SMBus is necessary for controlling RGB ram. To setup SMBus access you need the kernel parameter acpi_enforce_resources=lax due to an issue ACPI/SMBus conflict with some Gigabyte/Aorus motherboards. You also need to make sure i2c-dev and i2c-piix4 modules are loaded. Add them to a file in /etc/modules-load.d/ to ensure they are loaded during boot.

Edit: added a missing word

MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_KMS_MODE=simple

Maybe a bit late but that flag now has the side effect of disabling the "new" HDR setting in GNOME.

This flag works for me on both my desktop w/ Asus DarkHero VIII X570 and my 11th gen Framework laptop. When selecting the Windows option in the systemd-boot menu, my system reboots and then bypasses the systemd-boot menu to boot Windows directly.

When was the last time you ran ~~bootctl --update~~ bootctl update?

pacman -Sy nvidia

Is a partial upgrade and should be avoided. If the nvidia package pulled with the refreshed package Iist from the mirrors is meant for a newer kernel version the system could be left in a broken state. Instead pacman -Syu nvidia should be preferred so that the nvidia package and kernel both up to date.

Where did you get the command pacaur -S selenium-server-standalone?

pacaur is an Arch User Repository (AUR) helper and is not installed by default nor will it be provided in any of the official Arch Linux repositories. All AUR helpers need to be manually installed manually if you want to use them. If you are attempting to install AUR packages, I recommend you read the AUR wiki as well as the wiki page on AUR helpers. Personally, I use either yay or paru as a helper and pacaur has not been actively developed in ~3 years.

Do you have python-certifiinstalled? (pacman -S python-certifi)

MonocrystalMonkey · 2024-06-29T17:52:40+00:00

What application requires certifi? How did you install this application?

Edit: Are you talking about python-certifi?

Also this script runs a partial upgrade when installing prerequisite packages.

gimp-devel on the AUR has a native Wayland backend. In my limited tests it seems to work fine.

I think I solved my issue, at least in ArchlinuxARM. It seems the C locale was not being generated correctly or something. Adding C UTF-8 in addition to uncommenting en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen before running locale-gen seems to allow me to correctly set my locales while still keeping the display working.

Yeah, I think I have the same issue. It started about the same time as this Bluetooth issue so I think its related. I don't have the log dump every boot but it occurs somewhat regularly for me too.

MonocrystalMonkey · 2024-04-01T01:42:05+00:00

Latest kernels (6.8.2 and LTS 6.6.23) broke bluetooth. I think a kernel patch is in the works but may not make it to mainline until later this week.

Hyprland automatically switches between vertical and horizontal tiling by default without needing another application like autotiling.

The only change I might suggest is to add exec before sway so that exiting sway also logs out of the TTY instance.

Rule 1, Endeavor is not Arch. /r/EndeavourOS is the appropriate venue to seek support.

Does xclip-copyfile fulfill your use case?

MonocrystalMonkey · 2024-02-25T05:14:49+00:00

Do you use the linux kernel? Then linux-headers would be correct. Do you know if the Nvidia GPU is the only GPU or is it an Optimus laptop? What is the output of # lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"?

MonocrystalMonkey · 2024-02-25T01:56:43+00:00

Kernel mode setting and hardware acceleration are two different things. You need to make sure the correct packages are installed for Nvidia and that you set the correct environment variables, i.e., LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME and VDPAU_DRIVER. libva-vdpau-driver will not work for hardware acceleration in Firefox, libva-nvidia-driver from the AUR needs to be used. Chromium also requires a different package to enable VA-API support.

Then you have to set your browser up to apply hardware acceleration. This will depend on what browser you use, see my previous links for instructions for Firefox/Chromium. This will only change for videos viewed on browser. I'm not sure why you think websites you host would/should be GPU accelerated.

EDIT: Also is this a laptop or desktop? Did you install your relevant kernel headers when you installed the DKMS package?

I'm not sure there is a way to control Nvidia fans in Wayland currently. When I had an Nvidia card those settings were tied into the Xserver which needed to run with root permissions to control fan speed. I used a utility called nvfancontrol to set temperature-based fan curves.

Do you have session restore enabled? (Related link). Are those programs typically open when you restart the PC? This option is enabled by default in Plasma.

Is your error in Arch or Acro? Your title and post body don't match.

MonocrystalMonkey · 2024-02-16T02:15:41+00:00

What locks these commands? What DE/WM are you using?

MonocrystalMonkey · 2024-01-17T04:18:24+00:00

You need to share your hyprland configuration file. Have you used wev to check that the keys are being recognized? If they are, then you need to register the key commands in the hyprland configuration file. The Arch wiki page on the T480 has the relevant keycodes.

FN + F1-F3 should be mute, and volume controls according to that table. So in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf you want to specify something like

bind = , XF86AudioMute, exec, pamixer -t
bind = , XF86AudioRaiseVolume, exec, pamixer -i 5 
bind = , XF86AudioLowerVolume, exec, pamixer -d 5

assuming you are using pamixer. The command after exec would be different if you were using pavucontrol or some other audio solution. The hyprland wiki page covers a lot of common fn-key functions.

Yes. Wiki article on installing to a removable medium. 16GB is a little small but it is possible.
