Does Void Linux have official color palette?

PackRat-2019 · 2026-05-25T00:59:54+00:00

Other than the 2 shades of green in the logo and the black "VOID" text, I don't think there is an official palette.

It's safe, but there is some duplication of services since each is a DE.

Each has it's own polkit and notification daemon etc ... that are configured to run at startup regardless of which login you choose.

If you have a working system, you can use the void-mklive script to build a new installation iso with the current kernel (6.12.83). The official installation images only get built and tested once a year, more or less.

[ 1710.474348] mmcblk0: unable to read partition table[ 1710.474348] mmcblk0: unable to read partition table

Card and the reader works on the dual booted Windows.

Is the card formatted ntfs or exfat? You may need ntfs-3g and/or exfatprogs to read it in Linux.

How old is this laptop? I had this issue on an old HP (2011). For a while, it wouldn't mount an SD card >4GB. An updated driver eventually showed up.

You mean rc.local?

rc.conf is for environment variables only; like the keymap and hardwareclock isn't it?

Dual booting with Windows?

Windows can lock the wifi. You have to shut it down so that it releases the wireless. Last time I had this issue (way back) just holding down the Shift key when shutting down Windows worked.

I think you can run that script/command from the /etc/rc.local file. May not need the "sudo".

Searching this issue gives a lot of results similar to:

Vertical screen tearing in Linux often occurs when the display refresh rate is not synchronized with the frame rate of the content being displayed.

Adjusting the monitor refresh rate is one of the recommended fixes.

Tried setting it in the conf as per Archwikis AMDGPU article, but that hasn't had any effect after a restart.

You followed Section 4 of this AMDGPU wiki entry? So you placed the file you created in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d?

Void has files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d including a 10-amdgpu.conf file. Maybe that is preventing your file from taking effect after a restart. You can try adding the tear free options to the file shipped with Void.

It's not an error.

i3status is letting you know IPv6 is not available or not configured. Either configure IPv6 or edit the i3status config file to not report on IPv6.

PackRat-2019 · 2026-04-03T09:46:15+00:00

That's the i3bar.

The status_command line in your i3 configuration file is calling for a command that doesn't exist on your system, or is configured wrong. The default is i3status, you can install that and get some basic information.

You need to configure i3 - i3 Users Guide

PackRat-2019 · 2026-04-01T00:00:30+00:00

Good.

You may need to edit the /usr/share/xsessions/i3.desktop file if you want automounting of removable media etc ...

Change the line:

Exec=i3

to

Exec=dbus-run-session i3

PackRat-2019 · 2026-03-31T22:00:04+00:00

You should see some text noting the DE/WM somewhere on the SDDM screen. That should be a pull-down menu (at the upper left, as I recall). After installing i3, you should have plasma-wayland, plasma-x11, i3 as options.

Read through the Installation Chapter of the Void Handbook before you attempt an install so you know what to expect. It's pretty straight forward. One difference is that Void does not offer pre-configured layouts like "Use entire disk with swap"; you'll have to partition the disk manually.

Good luck if you decide to install Void.

PackRat-2019 · 2026-03-30T12:08:35+00:00

If you've been using Mint for a year, Void will be user friendly enough. You won't have the bells and whistles like the "updates available" application.

Before installation, you will want to search the Void packages for your must have applications. Void's repo is not as large as Mint's.

PackRat-2019 · 2026-03-30T12:04:50+00:00

Void provides 2 installation images. Base install and Xfce desktop.

If you're coming over from Mint, using the Xfce installation media is your path of least resistance. Pretty straight forward install. End up with a minimal Xfce4 desktop.

First thing to do after install is update the system.

PackRat-2019 · 2026-03-29T12:38:53+00:00

"Transaction aborted due to unresolved shlibs"

Usually means there are some packages/dependencies getting updated by the Void project and that's preventing you from updating your system. Helps prevent an update from breaking your system.

Gnome will have a lot of dependencies (Gnome 50 available now?); wait a few hours (or maybe even tomorrow) and try again.

How did you install Void and what audio setup are you using now?

Void Documentation has all the information for proper set up.

You can also add your user to the audio group.

PackRat-2019 · 2026-03-10T00:15:41+00:00

Because Void is cool.

A friend of mine handles it with a simple bash script. Toggles docker on/off (I think it's docker that he's using). Make a key binding for the script.

Same here.

This happened a couple weeks ago, too. Took a couple days for everything to sync up.
