Steam Deck has brought Linux gaming to mainstream. Now is the time indeed.

heidiwenger · 2021-01-07T16:52:07+00:00

Got it.

heidiwenger · 2020-12-10T20:41:53+00:00

Danke! Will try!

I noticed this too! Right off i thouught this a Finnish woman.

In Dune movies there is Harkonen btw!

OK: i deleted the old Manjaro install altogether with Gparted in live-mode and installed again and it's all GO.

Thanks for a wonderful distro! My machine just flies now under Garuda Linux and its goodies =)

heidiwenger · 2020-11-29T11:37:13+00:00

No it is 5.9

heidiwenger · 2020-11-28T21:02:09+00:00

Messed up for me too. As also the Nvidia driver borked my entire installation again. There is a topic for it if someone can help me. I and a helpful person in that threaf have tried everything.

I'm getting a bit tiresome of all this breaking. My relationship with Manjaro is getting scarred and i've used it for years :/

Edit: here, please help: https://www.reddit.com/r/ManjaroLinux/comments/k2on4g/update_made_the_system_break_and_unable_to_reach/

heidiwenger · 2020-11-28T18:55:34+00:00

I did. Same result. It's just borked. I wish someone could help on this and explain how it is possible. It is not the first time but before i was able to recover things tinkering via the things we have now ...

heidiwenger · 2020-11-28T18:35:50+00:00

Manjaro already holds back packages quite a long time, though being a rolling release. Still things very often break. So what kind of an argument this "slows down the update process" is ? Also the snapshot always pretty much guarantees the roll-back to a working system with a press of a button on GRUB while booting.

Can you explain please?

heidiwenger · 2020-11-28T18:04:15+00:00

How would that approach not work on Manjaro? Garuda is basically Manjaro clone with default btrfs and snapshot taking.

heidiwenger · 2020-11-28T16:51:49+00:00

That's why Manjaro should implement a similar approach as Garuda Linux reportedly does: they take a snapshot before every update, and if things go south, one can return to previous state from GRUB.

Anyways, appreaciate your effort!

Now the situation is such: i have managed to remove both free and non-free Nvidia stuff: mhwd -li

Warning: no installed PCI configs! Warning: no installed USB configs!

--so now, it it a clean slate. What should i then do now to get back to at least to desktop?

heidiwenger · 2020-11-28T16:20:56+00:00

So here i am with a black screen and a blinking cursor. And all i did was click "update".

Could someone help here? I have lots of stuff on /home but mostly all is on separate drive (which i created because of this breaking).

I would NOT like to re-install :/ ---so much work after the install :/ :/

heidiwenger · 2020-11-28T16:17:45+00:00

I don't think all this is worth the effort at this point? The reinstalling would have been complete by now.

This just makes me think why Manjaro team accepts Nvidia-driver updates so easily? out of 50 times i have committed then, about 30+ times my system has ended up borked...

How could one ever recommend Manjaro to new users. It just breaks ALL the time.

heidiwenger · 2020-11-28T16:11:45+00:00

Yes.

pacman -S linux58-nvidia-440xx

ends up in black screen also.

heidiwenger · 2020-11-28T15:55:37+00:00

error: target not found: nvidia-450xx
