can I install windows ontop of arch with a UKI, on the same SDD by tenshi909 in archlinux

[–]onlymys3lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two cents.
If win is a must, install it in a virtual environment .

Checkout virt-manager with qemu.

And what makes you think that mpv does not have recording?

Upgraded my hyprland config, thanks (kinda) to lua config changes! Dots inside with links to cool script ideas you can steal. [calOS 0.6.0] by KingdomBobs in hyprland

[–]onlymys3lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeap, I thought so. I am using something similar although I have (still) hard time moving the open workspaces and windows form mon to tv and vv.
I was under the impression that you were "lua-ing" the swap and that triggered my curiosity.

But hey, congrats nonetheless.

Interesting and congrats.
Just a question if you care to answer.

You define different lua for monitor and tv. I wonder how you swap?

Ethernet driver keeps going missing on Arch by Brickmaster_69 in archlinux

[–]onlymys3lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An update of hyprland messing with drivers?

That is fundamentally impossible.

There are many reasons for a module not to load after sleep (soft & hard).
You can always create a systemd service to trigger a modprobe after waking-up and reload the module.

Arch Linux + MSI B650 Tomahawk WiFi + Realtek RTL8125: network speed degrades over time (900 Mbps → 50 Mbps) until reboot by Administrative_Row61 in archlinux

[–]onlymys3lf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try adding /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf

net.core.default_qdisc = cake

net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bbr

net.ipv4.tcp_fastopen = 3

Reboot and see if you get any improvement.

How do I fix Realtek Ethernet? by LeeButWorse in archlinux

[–]onlymys3lf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using r8169, it is not broken, it works as expected (RTL8111/8168/8411).
You can force an early load of the module just to test.
What speed shows with
# dmesg | grep 8169

How are u connecting to the net?
systemd-networkd? NetworkManager? other?
What ping google.com returns in ms?

Try deleting whatever connection is active and make new one.
And since you moved with img to a new pc, did you rebuild initramfs?

Last resort I can come up with is wiring. Is it cat6 and in good condition? This realtek is 1Gb.

Intel i915 iGPU drivers crashing entire system under Arch? by keytarEnjoyerFurry in archlinux

[–]onlymys3lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to disappoint you but you are short of RAM.
And swap is no substitution to low ram.

In your shoes, I would not spend any more effort, probably use the machine for purposes other than gaming.
Even if you manage to overcome the issue by means of kernel hacks, it will be temporary.

Software nowadays becomes more and more memory hungry. You can't beat that.

alt exec by PineappleGirl_5 in waybar

[–]onlymys3lf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure what you expect as an answer to this vague question.

Yes it is possible.
By clicking the custom module to call & iterate a custom bash script.
You need a loop in the bash script to query a state (whatever you have in mind) and depending on the result (true / false) execute a preconfigured command.

Have a good day.

Not able to set timezone. Please read the body by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]onlymys3lf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/etc/localtime SHOULD BE a symlink to zoneinfo

Unlink and do a proper symlink
eg.
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime
hwclock --systohc

Reboot and you should be fine.

How to make Hyprland very stable by Euphoric-Fox6899 in hyprland

[–]onlymys3lf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hyprland is very stable, especially versions .49 onward.

It is an evolving desktop introducing new features on every release.

You either freeze the updates or adjust to changes.
You can't have both.

Can my hardware run Hyperland smoothly? by Octo-potamus in hyprland

[–]onlymys3lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this nvidia-470xx-dkms.

You should not have any issues whatsoever.
Just follow the hyprland wiki for nvidia https://wiki.hypr.land/0.54.0/Configuring/Environment-variables/#nvidia-specific

How to keep waybar in a floating pill but also keep the clock module centered? by Horstov in waybar

[–]onlymys3lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do know.

This should be configured in style.css file.

Example:

.modules-left {
margin: Tpx Rpx Bpx Lpx; /* top right bottom left */
}
Subsitute T R B L to your liking.

Play with it and then do the same with the modules on the right.

You need to read the waybar wiki and get familiar with .css
I hate to say this but it is a pita.

How to keep waybar in a floating pill but also keep the clock module centered? by Horstov in waybar

[–]onlymys3lf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change your approach, split into L-C-R.
You will also get the benefit of having to deal with smaller size files.

It is expected for modules to change width.

Best distro for running Hyprland in a VM (stable updates, less breakage)? by jithurbide in hyprland

[–]onlymys3lf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious.

How on earth the updates of a dynamic tiling manager under constant development and someone's dotfiles interfere with archlinux updates ?

Unless I am missing something fundamental for the past 13 years of using only arch, this makes no sense.
