dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 5:19 PM

Once you've generated the grub config, reboot

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

I'm back

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 5:23 PM

#

Everything's working fine?

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 5:23 PM

#

Yeah seems like my os is still alive lol

#

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 5:26 PM

that entire page has a lot of good apps

#

if you have the time, you may wanna read through the table of contents (on the left side) and check if there's anything you might wanna install

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

thank you :3

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 5:47 PM

yw

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

Shouldn't she use nvidia-dkms for non LTS kernels?

#

Btw @tranquil cedar if you want any help setting up anything else/extra, definitely feel free to ping

#

I'm not sure if the others managed to get the AUR set up for you, which is usually a good idea to set up

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:33 PM

#

grand gull Btw <@927626039650320435> if you want any help setting up anything else/extra, d...

I would actually like help setting up my audio

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:33 PM

#

Oh yeah

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

grand gull Shouldn't she use `nvidia-dkms` for non LTS kernels?

um, why

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

grand gull I'm not sure if the others managed to get the AUR set up for you, which is usual...

its already set up

#

you just need base-devel to use it

#

and git ig

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

amber spire um, why

Doesn't that have trouble with updates

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

amber spire and git ig

I know, I meant "set up" in a more user friendly way, i.e. yay

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

grand gull Doesn't that have trouble with updates

what makes you think that

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

So how do I set up my audio and get audio connected to my headphones lmao

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

grand gull I know, I meant "set up" in a more user friendly way, i.e. yay

oh, i guess you could get that

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

tranquil cedar So how do I set up my audio and get audio connected to my headphones lmao

pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

amber spire what makes you think that

Mostly someone told me to do that on my install lol

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

then systemctl enable --user --now pipewire

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

grand gull Shouldn't she use `nvidia-dkms` for non LTS kernels?

nvidia-lts is for the LTS kernel

#

DKMS is for stuff like zen

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

dense tartan `nvidia-lts` is for the LTS kernel

non LTS

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

the message you sent implies nvidia is for LTS kernels

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

That's what I was told

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:39 PM

#

#

now what?

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

@amber spire do you know a pipewire alternative to pavucontrol?

rugged canyonBOT Jan 3, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

GlowStoneUnknown

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

hehe

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

grand gull <@494639504678977537> do you know a pipewire alternative to `pavucontrol`?

pavucontrol works on pipewire

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

so how would I type that for command?

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

what?

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

sudo pacman -S pavucontrol

small gust Jan 3, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

grand gull `sudo pacman -S pavucontrol`

yes

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

It stands for "PulseAudioVolUmeControl"

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

Then what?

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

idk how to launch apps in kde

small gust Jan 3, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

Should be it, just make sure your channels in alsa are unmuted

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

Try searching for "pavucontrol" in the apps menu

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

It's probably also a good idea to install pipewire-jack and pipewire-alsa

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

dense tartan It's probably also a good idea to install `pipewire-jack` and `pipewire-alsa`

Good call

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

dense tartan It's probably also a good idea to install `pipewire-jack` and `pipewire-alsa`

what would pipewire-jack do

#

also there's not much that uses alsa

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

still good to have

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

not really, if it does nothing

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

It's a "just in case"

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

amber spire idk how to launch apps in kde

surely there's a pulseaudio applet that makes this easier

#

sudo pacman -S plasma-pa

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

that's part of plasma already

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

you sure?

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

https://archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/plasma/

#

it's in here

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

k

#

@tranquil cedar you probably have a volume slider at the bottom right

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

Hang on maybe send a screenshot

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

I still cant hear anything and I got the audio app open

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

Send a screenshot of the full screen?

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

of the audio window?

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

tranquil cedar I still cant hear anything and I got the audio app open

have you restarted it

#

since starting pipewire

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

nope lmao

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

then do that

small gust Jan 3, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

tranquil cedar I still cant hear anything and I got the audio app open

Install alsa-utils and make sure your channels are unmuted

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

small gust Install `alsa-utils` and make sure your channels are unmuted

that won't do anything

small gust Jan 3, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

amber spire that won't do anything

what

#

channels are muted by default

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

why bother with alsa

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

Because you might as well

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

nothing uses it

#

you might as well not

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

There we go I can hear things now lol

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

I think it's better to have it there than to not have it there, just in case she gets that one old niche app that needs it

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

tranquil cedar There we go I can hear things now lol

Nice

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

It may be worth switching to wireplumber in case you aren't already using it, though it probably won't matter much

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

true

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

And now why does my mouse disconnect each time I reboot?

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

Wdym?

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

I have a razer mouse and keyboard

#

each time I reboot my mouse doesnt turn on with the system

#

I have to unplug and replug it in

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

That's just odd

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

archwiki pls save us

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

I found fix :3

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

oh really?

#

what was it

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

I need to install openrazer

amber spire Jan 3, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

oh

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

Oh ofc

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

Wait, so did you install or do you need to?

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

Now I jus needa find the correct package lmfao

#

Still needing to install it lmao

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

Isnt the package just openrazer?

#

Or is it a specific one?

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

I can only find it on the AUR

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Meaning?

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Ah

#

Alr

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

I found this though
https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/razercfg/

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

We should help you set up yay

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

or paru

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

yeah that might be the issue

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

yay is like pacman but for packages made by the community as well as official packages

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

Makes sense so I think yay is what I needa set up

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

sudo pacman -S git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

or paru

#

paru also works

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

I'd do yay

#

Alright, so we're gonna open up a terminal here

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

sacred talon sudo pacman -S git git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git cd yay makepkg -s...

it's makepkg, not make

also it may be good to do -sir instead of -si so Go is uninstalled after

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

yea makepkg -si
mb

#

can be uninstalled easily using the command yay --clean after she setup yay

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

Okay @tranquil cedar can you open up Konsole?

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

sacred talon can be uninstalled easily using the command yay --clean after she setup yay

I don't think it's listed as an unneeded dependency

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

grand gull Okay <@927626039650320435> can you open up Konsole?

already on it

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

dense tartan I don't think it's listed as an unneeded dependency

try it urself with comman yay --clean

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

sacred talon sudo pacman -S git git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git cd yay makepkg -s...

do this @tranquil cedar

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

Alright, could you run mkdir AUR

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

sacred talon do this <@927626039650320435>

Thats precisely what I did

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

grand gull Alright, could you run mkdir AUR

why would you do that

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

Oh then it might just work

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

dense tartan why would you do that

So the build files aren't just cluttering up the home folder

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

why don't you just delete them?

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:06 PM

#

tranquil cedar Thats precisely what I did

then do yay --clean to remove go package

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

idk, just thought it might be easier to separate them from the rest of the folder

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

also, shouldn't yay be the only package you build with makepkg?

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

I did -sir and it removed the go package

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

Alright how can we test this

#

yay -S openrazer maybe?

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

lets see

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

it's openrazer-meta

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

Oop there

#

That one

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

Just do none

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

Type N

#

Then enter

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

also keeping make dependencies, ah

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

Now how do I get out of yay?

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

Send a screenshot?

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

You wait for it to finish?

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

It might take a while to build

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

yeah its finished

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

really?

#

Are you sure you didn't say no to building it?

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

Yeah I'm sure

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

just clicking enter with keyboard will do N by default

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

Send a screenshot?

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

Also before you build it install linux-headers

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

Ah yeah

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

yea install headers

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

dense tartan Also before you build it install `linux-headers`

.

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

Do yay -S linux-headers

#

It'll act the same as sudo pacman now

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

Oh so it jus assimilated into pac essentially?

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

Yeah

#

It's a frontend for pacman AND an AUR tool

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

It's a pacman wrapper with AUR support basically

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

pog

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

Wrapper! Thanks

#

That's the word

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

And you don't have to use sudo with yay either so that's good

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

ok, delete the yay folder (if you want) and reboot

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

cd ..

rmdir yay

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

dense tartan ok, delete the `yay` folder (if you want) and reboot

why delete it ? just wondering tho

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

No reason to keep it really

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

sacred talon why delete it ? just wondering tho

There's no reason to keep it

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

ah kk

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

So jus bin the home shit

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

Hm?

#

Oh actually you can do this in Dolphin

#

You can go into your file manager and just delete the folder called "yay"

#

You can close Konsole now

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

Haza victory

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

Yay!! (No pun intended)

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

pffft lmao

#

So now the only question is how tf do I adjust chroma lighting

sacred talon Jan 3, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

@tranquil cedar type yay -Sc and enter to all
that will remove all other packages from cache and remove unused repositories etc

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

Ah you might need to get that cfg package

#

Or it might not be possible on Linux

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

It is thats why we went thru to get openrazer

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

I've never used razer stuff

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:24 PM

#

At the end of the day I might jus forgo my razer shit and get new keyboard and mouse

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:24 PM

#

Might be a good idea

dense tartan Jan 3, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

Is the mouse working now?

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

Yup and I got poly to work as well meaning I can adjust my rgb

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

Wow nice

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

ish

#

Poly is semi working lmao

#

OW OSU YOU BITCH

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:31 PM

#

What happened?

tranquil cedar Jan 3, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

The volume was fucking max and it blasted my ears X333

grand gull Jan 3, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

Oh ooooof!

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:13 AM

#

how do I fix this?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 12:13 AM

#

What's this about?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

tryna play a game but whenever I try to launch it even with the proton files it gives me that

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

Where are you launching the game from?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

steam

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

What game is it?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

Dead Estate

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 12:16 AM

#

tranquil cedar Dead Estate

Which version of proton did you use?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

7.0-05

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

Hmmmm

#

So when does this error occur?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:18 AM

#

As soon as I attempt to launch the gamew

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 12:19 AM

#

Maybe try proton 6.3?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:19 AM

#

Already tried that it gave the same thing

#

I'm thinking I might have to install some dependencies??

small gust Jan 4, 2023, 12:20 AM

#

Reports on protondb for this game are from 2 months and 1 year ago.

#

Maybe it doesn't work anymore

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 12:21 AM

#

It's weird because protondb ranks that game as Gold in terms of compatibility

#

Fucking 4G!!!!

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:21 AM

#

Yeah I'm aware and I was able to play it perfectly fine on deck and its still verified so I can confirm

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 12:21 AM

#

As recently as 4 months ago, someone said it runs perfectly

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:21 AM

#

Want me to attempt to run it on my steam deck to crosscheck?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 12:21 AM

#

Sure

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

still works btw

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

That's baffling

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

Indeed lmk if ya find anymore info or if anyone has some insight to this I’m gonna go get some shut eye

#

Also thank you again for you’re support thru my arch endeavors

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 1:55 AM

#

tranquil cedar Also thank you again for you’re support thru my arch endeavors

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:27 PM

#

grand gull That's baffling

Also I fixed it apparently I didnt have wine installed

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 12:50 PM

#

@sacred talon you have any clue on how I can change file permissions from cmd line

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 1:59 PM

#

tranquil cedar Also I fixed it apparently I didnt have wine installed

please search it in the ArchWiki :)

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

I mean now I'm way past that bc this goes back to an issue I found last night

#

Hmm it seems whats limiting me is that I cant seem to access root with my user

#

which is whats roadblocking me from attaining further insight

#

And ownership as well

#

Also @grand gull once its morning for ya you wanna talk bout this in vc so it will be easier to troubleshoot

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 2:46 PM

#

Ok so I cant even play games that are supported by linux/steamos

#

Wtf is going on

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 3:26 PM

#

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

dense tartan Jan 4, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

Wait I just noticed you have two entries for /

#

Try deleting the first entry and rebooting

#

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

So whats the command to that?

dense tartan Jan 4, 2023, 5:28 PM

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

Nano mount?

dense tartan Jan 4, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

no, edit the fstab

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

Nano /etc/fstab/?

dense tartan Jan 4, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

no / at the end, but yes

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

Like so?

dense tartan Jan 4, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

Yeah, that's fine

#

save it and reboot

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 5:34 PM

You shouldn't need to do that

#

Have you tried rebooting and launching again?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

Yeah I have

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

Your EFI partition seemed to be mounted twice, once at / and again ang /boot

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:00 PM

tranquil cedar Yeah I have

What happens when you boot up?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

tranquil cedar

This

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

tranquil cedar

How long does it stay like this?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

Indefinitely

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

How long have you left it?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

30 minutes

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

Right

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

Then I turned off my desktop to think on how to fix it

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

Did you try turning it on again?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

I mean I tried poweroff multiple times

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

Wdym?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

To try fix it before I force shutdown my desktop and even after turning it back on it still showed that black screen

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:06 PM

#

Did you use your PC's power button?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:06 PM

#

Yup

#

I always use the power button

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:07 PM

#

So from being fully off to fully on, it's still stuck on "starting systemd"?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:07 PM

#

Yeah

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:08 PM

#

frozen mulch https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Troubleshooting#X_fails_with_%22no_scree...

I checked this link and it said nothing bout physically removing the gpu

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

tranquil cedar I checked this link and it said nothing bout physically removing the gpu

yes but if you remove the gpu you will no longer have multiple gpus

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

frozen mulch https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Troubleshooting#X_fails_with_%22no_scree...

That's also not the problem

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

so you can check if that's the problem

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

It's not booting past systemd

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

I’m not willing to risk that I’m not a handiwoman

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

that's the problem

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

grand gull It's not booting past systemd

My computer does the exact same thing with the same problem

#

Switch to another tty and run startx

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

Alright yeah

#

Does Ctrl+Alt+F3 do anything? @tranquil cedar

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Mhm it does

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Are you at a login screen?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Yee

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

Alright try logging in there then

#

And do startx

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:12 PM

#

Startx command aint found

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:12 PM

#

... right

sinful marlinBOT Jan 4, 2023, 10:12 PM

#

grand gull ... right

Note right was not found.

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

That's... Strange

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

Indeed

#

So is there a way to attain this startx command?

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

try sudo startx

#

might not be in your path

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

Still nothing but when I login its in root

#

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

Oh did you log in as root?

#

Logout

#

Log back in as your user

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

try as your user

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:14 PM

#

Oh oki

#

Still not found

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

Okay

#

That is just plain weird

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

Is there anyway to reattain this command?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:16 PM

#

It should come by default with xorg iirc

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:16 PM

#

Should I try yay -S xorg?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:17 PM

#

Make sure you're connected to the internet, then maybe yay -Syu xorg

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:17 PM

#

Alrighty

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:17 PM

#

That'll try to get the latest updates for it

#

Because you definitely have it installed already

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

Which one?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

Default settings should be fine

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:19 PM

#

So now I try startx?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:19 PM

#

Alright

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:19 PM

#

Still not found????

#

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

That is bad

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

Like I needa fresh install bad?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

For the sake of curiousity, try Ctrl Alt F7

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

Whats that supposed to do?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

We've been moving you around ttys, and tty7 is where the X server is supposed to be normally

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

Nothing

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:23 PM

#

Maybe just try sudo reboot once more?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:23 PM

#

Alrighty

#

#

Should I try startx again?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

Try leaving that for 2 minutes maybe?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

Alrighty

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

Anything?

#

So it looks like us fixing your fstab has done something wrong

#

Okay if it's still not booted,I don't think it'll work

#

@tranquil cedar I have one more idea

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

grand gull So it looks like us fixing your fstab has done something wrong

Nah it still wasnt booting before that either

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:29 PM

#

We could try deleting your fstab and going back to the LiveUSB to regenerate it

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:30 PM

#

tranquil cedar Nah it still wasnt booting before that either

Ah

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:30 PM

#

grand gull We could try deleting your fstab and going back to the LiveUSB to regenerate it

That could work

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:30 PM

#

grand gull We could try deleting your fstab and going back to the LiveUSB to regenerate it

Well this might help, hard to say

#

First go back to tty3

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:31 PM

#

I’m on tty3

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:31 PM

#

Login as root

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:31 PM

#

Alr did that

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:32 PM

#

Now rm /etc/fstab

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:32 PM

#

Alr

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:32 PM

#

Now, do you still have your arch USB?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

Ye

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

Alr

#

poweroff

#

And boot into your Live USB

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:34 PM

#

Alrighty booting in

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:35 PM

#

You in?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:36 PM

#

Mhm and connected to the internet

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:37 PM

#

Okay so now mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:37 PM

#

Like so?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:37 PM

#

Yep

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:38 PM

#

Did that

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:38 PM

#

Now mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:39 PM

#

Did that

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:40 PM

#

Note just to be sure do ls /mnt/etc/fstab

#

It should say "no file or directory"

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:40 PM

#

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:40 PM

#

Great

#

Just to triple check, also do lsblk

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

Great

#

Now genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

Like so?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

Yep that's it

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

Now what

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

so i know the issue

#

xorg-xinit is not part of xorg

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

Oh tf

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

tranquil cedar Now what

You should be good to leave LiveUSB now I'm pretty sure

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

Alr

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

once you boot back in, sudo pacman -S xorg-xinit

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

Or yay

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

I’ll do yay

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 10:46 PM

#

grand gull Or yay

#

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:51 PM

#

#

Okay so it is no screens found

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

yes

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

At least we got one bigger issue outta the way

#

Before we did this

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

We've got fstab how it should be now, yeah

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

So now we know for sure its the screen thingy

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

Just in case, could you cat /etc/fstab?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

Yep, that's good

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

What next?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

Did you try using your motherboard's HDMI port?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

Yes I always use my motherboards hdmi port

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

Oh

#

Have you tried using your GPU's HDMI port?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

Wait sorry I got confused I use my gpu hdmi port

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

Right

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

Try the MOBO one

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

Want me to poweroff?

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

Yeah that first

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

This one yeah?

#

Btw I use display port

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

Troubleshooting

#

It didn't work with me, but I probably screwed it up

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

Hmm welp here goes nothin

#

How did you ultimately fix it?

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

i didn't lmao

#

i took out my nvidia gpu

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

Oh lmfao

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

it's not my main system so idc

#

it runs windows for valorant

#

if you can disable the igpu in bios that'd "fix" it

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

That'll probably work tbh

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

So should I try to disable igpu first before the ultra fucky stuff?

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

if you can it's the easy way

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

Do you know your motherboard brand?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

Uhhh fuck Idk

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

shouldn't need to, just look through all the options

#

gaming pc probably has it, office pc with an nvidia card might not

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 11:04 PM

#

It might help to know where to look

dense tartan Jan 4, 2023, 11:05 PM

#

Did the nvidia drivers update recently?

#

You might need to regenerate the initramfs

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 11:05 PM

#

First how do I disable igpu

frozen mulch Jan 4, 2023, 11:05 PM

#

tranquil cedar First how do I disable igpu

it would be an option in your bios

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

tranquil cedar First how do I disable igpu

You know how to go to your BIOS/UEFI?

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

I’m in my bios

#

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 11:07 PM

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 11:07 PM

#

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 11:11 PM

#

Nah

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

Hmmmm

#

Have a look around maybe

#

See if there's anything that mentions IGFX

#

Or internal graphics modes

tranquil cedar Jan 4, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

Nothing comes up in search

#

So it seems like I needa do this the wiki way

grand gull Jan 4, 2023, 11:19 PM

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

Uh no not really except for my obs settings

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

Ah fair enough

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:14 AM

#

I think once we get arch reinstalled we should get the gpu drivers outta the way immediately

#

Before shit implodes again lol

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:39 AM

#

@grand gull you readyv

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:43 AM

#

Alrighty

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 11:44 AM

#

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:45 AM

#

Booting in rn

#

Booted in

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 11:47 AM

#

Alr so we've already made the partitions so all we should need to do is reformat them

#

mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p2

mkfs.fat /dev/nvme0n1p1

#

Both of those can be run separately

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:48 AM

#

I would type y to continue?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 11:49 AM

#

Yep

#

It's just asking for permission to overwrite

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:49 AM

#

Alrighty

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 11:50 AM

#

Send a screenshot when you've done both

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:50 AM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 11:51 AM

#

Oop wait my bad

#

mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/nvme0n1p1

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:51 AM

#

Ah oki

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 11:52 AM

#

Done that?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:52 AM

#

#

Yep all good

#

Okay now we can just
mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt

mount --mkdir /dev/nvme0m1p1 /mnt/boot

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

Nice

#

Now
pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware

#

This is basically installing a very barebones version of Linux on the drive

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 11:58 AM

#

Ahh alrighty

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 11:58 AM

#

Great

#

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

Fstab tells Linux which drives/partitions to mount when you boot up

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:00 PM

#

Ahh alrighty

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:01 PM

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:19 PM

sacred talon Jan 5, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

The wiki literally says to just put whatever name you want in there

#

There's no need for formatting any of that

#

Alright

#

Run passwd now, so that you can login later

#

And give it any password you'll remember

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:26 PM

#

Alrighty did that

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:26 PM

Now pacman -S grub

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:27 PM

Then grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:30 PM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:30 PM

#

hot quarry Jan 5, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

hot quarry usermod

Don't need that atm

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

hot quarry not useradd

No?

#

This is making a new user

hot quarry Jan 5, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

if you want to add a group to a user

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

hot quarry if you want to add a group to a user

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:34 PM

#

tranquil cedar Like so?

#

You can use - definitely tho

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:34 PM

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:35 PM

#

There we go

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:35 PM

#

Now for Sudo privs

#

EDITOR=nano visudo

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

Okay and now, systemctl enable --now dhcpcd

hot quarry Jan 5, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

i would double check if sudo works

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

And then systemctl enable --now iwd

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

hot quarry i would double check if sudo works

Last time I did the same thing and it came out fine

hot quarry Jan 5, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

double checking is always good

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

Forgot the --now in both

hot quarry Jan 5, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

to check it you just do su - username and sudo test

#

to go back in root just do exit

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

That can be done after

#

Internet is high priority

hot quarry Jan 5, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

well it takes no time

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:41 PM

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:42 PM

#

tranquil cedar

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

You've done lightdm and the greeter?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:46 PM

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

sudo systemctl enable lightdm

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

—now I presume?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

Not yet

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

Oki

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

We have to install plasma before starting it

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:48 PM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:48 PM

#

Then it should just be sudo pacman -S plasma

#

Oh and sudo pacman -S kde-applications as well maybe

#

Yeah both of those

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:50 PM

#

Alrighty

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:52 PM

#

Those done?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:52 PM

#

Installing the kde-application now

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:53 PM

#

Ah k

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:54 PM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:55 PM

#

Okay now sudo systemctl start lightdm and cross your fingers

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:56 PM

#

#

Now we reboot?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:59 PM

#

Yep

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 12:59 PM

#

What bout the optional dependencies?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 12:59 PM

#

Which ones?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:00 PM

#

Nvidia-settings and xorg-server-devel

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:00 PM

#

Ah yes good point

#

Grab the first one definitely

#

Idk about the second one

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:00 PM

#

And maybe opencl-nvidia

#

Do you want me to give a closer pic of the opt deps?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:01 PM

#

shouldn't hurt to grab all of them ig

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:01 PM

#

tranquil cedar Do you want me to give a closer pic of the opt deps?

?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:02 PM

#

#

Now we reboot?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:05 PM

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:05 PM

#

No worries I dont mind :3

#

Cross fingers lol

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:06 PM

#

It'd probably be a good idea to get a config app for the GTK greeter so you can have a background with it

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 1:07 PM

#

grand gull Oh and `sudo pacman -S kde-applications` as well maybe

also, oh no kde-applications

#

tranquil cedar But what are the optional discover dependencies in order for me to use it

Is it asking for some?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

Yea

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

Which ones is it asking for?

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 1:13 PM

#

tranquil cedar But what are the optional discover dependencies in order for me to use it

packagekit-qt5

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:13 PM

#

Sudo pacman?

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 1:13 PM

#

yes

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:15 PM

#

Ig plasma must come with pulse or pipewire

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:15 PM

#

Yea

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:15 PM

#

Cool

#

So that should be all the major components now

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:17 PM

#

Yea

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:17 PM

#

Can't think of what I could be forgetting

#

You're comfortable using discover to get all your apps, yeah?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

Yup

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

You could install yay if you'd like

#

As well ofc

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

Yea I’ll do that

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

You remember how?

#

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git

cd yay-bin

makepkg -sir

#

Just in case

#

The "bin" bit means it's a binary, so it'll be quicker to install

#

Doesn't have to compile

#

@dense tartan is there something wrong with using the binary? /genq

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

Not really

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

Also apparently steam is loading

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

Yeah might take a minute

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

dense tartan Not really

It's like, if you're not gonna be doing any coding or editing of it, there's no real difference for the end user

#

Just compilation length

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

Fair

#

yay doesn't that take long to compile though, but it doesn't really matter

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

I waited a bit and still its loading

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

Yeah true

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

tranquil cedar I waited a bit and still its loading

Odd

#

Is anything else installing?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

Nope nothing else its jus doin that

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

Maybe quit and relaunch it

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:26 PM

#

Did that and still loading lol

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:26 PM

#

Uh weird

#

Try just pacmanning it

#

Oh oh wait

#

@dense tartan she's gonna need to enable multilib isn't she?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:31 PM

#

There we go now on my desktop :3

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:31 PM

#

Oh you figure it out?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:31 PM

#

Nah not steam discord lol

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

Ah k

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

How would I get multlib

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

Alr

#

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

#

Then go down to multilib and remove the #s from both to uncomment it

#

#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#

It'll look like that

#

Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

grand gull <@349915646324375563> she's gonna need to enable multilib isn't she?

yeah

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

Then make it look like this

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

Also should I uncomment the if I wanna run 32 bit apps?

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

I'd also recommend uncommenting Color and ParallelDownloads

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:35 PM

#

Ooh good idea

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:38 PM

#

Should I unncomment that?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

Nope

#

Those are just comments

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

Alrighty jus makin sure

#

So now what?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

sudo pacman -Sy

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

can that be done with yay?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

Yeah it can

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

grand gull `sudo pacman -Sy`

You shouldn't run Sy by itself

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

How do I get outta the yay bin dir

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

Well you can

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

tranquil cedar How do I get outta the yay bin dir

cd ..

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:41 PM

#

Thank you

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

dense tartan You shouldn't run Sy by itself

Why so?

sacred talon Jan 5, 2023, 1:43 PM

#

tranquil cedar Why so?

Sy is a partial upgrade, dont do this, it can break your system
Syy is the same except it also redownloads mirror databse files, also breaks your system but wastes bandwidth too
Syu is a regular update + upgrade
Syyu is a regular upgrade but also redownloads the mirror databsae, so its a regular update but wastes bandwidth
and yay just runs -Syu

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:43 PM

#

It just refreshes the repos

#

yay -Sy steam then

#

Or yay -Syu steam if the others insist

#

It's not that dangerous

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 1:45 PM

#

If you download a package after running Sy and before an update you can break your system

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:45 PM

#

Ah alr

#

yay -Syu steam

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:46 PM

#

So thats probs what broke my os

#

And did syu steam

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:46 PM

#

It might download a bunch of other updates

#

Alr it's 00:47 rn

#

I'll still be available for a bit in case you need help

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:47 PM

#

Alrighty Tysm

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 1:47 PM

#

But I'm gonna sleep soon

#

Np

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 1:59 PM

#

Also if anyone is still awake I would like some help getting steam games to work effectively

#

And idk if I setup my nvidia driver lol

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:00 PM

#

You're using Proton, right?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:00 PM

#

Yeah

#

Should install proton as a separate package on my os jus incase?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

I wouldn't

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

Makes sense

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

First could you echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

#

Because given you're on NVIDIA, it's probably going to run better if you're on Xorg

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:02 PM

#

Do I need to have a game open to run that command

#

Or does it jus apply in the background

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:02 PM

#

Nah this is just a one time check

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:03 PM

#

what does echo mean again and do I need to input another $

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

It's just going to give an output that'll tell us whether you're using Plasma on Xorg or Wayland

#

Wayland is far newer and works better on AMD GPUs, and Xorg is older, but works way better on NVIDIA GPUs

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

like so?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

Yeah

#

Oh wait no

#

Use the $

#

Not the #

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

No worries I fixed it

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

K

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

Its givin me no output?

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

None?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:06 PM

#

Uh hmmmm

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:07 PM

#

Oh I added an extra s lmfao

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:07 PM

#

Ah

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:07 PM

#

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:07 PM

#

Okay good

#

Alr I've really gotta sleep

#

But X11 and the latest version of Proton will be your best bets

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:08 PM

#

Oki thank you

grand gull Jan 5, 2023, 2:08 PM

#

Gn

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:08 PM

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 2:25 PM

#

When installing steam, what package did you pick for the vulkan drivers?

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

lib32-nvidia-utils

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

ah, ok

#

and just to check, make sure you have the rest of the NVIDIA drivers installed with yay -Q | grep nvidia

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:27 PM

#

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

ok, looks good

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

I'm guessing q stands for query?

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

I believe so

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

That would make sense

#

Do I needa do any manual config for it or nah?

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

You can run nvidia-xconfig, but I don't think it's needed

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

Alrighty there we go

#

#

That look good?

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

It needs to be run as root

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

Oop lmao

#

so go into one of the F2 menus?

#

Or log out and do it in tty1

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 2:44 PM

#

no, just use sudo lol

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:45 PM

#

I did use sudo lmao

dense tartan Jan 5, 2023, 2:48 PM

#

oh

#

sorry I just looked at the top one

#

yeah nvm that's fine

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 2:48 PM

#

Ah its oki

tranquil cedar Jan 5, 2023, 3:08 PM
