It gives an error "The futex facility returned an unexpected error code.
Cannot upload crash dump: cannot exec /usr/bin/wget
Kinda new to arch and not super knowledgeable about Linux as a whole (I know enough to use it normally and install stuff) so I have no clue what's going on here
This is a fresh install, file system is btrfs
Also it's KDE plasma X11
feral sand
what's giving that error?
dusky root
Discord, not sure what it's called but I'm in the ctrl alt f2 screen
feral sand
sounds like an electron error but you're in x11
dusky root
Only option is X11, my friend helped me through the install as archinstall wasnt working
On nvidia
feral sand
also ctrl alt (2-6) are called tty2-6
feral sand
all apps not opening or just discord
dusky root
All apps
Discord I used as an example
Only thing that opens is the configure application launcher thing
feral sand
i found this similar error online. do you know if you're using the snap version of discord?
dusky root
Not sure
I did sudo pacman -S discord
And proceeded
How do I check tho, I can't open anything
feral sand
ok you're not using the snap version then
snap is a universal package format made by canonical
it sucks
dont use it
dusky root
Ye I've heard
Also the boot loader fucked up while I was restarting
Had to reinstall
And do some mkconfig something idk my friend gave me the commands lol
He's asleep rn tho so
feral sand
i dont know if the discord issue and the everything else not working issue are correlated
dusky root
i dont know if the discord issue and the everything else not working issue are c...
What's the uninstall command?
I forgot lmao, been a while since I've last used arch
feral sand
sudo pacman -Rns discord
dusky root
Rebooting I'll see if it's fine now
feral sand
can you post the output of cat /etc/hostname and cat /etc/locale.conf
dusky root
1 sec
Host name is user right?
Entered it and didn't work
No such file for directory
dusky root
dusky root
btw your friend doesnt know what he's doing
He isn't mega expert but he knows a fair amount
More than I do
dusky root
Yea well uh not the first time this has happened 🙂
dusky root
Permission denied
feral sand
sudo !!
dusky root
Lmao I'm dumb mb
feral sand
yeah if you need to run sudo with something you already tried run sudo !!
then echo "(your system hostname)" >> /etc/hostname
dusky root
Run sudo with this too right?
feral sand
yes
dusky root
feral sand
no wait
dusky root
Shit wait I realise now
feral sand
what
dusky root
Ok still permission denied
feral sand
ah i love when i put file thing
feral sand
ok wait
no parenthesis
and don't substitute /etc/hostname for your hostname
just /etc/hostname
dusky root
So sudo echo "yhiz" >> /etc/hostname
dusky root
Very
Might just run archinstall again and use ext4 instead of btrfs
Worked fine for me last time with ext4
I don't know the advantages tho
feral sand
Used manjaro, it sucks
agreed
dusky root
The install is just a pain
feral sand
how about something like arco or endeavouros
dusky root
I've never had huge trouble past the install
What DE does Arco and endeavouros have
Also I think it's a little late now my windows install gone
Wasn't planning on any other distro
I personally don't see the point in "starter distro's" I don't mind searching because in the end I'll usually end up finding a fix and I'll learn from it ig
feral sand
alr then
its not btrfs causing the issues though feel free to try it again
i use btrfs
feral sand
It good?
i mean there's not really any end user differences to filesystem
hold on i'll have a chatbot summarize what btrfs does differently
dusky root
Btw do you know a guide on how to uninstall the forced universal vsync thing on KDE
Idk what it's specifically called
But it adds a fair bit of input lag which is a little annoying
feral sand
search for compositor, select compositor settings for desktop effects, and select the drop down for vsync and disable it
btrfs and ext4 are both file systems for storing and organizing data on a storage device (such as a hard drive or solid-state drive). They have some similarities, but there are also some key differences between the two. One of the main differences between btrfs and ext4 is that btrfs is a "copy-on-write" (CoW) file system, while ext4 is a "journaling" file system. This means that when you make changes to a file on a btrfs file system, the file system creates a new copy of the file with the changes, rather than modifying the existing file in place. This allows btrfs to provide features like snapshotting, which allows you to create point-in-time copies of your file system. ext4, on the other hand, makes changes to files in place and uses a journal to keep track of those changes, which helps to prevent data loss in case of a system crash. Another difference between the two file systems is that btrfs supports features like transparent compression, which allows you to compress files on the fly to save space. ext4 does not have this capability. Finally, btrfs is a relatively new file system compared to ext4, which has been around for much longer. As a result, btrfs may not be as widely supported or as well-tested as ext4.
damn chatgpt is so cool
dusky root
True
Looks like something my english teachers would pull out as a peak exam answer lmao
It's way too structured but it gets the point across very well
dusky root
Nice
feral sand
well yeah the best course of action would probably be to reinstall and dont go to that friend for computer help
feral sand
yep np
feral sand
dont worry about it
feral sand
try an older iso i heard this was an issue
feral sand
dusky root
I read up just now that older ones worked fine but
I wrote my iso to my old ssd
And have no spare pc
feral sand
well there's nothing else you can really do
you sure you don't have a flash drive lying around somewhere?
ruby mortar
btw your friend doesnt know what he's doing
I have done countless arch installs using the same method and they worked perfectly fine
ruby mortar
i was way too tired and I could barely speak so I might have said some dumb stuff lmao
feral sand

so you forgot to set the hostname and set the locale.conf incorrectly on all of them?
and you also messed up write permissions on /etc
ruby mortar
they're set
ruby mortar
and you also messed up write permissions on /etc
i didn't change any perms on /etc
dusky root
I didn't
feral sand
they're set
hostname wasn't set at all and the locale.conf was setup incorrectly
feral sand
ah whatever i feel you
ruby mortar
you were the one that forced me to do an arch install while half asleep
dusky root
SORRY
ruby mortar
anyways
feral sand
gasp plot twist
ruby mortar
have you figured out why archinstall was so horribly broken btw
ruby mortar
and why it wanted to use /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb
dusky root
Everything crashes when booting
feral sand
something messed up with the new iso i think
dusky root
Fuck
ruby mortar
oh
dusky root
I'm screwed
ruby mortar
use an older version then
dusky root
I need my USB but I can't find
dusky root
Latest
feral sand
hold on ive got that iso ill try it in a vm and see if it's that
ruby mortar
worked perfectly fine
to be fair I didn't use archinstall but yeah
but yeah the hostname and locale are definitely gonna break shit
im really surprised plasma didn't refuse to do anything without a proper locale
ruby mortar
and you also messed up write permissions on /etc
#1060740234897273063 message was this the broken /etc permissions?
feral sand
no i tried archinstall on the iso and it worked just fine

Root what's the command to view drives and mounting and stuff
ruby mortar
yeah
they're not broken
sudo doesn't pass through pipes and he was still logged in as his normal user account
sudo echo something > /etc/hostname

hold on i did this as a joke but this is actually the solution?
dusky root
I'll try older iso
ruby mortar
hold on i did this as a joke but this is actually the solution?
thats gonna write it to a file called sudo in your current directory
ruby mortar
functional examples:
echo something | sudo tee /etc/hostname
sudo sh -c "echo something > /etc/hostname"
dangit
dusky root
It's 3am forme
ruby mortar
anyways @dusky root up for another manual install
this time without me forgetting basic system configuration 
or just read the arch wiki
dusky root
Or archinstall with older iso
feral sand
yeah see if another iso works
dusky root
Maybe my mouse pad broke arch
Too much game radiation
Where do I download older versions lol
ruby mortar
Where do I download older versions lol
https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1538 this might be related
feral sand
oh wait
ruby mortar
btw
also they said 2022.09.03 worked fine for them
a bit old but as long as you update archlinux-keyring you should be fine
otherwise pacman may complain about packages being untrusted
feral sand
alr ima go you got this
dusky root
Yes yes
Holy shit the laptop is actually downloading it at acceptable speeds wtf
The arch iso
ruby mortar
nice
dusky root
This shit randomly restarts tho

Wayland iirc doesn't work on nvidia so
depends on your nvidia driver version, anything >515 will work decently
feral sand
imo not daily driver ready though
