oh lord lol 🤣

ornate chasm
#

tryna get out of root will take a while, audio priority tho

slate hatch
#

why do you have both pipewire and pulseaudio and why're you root

fallen eagle
#

well for starts you have pulse audio stuff and pipewire, pick one

ornate chasm
#

umm

#

pulseaudio

#

sure

slate hatch
ornate chasm
fallen eagle
#

sudo pacman -R pipewire wireplumber libpipewire libwireplumber

fallen eagle
#

you need to start/enable the pulse audio server under your user account not the root

ornate chasm

i dont have firefox or anything on that user yet so

fallen eagle
#

you've been doing everything on root?

ornate chasm
#

💀 :yes:

fallen eagle
slate hatch
#

you can just copy paste the configs

ornate chasm
#

that sounds great

#

how tho

#

and my root is so messed up should i really

fallen eagle
#

tbh id nuke the whole setup, no telling what else u did lmfao (thats just me tho)

i didnt realize pipewire etc is a dependency of kwin etc

#

maybe stick with pipewire if its default in kde?

#

instead of pulse

#

idk, i dont use kde

ornate chasm
#

ok ill stick with pipewire

fallen eagle
#

did you add in pulse audio yourself or was it there first

slate hatch
ornate chasm
ornate chasm
fallen eagle
#

okay get rid of the pulse packages

#

also sudo pacman -S pipewire-pulse pipewire-audio

#

you already have pipewire and wireplumber so far

#

jack2 is fine, or you can replace with pipewire-jack iirc

ornate chasm
# 
[root@archlinux ~]# pacman -S pipewire-pulse pipewire-audio

how are you logging in? sddm?

ornate chasm
#

i think yes

#

im on a plasma kde

fallen eagle
#

i was gonna say can u just like reboot / relog

#

i have no clue what went wrong

#

or why you have no environmental variables set

ornate chasm
#

can i make it use the ones on root maybe

fallen eagle
#

just relog rq

ornate chasm
#

how

fallen eagle
#

😭

#

click the logout button somewhere, idk

#

bottom left

ornate chasm
#

ok

#

then login

#

?

fallen eagle
#

yes

ornate chasm
#

ok

fallen eagle
#

and after that echo $PATH again

ornate chasm
#

30 sec

slate hatch
#

ye try that

#

bruh I had lost connection

fallen eagle
#

id burn this whole setup if i could

slate hatch
#

how did he change user in the first place

fallen eagle
#

i have no damn clue

slate hatch
#

without relogging

fallen eagle
#

no i think he just su'd

slate hatch
#

env variables would persist with su

fallen eagle
#

we shall see lol

ornate chasm
#

i blackscreened on user switch

#

rebooted

#

now my entire archlinux has no wifi

#

im on root

fallen eagle
#

bro stop going on root

ornate chasm
#

typing on my ipad

fallen eagle
#

you prob just need to enter your wifi again

ornate chasm
#

ill relog again

fallen eagle
#

u dont ever need to be on root

#

kde comes with network manager i think or sometihng similiar

#

go ensure u are connected

ornate chasm
#

im not on root

#

i cant find the net manager

slate hatch
#

I'm confused how are you getting root with sddm

fallen eagle
slate hatch
#

I think it let's you login as uswr

ornate chasm
#

and i cant run nmtui its not found

slate hatch
#

user

#

it's because of no env variables

fallen eagle
#

lord

slate hatch
#

do . /etc/profile

fallen eagle
#

this is a cursed setup

slate hatch
#

bandaid solution

ornate chasm
#

im still not on wifi

fallen eagle
#

go to settings, search network or something

#

idk what kde uses

#

check your sys tray icons

fallen eagle
ornate chasm
#

my wlan0 is gone

#

theres only lo now

fallen eagle
#

smh

ornate chasm
#

sys tray gives nothing

fallen eagle
#

do you have anything else on this install or is it brand new basically?

slate hatch
#

umm can you reinstall real quick

ornate chasm
#

installed yesterday

#

the usb is gone

slate hatch
#

no worries

#

format a /boot partition

#

a new one

fallen eagle
#

just use ventoy if you were to reinstall lol much easier xD

slate hatch
#

with archiso

ornate chasm
#

wait up ipad on 1%

fallen eagle
#

did you do a manual install or archinstall

#

okay

ornate chasm
#

first time forgot network

fallen eagle
#

i think you just borked your own set up not gonna lie

#

i could dig into it all but i dont feel its worth my time

slate hatch
fallen eagle
#

would be faster to wipe and reinstall then troubleshoot and fix

#

imo

ornate chasm
#

got the usb

slate hatch
#

okay wipe disk and reinstall arch if you don't have any important data on it

fallen eagle
ornate chasm
#

archiso disappeared from the usb

#

reflashing on my other machine

fallen eagle
#

set pipewire to be the default sound server in archinstall, make sure you set your user account to have sudo user perms in the config options

#

it will ask you in like a second level step

ornate chasm
#

ill see

fallen eagle
#

after archinstall, reboot, login with ur NORMAL user, never log in as root again lol

#

(unless you know what you are doing)

ornate chasm
#

ok

#

i definitely dont

#

flashed

#

rebooting

#

running archinstall

ornate chasm
#

formatting

ornate chasm
fallen eagle
#

i cant really speak on that cuz i use a window manager 😛

ornate chasm
#

is that any different

fallen eagle
#

if u have to ask, prob shouldnt consider it haha

slate hatch
#

Kde mate gnome what else, xfce
I've only ever used XMonad and KDE though

#

either all or nothing

fallen eagle
#

if ur a noob, kde or xfce i guess

#

idk, i never liked gnome

#

xfce a bit less bloat than kde

slate hatch
#

you can also use awesomewm

slate hatch
#

you could just manual install

fallen eagle

sometimes archinstall is weird and u gotta do some fixes
