yeah considering gdm is gnomes display manager guess it could be weird
GDM didn't want to let my Wayland work at some point
Turned out it was a setting, resetting when I updated my arch

is undiscord safe?
sand trench
yeah you can do it later
jovial musk
is it easy to do it later?
chilly veldt
is undiscord safe?
No modded version of discord is safe
sand trench
at the end of the install script it will ask if you wanna chroot
which you then select yes
rapid merlin
No modded version of discord is safe
..its not a modded discord...

this installs plasma 6.1 right?
sand trench
oooh sorry wrong package group name
Install the plasma-meta meta-package or the plasma group. For differences between plasma-meta and plasma reference Package group. Alternatively, for a more minimal Plasma installation, install the plasma-desktop package. Upstream KDE has package and setup recommendations to get a fully-featured Plasma session.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE
@jovial musk
jovial musk
so what do i do
sand trench
pacman -S plasma
sand trench
core is just basically linux kernel and things the system 100% needs
extra is basically everything else

it finished installing
now what
do i reboot?
sand trench
install either pipewire or pulseaudio.... would recommend pipewire
oooh....
well then install pavucontrol and check it to configure your audio @rapid merlin
sand trench
oh
sand trench
how do i login
you booted after installing right??? if so sudo systemctl enable --now sddm.service
jovial musk
lemme try that
sand trench
considering you installed the full suite package for kde/plasma sddm should be there
jovial musk
its loading rn
sand trench
systemctl is what you use to mess with services... enable is to make it start automatically on boot next time you reboot... and --now is to also use the start command on the current session
jovial musk
its stuck on unknown revid 0x06 rn

I mean, depending on your means, you could just dd the drive to an external storage device which optimally is going to be bigger than your source drive.

like onto like a usb or a nas or what?
bc different utilities work better for different things
tbh cp might just work the best if you need speed

what I would do is tar whatever you need to backup into a byte stream and funnel that into the rsync command onto a usb

make sure its the correct partition
also it won't be compressed afaik
so it'll take up a metric fuckton of space

you can either install an fs like btrfs or zfs that support shrinking or increasing
or use lvm
if you want separate partitions

if you can back up your home partition first, you can delete it and expand your root over the rest of the drive, nuke the mount from your fstab, and then add it as a proper directory (via live boot probably)

<@456226577798135808> give the ESP partition more size
bc you are mounting on /boot
instead of /boot/efi
you need extra space to store kernels and microcode and stuff

all of them ofc

i just discovered something
you can access dell diagnositc logs at ESP_PARTITION/EFI/Dell/logs
2 options:
Partition or swapfile
doesn't really matter
I have my swap on a btrfs partition
molten sky
~~ swapfs ofc ~~
neon river
under lvm
molten sky
wonder when the last time i actually had a swapfile or swap partition was
neon river
in retrospect having btrfs under lvm is probably unnecessary (talking about my usecase)
btrfs has all the features I could ever want from lvm
molten sky
can confirm
neon river
lvm is only useful if you are using like ext4
neon river
make it a separate partition
not btrfs
set it to SWAP
or whatever the swap option is
you can keep the partition under lvm
molten sky
i thought he was asking generically -- but yeah swap completely separate, not btrfs subv
molten sky
at this point just don't use lvm imo lol
ext4 efi boot swap, btrfs /
not ext4 efi
but whatever you get the point
neon river
@rapid merlin here is a reference
/boot (bc it is the ESP mountpoint) is outside of LVM
rest is inside LVM
swap is one lvm lv
rootfs is another lvm lv
you put btrfs in rootfs lv
remove swap partition
you created
and leave some empty space on the drive
you'll have to create the swap partition later
(although its not needed strictly for 32GB of RAM)
32GB of RAM is a lot for linux
you probably won't go over 10GB of RAM usage in daily tasks
wih full DE
shrink btrfs filesystem
rapid merlin
You need swap if you are planning to VM
neon river
then shrink lv's
only shrink lv's
so that there is enough space left for a swap partition
@rapid merlin just do it manually
its a lot easier if you are going to do partition stuff
other than basic ext4
@rapid merlin if you do it manually I can guide you
I have done this (sadly) many times
I think what we are doing is a little too advanced for archinstall
bc of the whole btrfs on top of lvm thing
can I see the partition layout
just remove the swap partition
leave everything else as-is
or you can extend the rootfs partition
it'll be easier for you to create a swapfile
@rapid merlin I've got the instructions for creating a swapfile on btrfs
add subvolume on btrfs
mounted at /swap
name is @swap
like the scheme of the others
and we will do the rest later
after installation
rapid merlin
Hmmmโฆ perhaps you sure shutdown and restart everything from the beginning /s
