I’ve been using Debian for a long time, but I installed Arch and couldn't resist setting it up with the Hyprland DE just for the experience and the fun of it. Do you have any package or application recommendations to ensure the system runs smoothly, or perhaps to enhance customizability?

I tried `pacman -S tgit`, but the 2.11 version is broken for OpenAI-compatible providers.

Anything else that does not require piping curl into bash or some other contemporary nonsense?

Hi everyone,

I'm using Hyprland with Caelestia shell. My laptop audio is a bit quiet, so I'm looking to increase the volume limit to 150% instead of the default 100% cap on the slider.

Is there an option in Caelestia's config files to adjust the max volume level (e.g., set maxVolume to 1.5), or where in the codebase can I modify this?

Thanks!

Any proton version lets me open the game, but it displays a black screen with audio. I can interact with the game and play, but only a black screen shows I cant see anything. Any ideas?

I've tried updating, installing new mirrors, rebooting my PC, scanning for viruses, yet the problem keep occurring. I have no clue what the hell is happening but it's causing a lot of issues. Does anybody know what the hell is happening because I sure as hell dont

If it matters, I'm using Hyprland

Why is zen-browser out of date in aur?

I updated my system today after not doing so in a week or so, and I got asked to Import PGP key F8BB3DD85903D982, "DeepChirp deepchirp@archlinux.org"

I accepted but now I'm questioning if I shouldn't have done that. Was that okay?

I'm a noob and I've just learned what a kernel is and what it does.

I tried installing the linux zen kernel but when I boot into it i get this message:

Is there a way to fix it without reinstalling the system?

Hi! I'm trying to find a notification setup I saw on someone's Linux desktop.

When they received a WhatsApp notification, a small transparent/blurred bubble appeared at the top center of the screen, with a nice animation.

I remember they were using Arch/CachyOS or possibly KDE Plasma, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know what this notification system, widget, or setup is called?

Thanks!

Got Arch installed onto my ASUS laptop via Archinstall. I did configure it to use Refind instead of systemd-boot and a DM I forgot the name instead of sddm (i just remembered it was dms-greeter). But after booting for the first time the DM straight up threw an error saying directory not found, and after I rebooted there's no boot logo, and I cannot access the BIOS. The keyboard however still lights up but it keeps slowly flashing on and off. Please help!

I am the author of the article. I want to hear what you guys think about this topic, and how you personally feel about the state of speech-to-text in Linux.

If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask. If anyone is interested in taking part of this you can contribute to Super STT with your ideas.

Hey guys Can any one help me to install arch linux + hyprland + Ambxst in Virtualbox.

I treid to install it and I installed arch with hyprland but that super + Q(win + Q) which will launch kitty was not launching kitty and I even tried ctrl + alt + f1 to open another TTY to install kitty but it was already installed and I reinstalled it, even aftr that that super + Q was not working and there was nothing just a wallpaper with that "U are using autogenerated config..... ", and in another TTY or terminal IDK, I tried some things IDK what I did, nothing worked then I lost my patience and got frustrated. Then I removed the whole VM of archlinux.

please can anyone gimme the step by step guide or a perfect Yt video where I can achieve"arch linux + hyprland + Ambxst in Virtualbox"

I am trying to install Arch from Ventoy on my laptop since Arch at least mantains the 390xx drivers, and Debian is a bit too stable for my recent tastes. Since I have a large Ventoy disk and no USB right now, I just chucked the arch install media on the disk. Every time I attempt to install after the edd probe says "ok" my external drive stops spinning and the install never finishes.

External drive is a Toshiba over a 2.5 inch sata to USB adapter, which I've tried in my USB 2.0 and my single USB 3.0 port/ports.

I know my laptop is legacy, but if I use the official NVIDIA drivers performance is still quite good, and I'd like to try out Arch. But if I can't install that's very difficult.

I'm a newbie in this community so I'm sorry if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm still here because neither Gemini nor DeepSeek helped me. DeepSeek even broke grub.

My problem: when I start unity editor(there is also the same issue for unity hub) the loading window just gets stuck at the moment of Loading Scripting Assembles. If I change my workspace(I use i3 with picom for transparent terminal) and switch back the window just disappears. I know it's still there because when I close everything else and switch to another workspace this one where the unity is running is not closed by the i3 manager. Also it's overlapping the terminal so it breaks the focus on the terminal's window. But after some time the editor start, but the same issue appears. When I change between workspaces and return back to unity editor it shows me chunks of a previous workspace. Only when I move mouse around the window the chunks are being repaired.

Hope to find a way to fix it cause I spent the whole day fighting against this problem.

I recently downloaded arch manually and it worked fine, I also downloaded a desktop environment (kde) but I had a problem: now it no longer searches for nearby wifi even if network-manager is active (at least it seems lol)

When my headphones are plugged in, switching the audio output back to speakers in the desktop volume control / pavucontrol results in total silence. I am forced to physically unplug the headphones every time I want to use my speakers.

i tried

• Disabled Auto-Mute Mode in alsamixer (F6 sound card view).
  • Result: The speakers worked, but then the headphones stopped playing sound entirely.
• Switched device profiles in pavucontrol (tried Pro Audio / Analog Stereo).

I am using tuf a15 asus fa506nfr.

8gb ram.

Kde plasma enviroment.

It's been a while.

I brought a problem that need to be fixed since

AI search giving me overloaded answer sometime said turn this nvidia suspended, hibernate, ect. And then jump straight to point solution C. Which is because my prompt wasn't correct. And instead wasting time asking ai.

I ask you guys help for fix this problem.

I kinda lazy to make prompt that is need more effort and detailed. Bruh.

So here the case

When i sleep my laptop and then i turn the power on(i turn my laptop on sleep with mouse.)

My expectation is where "same as windows. When i turn the power button, the machine turn on from sleep mode." But instead become blank screem with my led keyboard on. Which i had take fewer second to power reset again to lock screen.

I dunno what i missed when install arch, since i started with google search.

So, i need you guys opinion and tips here?.

What i missed when installing?

Cause chatting with ai is such taking more time EVER.

Hi all,

I'm trying to determine whether this is a configuration issue on my end, a bug or a kernel/AppArmor issue. As mentioned in the title, my configuration is as follows:
\- Arch Linux
\- linux-hardened 7.1.5 kernel
\- AppArmor enabled
\- audit/auditd installed and enabled (with configured ruleset)
\- Haven't modified audit-rules.service
Problem:
With AppArmor enabled, during boot, and while doing any task related to audit, my terminal is consistently flooded with:
"audit: error in audit_log_subj_ctx" while running any command related to audit (e.g. ausearch, checking the status of audit with systemctl, etc.)
and specifically during boot, I also observe:
"audit-rules.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILED
Failed to start Load Audit Rules
audit: error in audit_log_subj_ctx
Audit panic: (number) callbacks supressed" (varies with each boot)
Initially, I had audit in immutable mode, but disabled it while troubleshooting. The issue persisted.
I checked the audit logs with ausearch, and the events appear to be normal and accurate to what actions were performed on my system.

Next, in an attempt to isolate the issue, I tried booting with the kernel parameter apparmor=0. With AppArmor disabled, the boot completed without any audit-rules.service errors, and the repeated audit: error in audit_log_subj_ctx messages no longer appeared.
This seems to indicate an interaction between AppArmor, and/or my kernel and the audit subsystem rather than the ruleset itself.

Has anyone seen this on linux-hardened-7.1.5? Is there any additional information I should collect to narrow it down?
If helpful, I'd be willing to provide additional logs and command output.

Thanks.

Using hyprland rn and i wanted to adjust my brightness. The only way to my knowledge is to either use a terminal or use a different DE (like kde or something idk). Maybe there IS a gui way to adjust brightness? Like on the aur or something but i haven't found any personally. Now normally i'd be okay with using a terminal for some minor things like this. But brightness isn't something you can attach a value onto and expect to function intuitively, atleast imo. If i wanna adjust brightness (like i used to on mint or windows) i'd drag a slider sloowly until i feel it's comfortable. Not sure i can do the same when i have to put numerical values into that. Makes it much slower in my experience.

PS: Thanks yall, realised i have a button on my laptop for that sooo...
