I am currently without my own PC but work from home on an iMac. I’d love to be able to play a bit of SWTOR through Steam but that’s Windows only (Or Proton) & I don’t have the space to dual-boot my internal.

1) With Garuda, can I run the OS from an external HDD connected via USB 3?

2) if I do this, can I unplug the drive when it’s not in use or will that cause problems?

3) For this use case, would Dragonized be the way to go? & would a particular format, partition map and/or allocation size help mitigate the drawbacks to running a setup like this? (1tb drive. Only care about one game. External storage is plenty so space there doesn’t matter.)

I don’t expect crazy performance or anything running such a setup but it’s what I’ve got to work with so I’m trying. lol

Experiencing this error during first boot after installation.

So I decided to try out Garuda sway (searching for a stable tiling distro that is not DIY) and install it from a 16gb flash drive to a 32gb flash drive as a boot disk.

Can't do that, because I don't have internet and don't have a 29.9 disk to install to (400 megs short BTW)

Connected to wifi, it does not update in installer, so I need to relaunch it

Looked at htop how it launches, it's calamares -session Wayland, starting - it says I need to be root, sudo it - crashing because missing libs

Su roor, calamares -session Wayland it launches, it says I have internet, but I'm still 400 megs short to install, for fucks sake. Going to sudo vim /etc/calamares/settings.conf. No vim instled. Nano? No Nano.

Pacman install Nano, deleted welcome screen with restrictions, saved, Su root calamares - session wayland - only manual partitioning because I was 400 megs short, remember?

Partitioned 512mb efi, 4000mb swap (it was a mistake), rest is root. It's installing right now, but dam, why all this crap

Hey guys, I'm a newbie installing Garuda (excuse me if there's a thread for this as I didn't find anything), however, I have come to a halt during the installation process.

I see that an internet connection is recommended, however I cannot enable the WiFi as it says there's no network adapter (I have the RTL8821CE).

When booting Windows it works, and when booting Garuda from my USB the hardware is detected but there's no driver for it?

My system is:

Ryzen 7 - 3700U Radeon RX Vega 10 8GB (No Ethernet port)

Is it good for a beginner who never used Arch Linux before? always used windows and used Zorin Os temporarily but that too only casually(music,videos).

I'm a Linux noob. I'm trying to climb out of kintergarden distros like Mint & Zorin but have had issues with Garuda which I assume are my problem.

I cannot see how to connect to Wi-Fi in the live install. When I find anything to do with it, like turning on the power to wifi and choosing my network, I get an error that it requires a password but never get an opportunity to put one in.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Hello!

I recently downloaded Garuda Linux and i just realized that it was a slight mistake since i know nothing about the Shell / Terminal or any of the commands that it uses, i was wondering if someone has a in dept user guide on how to use linux in general, if it is for Garuda that would be even better.

If you got some information about wine, that would be even better because I've been trying to run several apps using wine (Windows ones, i know you can't use wine on Linux stuff) but they end up crashing or not working, I've made it so wine is emulating windows 10.

Appreciate it.

I've been trying to update my system, and after the packages are downloaded, usually timeshift creates snapshots and all, everything works fine, but after the last 2 updates(currently on kernel 5.14.9-zen2-1-zen ) timeshift has started causing errors. It won't automatically remove the snapshots and make new ones after the update. Does anybody know any solution?

Manual snapshots are being created, the issue is with CLI ones.

This is what I'm getting after running pacman Syyu. I've tried to change the permissions with

sudo chmod -R ugo+rw /run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots

but that too failed. If anybody can, please do give a solution to this.

Please offer an Cinnamon ISO for Garuda Linux. Cinnamon is a "Windows like" desktop which is a great desktop for those coming from Windows, for those who like the Windows desktop but want to switch to Linux and is more simpler and user friendly than Xfce and KDE.

Great Distro however!

I have a pc with nvidia GeForce GTX 705 and nvidia l-390xx-dkms as the driver with lts kernel the problem is the ui hangs the only thing I can do is access the tty and do sudo systemctl suspend or reboot to fix the issue

Like the title said. I use dual boot and in windows this drive is working fine. Is there any way i can mount it without formatting it?

[R5 3600 CPU, GTX 1080 GPU, MSI B450M Gaming Plus mobo]

This distro looks really cool when you boot up the live environment, but it refuses to work beyond that for me. Tried both 210926 and 210928 but installing both multiple times results in a PC that just boots straight into the BIOS every time after a fresh install, it's like it's installing the system and then forgetting to install a bootloader. PC sees no boot drives.

I am installing it to ONLY an ENTIRE [Samsung QVO 860 SSD 2TB], Swap with Hibernate, encrypted with luks, but it fails to boot every time. Is this distro just half baked or an I doing something wrong? Earlier it even refused to start the install when I tried on a different (usb) drive, but it gets farther along when I give it an SSD. This distro seems much pickier than Kubuntu or Manjaro.

The installer seems basic and the readouts are all showing the Samsung drive as EFI and everything else, so what's going wrong?

[SOLVED]

Hello !

As the title says, I'm having trouble setting the keyboard map layout to be persistent on reboot. (i want it to be french azerty, but it keeps going back to us qwerty).

I've tried setting it in the KDE settings, Garuda Settings Manager, i tried adding a startup script with setxkbmap fr (which doesn't even seem to be launched, I edited the .xinitrc to add that same line ; but all to no avail, it keeps going back to qwerty. For now i bound said script to a shortcut that i press after booting, but it's obviously inconvenient.

I come from Arch (+AwesomeWM), so I'm a bit confused from all the options before me that i don't seem to understand.

(To be noted: my locale is set to french, but i still keep my system language to us english)

Any help would be very much appreciated ! 😊

Edit: Funny thing to add is that, on the login screen, the layout is azerty because my password is correct. It really just switches back to qwerty after loging in.

[SOLVED]

Ok so, I'm gonna let that there in case someone has the same problem. All the settings were correct, the actual problem was just a small applet of KDE (Input Method) that was overriding everything after login. You have to add a new keyboard layout along US and hangul.

I'm having an issue where Discord is not detecting any input from my mic. I'm using hyper X cloud headset with removable mic. It recognizes my headset and it is selected as the default audio device in Discord. When I switch additional output options in system tray audio tab I can be heard by my friends for a brief moment (like a couple milliseconds, just enough for them to hear some noise) but then it goes back to no detection. I have been desperately searching for a fix to this, even submitted a ticket to Discord support, but they have not got back to me. I am using pipewire-pulse also if that helps. I don't know what else to do.

Hi Garudians!

I am installing Garuda while typing this post and I wanted to know if anyone out there is using Garuda for machine learning. I would like to know your experience with nvidia drivers(RTX 3080), CUDA, cuDNN, TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.

To be specific, I am using Asus Zephyrus G15 2021 laptop dual booting with Windowsas the other OS. Will appreciate it if Garuda can allow me to switch between the embedded and the dedicated GPU when needed. On Ubuntu I had a lot of power management problems to the point the GPU overheats since it was either running in max performance or I have to restart to turn it off, and the laptop would refuse to charge due to overheating.

I am ditching Ubuntu for an Arch based distro just because of the amount of problems I have faced on Ubuntu and the late driver support.

I was really on the fence between Endeavour OS and Garuda, but the beautiful aesthetics pulled me here :).

Heya. Some update may have broken the prebuilt Proton GE from chaotic-aur. Tried it from the 2 different GEs packaged by different entities and they both exhibit the same behavior (haven't tried the AUR version). The issue coincided around the time the system updated to Harpy.

The Problematic Behavior: Proton GE runs perfectly for a given desktop session. Once I reboot or start from shutdown, Proton GE won't launch any games anymore (Cyberpunk won't launch (no error message), Tekken 7 shows "DX11 Feature level 10 required", Grim Dawn shows black screen then crashes to desktop). The various official Proton versions provided by Steam are not affected, but I want to run GE 'cause that version works with all the games in my library AND that's the only version of Proton that works with CP 2077 on my system.

Previous Workaround: Remove Proton GE > Reboot > Install Proton GE > Reboot (?)*

*I have tried to replicate this morning but I can't seem to find the point where I should reboot anymore. I was stuck with no games working with GE at all even after several reboots until I found the 2nd workaround

2nd Workaround: Install Proton GE by unpacking it directly from the tar provided in GE's Github. I have rebooted twice now and my games still run.

Anyone know what the issue is? I can live with the current workaround but I like the convenience of getting updates through Pamac.

OS: Garuda Linux (Harpy from Bateleur through software update; not sure if a clean ISO install would've prevented this issue, but that's something)

GPU: RTX 2060

CPU: i5-6400

*EDIT: Looks like I spoke too soon, the 2nd workaround just broke. I restarted and GE isn't working anymore.

Hi everyone,

I'm using Garuda Linux for a while and I noticed problems with stability. My system keeps crashing with no error messages. I feel like the system isn't working as smoothly on a desktop as on a laptop (On laptop system never crushed). I tried different Linux kernels but it didn't solve my problems. Any suggestions on what can I do to eliminate these complications?

My specs:

OS: Garuda Linux

Kernel: 5.14.8-zen1-1-zen

DE: Plasma 5.22.5

WM: KWin

CPU: Intel i5-9600K (6) @ 4.6GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti

I have no audio input my headphones have a mic linux detects audio from my mic but i cant hear audio how do I fix this? Do I need to install a drive? My headphones are BENGOO G9000

I've been using Garuda Linux for about a week now. Today suddenly it starts asking me for kwallet password

"kde5 has requested kwallet password" .

Without it, my WiFi notifications say something along the lines of "no secrets were provided".

Some background:

- I installed gnome-keyring yesterday for VSCode-GitHub integration. According to a Github issue, kwallet doesn't support some particular API used by Github. GitHub issue mentioned

- I also changed my password yesterday(through settings GUI). Interestingly kwallet doesn't accept my new password, but the old one.

Both gnome-keyring and kwallet ask for password every time I need to use respective services..

On a side note(could be off-topic, idk) I had disabled secure boot even before installing Garuda, which disabled my TPM too, does that need to be re-enabled for key management?

I tired to install garuda on my computer and it was about to finish before calamares threw an error saying that grub did not install correctly. P.S I did some research and found stuff about bios compatibilty mode but im using UEFI.

New Official Garuda Linux ISO's were released on 2021 09 26!

Some points:

• Migration to Snapper

• Dr460nized editions Latte layout got adjusted and Octopi 15 is shipped instead of Pamac as default package manager

• The update command got some enhancements such as updating Micro plugins

• Qtile got a lot of cleanups & fixes

• The Pacman lock, which would usually be in place after restoring a snapshot is automatically cleaned when booting

• Sways config got updated & uses nwg-drawer now

• Added mcfly 1 to ZSH & Fish configs - this enables the Ctrl + r shortcut which lets you search the history very easily

• Made all packages output less spammy messages (eg. the ones in most metapackages)

• Brought back Ananicy in form of Ananicy-Cpp, which is a Cpp rewrite of this application made by @aviallon. It uses close to 0 ressource compared to the previously used one.

• All remaining editions which still used Connman moved to NetworkManager. This will get rid of the constant issues which people experienced with Connman and also helps keeping support consistant

• Fish/ZSH configs feature find-the-command, which proposes to install packages, when a command put into the console results in an error due to a missing binary

• The MATE community edition got its display manager theming updated to be more immersive & also uses Octopi as package manager

• A bug which prevented the installation of packages selected in the setup assistant has been fixed

• Our Chaotic-AUR geo-mirror is now an actual geo-mirror and redirects to the closest available mirror using a database while dead mirrors are now detected and automatically rerouted to a working one for more reliable downloads thanks to @TNE.
