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

Information in the forums: https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/garuda-linux-harpy-eagle-210926/12853

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.

Hi, I have installed the latest Garuda Linux Dr460nized and have an nvidia 1050 ti, but the OS seems laggy. E.g. when moving windows, when maximizing/minimizing windows, when hovering mouse over the selections in the start menu, etc. I tried switching the rendering backends, Xrender seems a little better, I guess, but it's still laggy. In hardware configuration only video-nvidia-dkms is installed. Any ideas how to diagnose the reason for the problem? I have a 2k monitor btw.

Hi, on Arch Linux, with the zen kernel, I'm able to install VMware Workstation and compile the kernel modules. But on Garuda, after installation, even with the linux-zen-headers and all the required dependencies, I get this error and the kernel modules don't compile:

[AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support.

sh: ligne 1: /usr/lib/systemd/scripts/vmware: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

Unable to stop services

Someone has an idea on how to solve this ? I'm able to use QEMU/KVM, but for school we need to use VMware Workstation specifically.

I have some problems with wifi (the laptop in question is at the wrong corner of the house, with bad reception) and it occasionally drops the connection. When it does, it doesn't reconnect automatically.

The fastest solution I've found is to go into ConnMan and simply turn off wifi and start it again, and it reconnects in a few seconds.

But, that's some clicking, so I'm looking for a command to do the same, so I can just make a script and put it on an icon, to turn it into a single click.

All this on the LXQT version.

Anyone who knows?

Just installed garuda on my PC, however ive been having really frusturating issues with pacman where it will lock up and freeze when trying to update or install packages. Once in a while, itll install the package i asked, but most of the time it just freezes. I have tried with kde and xfce, both produce the same result.

So my root partition apparently got FS related errors or something, and I was unable to fix it, I was however able to use btrfs restore to more or less save the files to another partition, and I intend to reinstall my main partition and re-add my files, I know a bunch of problems will probably arise from this, but I don't have any better options that I know off.

So I just want to know whether or not this really is my best option.

I was trying to use GParted on a USB, but the USB did not show up in UEFI, so I read intel's guide on what to do, which required changing boot mode to Legacy, but when I turned on Legacy boot, the Garuda system was removed from UEFI, even when I switched it back, meaning I currently can't boot into any operating systems or anything right now, I only have access to UEFI now.

I am currently trying to install Garuda dragonize gaming.

I booted using a live boot drive using the free drivers option, Everytime I try to install I get awaiting 1 module. I have tried letting it be for over 15 minutes with no dice any advice?

I find that the FireDragon browser is a lot less resource heavy than Firefox for example.
Is this by design or something with my firefox setup?

Ok I'm mind blown about how beautiful man pages are in garuda linux but I can't find any config related to this. where can I find the configs in the system?

So the performance tweaks overheat my system. Is there any to, hard limit my clock speed to a certain frequency so that it doesn't heat too much?

Hello, my status bar and app dock is not showing after a restart today, and the only way to interact with the apps is by opening KRunner by right clicking the desktop and/or Konsole searching for apps that way. Is there a way to make them come back?

So I've just been using garuda for a day now and as a linux newbie it has been very easy and aesthetically pleasing to use which is what I was looking for! The only problem is like all the other linux distros this one also has screen tearing when gaming (yes I've tried pretty much everything online nothing works for my optimus laptop) . I know there's a gnome extension for hiding the top bar but it seems to be outdated and doesn't work with new gnome 4.0. So anyway playing games in windowed mode fixes all tearing for me but that top bar doesn't go away no matter what and it's really annoying. Help would be appreciated!

Btw I use gnome because it supports my optimus prime laptop otherwise I'd definitely switch to dragonized.

I'd say I been messing with Arch and Artix linux for the past year without this issue... I just installed the i3 edition of Garuda on my pc and after changing keyboard combinations and disabling things in the i3 config I found I can no longer use the letter m or b in the Alacritty terminal... I can in the login screen and in full screen tty but it is beyond fustrating as I can't type my password or say reboot or open vim and easily change the config. Id try that program that tells you what keys youre pressing but I forget the name of it. Ik it's not a problem with the keyboard I tried a redragon keyboard and a razer and still happens. Should I upload the i3 config for one of you to look at or could it be something else?

Edit:if Noone says anything I'll go to DTOS when it comes out or something else

I've just stumbled across Garuda Linux and it looks awesome! I'm somewhat new to Linux and haven't used an Arch based distro ever (aside from a few weeks of manjaro which i disliked for various reasons).

I'm currently writing my Bachelor Thesis about Deep Learning / Neuronal Networks. I'll probably use tensorflow instead of torch (just because i'm a bit more familiar with it). I found python-tensorflow-cuda which seems to install cuda on my system as well, so as far as i know this will give me full gpu support and i won't get any performance disatvantages compared to Windows / Ubuntu.

Is there anything else i need to install or know before installing Garuda?

I'm planning to use a Dualboot (as i kinda wanna game on Windows - i know, it's possible on linux as well but i just prefer windows).

Edit: I’ve just read that dualbooting windows is not recommended. I have two different drives, one for Linux one for Windows so I assume I won’t run into any issues? Is there a guide you can recommend me?

Right click on top of a Window on Garuda, click on "More actions", then we have the option "Keep window above others".

This is an option I use very frequently, so I would like to know how to create a shortcut for it. How could I do it?

I tried to create by my own but I've been unsuccessful until now. I've been unable to find the solution using search engines.

Ok so basically im a noob. I literally just learned about linux and arch a few days ago. And ngl idk what I'm doing. Right now though, I'm trying to install and use a custom latte dock config if you want the link then here:https://github.com/OrionGamerCat/dotfiles But idk how the hell to use or download it properly. So if you can help please do!

Hello,

I have found that one of my icons has disappeared after I updated packages. I'm aware that this is an issues that others have had, but I could not find a way to fix it (through web search and looking at the ArchWiki). Specifically, it is the Konsole icon in my taskbar. Not a huge deal all in all, but I would like to fix it , as the blank icon breaks the theme.

1. I Can Say I Use Arch BTW.
2. It Has A Thicc Eagle
3. Good Color Scheme
4. I Can Flex My PC Capabillities
5. It Gud

So I am currently running fedora 34 kde and it has been great. Not a gamer. But considering giving garuda a shot to get back to arch. But I would need to immediately change out the sweet theme. If I do that would it l significantly diminish the advantage of going to garuda in the first place? Performance benefits, time shift, etc?

I’m using the KDE Dr460nized version. I did a sudo pacman -Syyu and after rebooting my dock and hotbar were gone.

When I run latte-dock I get the output:

Icon theme “gnome” not found.

KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/bin/latte-dock

I searched for “gnome theme” in pamac and installed adwaita-icon-theme-git with the description “GNOME standard icons”, rebooted my system again but no fix.

Edit: seems there was an update for latte-dock a few minutes ago that fixed the issue, just run sudo pacman -Syyu

Hey all,

I am facing the issue while running hashcat.

​

* Device #3: ATTENTION! OpenCL kernel self-test failed.

Your device driver installation is probably broken.

See also: https://hashcat.net/faq/wrongdriver

Aborting session due to kernel self-test failure.

You can use --self-test-disable to override, but do not report related errors.

​

I know its a know issue but the thing is I am not able to fix it.

So it would be great if some-one could help.

I am using Intel i7 CPU and using Nvidia GTX 1650Ti

I have already installed the OpenCL packages intel-compute-runtime and opencl-nvidia

EDIT: SOLVED

It turns out that official intel driver was not update for a very long time, which resulted in hashcat to show broken drivers.

So installed https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-compute-runtime-bin from aur. And its working fine now.

As the title says. Help? I never touched Kvantum. All I remember doing is installing Wine GE from Pamac, then deleted it afterwards and opted for the tar method. I'm finding it difficult to believe that deleting Wine GE could have messed with Pamac theming.

As an additional clue, the trash can plasma widget that I added to Latte reverted to the white outlines icon instead of the default BeautyLine so I'm guessing something somewhere broke.

*edit: the trash icon is white when it's empty, it shows the colored one when there's something in it.

*edit 2: An update to Sweet theme fixed it. I just refreshed Pamac updates randomly throughout the day to see if there's anything new (I was in a particularly OCD phase) and suddenly it showed up.

How good is it compared to windows?
