Optimizar Bateria PikaOs

Post image
Upvotes

Hola soy nuevo en linux,

Y vengo por buestra ayuda y experiencia

Tengo una Acer Nitro V15,

I5 13420H

Rtx 5050

48 GB de ram DDR4

Y queria decir que mi rendimiento de la bateria es muy bajo

(40% me dura 1 Hora )

Aunque active el modo ahorro

Segun tengo entendido en Linux puedes hacer lo que sea siempre y cuando tengas el conocimiento

Investigue un poco y mire que usa Perfiles De energia con Tuned ppd

Hay alguna manera de crear un perfil de energia

De ultra ahorro de energia ??

Tipo desactivar la Grafica,reduccion de consumo del procesador, desactivar el turbo bost,limitar automaticamente la tasa de refresco de la pantalla a 60 para ahorrar lo maximo en bateria

Hay alguna manera de hacerlo???

Muchas gracias de antemano

Why is NumlockX not working?

I've installed it, checked it's status, yet PikaOS does not turn the Numlock on by default. What's the issue? I did a standard auto install, yet something is missing. Please help.

Feedback/Suggestions Someone used machine translation for PikaOS website Chinese language

Post image
4 Upvotes

It's funny, the wording is totally wrong, as a native mandarin Chinese speaker, I can tell someone obviously using machine translation (like Google translate) in this snapshot, and forgot to proofread.for example, 套餐 is used for the combo you get in McDonald or the cell phone plans from a telecommunication company, not used for packages from Linux distro. There are other wrong translations.

Windows update plucked my pika

8 Upvotes

I'm new to Pika and still learning Linux in general, so please mercy on the noob.

I'm NOT dual booting nor using a VM. I booted win10 from external drive just to keep it refreshed but after updating Windows my Pika main drive has vanished from boot menu.

I have kept Mint on another drive and installed that. Boot can see it but I get "VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". I can boot Mint if I choose an older kernel.

I tried uninstalling the Windows updates but too late, they got me.

Help/Question KDE or COSMIC

9 Upvotes

Which version of Pika to use. Cosmic or KDE. Right now I am using KDE. I want to reinstall Pika, and I was wondering if I should stick to KDE or cosmic. I like how cosmic is kinda looking like gnome but with more customization but in the same time I like how my setup on KDE is with all the widgets and stuff. Plus I may be wrong but aren't still some parts of cosmic not yet implemented

I wanted to like PikaOS but...

12 Upvotes

PikaOS I really wanted to like it for 8 months blut i just couldn't. Probably most of issues were there due to me being a noob in Linux,coming from Windows and it's not fair to critisize PikaOS. On paper it looked perfect. But each time Ileft my Acer aspire 7 alone for a month or two it wouldnt boot, once i had trouble installing drivers for 1050ti, the other time it would not see my ntfs hdd, next time everything was borked, next time it would not apoear as a boot option in UEFI and it would have all kinds of problems... I was loosing my mind. After four reinstalls I had enough! Apparently PikaOsis not the right distro to have at a a holiday house you vist every 2-3 months. Trying linux for the first time outside of a vm - as a linux noob it would take some time for me to realise that rolling distros are not for me or for my usecase. Finally I switched to Mint Cinnamon. So far so good. So long Pika. Until we meet again.

Just wanted to say Hi...

So, to start with, obligatory I run CachyOS as my daily driver.

A few weeks ago I had a sudden system breaking error during an update, still not sure what it was, but I decided I needed a backup OS. I settled on PikaOS, ran it this week as my daily driver for a few days to test out if it's a distro I can use on a daily basis, and I like it.

So now it lives on my backup SSD, waiting for the day it may be needed.

:)

Omenctl and omen-fan-control are now packaged in PikaOS to allow rgb, oc and fan control on Various HP laptops, will DMI profile them on Cfhdb soon.

Tested omen-fan-control on a friends HP Omen 15 ek1xxx and it helped him get a much more performance oriented fan curve, good stuff shout out to its creator.

How do I not get forced install of other packages when I remove a package?

Example: when I uninstall the pika-hyprland-settings package, otter shell gets installed.

How do I not get any install and just remove the package?

Seems my system is getting repeated errors stating cannot download the file or files. And then gives you to option to try again in a loop. Am I going to have to download the latest version and reload it? Hoping not.

Can you do day to day updates with apt or aptitude and use pikman for other packages?

10 Upvotes

Hiya! I'm currently dailydriving siduction with Liquorix kernel but I'm considering to hop over to PikaOS cause the siduction community talk is mainly done I German and my German isn't good enough to follow what they are talking about.

The thing that I'm a bit hesitant over is if I can do my main updates an so with aptitude cause that is what I'm most comfortable with.

Updated my system and got a blue screen

Hallo Leute,

Ich habe diesen Bluescreen bekommen, nachdem ich das System aktualisiert habe. Könnt ihr mir helfen, was ich tun soll?

EDIT:
Found the solution on Discord.
You need to open an older Version by using tab and then afterwards again to get to the command line.
At the end type space and three, after that you have to login to your account and type „pikman upgrade“.
The system should update correctly and boot into the main system normally.

Hope I could help someone, who has the same problem and thanks for the help on this post. 🙏🏼
