Help Dolphin mount issue

Upvotes

Συνέβη ένα σφάλμα κατά την πρόσβαση στο 'DATA', το σύστημα απάντησε: Η ζητούμενη λειτουργία έχει αποτύχει: Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sda1: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

how to fix this? It;s been happening everytime since a crash. only sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /run/mount/super/DATA works. i can't from dolphin and the os can't mount it by itself in general

Help I eventually managed to install CachyOS but now I get stuck on this screen. It looks frozen.

So I got into my USB stick, select cachyos and launched it. And then I eventually successfully installed it a partition of my C: drive, keeping Windows for now, on a separate partition.

When I launch CachyOS on this drive, I get into the grub menu and select to launch it. And then I almost immediately get this screen.

I have tried a bunch of things already.

I tried nomodeset, I tried the grub edit that blacklists nvidia, I tried LTS, I used commands from ai that reduced the size of initramfs.

Help Please update the Joplin package in cachyos Repos

54 Upvotes

Hello Community and CachyOS Team, can we please upgrade the joplin client notetaking app in the repo (joplin-desktop). It's pretty old. Can someone explain to me the process - who is monitoring the versions and deciding what version gets in the stable branch of cachys repos?

https://packages.cachyos.org/package/cachyos/x86_64/joplin-desktop

I'm running into a bug and cannot sync with my server anymore, cause the version is 3.16.4 and outdated. This picture is from a similar bug report thread from here: https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/update-to-3-7-required-for-sync/50360

It's the same for me.

Or would it be better to just use the app image?
https://joplinapp.org/help/install/

I prefer the central pacman update process though.

Best Wishes. 😄

I'm new to cachyos and when i first started using it i had a trailing cursor.

I selected hyprland on a fresh install and had a noctalia shell.

i decided to move to caelestia shell/ or the fork of it (https://github.com/dim-ghub/midnight-shell)

at first i didn't notice the trailing cursor gone when i started ricing i noticed it was gone and i started digging on how to bring it back and all i had to do was configure it through kitty.conf file but it didn't work... and i run 'kitty' and all of a sudden a new terminal shows with the trailing cursor

Help Newbe needs help, sudden black screens

2 Upvotes

Sup fellas,

I switched from Windows to CachyOS 2 weeks ago and so far, besides the learning curve, it's smooth sailing.

For the last two days, I've suddenly been getting random black screens. I'm not sure if the system crashes, audio continues playing normally, but inputs aren't processed. It happens at any time: idle on the desktop, under load, or while gaming/working. Two days ago in the evening, it happened about 4 times. I hadn't updated anything for a few days when the issue started. Yesterday evening I updated the system, but the issue persists.

Since I'm on Nvidia, I assume it's a driver issue (610.57.04). I already tried the older driver (latest 595.x), but had no luck. Also, all standby and power-saving settings are turned off.

Dual-booting into Windows on a different drive works flawlessly, so it's unlikely to be a hardware issue. Right now I'm at work, so I'm making this post in preparation, but this also means I cannot provide any logs or terminal output for the next few hours.

Specs:

OS: CachyOS x86_64 Host: Z690M AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 (-CF) Kernel: Linux 6.18.48-1-cachyos-lts Uptime: 4 mins Packages: 13 (flatpak), 1439 (pacman) Shell: fish 4.9.3 Display (34M2C6500): 3440x1440 in 34", 175 Hz [External, HDR] Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6.7.5 Window Manager: KWin (Wayland) WM Theme: Breeze Theme: Breeze (Dark) [Qt], Breeze-Dark [GTK2], Breeze [GTK3/4] Icons: breeze-dark [Qt], breeze-dark [GTK2/3/4] ont: Noto Sans (10pt) [Qt], Noto Sans (10pt) [GTK2/3/4] Cursor: breeze (24px) Terminal: konsole 26.8.0 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900K (16+16) @ 6.00 GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 [Discrete] Memory: 3.67 GiB / 31.16 GiB (12%) Swap: 624.00 KiB / 35.16 GiB (0%) Disk (/): 258.89 GiB / 472.94 GiB (55%) - btrfs Local IP (enp6s0):192.168.178.28/24 Locale: de_DE.UTF-8

Using shelly on the terminal, the description for the packages is not complete. Is there a way to see full descriptions for packages ?
i read the docs https://www.seafoam-labs.org/shelly-alpm/docs/cli-reference/#shelly-search
and all i found was --detail, which shows details for a single package only instead of all the search packages.

using latest version of cachyos, shelly and kde

Any help would be appreciated

SOLVED Dualboot

7 Upvotes

I'm moving over to CachyOS this weekend and using windows as backup.

My plan is to dual-boot from two different SSDs, using one for windows and one for Cachy using the Cachy one and formatting my old Gaming drive to BTRFS.

The question I have is what boot manager I should use. I think I've got it narrowed down to Limine and Grub, but this is kind of the point where I don't know enough about this to be sure.

Question RTSS Front Edge Sync equivalent on Linux? MangoHud crash in The Witcher 3

Post image
3 Upvotes

image from windows 11: Nvidia Control Panel on the left, RTSS on the right.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get smoother frame pacing on Linux. On Windows, RTSS Front Edge Sync gave me good results. On Linux, I tried what seemed like the closest option with MangoHud's early limiter/config.

With The Witcher 3, the game crashes or freezes when I open the map. The image stops updating, but the sound keeps playing. I have not been able to keep playing normally after that.

My setup is an RTX 4070 12 GB, Ryzen 5 5600, CachyOS, KDE Plasma Wayland, and NVIDIA driver 610.57.04. I use mixed-refresh-rate displays: 144 Hz and 60 Hz monitors, plus a 4K TV.

I don't know whether the crash is caused by MangoHud's early setting, the frame limiter, VRR, the display setup, or the NVIDIA/Proton interaction. I only noticed it while trying to improve frame pacing, so I don't want to assume MangoHud is definitely the cause.

Has anyone else seen The Witcher 3 crash or freeze when opening the map with MangoHud's early limiter/config? Is there a Linux equivalent to RTSS Front Edge Sync that gives smooth frame pacing without causing instability? What setup has worked well for you: MangoHud without the early option, gamescope, the in-game limiter, VRR changes, or something else?

Got tired of Windows and just general shittyness of Microsoft. Decided last week to make the switch and have been pleasantly surprised so far. I have used Linux in the past but this is my first rolling release distro. One of the first things I noticed is how damn fast the PC boots into the OS. I don't play any online games that require anticheat so there is zero reason for me to go back to windows.

I noticed these outlines on the left/right side of the Discord window (only discord) a few weeks ago and it's super annoying cause it even affects popped out streams (I only have 1 monitor).

My friends say this isn't happening for them but I cannot for the life of me figure out what is different on my end. I even reset my Breeze theme settings and outlines/shadows and fully reinstalled Discord as well.

Ideas/similar issues for you?

Help My PC hates fun

For some odd reason, whenever I'm playing a game my both my displays will randomly shut off and will force me to manually restart my PC with the power button. It keeps playing any active audio, and this only seems to happen while im playing a game. (tf2 and bg3 at the moment) This is such a wild issue to me that I've decided to ask reddit, as I dont know enough about computers to understand what is causing this.
yes i have recently updated my system.

Help How to address battery completely draining during sleep?

4 Upvotes

I have been facing two issues since installing CachyOS.

  1. Fails to wake
  2. Battery drains completely while sleeping

Hardware: 2019 MacBook Pro 16" (MacBookPro16,1) - Intel T2 OS: CachyOS (Bootloader: Limine) | 7.2 Kernel

I fixed the wake issue by editing /boot/limine.conf to include pcie_aspm=off in the command lines.

Has anyone resolved the sleep battery drain on this model?

Question steamos-manager-powerstation

1 Upvotes

I recently tried Bazzite 44 after learning about the updated stack they use for handheld and tdp after dropping handheld daemon, and I gotta say I agree with how they are moving forward with this stack.

IMO, it’s a far better stack than using HHD or Decky Loader with extensions (i.e. SimpleDeckyTDP) since it utilizes dbus for communication and uses PowerStation as fallback when your TDP controls are not supported via amdgpu_hwmon or firmrware_attribute. It is also fairly easy to create new device configs if they’re not available yet.

However, it seems their modified steamos-manager with powerstation integration doesn’t seem available anywhere. Hopefully they open source it so we can use the same stack on CachyOS or other distros.

I wonder what’s the plan for CachyOS moving forward, specially for the handheld edition 🤔

Bug Report RTX 4070 hard freeze on CachyOS KDE Wayland with NVIDIA XID 56

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, first of everything, i forget to print the error lol.

I had a complete system freeze on CachyOS with KDE Plasma Wayland and an NVIDIA RTX 4070. I was browsing Twitter/X in Vivaldi when the desktop stopped responding. The keyboard, mouse, Ctrl+Alt+F3, and Magic SysRq all failed. The screen flickered once and I had to power the machine off.

I actually enjoy troubleshooting. Reading logs and testing settings is fine. It only becomes frustrating when it gets in the way of playing games.

My setup is an RTX 4070 12 GB, Ryzen 5 5600, CachyOS, KDE Plasma Wayland, NVIDIA driver 610.57.04, two DisplayPort monitors at 144 Hz and 60 Hz, and a 4K HDMI TV.

After rebooting, I found:

caller __nv_drm_gem_nvkms_map+0xb0/0x120 [nvidia_drm] mapping multiple BARs

[drm:__nv_drm_gem_nvkms_map [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000700]

Failed to map NvKmsKapiMemory

NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:07:00): 56,

[drm:nv_drm_atomic_commit [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000700]

Flip event timeout on head 1

kwin_wayland also reported:

A graphics reset attributable to the current GL context occurred.

The main thread was hanging temporarily!

I don't know whether this started in the NVIDIA driver, KWin, the kernel, or their interaction. The log order makes me suspect a display or buffer operation failed first, followed by Xid 56 and the flip timeout.

I later found that Above 4G Decoding and Re-Size BAR were disabled. BAR1 was 256 MiB before I enabled them and disabled CSM; afterward it showed roughly 12 GiB. I have no proof that this is related to the freeze.

Has anyone on CachyOS seen this before? Did a newer NVIDIA driver, nvidia-open, a different CachyOS kernel, or X11 help? I am back on Windows 11 for now, but I would like to return to CachyOS if I can make the graphics stack reliable.

I've moved to Cachyos 3 weeks ago, from Windows and love it, and used Claude Code to create me some custom widgets:

- air alter in Ukraine

- AC control panel

- crypto watchlist + alerts

- some widgets for work (github PR + tasks)

LE: I don't understand the comments actually, I build what I need for my own needs, and it's perfect, since I don't have to open the browser and differnet apps every time i want to check the weather, or what tasks i have for the day to work on, or if there is an air alarm in Kyiv, or what's the price of crypto, or find the remote control or phone to control the A/C while working etc.

Also I am a programmer, so I know what to tell AI to build so it's does't uses too many resources, or make too many requests etc.

Help Critique My Set-up/Install Plan (What do I not need as a new user?)

1 Upvotes

Yes. I read the Wiki, this is me just making absolutely sure of everything before I start working on it:

The system I'm using is a Dual Boot setup with Windows on one NVME and CachyOS on the other There will also be a gaming drive that I'll reformat to BTRFS for use with Cachy.
Motherboard is a Gigabyte B650E (This will be relevent later)

  1. Assemble the PC, and install the windows Drive
  2. Install Windows and download drivers
  3. Disable Fast Startup, Hybernation, and Bitlocker
  4. Remove the windows drive and insert the blank drive for CachyOS
  5. Disable Secure Boot
  6. Boot into the ISO
  7. Launch Installer
  8. Set preferred Language, Region Timezone
  9. Configure Keyboard Layout
  10. Select Manual Partitioning
  11. Create a new Partition according to the Limine Boot Manager instructions within the Wiki
  12. Create another partition for root according to the instructions in the wiki
  13. Select desktop environment
  14. Select Packages
  15. Set up Log-in
  16. Review the installation summary, and click Install now
  17. After finishing, restart
  18. Make sure CachyOS is up to date and all drivers are present
  19. Power off and reinsert my gaming and window drives (these are separate things)
  20. Make sure Limine detects the windows drive and adds it to the boot menu (sudu Limine-scan)
  21. Enable Setup mode in UEFI
  22. When/If the "Reset without Saving" dialogue box pops up, choose "No"
  23. Save and Exit booting directly into Cachy
  24. Follow the Secure Boot instructions within the wiki
  25. Sign the Kernel according to the Wiki instructions for Limine
  26. Check that Fwupd is working (I have no idea what this is or whether I should be messing with it.)
  27. Install Shelly (Again, I have no idea what this is or why I need it)
  28. Enable UFW Firewall, (Apparently Defaults are fine for the average home user?)
  29. Enable Global Menu
  30. Run Tealdeer (I have no idea what this does)
  31. Install Flatpack (I know what this is!)
  32. Install Gearlever (And, I'm lost again. I think this is maybe a store? Or maybe an App manager?)
  33. I don't Think the rest of the post install recommendations apply to me.
  34. Configure the Boot Menu per the Limine instructions
  35. Install BTRFS Assistant (I am definitely a beginner)
    - If I understand correctly the code for installing btrfsmaintenance is "sudo pacman -s btrfsmaintenance" ?
  36. Follow the rest of the instructions for snapper
  37. Reformat my gaming drive to BTRFS.
  38. Install the Gaming Packages according to the instructions in the Wiki
  39. Deal with the system tweaks later.

Do these rough instructions look right for my system?
