NVIDIA issues with laptops and external monitors
by Giovanni Santini 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

Hi all, I've decided to fix my Xorg issue today and I solved as per my message here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2090064#p2090064 Meanwhile, I did some web searching and found all of these: - https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/error-gpu-idling-display-engine-timed… - https://groups.google.com/g/linux.debian.bugs.dist/c/NmUU4ck8k1E - https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/419 I am curious where we can "open a bug" towards NVIDIA, if anyone did that already. Also, should I link it to an Arch bug report so that maintainers can track it? Bests, Giovanni

Any custom configuration or special packages on your side? I don't think I have any special config. Audio has been a bit of trouble from the beginning on this workstation. It's a ThinkPad X1. Perhaps it might help to give a bit of a background on what triggered the issue. Initially, the mic was working fine. What I had installed was ALSA, pipewire and pavucontrol. Recently, I got a bluetooth earphones. So, I installed the bluez-util pkg to connect to the earphones. Then, I removed pavucontrol, installed pipewire-alsa. My bluetooth earphone audio was working fine, and on the same day, the mic on teams (on Vivaldi web browser) worked as well. By the next day, it had stopped working (probably because of rebooting). Even for Slack web app mic was not working. Then, I removed Vivaldi, all the chromium config, and installed chromium browser. Then, mic started working for Slack, but not for teams. When I try to use teams on Firefox, mic works. But, my audio no longer works. All I hear when someone speaks is static. What a mess this app is... -- Regards, Sadeep PGP: 103BF9E3E750BF7E

Libssl error with dotnet sdk
by Sadeep Madurange 09 Mar '23

09 Mar '23

I apologize in advance for the noise as this may well be an issue with dotnet. I'm trying to build a project that uses SDK version 3.1. When I ran the build command, I got the error "No usable version of libssl was found". Installing libssl-1.1 let me get past this error. But now I'm getting the following error making me wonder if I need to do anything more than just installing libssl-1.1: Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 16.7.2+b60ddb6f4 for .NET Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Determining projects to restore...

Dual Root setup
by Genes Lists 07 Mar '23

07 Mar '23

I know there's lots of info available about dual boot - but not much I could find on Dual Root. What is Dual Root? This is a machine with 2 "root" disks where the second one is a hot standby - in event of root disk failure the second disk can be booted very quickly. This makes recovering very fast and thereafter replacing the bad drive and rebuilding very straightforward. And no new install needed! I have now set this up on a few machines and its working well - so I wrote up some notes and am sharing them in case others who may be interested in doing something similar might find them useful. My notes explaining how to do this are available here: https://github.com/gene-git/blog best gene

Dino Arch Package
by Polarian 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Hello, I notice you have not been updating the Dino arch linux package, and it is now been a few months. Is there any reason for this package being delayed. I have onlisted this and sent this directly to the maintainer, so if any others know the reasons they can respond too. If the package is not going to be maintained, could it be moved into the AUR so I can adopt it and show it some love :) Thanks, -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian(a)polarian.dev

amdgpu issue: where to report?
by Giovanni Santini 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

Hi everyone, I am currently having multiple issues with my latpop, which has an integrated AMD C+GPU and an NVIDIA discrete card. The main problem I have is that the GPU freaks out of nowhere and start blanking. I noticed this happens mostly in Wayland, in X11 instead I have a missing monitor in my multi-monitor setup. I got the system logs from journalctl and I am wondering whether I should open an issue against ArchLinux "linux" package, the "amdgpu" one or shoul I contact upstream directly. I think one of the first two is best, I wanted to double check. Bests, Giovanni

[arch-general] thunar reporting no gvs on wayland/wayfire
by Javier 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

Hi ! For those using thunar or nemo under wayland, but not through gnome neither kde, do you know how to make them work with gvfs. On thunar, at least on advanced preferences I can see a big note on yellow warning about the lack of gvfs. On Xorg, with LXQt, thunar doesn't complain at all, and show the trash, and the FS correctly, of course no warnings about gvfs on the advanced preferences. I have gvfs and a bunch of its plugins already installed. An alternative is using nautilus, but it's not respecting $GDK_DPI_SCALE env var, and the gsettings for gnome do not work, so I can't really read the tiny letters. But it does show the trash, so I guess no problems with it. Any one using a gui file manager, hopefully gtk, with gvfs, under wayland/wayfire, and working fine? Thanks ! -- Javier
