Migration from LXD to Incus
by Bernd Rinn 06 Jan '24

06 Jan '24

Hi, I'm using LXD on Archlinux and want to migrate to Incus (https://linuxcontainers.org/incus) According to the Incus docs this is as simple as installing Incus alongside LXD and then calling the migration program lxd-to-incus, see https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/howto/server_migrate_lxd. However, when executing 'pacman -S incus', I get the message 'incus and lxd are in conflict. Remove lxd?'. So it looks like the migration program lxd-to-incus will not work under Archlinux because one cannot install both packages in parallel. What the proper way of migrating from LXD to Incus under Archlinux? All the best, Bernd

milkv-duo duo-buildroot-sdk builds FINE of Arch! genext2fs is only AUR pkg required
by David C. Rankin 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

Arch is Good! For those considering tinkering with the milkV-duo boards, the documentation says it can only be built on Ubuntu and only on version 22.04 to avoid build issues. Nonsense, Archlinux is just fine. For those interested, the only AUR package needed is genext2fs. Other than that the normal Arch build tools are all that is needed. If you built for 2+ hours and then had packaging crash, don't worry, just build and install genext2fs, open the build.sh file, comment the 'get_toolchain' and 'milkv_build' lines and run it again - it will complete without issue (essentially makepkg -R). Experience is a good teacher. <snip couple of hours of build output> ... INFO: hdimage(milkv-duo.img): adding partition 'rootfs' (in MBR) from 'rootfs.ext4' ... INFO: hdimage(milkv-duo.img): adding partition 'empty' (in MBR) ...

Archlinux man pages, CSS format for <pre> blocks causing lines to wrap?
by David C. Rankin 30 Dec '23

30 Dec '23

Archdevs, Not sure where this should go, but the CSS for <pre> in https://man.archlinux.org/man/tmpfiles.d.5.en is causing the information to wrap. Changing zoom or browser window size doesn't change the width of the <pre> blocks and the text wraps in an awkward fashion, e.g. <pre>#Type Path Mode User Group Age Argument f /file/to/create mode user group - content f+ /file/to/create-or-truncate mode user group - content ... It literally looks as shown in this e-mail with fixed font: <pre>#Type Path Mode User Group Age Argument f /file/to/create mode user group - content Not a big deal, but I'm used to seeing the Arch pages well laid-out and not subject to css hiccups. Tried in both Firefox and Brave browsers, same result. Anybody else see this? Just passing the info along so it can be passed to the right person if tweaking is warranted. To all a good 2024! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] pcmanfm-gtk3 no longer working on wayland?
by Javier 30 Dec '23

30 Dec '23

Hi ! pcmanfm-gtk3 is segfaulting on wayland when trying to access any directory. I don't know if others are experiencing the same. The alternative I've been using is thunar, though I really liked pcmanfm-gtk3. Is there a work around? Although I don't like it, I also tried "GDK_BACKEND=x11 pcmanfm" and it also segfaults... Have others experience the same? Greetings ! -- Javier

[arch-general][waybar] simple quick launch buttons
by Javier 30 Dec '23

30 Dec '23

Happy holidays ! AFAIK waybar doesn't offer quick launch buttons, but it does offer custom modules, which one can use to mimic such buttons. I'm using custom modules in a pretty simple way, for example for librewolf (I didn't find an awesome icon font for it, so using the FF one): > "custom/librewolf": { > "format": "", > "interval": "once", > "on-click": "librewolf", > }, I have some other ones for other applications. I do use keybindings as well, and I can use wofi to search for the applications, but none of them are really alternatives for other users. It does work ! However I was looking for a very simple way to add what official modules, like a "tooltip-format" which is part of the official modules. Not sure why on earth it's not part of the custom modules. So for example, I'd look for something similar to: > "custom/librewolf": { > "format": "", > "tooltip-format" "Firefox Browser" > "interval": "once", > "on-click": "librewolf", > }, So that if someone doesn't recognize the awesome font icon, one could just find out by the tip shown when getting the mouse on top of the button. As this is not supported. Is there any simple way to do that? Hopefully not requiring to add several scripts just for this. Something that might be part os such snippet, and pretty simple would be great, :) Please let me know of suggestions. Thanks ! -- Javier

Subject: [Part 1] These are the guides I have followed to install Arch Linux with Linux Kernel 6.6.7 and GNOME on my refurbished Aftershock gaming laptop Good day from Singapore, I have <<<successfully>>> installed Arch Linux with Linux Kernel 6.6.7 and GNOME Desktop Environment on 19 Dec 2023 Tuesday late night (crossing midnight) using the following guides. These guides should be followed in sequence. [1] Installation guide Link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide [2] Pacman Link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman [3] Network configuration Link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration [4] GRUB Link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Generate_the_main_configuration_file [5] General recommendations Link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_recommendations [6] [Solved] Bring eth interface up automatically Link: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=251669 [7] How To Add Route on Linux Link: https://devconnected.com/how-to-add-route-on-linux/ [8] How to Install GNOME in Arch Linux Link: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/arch-linux-gnome [9] How to Use the Arch Linux Network Manager Link: https://linuxhint.com/arch_linux_network_manager/ [10] mp4 support Link: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88036 [11] Users and groups Link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/users_and_groups Over the next few days or the next few weeks, I will be installing Google Chrome web browser in Arch Linux and additionally configuring the sudoers file. I have also taken 92 screenshots with my vivo V25 Pro 5G mobile phone so far. Arch Linux is very very tedious and time consuming to install. It can only be installed using the Command Line. Fortunately I am very familiar with the Linux Command Line. After installing Arch Linux successfully, it gives you a sense of satisfaction. Thank you.

Plasma application dump
by Shridhar Daithankar 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

Hello, I run KDE plasma under wayland. On several occasions, the applications crash. The front runners are akregator,kontact etc. Usually, I find a core dump associated with the crash with coredumpctl. Where can I report the crashes/back trace/core dump to help those projects? Should it be arch bug tracker or upstream? -- Thanks and Regards Shridhar
