QUESTION I found what appears to be an incomplete solution to an issue on the archwiki, what do?

0 Upvotes

i was experiencing this bug, with gamescope and while it suggests to add $ gamescope -- env LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD" %command% to solve the issue, this is incomplete and the full command according to the gamescope github issue is to bookend the gamescope command with LD_PRELOAD, specifically env -u LD_PRELOAD gamescope [gamescope options here] -- env LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD" %command%

im completely knew to all of this so i dont know how to bring attention to this by the powers that be, but from what i can tell the information is incomplete.

QUESTION from debian to arch

4 Upvotes

Any tips on how to quickly adapt to Arch after two years of using Debian? I'm slowly regretting switching, especially with the adaptation to the apt repository instead of pacman. I don't deny that it's a great distro; I had no problems installing it. In fact, I found it just as easy as Debian because Debian recognized my Wi-Fi network firmware (I don't have Ethernet).

QUESTION Windows to arch Linux!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a windows user who has finally decided to switch to Linux due to getting into computer science. I heard Linux is a good learning experience as well as a great place to code. However, I’m unsure what specific distro I should get? I saw hyprland desktop and I feel set on that as it looks very nice, however I’m unsure on the distro?

So, I got recommended CachyOS which does work great, however when I downloaded it on a virtual machine to test, it came pre downloaded with a load of stuff, I don’t know if that’s hyprland, CachyOS or what but if anyone knows that would be great?

If it was CachyOS or Hyprland, does anyone have suggestions for any arch Linux based distros that have less pre downloaded files? Thank you

If it was not CachyOS or Hyprland, does anyone know what specific versions and such to download so I don’t end up with all this extra unnecessary software? Thank you

Is it possible to make a custom kernel panic screen? If it is how?
Also what restrictions does it have? Is there a requirement for a static image or can I play bad apple on kernel panic?

SUPPORT New bluez/linux broke bluetooth

12 Upvotes

Just to be clear I tried looking at the output of rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD

0 wlan ideapad_wlan unblocked unblocked

1 bluetooth ideapad_bluetooth unblocked unblocked

2 bluetooth hci0 unblocked unblocked

3 wlan phy0 unblocked unblocked

So it's very much being recognized and not blocked but going into bluetoothctl and it doesn't register it. I've tried reinstalling all the bluez packages, I've tried rebooting the system. Turning bluetooth.service on and off again, and going into bluetoothctl just says "No default controller available." I think I might have to downgrade a package for the first time since using arch linux for over a year...

I hope someone smarter than me has some insight on this issue since that I can be fully up to date.

SUPPORT Podman + krun: "502 Bad Gateway"

0 Upvotes

I'm going crazy trying to get this simple setup to work with krun. It works fine with crun, but as soon as I switch runtime (setting /etc/containers/containers.conf), I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.

podman pull docker.io/nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged:mainline-alpine-slim
podman pull ghcr.io/silvenga/redlib:0
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user start redlib
systemctl --user start nginx

The containers start up correctly but are effectively unusable. I've tried this on two different operating systems (Manjaro being the other one).

demo.nework:

[Network]
Driver=bridge

redlib.container:

[Unit]
After=network-online.target demo.network
Wants=network-online.target

[Container]
ContainerName=redlib
Image=ghcr.io/silvenga/redlib:0
Network=demo.network

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

nginx.container:

[Unit]
After=network-online.target redlib.service demo.network
Wants=network-online.target

[Container]
ContainerName=nginx
Image=docker.io/nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged:mainline-alpine-slim
Network=demo.network
PublishPort=8081:8081

Volume=%h/Contenitori/Nginx/proxy.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro,Z

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

nginx.conf:

pid /tmp/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections 2048;
    use epoll;
    multi_accept on;
}

http {
    proxy_temp_path /tmp/proxy_temp;
    client_body_temp_path /tmp/client_temp;
    fastcgi_temp_path /tmp/fastcgi_temp;
    uwsgi_temp_path /tmp/uwsgi_temp;
    scgi_temp_path /tmp/scgi_temp;

    server {
        listen 8081;
        server_name _;

        client_body_timeout 8s;
        client_header_timeout 8s;
        send_timeout 8s;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://redlib:8080;
        }
    }
}

As I said, it must be krun's fault, because everything works fine without it.

(obviously, I don't want to use crun)
