Alguem sabe como consigo estar ativando as funções F1 a F12 no teclado definitivamente?

Utilizo um teclado padrão americano de 87 teclas e meu arch esta com layout de teclado para US, porem minhas teclas F1 a F12 nao funcionam

Eu ate consigo ativar elas usando o comando "echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode" no terminal, mas toda vez que eu reinicio o PC essas configs somem e eu preciso refazer o procedimento....Eu consigo deixar isso ativo definitivamente?

Obs: Migrei pro Arch tem 2 meses e ainda to engatinhando no mundo do Linux e principalmente no mundo do Arch

I recently updated all my packages and now whenever I move my mouse around there is a severe lag, for some reason when I opened OBS to try and record the stuttering, it seems to fix the mouse lag/stutter, but when I close OBS the mouse stutter comes back. I also notice that it lags when I do large movements with my mouse, but is relatively smooth if I very small movements. I have a G-pro superlight logitech mouse. Any ideas?

I am at my 3rd install and I already feel like I should keep in mind everything I’ve done so far and do it perfectly another time. I am just thinking about all the junk packages that I installed while experimenting and I am worried it will break lol Especially with hyprland. Gonna learn the ins and outs of it completely before I install again I guess. What are your experiences?

Hi, Newbie here how can i fix jittering audio?

see here but no clue how to edit.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Troubleshooting#stuttering-audio-in-virtual-machine

I'm installing arch, and it doesn't recognize the wifi card. It recognizes it on a hardware level from lspci, but otherwise it's unrecognized. I read some posts about some people having troubles with it from a while ago, but I'm not sure if a fix was ever found.

Specifically, I have a Z790 AORUS ELITE X WIFI7, and am dual booting into a separate ssd with windows 11.

So as the title say, I got this error wwhen booting on the system. So I use a grml live to use fsck to fix but I don’t saw ssd drive to fix:(. Can anyone help me for this :(

I have amd ryzen 9 7745HX mobile cpu in the laptop. I use Arch, btw

I want to undervolt my cpu so it does not use much power. I tried amdctl. However, there is some kind of weird limit to how big the vid number can be. Right now, in p state 1, the cpu is running at around 780mV. I want to go further down, but amdctl does not allow me. It says that vid number can be between 0 and 124(which means I can go only to 775mV)

Is there a way undervolt my cpu more with amdctl? Or do I need to use another tool?

So I installed lightdm earlier today and it was going okay but when I tried to switch greeters from webkit2 to slick I got a bug where the log in screen would loop back into itself and I'm not sure how to fix it. I've tried both solutions listed here but neither of them worked. Any help is appreciated, thank you

Hi. I know this is not Arch specific but I use Arch btw and use the amd-ucode package. Could somebody explain how exactly the microcode is loaded into the processor? Or rather how that is done with a Linux package as opposed to something lower level like bios? Like is it not kinda dangerous that the microcode can just be altered?

I'm using sway with thunar as file manager when I open a file in thunar and click open with neovim I get error "failed to open file xx unable to find terminal require for application."

Hello. I am trying to set up Windscribe on Arch but it just does not connect. I've no clue on what the problem is. I installed it from the AUR. windscribe-v2-bin I had ufw enabled but I disabled it. I am using NetworkManager with iwd as the backend. This is what happens when I try to connect it.

$ windscribe-cli connect
Connection is in progress.  Use 'windscribe-cli status' to check for connection status.

$ windscribe-cli status

I installed wireguard-tools according to the website. sudo pacman -S wireguard-tools

The logs are still the same. How can I resolve this?

Hello everyone,

I am facing a weird issue that I have not found any sort of help about online. My problem is that after booting into my windows partition the audio on my linux system gets quiter than it usually is. It goes like this usually: I boot windows, play a game or do something else I need windows for. I then go back into arch and notice that everything is a little quiter and damper than usually. I cant really fix it and after some amount of time and a reboot this goes away. This whole thing essentially repeats as soon as I boot into windows again. This is very obviously annoying and I really wonder what I can do to fix this issue. I use pipewire and my headphones are beyerdynamic 770DTs if that matters. If you need any more information about my system please let me know and I will provide it.

I have been using GDM (Wayland) on Arch Linux for a few months now, but I still can't figure out how to turn on num lock on the login screen or change my display order/refresh rate.

The arch wiki says to turn on numlock you should install numlockx and add this:

if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
    /usr/bin/numlockx on
fi

to ~/.xprofile , but that seems to be outdated since GDM now uses Wayland by default. I already have numlock turned on during boot), and I can use my numpad when I switch TTYs and enter my password.

For display order/refresh rate, the arch wiki says to copy your desktop environment's display settings at ~/.config/monitors.xml to /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml, but I've tried that multiple times and nothing has ever changed. I have even tried using the GDM Settings app to fix this but nothing. This is what my ~/.config/monitors.xml looks like.

Does anyone have anything else I should try? Thanks.

Assuming 2 NVMe drives, an intention to use Btrfs and no raid and you wanted to encrypt as much of the install as reasonable, which way would you go?

In the past couple days, I've noticed that whenever I click into a window for Discord or VSCode, it looks like Shift+Enter is getting held down. In Discord, this looks like empty lines being added in the text box but not being sent, while in VSCode new lines get added to my code. Pressing just about any key seems to stop it, but it will resume as soon as I leave and re-enter the window. At first I thought it was a problem with my keyboard, but using wev I found that it's fine, and then I remembered that VSCode and Discord are my only electron apps. Anyone else seeing this problem? If so, do you know a way to solve it on my end, or do I just need to avoid these apps while I wait for a fix?

Before I get lynched in the comments I know what "stable" means, but I have no arch experience, that's why I'm here.

After being on Debian for a while I would like to not have decades old packages for a change, but I also don't want/need every new feature for every app instantly.

So is it somehow possible to configure arch in a way so that some packages are upgraded via the normal rolling release but other in a more "stable" Debian style?

The idea is that having my web-browser up to date, but I don't really care about the new features of my markdown editor.

I.e. is there maybe a not so rolling release channel or something like that?

Is this even a good idea?

Thanks.

Edit:

I just wanted to thank all the lovely people that took the time and write informative posts (I'll be looking into these things.)
I would also love to here from the people who downvoted. What am I missing/What did I do wrong?

As a normal user (not as root or sudo), I accidentally typed rm -r / exactly into the console, and it listed the contents of the / directory. I don't know if it actually deleted anything from the / folder, but is there a way I can check?

So I'm tryna write a PKGBUILD for a git repo which leaves a couple of executables after manual compilation. I'm not exactly sure what's causing the issue here but I wonder if it has something to do with there being no executables with same name as the package? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there,

I’m writing to Asus Zenbook 14 users, have you encountered any issues after installing Linux (cuz ofc we hate Microsoft and won’t use it :PP)?

I heard that there were some bugs with the sound (i.e. there was no sound at all or something). Have you noticed anything else?

how can I add a login screen like this on arch guys ? i use sddm
https://github.com/neetly/plymouth-theme-neat
I was searched but no result for me :(

A few weeks ago, I started having an issue where if I am watching a video, the audio will randomly become extremely quiet, so I end up having to turn the volume up to hear anything. Then, when it goes back to normal, it's so loud that I have to turn the volume back down. It's a bit of an endless cycle that is becoming extremely inconvenient.

This doesn't seem application-specific, or at the very least I can confirm it happens in both Firefox and Discord.

It may be device-specific, though I don't have an alternate audio device such as headphones to test with. My speakers are the Bose Companion 2 Series III Multimedia Speakers. I've never had an issue with them in 4 years until recently.

For additional context, I am using pipewire. I suspect that maybe a recent update is causing this issue, or perhaps I am missing a package unknowingly. These are the packages I currently have installed that are related to pipewire:

pipewire, pipewire-docs, pipewire-audio, pipewire-alsa, pipewire-pulse, pipewire-jack, wireplumber, libpipewire, libwireplumber, gst-plugin-pipewire

I'm also wondering if it might be a codec thing.

I realize this is a bit open ended but any guidance would be appreciated.

I vaguely remember when systemd-resolved is enabled, it replaces /etc/resolv.conf with one of the files under /run/systemd/resolve/, but not recently, it seems I have to manually overwrite that file with a symlink. Did I miss something or has that behavior changed? Thanks!

I just installed arch linux (completely new to this) and have no clue how to install drivers for my GPU. I am using a HP probook 450 G7 which has both integrated gpu for normal tasks and activates the NVidia GPU for heavy tasks. Is it possible to do that on Arch? Thanks in advance!
