I watch the F1 on NowTV. In windows this works fine in Firefox but not in Linux. My research turned up various posts linking to the “widevine” package that depends on “glibc-widevine” but that seems to have disappeared. What happened to it? did it work? where can I get it? is there an alternative?
How do non explicitly installed package dependencies get updated in Arch? Do they update independently of the package that is dependent on them, or do they get updated when the parent package updates? Or is it some secret third thing?...
Hey everyone, I’m currently trying out river wm. For some reason, actions that should invoke the file picker dialog (like uploading a file to a webpage) fail to bring up the dialog and just do nothing....
I’m running an nvidia card on X11 Plasma 6, with a 4K monitor alongside a QHD monitor. Both monitors are the same physical size, despite being different resolutions, so in the nvidia settings app, I’ve got the second X screen setup to generate 4K but downscale it to QHD in the output. It makes the second screen slightly...
I have an optimus laptop, and after the update to KDE6 optimus-manager stopped working. I needed a second display, and all my display outputs are on the Nvdia GPU, so I needed to switch. I tried many different X11 configs, envycontrol then more X11 configs, but I couldn’t get it working right, it would only be the internal...
Hello! I’ve got a new Arch install that I’m in the process of setting up, however I wanted to do things differently this time around for the goal of getting this system as stable as possible without sacrificing features. So, the AUR…...
Hello, I’m facing some rather annoying issues with running KDE6 on Wayland. Despite consulting the Arch Wiki and various online resources, I haven’t been able to get it working. X11 works fine, so I’ve been sticking with X exclusively due to my limited experience with desktop Linux and troubleshooting....
I was creating a new key for pass when I noticed a random expired GPG key assigned to a certain “Roderick van Domburg” in my list of keys. I don’t know any Rodericks, and this laptop has been whipped clean....
I’ve been trying to install Arch on an old laptop for the past few days but for some reason it will not shut down if I’m using any kernel above version 6.7. It goes all the way through and gets to Reached target: System Power Off but then just sits there and never actually powers down. I waited 30 minutes in case it did...
I’m trying to install Arch on Btrfs but every time mkinitcpio runs it fails as shown in the attached screenshot. I’ve tried on the actual laptop which I’m trying to set up, and also on a couple of Hyper-V VMs set up as I usually do and I’ve never had this issue before. This happens when its run automatically after...
I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I’m curious what other people do.
The past few times I’ve run yay I’ve got these warnings about packages that are orphaned/not in the AUR. Based on the names I’m assuming these are leftover from the upgrade from kde plasma 5 to 6, are these safe to remove now? And secondly how would I find orphaned packages like that if I wasn’t using yay since I never...
I’m running Garuda. My laptop screen is on its very last legs. I have an external monitor that connects via USB-C. It has a Display Port connection, but the laptop itself does not. I’m using HDMI to connect to a larger display, but not having two monitors available is driving me insane. I know that the firmware supports...
in last week’s email to the reproducible-builds email list1 about reproducible Arch Linux I mentioned there’s only one unreproducible package left in docker.io/library/archlinux....
