If you are using :manjaro: #Manjaro or :arch: #Arch and you have #Nvidia graphics card, and you updated to Plasma 6, you are up for a nasty surprise, as after typing your password to login, you will get into a black screen. It seems X11 doesn't have this issue, but Wayland is completely toasted!
The only solution I found is to create /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf and put these two lines in it:
@Mehrad thanks am going to try that. I had the first line in already but second must be key. Yes, bit worrying about the testing as many know there was an Nvidia issue to get fixed.
I find it funny that #OrangePi is collaborating with #Manjaro to make a #gaming handheld called #OrangePiNeo and it's not #ARM but just yet another #AMD handheld like the rest of the fleet? Isn't Orange Pi a popular alternative to #RaspberryPi that sells ARM-based SBCs?
Power to them I guess but I definitely would love to see more ARM-based #Linux gaming handhelds (not #Android, we have a ton of those already) available, no matter how "not ready" ARM + Linux gaming is. Software support could always be improved and worked on later down the road once the hardware is available to target.
@dduque what made my #qemu blindingly fast (for a Windows VM) was to set aside a partition formatted to NTFS, instead of using the default virtual file on the host OS (also #manjaro Linux).
@ercanbrack Yes, I've heard good things about it again and again. But what would actually appeal to me more at the moment is pure Arch Linux or maybe VanillaOS 2.0. Let's see. I don't have the time for a new installation at the moment anyway. 🫣
It is a bummer that the only way to get #rstats on #Manjaro is through AUR. I have nothing but bad experiences of AUR in Manjaro, even if something works initially, it will break eventually.
I would love to have it in the Manjaro repos or as a #flatpak. It is officially available for #Linux on Ubuntu/Debian, Fedora and OpenSuse, so it ought to be possible.
On a related note, how difficult is it to turn a .deb file into a flatpak?
@waeiski@alxlg after 30 years of that I sometimes get a bit weary when it happens.
I remember I got invited to a physical party that led to a very very drunk me back in the fall of 1994 when I posted a ‘that’s not ok’ remark in alt.humor.jokes
Round about the time that #slackware was the ‘right choice’ since it ‘just worked’ in a sense that the default X configuration didn’t immediately blow up your monitor. 🤘🏻
Maybe one of you #linuxaudio nerds knows. I'm trying to use the #plugin Instinct by Inertia Audio Systems with Bitwig Studio Flatpak, but Bitwig reports libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, which makes sense, since the package is present in another version webkit2gtk-4.1 2.42.5-1 on my #manjaro system. I think this dependency is not ideal. But what could I recommend to the developers so that they could deliver the plugin in a "smarter" fashion?
