Re: [arch-general] Broke Arch trying to change graphics driver

[Junayeed Ahnaf via arch-general]

I did a rollback too , seems like there's no easy way to go back from nonfree 
to free drivers.

I just hit a similar issue when trying to switch from nvidia to nouveau. I
was trying to switch from i3/Xorg to sway/Wayland. The proprietary nvidia
driver is unsupported with sway. I uninstalled the nvidia modules like you
did, disabled the lightdm display manager, and booted into nouveau. It
worked but was much too slow to be usable with my 4K display. I was getting
major lag. It was like getting 1 HZ refresh rate moving my mouse pointer
around.

I switched back to i3/Xorg with the nvidia modules but when rebooting to
test, it failed with a black screen like you got. When I tried "sudo
modprobe nvidia" I got an "exec format error" message and the nvidia
module refused to load.

The nvidia module installed to the extramodules directory so I expected it
to work with the 4.16.4 kernel I'm running even though it was built on
4.16.1, but apparently that is not the case. Uninstalling and reinstalling
nvidia and nvidia-utils did not fix things.

Eventually I gave up and did a "zfs rollback" to restore the previous
system state and everything was fine after that. Sorry I don't have good
solution for you, but I wanted to chime in that I also encountered the same
problem and it was related to the nvidia modules not being loadable.

Hi,

So here's what happened, I was facing issue with proprietary nVidia driver 
(screen tearing) so I thought I want to switch to the free one, so I 
uninstalled nvidia with "pacman -Rs nvidia" , then I thought might as well try 
a different kernel and installed zen. Now when I boot into either kernel I am

but no display comes up.

[arch-general] Firefox screen tearing

[Junayeed Ahnaf via arch-general]

Hello,

I am using firefox v 60.0b15 installed from AUR. My hardware is:


  1.
AMD 1600 Processor
  2.
nVidia 1500Ti GPU running nVidia proprietary driver
  3.
16GB 3200MHz RAM

There should not be any problem running firefox with this configuration but I 
am facing weird lag and screen tearing when I turn on smooth scrolling. Things 
I have tried:


  1.
Enabled / Disabled hardware acceleration
  2.
Applied 1.2, 1.3, 1.6, 1.8, 1.10, 1.11 from 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox/Tweaks
 I had scrolling issue before trying anything, still have them.

My desktop environment is KDE and Kernel version is 4.16.3-1-ARCH. I have all 
the updates installed. What can I do to make the tearing go away? Turning off 
smooth scrolling does solve the issue but I'd like to keep it on.

Thanks

[arch-general] TPlink Touch P5 network printer

[Junayeed Ahnaf via arch-general]

Hi,

I know it's unlikely (TP link representitive said it's impossible) but is there 
any way I can add a printer that is connected to my Tp Link Touch P5 router? 
It's possible in Mac and Windows but is it possible in Arch ? Here 
is
 the process for those OS.

sudo is not a package manager, you shouldprobably use pacman for that ;).

AFAIK the package is already installed, the next step is to configure CUPS

 Arch Linux is not like desktop focused distributions. Therefore, it's
 ISO does not come with "everything but the kitchen sink" where you have
 a turn-key desktop after running a GUI installer or install script. It
 has the base set of software you need to assemble what you need for your

 Isn't it widely accepted as
 the go to method of connecting to internet in Linux?
 No, not in general like that. Network manager is primarily used for
 network management with desktop environments, most commonly Gnome, as
 the other respondent noted. Arch Linux is used in many different ways,
 not only for the desktop.

 Is there any reason
 for it not to be default?
 The defaults for the ISO would generally be the simpler options, and
 less likely to be something large with a lot of dependencies.  Also,
 minimalist ISOs were the norm rather than the exception in years past
 and for Reasons. They still are in some cases or with some distros.
 Also, there are not always application defaults with Arch Linux like you
 might have with a desktop distro. Arch is "DIY/build your own and choose
 your own defaults (for the most part)" type of distro.

[arch-general] Why there is no NetworkManager in ArchISO

[Junayeed Ahnaf via arch-general]

Hello,

Why is there no NetworkManager in ArchISO? Isn't it widely accepted as 
the go to method of connecting to internet in Linux? Is there any reason 
for it not to be default?

Thanks

I did it . Steps :

1. Edit /etc/sddm.conf and added user and session under autologin 
2. sudo systemctl --force enable sddm 
3. cat /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service to see if everything 
works 
4. sudo reboot

[arch-general] Automatic login

[Junayeed Ahnaf via arch-general]

Hello,

How to enable automatic login in arch (using sddm and KDE) . 

I tried enabling it in /etc/sddm.conf but it didn't work. Also I saw 
something like getty but I didn't understand what it does or how to make it 
work. In all other linux there is an option called "user" in settings but 
that is absent in Arch.

Thanks in advance.

Install ark. And I would stop running random commands you find on the internet 
if you don't fully understand what they do, especially as root.

[arch-general] No extract menu on Dolphin

[Junayeed Ahnaf via arch-general]

Hello,


I can't see any "extract here > autodetect subfolder" menu on dolphin . After 
googling I found out it is a common problem in Ubuntu and the fix is


sudo ln -s /usr/share/kde4/servicetypes/konqpopupmenuplugin.desktop 
/usr/share/kservicetypes5/


but it doesn't work on arch. Any idea how can I fix this in arch ?


Thanks

[arch-general] Problem regarding Resolution on Nvidia

[Junayeed Ahnaf via arch-general]

Hello,

I am using nvidia proprietary driver on arch linux (GNOME with Wayland), My 
HDMI port broke so I connected my monitor using DVI ports (with VGA adapter 
since my monitor does not have any DVI output). Now my aspect ratio is fixed on 
4:3. I can't make it to 16:9 nor can I use 1920*1080.

Steps I've taken :
1. Following archwiki I tried to create a new rule for xrandr but it failed
2. I tried editing xorg.conf refresh rate and it added some weird resolution 
but still no 16:9
3. Added subsection on "Screen" defining resolution, it did not do anything ;(

What can I do? Any suggestion will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

J
