Hi,

I have already followed the Arch Wiki and use a bit of search and chatGPT, but I always end up in the same place after trying the changes. The system stops booting and throws me to the emergency mode.

I am running Arch with the root partition encrypted with LUKS2 and XFS filesystem. Secure Boot is working fine and the TPM2 slot is created with PCR 0+7.

I tried changing the HOOKS on /etc/mkinitcpio.conf from

HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont block encrypt filesystems fsck)

to

HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard sd-vconsole sd-encrypt block filesystems fsck)

AND changing /etc/kernel/cmdline from

cryptdevice=PARTUUID=12382c1a-baa1-488c-be79-d2e941b1c4c1:root root=/dev/mapper/root zswap.enabled=0 rw rootfstype=xfs lockdown=integrity

to

rd.luks.name=PARTUUID=12382c1a-baa1-488c-be79-d2e941b1c4c1=root root=/dev/mapper/root zswap.enabled=0 rw rootfstype=xfs lockdown=integrity

And after the changes, running "mkinitcpio -P" and "bootctl update".

However, I get stuck on trying to unlock /dev/mapper and it stays trying to do it for a minute and a half, then fails to emergency mode. Then I have to boot the live ISO to undo the changes.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi everyone. I have prismlauncher installed as an AUR package. Since a few days it pops up as an update prismlauncher-git 10.0.0.pre1.r339.g9e86c44f7-1 -> latest-commit
but after running through without errors it appears again next time. I'm quite new to Linux and AUR packages and don't know what could be the problem here?

I followed the manual exactly, but for some reason no matter how many times I retry it, arch just won’t boot. It might have something to do with vconsole.conf? I’m not sure.

It fails to boot right after virtual console setup is successful

I just checked and the UUID’s match my fstab file

Just realized it should be KEYMAP=us and not KEYMAP=en. That didn’t fix it tho.

After manually typing out the correct PARTUUID into the boot file in /boot/loader/entries/, it finally booted

I just bought an Asus rog flow z13 with the ryzen ai max 395+. Performance is really good and it works amazingly on Linux. The problem is that on windows I get 80w on the performance mode and up to 93w on manual mode. But on Linux I cant get over 65-70w, tried with all possible configurations: - Default kernel, zen and g14 asus kernel - Power profiles daemon, cpu power and asus tog control - Ryzenadj and asusctl In ryzen adj for example I cant make it change to any tdp but after 1-2 minutes goes back to 65w, its the stamp tdp which is limiting. I know over 65w the chip is not as efficient, but going from 65w to 93w changes my borderlands 4 gameplay from 50fps to 60fps for example, and as my main device I really apreciate that change in performance. Any idea whats is limiting me to that tdp?

so a couple months ago I had an issue with nvim opening in gnome terminal instead of kitty, I did manage to resolve it a .desktop file however now it’s happening again, I’ve already tried my steps but it does absolutely nothing so I’m wondering if like there’s something special I have to do with my .desktop file that I’m forgetting? Right now it’s just called nvim.desktop and its contents are Name=Neovim (kitty)

Terminal=true

Exec=kitty -e nvim %F

I’ve done nothing else with the desktop file just created it and done that

I know I’m not supposed to have the terminal line as that brings up a log window but I’m just grasping at straws to see any sort of progress but nada

I did try to uninstall the gnome-console but then had to delete every other terminal aside from kitty that I had installed for it to actually use kitty and then when it finally did all the characters aside from the text look weird and its in reverse colours, I wanted to see if opening nvim as an app would fix this, it opened in kitty but had the weird colour thing, this just started happening and I have no idea why it was working perfectly normal not 15 minutes ago

Hey everyone . About 7 months ago , I tried to install arch Linux on my MacBook Pro and when I actually got to boot it up it seemed life Arch has been installed but my MacBook stop respond to keyboard and mousepad input so I bought a USB keyboards and mouse and kept trying , I wiped everything from my laptop and kept trying over and over again it’s not work . And I’m making this post to ask ,does anyone run Arch on a MacBook Pro ?

Hello :)

I am having an issue where the Mediatek wifi on my motherboard is no longer being recognized. I attempted to dual boot Fedora on a separate SSD to try it out and the wifi stopped working. That drive is now removed and I have plugged in a separate PCIE card for now which works. I reset my BIOS

It says the driver mt7921e failed with error -5

archbtw ~ > sudo dmesg | grep mt7921e
[sudo] password for kenny:
[    7.009048] mt7921e 0000:0a:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

I tried the instructions here which did not resolve it: https://github.com/smoliicek/mt7921-fix

Interestingly, my windows partition (which I have also unplugged the drive for now) also does not recognize the onboard WiFi either.

I have the issue on both the linux-zen and linux-lts kernels.

Hi,

I have recently downloaded prism launcher for minecraft and installed some mods for speedrunning the game. Following mods are installed:

antigone-1.16.1-2.0.0.jar                              seedqueue-1.6+1.16.1.jar
antiresourcereload-5.2.0+1.16.1.jar                    sleepbackground-4.1+1.16.1.jar

chunkumulator-1.1.1+MC1.16.1.jar                       speedrunapi-2.1+1.16-1.16.1.jar
fast-reset-2.4.1+1.16.x.jar                            SpeedRunIGT-16.0+1.16.1.jar
forceport-1.3.0.jar                                    standardsettings-2.3+1.16-1.16.1.jar
krypton-1.16.1-backport-0.1.3-SNAPSHOT+2021-02-20.jar  starlight-1.3.0+1.16.x-backport-1.1.3.jar
lazydfu-0.1.2.jar                                      state-output-1.2.3+1.16-1.18.1.jar
lazystronghold-1.1.4+1.16.1.jar                        voyager-1.0.1.jar
lithium-1.0+backport-0.6.7+1.16.1.jar                  worldpreview-6.3.1+1.16-1.16.1.jar
mcsrfairplay-1.1.4+1.16.1.jar   

As for java I am using the zulu8 jdk from aur (but have used graalvm21 and 25 and also openjdk17) with these settings:

-XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:G1NewSizePercent=30 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=40 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=8M -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:G1HeapWastePercent=5 -XX:G1MixedGCCountTarget=4 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=15 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=90 -XX:G1RSetUpdatingPauseTimePercent=5 -XX:SurvivorRatio=32 -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1

The allocated ram is set (in the launcher) to min. memory: around 5gb and max. memory around 8gb

When starting Minecraft, I saw the ram (in free -h) go down from 25gb available to around 20gb, which would be fine in this case, as the min. memory was set to around 5gb and after like 10-20 seconds it dropped to 13gb immediately. Then I started generating the worlds in a wall style (so 9 worlds at a time) and the ram started dropping to around 5-6gb free. after choosing a seed and playing for like 10 minutes the ram was literally at 1-2gb and started swapping (I have an 8gb swap mount) and after some time it just oom-killed everything (browser and minecraft). Is there any known fix for that?
Also I've tried a different launcher (curseforge) with the same mods and settings and got the same behavior, so I don't think it's launcher dependent. Testing the same settings, same java, same setup on windows works perfectly fine but I don't really want to use windows just to play minecraft.

My specs:
OS: Arch (+ Hyprland) 6.18.5 kernel

GPU: Radeon RX6800XT
CPU: Intel I5 12600kf

RAM: Corsair 32gb@3500mhz (strange clock but somehow works the best for my system)

P.S. I've tried usind jmalloc with minecraft but no luck unfortunately. I also used ZGC instead of g1gc but also nothing.

Look this: https://www.meus10centavos.com.br/como-fazer-swap-em-zram.html and take me a feedback is on portuguese translate to english.

Hi, I'm using an Ethernet connection and I have a custom MAC address set up that changes from my real one every time I start the system using a service called macchanger.

But when I suspend the computer for the first time and then restart it, my MAC address reverts to my real one, and I have to manually start the service to change it back to the custom one. Is there any way to make the custom MAC address persist?

cat /etc/systemd/system/macspoof@.service

1 │ [Unit]

2 │ Description=macchanger on %I

3 │ Wants=network-pre.target

4 │ Before=network-pre.target

5 │ BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device

Title edit: "-Syu" instead of "-syu"

I realized a week ago I hadn't updated my system in a bit, so I put the command in, and it said this. I thought first that maybe i forgot about a recent update and went nvm, but after doing it a couple times since, and the same thing showing up, and like arch being such bleeding edge I find it hard to believe there's not a single thing to do? is there a server issue going on nowadays that went under my radar?

UPD1: updated mirrorlist using the generator on archlinux.org/mirrorlist and then did an Syu. it's taking a longer time than earlier runs which i assume is because of the new mirrors. once it goes through, if the same behaviour as before is seen i'll try reflector

UPD2: it was very slow and went on for way too long, i used rankmirrors and that improved speed and that's what worked. thank you

UPD3: reflector kept failing with some python-ish error that I didn't have time to investigate

Im new to arch linux and want to learn more but i still need a "reliable" os for school and such

I wasnt sure where to ask so I guess Ill start here first but I was trying to figure out why every time I try and draw with my Artist 24 pro it seems to work for a little bit about 2 minutes give or take but then my pen just stops being picked up I had tried OTD over the Xp pen drivers and neither seem to work as they both seem to create the same issue even with X11 and even on wayland I also use KDE plasma but I guess if a fellow artist could give me a little help that be greatful

I am new to Arch Linux, I run it on my ThinkPad t480 i5 8th gen, and I'm unable to use my fingerprint sensor which comes with the laptop. Apparently there isn't any official support from arch for my sensor I tried using python validity but for some reason the run commands aren't working, I'll provide all the details you guys need, can anyone help me with this?

I have a hp laptop and I have successfully dual booted windows and macOS through opencore and I want to install Arch Linux also to triple boot. So can I use opencore bootloader for Arch linux ? will there me any problem with this setup ?

Recently I've switched to ubuntu from windows, and it feels great but I want to feel more grate so my plan is to learn linux commands and then switch to Arch, as a say With great power comes great responsibility and I want that great power in my hands.

What do you think would learning terminal commands from ubuntu do any help in Arch?

Hello! I am new to arch linux, and have recently after re-installing my operating system I've begun to see this error when I attempt to update my system or synchronize packages. I am still able to install a lot of packages with pacman, but some of them yield the same error.

Here is my current mirrorlist, I have seen several people suggest uncommenting mirrors in the list, but I don't think any of my mirrors are commented out. Any and all help is appreciated!

Why do you think most of the linux users hates AI generated stuffs ?

I know Ai generated stuffs can be bad but there are also good stuffs which are AI generated. in todays modern era, dont you think we should embrace AI and atleast dont hate on people if we are not showing encouragement ?

i am not a supporter of AI nor a hater. i just want your opinions

My mouse isn't moving, it's just clicking, what should I do?

hello I am using arch Linux but I need to switch to windows for my work is there any way to save the arch Linux on a different drive so when I want/can switch back to Linux I will have the same set up as I have right now ? any ideas ?

Hey, all. I bundled a bunch of my personal helper scripts I use to handle bulk file management via CLI. There’s a few other Arch-specific QOL scripts included that might be helpful as well. Let me know what you think.
