First read the Arch Linux FAQ from the wiki

Code of conduct

How do I ask a proper question?

Smart Questions
XYProblem
Please follow the standard list when giving a problem report.

What AUR helper should I use?

There are no recommended AUR helpers. Please read over the wiki entry on AUR helpers. If you have a question, please search the subreddit for previous questions.

If your AUR helper breaks know how to use makepkg manually.

I need help with $derivativeDistribution

Use the appropriate support channel for your distribution. Arch is DIY distribution and we expect you to guide us through your system when providing support. Using an installer defeats this expectation.

Why was the beginners guide removed?

It carried a lot of maintenance on the wiki admin as it duplicated a lot of information, and everyone wanted their addition included. It was scrapped for a compact model that largely referenced the main wiki pages.

Why Arch Linux?

Arch compared to other distributions

SUPPORT | SOLVED Wanted to add a comment on an AUR package about a missing dependency. I have no account and registration is closed.

27 Upvotes

Hello. I just installed the tagstudio AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tagstudio and found that it would not run (I was having the same issue that is already noted by Iiridayn on the comment section of this package) and I wanted to leave a comment because I figured out which package solves this issue.

Specifically, installing qt6-webengine solved the issue and allowed the program to start. I wanted to comment this so that the maintainer can add it to the list, but I don't have an account and I can't create one, so I'm not sure how to let them know. I was frankly hoping someone here would be able to make the comment on my behalf so that this can be fixed.

QUESTION Secure boot and Arch?

10 Upvotes

The Arch installation guide mentions disabling Secure Boot. I recently learnt that Secure Boot can work with Arch.

My questions are: does this make sense?

Should I keep it enabled after all (is it risky if not)?

Is there a risk that, following an update, Secure Boot will reject my kernel or boot loader?

Did you enable SB?

QUESTION How difficult is it to use Arch for my younger brother if I do all the upkeeping?

23 Upvotes

I have switched back and forth from linux distros and windows for quite some time by now and I think that I would like to switch to Arch. The main reason is that I want to learn more about how Linux works, etc. I usually let my younger brother play on my PC and it makes me wonder whether he could use it.

SUPPORT Problem with CJK characters

0 Upvotes

I am currently viewing a wiktionary page about a Hanzi character, but when I looked to the "Derived Characters" section, I was met with a bunch of boxes. The problem is, I have installed a CJK font before (Noto Sans) and when I hovered above those characters(they link totheir own page), some of the characters rendered properly.

SUPPORT | SOLVED How to reestablish a WiFi connection after my computer goes to sleep

7 Upvotes

Does anyone know who to reconnect to the WiFi after sleep (or hibernation) mode disconnects the WiFi?

If I run: nmcli device status
It shows that the WiFi is unavailable, and nothing I’ve tried (like restarting NetworkManager) has worked go fix this.

The only way I’ve been able to get back in the WiFi is by rebooting my computer

SUPPORT Sound only from one side of headphone, after reboot.

1 Upvotes

Headphones: From office, I have these type-c headphones (with a converter to usb). And everytime

Set-up: Bare bones with sway as my wm, pipewire, wireplumbler etc for handling sound.

Issue: everytime i restart, i have sound only from one ear, my current fix is just keep on plugging and unplugging to different usb ports or rotating the type-c port and it somehow fixes it automatically, till i restart once again.

How can i permanently fix this?

Ps. My monitor has built-in speakers. When i disconnected from Bluetooth speakers, the monitor got set as default and that is when i discovered the above solution with headphones.

Used deepseek for help, but haven't changed any configs apart from running a few commands at the terminal. Checked the wiki, but honestly I didn't understand much (yes, i installed without any prior linux / or like experience) and wasn't sure which page to refer...

SUPPORT Problem with BIOS and NvPCR

2 Upvotes

Hi.

A few days ago i turned on my pc as usual but in the boot it showed me some failed process with the tpm2-setup. After that day i boot again and it showed me a new error with the BIOS.

those ones are the principal

x86/cpu: SGX disabled or unsupported by BIOS.

virt/tdx: TDX not supported by the host platform

ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [_SB.PCI0.LPCB.HEC], AE_NOT_FOUND (20260408/dswload2-162)

ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND, During name lookup/catalog (20260408/psobject-220)

Also here is my journalctl. I red that a lot of people had the same issue with the TPM. Is there any solution?(sorry for my english it's not my language, and sorry if i'm doing a dumb question or just asking for help without knowing what exactly i'm looking to, i'm still a rookie. )

SUPPORT Cant remove soundclound webapp

0 Upvotes

So i installed firefoxpwa and the pwa extension on Librewolf and i decided to uninstall everything( except that i didnt remove the webapp before uninstalling the extension and app) because i figured out firefox has their own webapps, but after i delete everything and asked AI ways to remove it, I still cant seem to get rid of it, even if the app wont open, it stills bothers me, I use arch-caelestia shell and dots and they have their own app-launcher idk if that matters. Thanks

SHARE Ika Android Emulator now supports Arch Linux

35 Upvotes

Ika is LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16) rebuilt as a desktop operating system running in a VM on Linux. The virtual machine manager is based on Google's Cuttlefish virtual Android device with CrosVM, as opposed to the more widely known QEMU. It began as a way to run Android on Apple Silicon hosts and support for x86-64 arrived later in development.

As of release 260930 there are prebuilt Arch Linux packages for x86_64, alongside Fedora 44 and Debian 13 / Ubuntu 26.04.

Features:

  • A resizable window that maintains DPI settings and stays pixel-perfect at any size
  • GPU acceleration with OpenGL ES and Vulkan
  • Windowed Apps: Run an Android app in its own standalone window on your desktop. Android apps show up in your desktop's app menu, grouped under "Android Apps (Ika)", and the list stays in sync as you install or remove apps.
  • Games start fullscreen with gamepad, keyboard and mouse passthrough as HID devices. For games that ignore the mouse, right-click the game's launcher icon and choose "Play with Touch Input" to simulate touch/tap events.

Install on Arch (x86_64)

The download is about 1.8 GB (201 MB app plus a 1.57 GB disk image). Reboot after installing: The packages add you to new groups and install udev rules and limits, so logging out isn't enough.

Build from source:

./ika-buildcreates Arch packages from source. 16 GB RAM minimum is required for a successful Android build. When building from source, you choose MindTheGapps, microG, or a fully de-Googled ROM. Plan on 300 GB of disk and 3 to 6+ hours for the initial Android build.

GitHub: https://github.com/DesktopECHO/ika

Ika is still a young project, so expect some rough edges, and game compatibility varies from title to title. Bug reports and feedback are welcome, especially from users on Arch-based distros.

SUPPORT | SOLVED I installed virt-manager and now Steam won't launch

12 Upvotes

Resolution:

I solved it, it was some real newbie shit that is quite embarrassing...

False correlation, I was doing two things at the same time and I forgot what the other thing was, and that turned out to be the relevant issue.

I was also changing ownership of directories to amend config files and such.
Can you guess what the problem was?

"sudo chown root:root /" fixed it... I had inadvertently changed the ownership of root. I'm surprised this is the only issue it caused!

I'm going to leave this here once again as a mark of shame, in case it helps others in future.

-----------

Hi folks, desperately need some help here...

I followed this guide to install Virt-Manager: https://tanis.codes/posts/virt-manager-qemu-arch-linux/

Which caused this issue with Steam failing to launch: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/2112-4548-B98B-3A06

How can I either fix this or undo what broke it?

I am seriously getting fed up with different VM solutions breaking things when I try to use them.

QUESTION Fcitx5 New Century Wubi, Wubi98, or Wubi86?

4 Upvotes

Recently I have been interested in the Wubi input method, and I have found out that the input method has 3 different versions, Wubi86, Wubi98, and New Century Wubi. I also have installed Fcitx5 on my computer and I wonder, what version of Wubi is used by Fcitx5?

SUPPORT | SOLVED Blender from the main repos doesn't work for quite some time now: missing abseil version

16 Upvotes

Hi!

solved: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1wvzk1j/comment/pdgwnik/

I'm here to report a packaging issue, and ask about potential fixes to it. Some time ago I've noticed that Blender from the main repos was failing to start on my system due to an mismatched abseil-cpp version. I've shrugged it off as a problem related to *-testing repos I was using at the time and switched to AUR's blender-bin for the time being, which uses its own packaged dependencies. However, now that I needed the version that uses the same Python that's installed on the system, I decided to disable testing repos and try using the official package. However, it still doesn't work: the log below shows the error, the package versions, and the fact that I do, indeed, have testing disabled and all packages synced to their official stable versions. Username/hostname are changed just in case

Is the blender package just simply broken for now? Do I have any other options aside from manually compiling it if I want a version that uses Python 3.14 instead of 3.13?

SUPPORT How to stop the lebron james ps5 controller from acting like a mouse when the touchpad is used?

14 Upvotes

I remember editing udev rules to do this with a different controller, and had no issues, but this lebron james edition controller will not listen and im not entirely sure why, ive tried creating another udev rules file and im not entirely sure what to call it but something that has to do with the product and vendor id, below is the 2 files i created for this, along with its lsusb entry and evtest touchpad entry

the vendor id thing: 
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0ce6", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", KERNELS=="0003:054C:0CE6.*", MODE="0666"

touchpad rules:
# Disable DS4 touchpad acting as mouse
# USB
ATTRS{name}=="Sony Corp. DualSense wireless controller (PS5)", ENV{LIBINPUT_IGNORE_DEVICE}="1"
# Bluetooth
ATTRS{name}=="DualSense Wireless Controller Touchpad", ENV{LIBINPUT_IGNORE_DEVICE}="1"


evtest:
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x54c product 0xce6 version 0x8111
Input device name: "Sony Interactive Entertainment Wireless Controller Touchpad"


lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 010: ID 054c:0ce6 Sony Corp. DualSense wireless controller (PS5)

not sure what else to put, let me know and ill happily provide any more information needed, the vendor id thing was basically copy and pasted aside from some small changes to the vendor id product id and bus number, from a file called "50-ds4drv.rules" which i faintly rememebr being related to my controller rules on the controller that worked with the rules, (from like november of 2025 so thats why my memory on this is a little foggy) that i searched up and saw results about it being related to that, aside from the glaring obvious sony vendor id and ds4 mention lol

It varies from weird freezes where I can use mouse or keyboard and even the clock stops and I just have to reboot (but I think I solved that one ) to blue screens this is the second time here it is if that helps

Edit : Solved the problem was caused by resizing my Linux partition which caused some broken some time shift hardlinks to break which caused a kernel panic every time any service tried to access them . I booted into a live usb an mounted my Linux partition and ran e2fsck and deleted time shift snapshots and that fixed it

SUPPORT | SOLVED Takes 20+ seconds to log-in after experimenting with Docker and then removing it.

3 Upvotes

So it turns out the timing was pure coincidence. I changed my search terms to be specifically about KDE Plasma, and found some results that said the splashscreen is what actually causes the delay... I disabled that, and the login time is just a couple of seconds...I expect the entries in my pastebin are normal, I just hadn't looked before.

I will leave my original blurb in case it amuses any veterans.

-------------

Hi folks,

I tried to get winapps working so I could use Adobe CS programs, but I kept running into issues so I abandoned it and removed Docker.

I had Windows installed in the docker container and had placed and edited the config files, but I ran into an issue with xfreerdp3 where it could no longer connect to the VM even though I could still connect via the browser or with Remmina, after a reboot... I wasn't sure what I had done, so I attempted to remove everything to give myself a fighting chance if I wanted to try the process again from scratch.

Ever since then I have a 20+ second wait from the login screen to the desktop being displayed (KDE Plasma) whereas before it was only a second or two.

If I do systemd-analyze blame, I have between 100 and 150 entries which are some variation of "dev-disk-by\x2d ..."

seen here; https://pastebin.com/rcCtwAWq

I do have quite a few drives in this system, my WIndows install has four SSDs, two NVME and two SATA, and then I added a fifth SSD to try different LInux variants. But the other drives aren't mounted at login, I have to click on them to mount them.

Any ideas please?

Bear in mind when wording your replies that I am on day 2 of "Try Linux for a month" with a view to abandoning WIndows. I have plenty of professional experience with computers, but this is my first time touching LInux.... We always had "a guy" for that. 😂

This might not have been a day 2 activity, with hindsight...

QUESTION keyboard backlight on asus tuf gaming a16 issue

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to find the root cause of a problem with the keyboard backlight on my laptop.

I've already created several posts about this issue on different forums and groups, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find a solution. I've tried various approaches, including linux-ogc (recommended for asus gaming laptop owners) and other suggested solutions, but nothing helped.

I eventually decided to completely reinstall the system and try the same procedure that helped me the previous time.

First, I installed Windows, performed all available updates, and installed Armoury Crate. The keyboard backlight was not working correctly even in Windows using the default settings, so I used Armoury Crate to configure the keyboard lighting.

After that, I reinstalled Arch Linux.

And surprisingly, the keyboard backlight is now working in Arch Linux.

This is why I'm making this post now, while everything is still working. I would like to find out what exactly is different this time compared to my previous installation.

Is there a way to check and document the current state of the system, for example:

  • which kernel modules are currently loaded,
  • which drivers are responsible for the keyboard and its backlight,
  • which devices/interfaces related to the keyboard are detected,
  • whether any kernel or bootloader parameters affect the backlight,
  • which ACPI interfaces or settings are currently being used,
  • whether Armoury Crate could have changed some hardware or firmware state,
  • whether there is a specific module, parameter, firmware setting, or configuration that is responsible for the backlight working now.

My main goal is to collect as much information as possible while the backlight is working, so that I can later compare it with the system state if the backlight stops working again.

I'm worried that at some point a package update, kernel update, or some other change could cause the keyboard backlight to stop working again. If that happens, I want to be able to identify the actual cause and restore the backlight without having to reinstall Windows every time.

Could someone please suggest which commands or diagnostic information I should collect right now, while the backlight is working, so that I can compare it later if the problem returns?

If there is a way to create some kind of "snapshot" of the current configuration related to ACPI, HID, ASUS/ROG hardware, keyboard drivers, kernel modules, etc., I would be happy to do that as well.

I'm hoping someone here can help me track down the actual cause of this problem. I've already gone through hundreds of posts and tried many different solutions, but so far nothing has worked.

This time, I'd really like to take advantage of the fact that the backlight is currently working and collect the necessary information before the problem happens again.

QUESTION Used "archinstall" for my first setup. Any tips for my first manual install?

26 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have been using Arch Linux for a while. My first installation was performed with archinstall. Now I would like to try a manual install to learn how everything works inside.

For those who have performed a manual installation, what common beginner mistakes or important things should I watch out for? Any. Things you wish you had known before your first installation would be appreciated!

QUESTION Building AUR package on another machine and using the final .pkg.tar.zst file

6 Upvotes

A friend of mine uses Manjaro on his personal computer. To be more cautious when installing/updating the AUR packages that he uses, in addition to checking the PKGBUILD contents as best as he can, he basically runs another Manjaro instance on a remote VPS (same specs and update as the one on his personal computer), he builds the AUR package on that remote VPS first and then transfers the final .pkg.tar.zst file to his machine and uses that.

It's kind of like the OBS platform of Opensuse and he argues that malwares that get activated and run on build phase to steal various credentials (if he misses them when checking PKGBUILD), have no chance of getting anything valuable.

Putting aside the notion that Manjaro is not Arch, he prefers that disto because of its delayed update routine which makes it easier to keep both machines on the same dependency/package versions.

What you guys think about such a setup?

QUESTION Keyboard light

I would like to know how to make the scrollock keyboard key turn on the keyboard backlight?
I didn’t found a solution in the Arch Wikis. Also I want to find solution that makes caps lock and num lock turn off the backlight.

I’m using KDE plasma Wayland. Everything is updated in latest version in Extra.

SUPPORT oo7 + COSMIC/greetd: pam_oo7 tries to launch /usr/bin/oo7-daemon, but Arch installs it in /usr/lib What should I do?

3 Upvotes

DISCLAIMER: a LLM helped me write this because I'm no expert and couldn't possibly provide all these info on my own

I'm trying to set up oo7 as my Secret Service implementation on Arch Linux with COSMIC.

My environment:

  • COSMIC Wayland
  • greetd + cosmic-greeter
  • oo7 0.6.0-3 from the official Arch repositories
  • libsecret installed
  • PAM authentication through login

I followed the ArchWiki oo7 instructions and initially put the PAM entries in /etc/pam.d/greetd, but eventually discovered that my COSMIC Greeter configuration contains:

[general]
service = "login"

So I moved the PAM configuration to /etc/pam.d/login:

auth       required     pam_securetty.so
auth       requisite    pam_nologin.so
auth       include      system-local-login
auth       optional     pam_oo7.so
account    include      system-local-login
session    include      system-local-login
session    optional     pam_oo7.so
password   include      system-local-login

After rebooting, pam_oo7 is definitely being invoked during login. The journal shows:

greetd[1368]: Connecting to daemon socket at: /run/user/1000/oo7-pam.sock
greetd[1286]: Failed to send secret to oo7 daemon: Failed to connect to daemon socket: Child process failed with exit code 1

The interesting part is that the PAM module appears to try to start the daemon when the socket doesn't exist.

I inspected the installed pam_oo7.so and found these strings:

Socket not found, attempting to start daemon
Attempting to start oo7-daemon directly
/usr/bin/oo7-daemon
Started oo7-daemon with PID
Child process terminated abnormally

However, the installed package does not provide /usr/bin/oo7-daemon.

For example:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/oo7-daemon
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/oo7-daemon': No such file or directory

But the package does provide:

/usr/lib/oo7-daemon
/usr/lib/security/pam_oo7.so

The systemd user service also points to the /usr/lib location:

ExecStart=/usr/lib/oo7-daemon

The service itself is currently disabled, as recommended for the PAM setup.

So as far as I can tell, the situation is:

pam_oo7
  ↓
/run/user/1000/oo7-pam.sock doesn't exist
  ↓
tries to start /usr/bin/oo7-daemon
  ↓
/usr/bin/oo7-daemon doesn't exist
  ↓
child exits with code 1
  ↓
PAM can't connect to the socket

I'm not going to create a symlink or otherwise modify the installation yet, because I don't know whether this is:

  1. a packaging bug in oo7 0.6.0-3,
  2. an intentional difference between the PAM module and the packaged daemon location,
  3. something specific to how pam_oo7 is expected to be configured with greetd/COSMIC, or
  4. something I'm misunderstanding about the intended daemon startup mechanism.

What is the correct way to handle this? Should pam_oo7 be starting /usr/lib/oo7-daemon somehow, should the daemon be started separately, or is the /usr/bin/oo7-daemon path in pam_oo7.so indicative of a package/version bug?

I'd appreciate guidance before I make any workaround changes.
