Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    At the start yes. But it deteriorates with time. I can't even update because of dependency conflicts and whatnot. My system is held together by ductape and a piece of bubble gum

    Did you miss a required manual intervention on an update? A while ago there was an arch update that needed manual intervention cause of a dependency circle. Might be worth looking up the past year or so of manual intervention newsletter posts for Arch.

    Last time I had a dependacy issue I was able to remove the conflicting package, update, then reinstall the package and it worked fine afterwards.

    My own system was working great for a long while on an Arch flavour. But a bit ago HDR stopped working properly after an update and I just couldn't get it running right. Would display very dim.

    Eventually gave up on my 2 year old install and went back to Tumbleweed.

    I loved all the tinkering on Arch, but I just don't have it in me to do the tinkering anymore.

    Just uninstall the kernel module that takes care of the GPU working properly, should solve the conflicts. You probably won't see the screen, so I advise to do a disk clone to a different PC and mirror your actions.

    At this point i'd rather do a full reinstall. Would probably solve my other issues too
