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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    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 remove France.

    pacman -S nvidia-dkms

    Hollywood, here I come!

    pacman -S hollywood

    Partial updates are not supported on Arch. You need to use -Syu.

    [–] saoirse@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

    I think you're misunderstanding what a partial upgrade is.

    A partial upgrade is where you update the database without then upgrading every package (calling pacman -Sy with the u switch).

    pacman -S, therefore, is not a partial upgrade, as the database is not updated with the y switch.

    See System maintenance#Partial upgrades are unsupported for more info.

    I thought dkms was recommended only for alternative kernels, and that nvidia or nvidia-open is what’s recommended generally.

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

    Recommended, yes, but I've had issues with the pre-compiled modules before, so I switched to nvidia-dkms to make sure the binaries are always freshly baked.
