Hi Fabby…The output to ```

  1. In the future, when providing code/output, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text so that the output looks like this:

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
    Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

    Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
    

    instead of like this:

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

    (as that makes both our lives much easier)

  2. No need to do anything right now as I’m an editor here on this site and have fixed it for you already. However, in the future I might not see your post so review my edits by pushing the orange pencil above the post I just fixed. :wink:

  3. Well, you never posted a full inxi so if that file does not exist, you’re on Wayland instead of Xorg and then I can’t help you as I haven’t bothered reading Wayland documentation yet, so my name is Manuel and I’m from Barcelona.

:man_shrugging:

Well Hi Manuel…I didn’t know I had to post a full inxi command .As I said I’m very new here.So I just installed a bumblebee config.And everything seems ok right now… i just wanna install kodi right now.But installing from Pac-Man made a broken install.The settings page doesn’t show anything at all .Right now I’m trying to install kodi from a kodi-GitHub-common package but that install takes hours…Do you know how to install kodi correctly?

And My name is Murat and i am from Balıkesir,Turkey

Sorry Murat,

I can’t help you any further. and “My name is Manuel and I’m from Barcelona” means: “I know nothing”.

:grin:

Hi Murat,

Same as Fabby, I can’t really help you, this go’s beond my experience but I do have a good link for you to look up the way’s in witch Manjaro supports the dual GPU: Configure Graphics Cards - Manjaro

Since you have a system that is not yet in use as a production machine you should try to find the right way for your specific hardware that you are happy with.

Since Manjaro is based on arch, and arch has an amazing wiki, looking for an article with your specific machine could be a good start: Category:HP - ArchWiki

Hi…Thank you for your interest…But I dont understand why you cant help me

And my name is Pope Francis.

Everyone has their specialities and I used to run Gnome 2 years ago, so I still know a lot about it, but I’m on KDE nowadays, so I can’t simulate your exact error, so I don’t know what else to do!

:sob:

Ok.Thank you for your interest Fabrizio.
