There is a known issue with Asus Laptops (on multiple distros) where the built-in keyboard is unresponsive in initramfs when cold booting - such that if you have an encrypted root you cannot type in your password.
The solution on Arch based distros was to add i8042 to the MODULES section & move up keyboard keymap in the HOOKS section of mkinitcpio.conf.
After this update, the solution has stopped working & the keyboard is again unresponsive - but only if cold booting. Rebooting is perfectly fine.
Anyone else with an Asus Laptop have a similar experience, or is it just me?
::Edit:: Nevermind, user error. Fixed it. The solution still works.
Alternative command for people who don’t want to install some weird helpers but use good old pamac pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) --no-confirm
With Qt applications progressively migrating to Qt6, i find myself using a mix of Qt5 applications (QuiteRSS, BackInTime) and Qt6 applications (QBittorrent). Currently, i can’t find a way to apply GTK2 style to everything (qt6gtk2 and qt6ct don’t seem backwards compatible). Have anyone resolved this?
Just spotted those. It seems QBittorrent is just being too ahead…
The same thing happened to me, for the moment until they tell me how to proceed I use this:
go to preferences
use custom iu theme > set downloaded theme
Still having the same issue with systemd-homed using a dedicated disk / RAID1 so I moved my two machines to using an encrypted home image file instead for now until the issue I had already with previous update is resolved. The issue in question: FS#73208 - Systemd-homed fails with systemd-250
In addition to that one, no issues for me with the update thus far.
The cause is Arch updating the package from Qt 5 to Qt 6: [telegram-desktop 3.4.2-2: Build against Qt6]
This leads to read message ticks, stickers, etc being pixelized. The issue on Telegram Desktop official repo states that it’s not solvable on Qt 6 at the moment: [search for QT6 fractional scaling in new versions results in pixilated images on linux]
Solution: install the official binary package from Telegram, for example, from AUR. That is built against Qt 5, I guess. pamac build telegram-desktop-bin
(Don’t worry, it will pick your user profile and settings, no manual actions were required for me)
The Super-key does not open the “application launcher” anymore.
Workaround 1: Set the keyboard shortcut to “Super+Y” or something else like “Super + -”. Then the “application launcher” can be launched with “Super” or “Super+Y”.
Workaround 2: Use Alt+Space
The keyboard shortcuts of the “Entries” of “Status and Notifications” are resetted after a reboot. I like to enable/disable “Night Colour” with “Super+Strg+K” or open the “Notifications” with “Super+Strg+N”.
EDIT: Seems to be a KDE bug. After I setup the keyboard shortcut for the second entry (e.g. “Night Colour”), the keyboard shortcut for the first entry (e.g. “Notifications”) is deleted. Although the shortcut for “Notification” is removed in the GUI, it still works until I reboot my computer.
How can I debug this issue? I skimmed “journalctl -b” and saw nothing special (except that I have EXT4 errors that I’m fixing now).
I’d heard about kernel 5.16 has some better gaming perfomance. So, I’ve installed and switched my kernel from 5.14 to 5.16 and get issue with my xbox 360 gamepad. It was connected and detected in the system settings(I use KDE edition), plus in Steam the same, BUT there wasn’t any input events from my gamepad. And when I tried to see an error with xboxdrv(I have xboxdrv installed, but don’t use it of most time. Gamepad works natively) by the line:
