Wiki is down - Cannot access "configure graphics card" page

Feedback Wiki

Are you folks aware that the Manjaro WIKI is down?

I need to access the Configure Graphics Card page to make hardware changes in my system.

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Configure_Graphics_Cards

The error message I get is:

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.

Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

(Cannot access the database)

The Wiki does often go down — I think the last time was only two or three days ago. It usually only lasts for a few hours.

It’s a server-side issue, so please be patient and try again in a few hours. :wink:

The Manjaro Wiki is currently up, however it’s been a bit flaky in the last 24 hours. See Manjaro Status

@philm

BTW every time I check http://status.manjaro.org it states the server is up when in fact it is not.

Is there a better place to be reporting this other than this forum?

@Manjaro-Team
the wiki-server is down since one day now. isn’t it time to check what’s wrong or is the wiki finally down ?

:backhand_index_pointing_down:

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/wiki-manjaro-linux-wiki-unavailable/187726/4

The notice is clear enough on the Manjaro Wiki:

It seems some have a short memory – it has only been a matter of months since the Arch Linux site was targeted in much the same way; affecting infrastructure and the AUR, especially.

Please bear with us. :bear: :polar_bear: :teddy_bear: :wink:

IMHO the best solution to this would be to create a package with the wiki in it for offline use. It could be scripted to update every so often and likely reduce traffic to the online wiki and make DDOS attacks redundant (or almost).

Arch linux provides arch-wiki-docs, Manjaro could easily package a manjaro-wiki-docs separately or repackage the arch wiki docs to include the manjaro wiki and call it manjaro-arch-wiki-docs.

I’d be happy to help with this, but my health makes me unreliable so I’d need backup.

I could probably help there too. arch-wiki-docs looks a lot like something that has been cloned from the website.

That’s how I understand it.

There is also arch-wiki-lite which is without HTML and can be viewed from the CLI.

I believe both are automatically generated on a regular basis these days.

Edit: Script is on github - same author as the packager.

Manjaro Wiki – Configure Graphics Cards (archived 2026-03-07)

This was something I thought of only after I made this thread. But thank you for posting this for others. Especially since that particular page has not changed in a long while.

15

If the wiki was maintained, manjaro-wiki-docs could make sense.

And nicely integrated with manjaro-hello!

But I think the wiki is in temporary limbo with the re-org.

16

I was thinking the same thing.

Hopefully after the re-org it can be opened to more contributors.

I’m back after a forced timeout (Internet device died… we had a wake)

Yes I think that too.

This thread was created before that notice was posted; and my first post in this thread was moved here prior to any information about bot attacks on the wiki.

I don’t understand your comment in relation to the two comments you quoted before it. You seem to have taken them out of context. No one was complaining; we were discussing a future where the wiki is improved and more accessible and not so easily put offline.

The thread may have been created before the notice on the Wiki.

However, your post was one day ago; my re-post was in turn from two days ago – immediately before another post of yours, in which you even acknowledged that “DoDOS” has been mentioned.

My re-post was nonetheless a reminder that the Wiki wasn’t “in temporary limbo with the re-org” – indeed, that there is no “re-org” – only script kiddies with too much time on their hands.

Yes, I’ve noticed you seem to have some difficulty.
