Thank you! I was wondering if there would be one soon. Glad some people were already offering to do the job.

Good time to look into splitting and sharing your Costco membership. Possibly remove you and your partner, and go half with someone else.

I just installed it this summer using ArchInstall. I’m on Pipewire as well.

I’m looking to use the microphone too.

It works great but only with the wireless dongle. It works poorly with Bluetooth, and doesn’t work at all with direct USB connection. My original question was hoping to see if I could quickly resolve direct USB connection with the headphones since that seems like it may be the easier to get a great connection.

I’m also on ArchLinux!

I recommend something like the app DavX if you want to sync your calendar to Nextcloud or something.

I use a Navidrome server and ProjectBlue app on my Android. I haven’t figured out how to download music for offline use by using my ProjectBlue app though.

What’s a better alternative for a CPU

This reply within this thread helped me with this other machine. I’m back up and running well again. https://lemmy.ca/post/48538362/17944139

I’m guessing SystemD wasn’t broken on this one like the other one.

Thanks @take6056@feddit.nl

This just happened on another one of my computers with BTRFS. I didn’t run pacman or manually run any other installations or updates. This is on a vanilla ArchLinux machine I’ve installed KDE using archinstall a few months ago. I use this machine often and its the first time it happened on this machine. Perhaps Discovery or Flatpak ran an update in the background. I’m not aware of automatic updates being enabled though.

I have a problem when my computer where when I put it in sleep, or press the power bottom once, it automatically turns back on after sleeping / shutting down. I get frustrated with this sometimes and force shutdown my computer, either by holding the power button or pulling the cable. I know I shouldn’t do this. Turning on my monitor, going into the UI, safely shutting down my computer can become very time consuming on my busy schedule. Its rare it happens, but life happens and I sometimes don’t have time to wait a minute for my computer.

May I note when going through archinstall and choosing a filesystem, do we want BTRFS or EXT4 to be shown as the default option? Currently BTFS is shown. And there is no way these errors are happening this easy for me, and not across the board.

The backup time machine aspect as BTFS is what drawn me. Except now I strongly agree with @CrankyRebel to stay away from BTRFS, at least for personal out-of-the-box Desktop filesystems.

I’ve been loving Qobuz so far. Migrating our family was easier than I thought.

Plus it comes with a free music migration tool.

Qobuz distributed royalties due to labels and publishers corresponding to an average amount of US$0.01873 per stream

This means that Qobuz generates on average five times more revenue per user than the market average,

How much does Spotify pay per stream?

Spotify pays artists between $0.003 - $0.005 per stream on average.

That works out as an approx revenue split of 70/30 - so that’s 70% to the artist/rights holders and 30% to Spotify.

OrganicMaps and CoMaps are also good similar options.

No errors came up when I tried that.

My system was also freezing with message “Starting Flush Journal to Persistent”.

Adding the following to /etc/systemd/journald.conf made the error go away. Storage=persistent

Then the system was freezing with message “Create files and directories.” Doing the following made the message go away.

mv /tmp /old.tmp mkdir /tmp chmod 777 /tmp

But now I’m system freezes with message “Starting D-Bus System Message Bus”

Thanks. I tried this, was able to get into my system. After playing around with WPA_supplicant and IP link, I was able to get internet and run the updates with pacman.

But I’m getting a similar problem as I was having at some point before, where I boot into a black screen, I can change the terminal with CTL + Alt + F1, then my login screen shows up, put my password, and the login freezes.

When I booted into my system earlier to do the updates, I used init=/bin/bash, but SystemD didn’t auto start then, hence why I used WPA_supplicant. Perhaps SystemD is still not starting, hence why I’m not able to log in or open other terminal window.

If y’all seen my recent post about messing up my Arch install, I needed to reformat my PC. I never had problems with range because. The mouse connected better than my keyboard. Now my mouse is the thing part causing range problems. I tried connecting to different USB ports. Played around like heck with openrazer and different frontend software like Polychromatic. Still having a range issue.

I do have Bluetooth and Wifi setup on the computer, even though I use Ethernet. I’ll tried shutting them off and see if it improves. Thanks!

The command had the --decrypt option so I thought that would make it decrypt.

I was following step 1.3 here, in trying to “decrypting LUKS2 devices in-place.”

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Removing_system_encryption

How to search this subforum specifically for the Gen 2 Pro?

If a device gets bricked, how do people unbrick them?

Are there guides or documentation for how to do this for me or future devs that are interested?

Thanks! However I thought it was advised to stay away from Aurora away because of it uses a less strong worthy app repository, in that malicious actors could upload stuff.
