SUPPORT My Pc struggles to connect with my router.

• Upvotes

So I am a newbie to arch, but I am having troubles connecting to the 5ghz band of my network and it barely sustains connection to the 2.4ghz band and when it does, it crawls. It always says failed to connect. I am not sure if this part of the log would help but I see “NetworkManager[590]: <info> [1791858175.5678] device (wlp2s0): state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable', managed-type: 'full')”

I have tried restarting the network manager and I am almost thinking if reinstalling the os would be the best move. Do you guys have anyway to help?

SUPPORT Update bricked my system

0 Upvotes

So I run KDE plasma and an RTX3080 (thought it was worth mentioning for diagnosing)

Normally wayland is too buggy for me, but had success running it for the last few weeks. Today I went to run my near-daily update of pacman. I happened to notice something about removing “plasma-x11” and replacing it with “plasma-sessions” (might not have been “plasma”, because I didn’t pay it much attention tbh).

After the update, it kicked me out to an unfamiliar login screen (lost some progress, it’s annoying that there was no warning). Logging back in worked, but my screen had an offset bug again (common for me in wayland).

So I went to reboot into x11, but I don’t have any boot options now, only “reboot into firmware interface” which is just UEFI. I haven’t backed up my 2 recent projects, and I super dooperly don’t want to have to start over again (one project is f-ing davinci resolve, so you can recover, you have to be properly logged in!!! God, why do I use davinci still?)

SUPPORT [Help] Physical power button stopped working for suspend after updating to KDE Plasma 6.8 on Arch Linux

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm using Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 6.8, and after updating KDE, my PC no longer responds when I press the physical power button.

My setup

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Desktop environment: KDE Plasma 6.8
  • Display manager: plasma display manager
  • Power button action: Set to Sleep/Suspend in KDE Power Management

The problem

When I press the physical power button, absolutely nothing happens. Previously, I expected the computer to suspend.

However, running the following command in a terminal works perfectly:

systemctl suspend

The PC suspends and wakes up normally, so the suspend functionality itself appears to be working.

What I've tried / checked

  • Verified that the power-button action is set to Sleep/Suspend in KDE Power Management.
  • Confirmed that manual suspension using systemctl suspend works.
  • The issue appeared after updating to KDE Plasma 6.8.

My questions

  1. Could this be a KDE Plasma 6.8 / PowerDevil regression?
  2. How can I determine whether the physical power-button event is being detected by the kernel or systemd-logind?
  3. Is there a way to troubleshoot PowerDevil's handling of the power button without changing my working suspend configuration?

Any suggestions or diagnostic commands would be appreciated. Thanks!Hi everyone,I'm using Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 6.8, and after updating KDE, my PC no longer responds when I press the physical power button.My setupOS: Arch Linux

SUPPORT | SOLVED To fix QEMU mouse lag on Wayland with mouse integration use -device virtio-tablet-pci

6 Upvotes

So I was still on X11 on my QEMU guest since using -usb -device usb-tablet as recommended by the Wiki caused the guest mouse to lag. Now that X11 was removed I had to switch.

Replacing the above command with -device virtio-tablet-pci fixed the issue for me. Hope someone else finds it useful.
