      Manjaro – Static IP Address

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Tuesday, 1 November, 2022 - 18:19 edit

    It surprised me today that all of my Manjaro builds are using DHCP. I needed to make one of the devices a static IP, as it delivers DHCP, and would be a cyclic relationship if it tried to get an IP address from itself before it enabled the interface used to give out IP addresses. &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Nvidia… again!

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Wednesday, 15 June, 2022 - 17:22 edit

    Yep, whilst applying some updates to Manjaro, my screen goes blank and the system dies. This time the updates are with 5.17, and it forced me to reboot and install 5.18. This was a little tricky as I could not boot 5.17 at all, and had to resort to 5.16 – glad I kept that. &ellipsisRead the full post »

    I caused myself a few hours of frustration today. I installed a new instance of Manjaro today, and it applied some Lynis security suggestions that I didn’t fully realise the impact of. Error registering authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Cannot determine user of subject (polkit-error-quark, 0) When I went to run pamac to install Visual Studio Code &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Nvidia Nightmare Returns

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Tuesday, 25 January, 2022 - 20:18 edit

    After an upgrade on Manjaro, I got no graphical environment. Looking in the logs it tells me something is going on with nvidia: Then trying the reinsntall at a command prompt: It complained about all kinds of kernel drivers not being found linux510-nvidia, linux513-nvidia and not being able to uninstall because of dependencies for psensor, &ellipsisRead the full post »

      Manjaro Gnome Failure After Update

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Wednesday, 19 May, 2021 - 17:15 edit

    Today I took the rolling updates and as it was updating I got an error message that I didn’t understand. I sensed trouble ahead and sure enough after a reboot I get no GDM logon. I was able the CTRL+ALT+F2 to get into a terminal session and a brief trawl of journalctl -b told me &ellipsisRead the full post »

    My office PC is setup to authenticate against our LDAP server and is configured using the Arch guidance here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LDAP_authentication I managed to miss one important step with was the sudoers entry in nsswitch.conf and after adding it this things went wrong in some special ways.

      Don’t Go To Sleep

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Thursday, 6 May, 2021 - 13:10 edit

    I need my office PC to be permanently available so I can access it remotely. This was working just fine after I disabled all the sleep mode settings when I was logged on at work. Then I remotely rebooted and after a period of inactivity the machine went to sleep. This was because no one &ellipsisRead the full post »

    After a reboot I found I was being presented with an authentication dialog after login stating: setting rfkill state requires authentication It turns out this is to do with blueman.

      Terminal Not Starting

      pubsub.slavino.sk / warlord0blog · Saturday, 3 April, 2021 - 16:47 edit

    I just installed Manjaro on my laptop and found a quirk problem where the terminal won’t fire up. I resorted to installing xfce-terminal to see what was doing on. Looking at journalctl I find this: I took a look at my /etc/locale.conf and it looked fine: Checked localectl: Then looked through /etc/locale.gen and found de_DE.UTF8 &ellipsisRead the full post »
