0 Upvotes

Im currently on a 5050 laptop with a ryzen 7 250, and im on cachyos-sources 7.2.9 kernel. I heard some people talk about how the 7.3 version is still not in great shape, just wondering if i should wait until they release a better version.

Bug Report Mesa update in cachyos repository still in version 26.2.4

9 Upvotes

My CPU is v4 capable and I don't understand why there is no mesa in cachyos-v4 repository (and there is in cachyos-v3 ??), so my mesa driver is updating from cachyos repository, but the version there is stucked at 26.2.4 while all other repos has already 26.2.5. In Arch extra repo there is already 26.2.5 so why it doesn't update from there? Can anyone explain how does it work?

Desktop What is the top kernel level AC game you would play if it came to Linux?

17 Upvotes

With the discussions of EAC becoming more linux friendly and CachyOS making an option for kernel level AC, what is the one game you would pick up immediately if it makes its kernel anti-cheat work on Linux?

I'll start with a game I pray never comes to Linux. League of Legends. I hope to all that is holy that Riot has some phobia of Linux users for forever because if that game comes over here, then I know for a fact my addiction will return with a vengeance, and I have finally had a year of being able to sleep properly, something I haven't had in quite awhile XD

Help CachyOS seems to have bricked itself.

28 Upvotes

I'm not sure what to say here, but my system all of a sudden broke while I was playing Subnautica 2. First the lockscreen broke, then I tried restarting KDE and that failed. I tried restarting my computer but it'd lock up as soon as plasmalogin loaded, none of the TTY's would work, so I decided to chroot from my live USB to run a pacman update. I got this when I tried running it: fish: Job 1, 'pacman -Syu' terminated by signal SIGBUS (Misaligned address error). I am kinda at a loss of what to do.

Linux Kernel 7.2.11-1-cachyos
KDE Plasma 6.7.11(?)
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
32GB DDR4 2666
RTX 4070 TI
BTRFS filesystem with 20 GiB unallocated space 37GiB Free (from df -h)
Pretty new to CachyOS (and Arch)

If you need more info, I will gladly share it, I just didn't know exactly what I needed to share.

Edit: Forgot to mention flatpak does the same thing, so it seems whatever happened is affecting a lot of utilities on my system.

Question NTFS to BRTFS

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Im one of those people who uses Windows, but every now and then feels the urge to switch back to Linux - and then switch back again. Right now Im still missing the full range of features when it comes to Game Pass (I know Xodus does a great job).

The question thats giving me a headache right now: Is it possible to convert NTFS to BFS without constantly copying data back and forth?

Desktop So I just installed and setup CachyOS + Hyprland coming from Windows Game Dev background....

Post image
11 Upvotes

Yeah so just as the title says, and I don't want to love it. But I'm, loving it.
So as I said I do Game Development primarily on Windows in Godot, Unity, and Unreal. But recently, I though I needed a break from Windows. And given the OS was already deteriorating from 3+ years of projects and work. I thought I'd just see what was I was missing and download Arch Linux.

This post is just to get feedback from the community on if I made a good choice (posting this in a CachyOS subreddit probably would sway towards good ). But also I came to ask a few questions on software and programs I should get to make Hyprland / Waybar look good, and on what I can / can't download on linux ( like adobe software )

Device name is MSI CLAW EX 8ai+ with the g3e chip

My screen is OS as if it's bigger than my visual OS. As I move my mouse, it move the screen around as if extending my OS is bigger than my visual screen. When I have my mouse at the middle of the screen, I can't seen any sides. As I move my mouse up, right, down, left, it shows everything.

What is this and how do I disable it?

SOLVED Solved Random Freezing!

9 Upvotes

TL;DR: If you're getting random freezes, memtest your EXPO profile and try disabling global C-state control in your BIOS.

Relevant Specs: Ryzen 7 9800X3D, ROG Strix B650E-I, RTX 5070 Ti, Corsair SF750, 32GB (2x16GB) G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL30

I've been running CachyOS for a few months now and overall it's been great. I like to tinker, so it's a good fit. I mainly use it as a daily driver for YouTube, web browsing, and quite a bit of gaming (007 First Light has been smooth as butter).

Recently I moved and had to store my PC for a few weeks. The CMOS battery must have drained or something, because my BIOS settings got reset. No biggie, I just re-enabled EXPO and booted back up.

Then I started getting random hard freezes in a couple of scenarios. First, it would lock up during regular browsing, and the only fix was a hard reset. Later, I'd see freezes on the lock screen, or the PC wouldn't wake from sleep. Troubleshooting revealed my memory was failing MemTest. My heart sank. The RAM kit is still under warranty, but I was super frustrated.

I tested a bunch of configurations (EXPO off, individual sticks in different slots, BIOS update) and figured out the profile was the problem. There were two, and I'd picked an unstable one by accident. That fixed the freezes during regular use, but not the lock screen ones.

So I kept digging until I remembered another BIOS setting. Back on Windows I'd disabled C-states, hoping it would help with coil whine (turns out the whine was coming from the GPU). The BIOS reset put that setting back to default, so I disabled C-states again to test, and voila! No more freezes on the lock screen for the past couple of weeks, and the PC sleeps as expected.

Definitely a rollercoaster bouncing between troubleshooting and spiraling over potentially needing to RMA the RAM. Figured if other people were experiencing similar issues I would just share what worked for me.
