How to install dig on Arch Linux
If you haven’t picked up on it by now, I am a huge fan of the command-line. Simple applications, they do one thing really well and they can all be piped together to increase their power. One command-line application that I use on the regular is dig. The dig command…

libgedit-amtk and amtk are in conflict
One of my least favorite thing about Arch Linux is the frequency of updates. I get a ton of anxiety when I see the number of packages creep up past 100, but at the same time, I also hate having to update 3 or 4 times per day. To help…

How to enable multilib on Arch Linux
Even with all of the packages available in the Arch User Repository (AUR) it wouldn’t be Arch if I didn’t run into a scenario where I needed to install something from another repository other than the ones that I had enabled out of the box. The package in question would…

Error: Cannot find the fakeroot binary on Arch Linux
As you may already be aware, my blog is primarily a chronicle of the issues I’ve faced and how I’ve went about solving them. Switching back to Arch Linux from Debian recently, and left me with no shortage of new gotchas to document. Nothing that’s left me thinking moving back…

Switching from Arch Linux back to Debian
After the better part of the last decade running Arch Linux as my primary distro of choice on my laptops, I’ve decided to hang it up and move back to Debian. That’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with Arch Linux. In fact, it’s been one of my favorite…

How to change the hostname on Arch Linux
Admittedly, I rarely ever need to change the hostname of a system. I have my own standard naming convention that I use, and will set things up at the time of installation, never to be touched again. Recently with a new work machine, I deviated from said convention, and after…

How to fix signature is unknown trust on Arch Linux
My continued love/hate relationship with Arch Linux continually yields topics to blog about. This week’s topic reared it’s head while attempting to perform an update after waiting a bit longer than I usually do, which yielded an error about one or more of the keys being “of unknown trust”. Like…

How to fix tlp and power-profiles-daemon are in conflict on Arch Linux
I’ve been attempting to move to a more regimented weekly to every other week update of my Arch Linux systems. In doing so, I’ve stopped blocking Kernel updates and rebooting a bit more frequently. Of course, due to the nature of Arch Linux, less frequent updates means more packages to…
