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…

Connect to WiFi with iwctl (iNet wireless daemon)
Part of the Arch Linux appeal is how minimal it is. With this minimalism comes adopting command-line tools to do the basic things we take for granted, like connecting to Wi-Fi. While this isn’t necessarily the case if you install a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE, but it definitely…

Free up disk space on Arch Linux by clearing your pacman cache
Generally speaking, I tend to run Linux with a single partition. But, with my work laptop, I [for some unknown reason] had opted to run with a dual partition setup, for root / and home /home. Not the most earth shattering setup, but I did end up starving my root…

yay: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.12
One of my favorite things about Arch Linux is the Arch User Repository (AUR). It’s a community maintained collection of packages for just about every damn thing you may want or need. One of my least favorite things about Arch Linux is that the Arch package manager, pacman doesn’t install…

Unlock user after too many failed sudo attempts
As many of you may already know, I tend to blog about the real-life problems that I’ve run into in the previous week or so. This makes it easy to come up with blog content, but also gives me a dedicated resource to reference if/when one of these problems pops…

Automatically update Arch Linux mirrors
Arch Linux is still my favorite Linux distro for desktop use and once you get it set up (which may take you a few tries, if it’s your first foray) it tends to be pretty solid. That is, until you start seeing 404 error messages when you run pacman, yay,…

Broken icons on OpenWeather GNOME Extension
I don’t use many GNOME Extensions. Nothing against them, but less extensions means less crap to break when the latest GNOME release drops. For the most part, I opt for extensions that well maintained and not prone to breaking between major releases. Things were peachy for a while, but recently…

Problem importing keys for Spotify on Arch Linux
Spotify’s been giving some grief as of late when trying to upgrade it on my Arch Linux System. Actually, who am I kidding, I’ve actually been having a handful of issues with GNOME since the last major upgrade. More on that once I figure out how to fix some of…

reflector.service exists in filesystem (owned by reflector-timer)
I’ve been a bad Arch Linux user recently. Even though I speak highly about being able to run the most cutting edge software, I’ve been slacking and didn’t run an update for a while. This was primarily because I didn’t really feel like having to figure out any problems that…

swapon: swapfile has holes
While I do absolutely adore Arch Linux, it wouldn’t be Arch without running an upgrade and having a problem crop up out of no where. This time around, the issue showed up after a reboot when I saw the following error scroll past before I was presented with the GNOME…
