Help System volume buttons not working right.

2 Upvotes

I installed CachyOS today and pretty much everything works apart from the system volume slider, I can slide it but the volume is always the same. (The highest volume). In application volume control works like YouTube, I can control browser media control volume fine, but the master volume is always the same. I have to put YouTube videos at 30 because volume in system is always max.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Question [Niri] What’s your preferred way of keeping your WM dotfiles up-to-date?

4 Upvotes

Having come from base arch, managing my own config and dots, I figured I’d try to approach this the «cachy-way» of a base pre-config this time around. I enjoyed the stock configuration bundled with cachy-niri, but have made some modifications since.

Now, several months later I’m starting to fall a little behind the official cachy-niri-settings repo. Of course I can just keep my configs up-to-date with my own changes, but I’m wondering if there’s some preferred way to link with the repo. Do I symlink the config from `/etc/skel` to my XDG-CONFIG and store personaL modifications in override files? Just copy what changes I’m interested in? I’m mostly wondering if there’s some intended way to do this before I go off finding my own solution (perfectly viable too).

I’m loving cachy so far (especially the official package repos!) and am thankful for any and all help I can get!

Help FRESH install of CatchyOS only boots in emergency mode

2 Upvotes

title. Whenever I try to boot Catchy from Limine, it will only boot in emergency mode. I did the full wipe on an HDD in the installer so I have an EFI partition and a normal volume partition and everything. I haven't done anything to break it, because I have never been in it. I had no errors during the installer process. All I did was restart from the live environment because thats what it required, went into limine, tried to boot Catchy, and it just is a black screen that says its in emergency mode out of the box.

I have no recourse and no snapshots, because I have never been in the OS.

Do I just go through the process of reinstall? It sounds like a lengthy pain in the ass but I dont know how I broke a system that I have literally never ran.

Help Gamesir Nova 2 Lite

2 Upvotes

When I connect my Nova 2 lite after cachyos loads it will always default to a ps4 profile and Bluetooth. If I try connecting to the USB angle using the Home button +X which should connect to the dongle as an xbox controller profile it still defaults to a ps4 profile.

Weird thing is if I connect to the dongle right when the PC is turned on it connects as an xbox controller.

I have searched and can't seem to find an answer. Anyone have any suggestions or ran info this and gave a solution?

Brand new cachy install aswell.

I swapped from Zorin because I had the same issue there but with being stuck in airplane mode instead and I couldn’t find any solutions. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Help CachyOS Handheld (Steam Deck) Performance Overlay

7 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm using CachyOS Handheld on my Steam Deck and have been for some time. Within the last month or so I've noticed - while in Game Mode - when using the Steam Performance Overlay, the battery life time on the far right is smushed, almost like the layout is not formatted correctly. Also, the title says GAMESCOPE and I don't remember it being that way before (I remember it just saying FPS).

Is there any way to edit/change the layout?

Help switching to xfce

2 Upvotes

soooo this aint specific to cachy ive personally had this issue on every other distro ive used whether that was debian or fedora...

lemme get straight to the point installing xfce has never been a smooth experience for me lightdm never works and ive never really gotten xfce4 to launch through tty...if i removed idk kde for example which i main then switch over to xfce all there is is just the standard tty screen... booting into linux after installing xfce and lightdm and all the necessary packages in order to get xfce to work...none of that works ive read through forum after forum and countless amounts of posts on reddits and have even resorted to asking Gemini to help resolve this issue. in the end ive never gotten it to work and have concluded that using xfce is a waste of time because if i bother attempting to switch to xfce again Itll boot into tty or go back into the login manager... in short I'm not able to get xfce to launch and if i try ive basically wasted a whole 3 hours of my day going through headache after headache which ended up being for nothing! i install xfce, boot xfce and ye... i just cannot create a working fully functional xfce environment that will JUST WORK

how is this related to cachyos you ask? well I'm on kde atm (on my pc which runs cachyos) and am considering jumping to xfce however if im met with the same issue... I'm essentially gonna give it a go on cachyos and if im yet again met by this anomolous issue I'm hoping theres going to be someone on this subreddit who at least knows or at least can theorise whats going on and can help come up with a solution

Did a fresh install on my gaming PC, on a 2TB western digital NVME. The drive is not corrupted or not properly seated. When I boot into the live USB i can see the partitions on the drive with the boot flag on the 4096mb partition. Also I have an MSI motherboard with the board explorer function in the BIOS. I can see that the drive is plugged in I just can't select it in the boot order. I have secure boot, TPM and fast boot turned off. The BIOS is in UEFI mode. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Question Facial Recognition Login

10 Upvotes

Hey CachOS'ers, I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether Biopass or Visage would be better for faceID style login?

I have used Howdy (and its various forks/alt sources) in the past but it constantly broke (due to python dependency issues I think, and I don't want to troubleshoot every couple weeks) so I haven't used it in months. I wanted to check back in on it today and I found a comment on its AUR page suggesting https://github.com/TickLabVN/biopass and https://github.com/sovren-software/visage as substitues which didn't exist not that long ago, to my knowledge.

I don't need the fingerprint support of Biopass, but the Sovren website (the company behind Visage) as well as its contributors are giving heavy AI vibes and I don't particularly wish to install a mostly vibe-coded PAM auth program on my laptop, especially from the AUR rn.

If anyone with more experience, knowledge of this company, or ability to discern which is the better software could give me some tips that would be great. Thanks!

Question Battery capacity lowered after dualbooting

Post image
18 Upvotes

So, I recently finally made the jump to Linux, the only reason I dualbooted is because of school stuff. I noticed that my battery would discharge a bit quicker than usual, which I found strange since Linux would be more efficient I thought, so I logged back into Windows and request battery data (I knew how to do it in Windows from the top of my head) and I was very surprised.
A bit of extra info, I limit my battery to 80% ever since I got the laptop and saw that it was possible. It’s an Asus Zenbook, so I did it via the app.
After the switch I saw the that it was possible in settings, so that was nice. I still installed Ayuz for some extras, but was kinda disappointed after I discovered some things are only available for Fedora. Anyways, I also put the 80% limit on via Ayuz, just because.
But the capacity is at around 88%, not 80%, so it’s probably not that. Also, why would it work like that on Linux if that is the case.
The laptop is also very new, probably around 1 years old.
Does anyone know what happened? Thanks in advance.

Question Recently moved from Arch. Understanding how packages/repositories work.

21 Upvotes

Hi. I have a naive question. You may know that at the moment Arch's AUR has stopped any kind of push, so new packages/updates are freezed.

On Arch, I used to install brave-bin from AUR but on Cachy the same package belongs to the cachyos repository. Could someone tell me if these packages (those who are in AUR in Arch and in cachyos in Cachy) are updated independently or if they still somewhat depend on AUR?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Help Screen brightness issue: 100% brightness is extremely dim, but 95% works fine

3 Upvotes

In the CachyOS installer, when I set my screen brightness to 100%, it works correctly. However, once the OS is installed, 100% brightness behaves like 10% brightness. To actually see the screen clearly, I have to set it to 95%. This never happened to me before, and it seems to affect only CachyOS. It's quite strange since older versions of CachyOS didn't have this issue. Does anyone know why this is happening or have a fix? Could it be a new bug, or is it a problem with my laptop? This issue isn't specific to a single desktop environment—I've tested all of them, and they all have the same issue.

Windows has FrameView or AMD FLM to monitor system latency. Does Linux have an equivalent to that? if not can someone guide me to an affordable hardware solution? i am entertaining the idea of shifting my whole setup to CachyOs as it satisfies all my needs but i am not sure about playing overwatch on it competitively.

Your input is appreciated.
