Hello.

Is this LOCALE correct?

You’re not the first person I’ve seen using such weird locale. Are you following a guide other than the official installation method?

grazzolini 2022-08-09 22:42:36

It’s en_US.UTF-8, not en_US.UTF-8.UTF-8

Hmm… as I thought. There is a bug in the installer (archinstall). If you select the en_US utf-8 locale during installation, at the end, the file looks like this, incorrect.

Through the installer (archinstaller)

It could be a bug, but then again, it would be happening more often, and it isn’t. My suggestion is, try to reproduce this, and open an issue on GH

Through the installer (archinstaller)

Nvm, https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1200

The end of `/etc/locale.gen` is appended with two `en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8`. · Issue #1200 · archlinux/archinstall – GitHub
The script appends two en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 at the end of /etc/locale.gen.

how fast it drains?

jessicacruz0 2022-08-10 06:04:29

ariefr 2022-08-10 06:03:10

how fast it drains?

I leave it shutdown whole night

jessicacruz0 2022-08-10 06:04:43

I dont know

broken_vortex 2022-08-10 06:17:33

I installed arch using installer script, and selected 2GB swapfile. I want to increase the swapfile size, but can’t find /swapfile or entry in /etc/fstab

broken_vortex 2022-08-10 06:29:49

Looks like arch installer does some zswap thing

Run the command: swapon
It will tell where swapfile is present

Yea, but how do I change this. It allocates on boot ig

So it’s zram. Have a look at this:

ariefr 2022-08-10 06:59:07

broken_vortex 2022-08-10 06:31:41

may be here: /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf

ariefr 2022-08-10 06:59:07

may be here: /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf

yeah, but I’m trying to find parameter to increase. Idk how exactly zram works, its all very confusing

Thanks, it worked

I use KDE Plasma on Arch.
Can someone point me to a good resource to rice it?

junebunny 2022-08-10 07:59:43

Tweaking KDE isn’t really something Arch-specific
KDE is fairly flexible though and makes it pretty easy to discover how to customize to your liking
