How can I find out size of an already installed applications?

I have a question
How can I find out size of an already installed applications??

That how much disk space is acquired by the application

pacman -Qi <package name>

Look at the “Installed size” part

Got it 👍 thankyou

You don’t get the sizes of app’s data and dependencies through

How to get these

You can also see the dependencies using pacman -Qi. So, just do the same thing with each of the dependencies.

Or, install expac & run this command:
expac -S -H M ‘%n’ <package name>

Disk detective or cables damaged

I thinks it’s dead now

install badblocks into the iso and run
badblocks -vs /dev/sda

badblocks is a good program to mark damaged disk sectors for a partition or the whole disk, and you can incorporate that badblocks list into ext4 partition

Icons of some categories (like Settings, Accessories etc) missing in default Adwaita theme. How to fix this?

install any icons theme that is not adwaita

But in other distro even in Adwaita theme icons are not missing. This issue is with file in arch repository or with xfce?

Is hicolor theme installed?

okay thank u

is because of xfce and also adwaita ,so i would suggest use greybird-gtk theme with elementary icon pack, they are recommended by xfce team

It’s only since a few versions that on gnome the icons are part of the application and not included in the adwaita icon pack anymore. So other distros might have the old version or repack the icons.

No, hicontrast is installed. I want to keep it minimalistic so I haven’t installed any theme. Adwaita and high contrast are installed by default.

then you have to install the icon theme

adwaita doesn’t provide icons for everything

btw: adwaita-icon-theme depends on hicolor-icon-theme

are you using Arch?

Yes, I am using vanilla arch not any arch based distro.

then you cannot have adwaita-icon-theme without hicolor-icon-theme

how do I prevent the kernel to update, I just want to update everything except the kernel as kernel update breaks my wifi driver..

Can you link the bug report?

m8 read the msg

I would suggest you use the lts kernel instead. Keeping a kernel from updating indefinitely will cause you issues in the long run

🕯 + 🧨 = 🔥

like what issue?

any timeshift user around, i want grub to update automatically when i take a snap. How can i implement that ?

The rest of the base system will get update but the kernel and drivers won’t. That’s a security issue right there. But there might be issues too with the system requiring new code from the kernel, but you won’t have it, since it’s outdated.

Which wifi driver?

it’s an kernel module https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw8852be

You need to update your copy, builds have been fixed already. https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw8852be/commit/4cff135d9e661d7bcbd4178ab5a1b1bef4e7279c

ikr

Sure. Just rebuild the AUR package to use the latest commit.
