Not at all. Just general conversation about different experiences

Right. I am just happy I can start using Kde Plasma on Artix - it will become a good systemd free Arch.
I was a happy user of Manjaro OpenRC.
and I think Obarun may be taking the wrong path.

Regarding nvidia, I did sold my laptop to get rid of this mess. And found a good laptop with a matte display & intel iris card (& ssd & 16gb ram). It is hard to find a nvidia free laptop nowadays.

One word of caution for pamac. If you're using any DKMS drivers, (virtualbox, nvidia, etc) you'll want to do those updates from pacman &/or yaourt. pamac doesn't seem to re-run dkms when the updates are done so you'll either have to run it after pamac is finished or upon reboot. In the case of Nvidia getting updated, you'll definitely not want to have to deal with that reboot if the driver isn't recompiled before the reboot.

@psy0nic - I finally tried to install Virtualbox.
The problem is I am using kernel 4.14.31-1-lts. because LTS is more stable when using Docker.

There exists a package virtualbox-host-modules-artix 5.2.8-10 that depends on kernel 4.15.
and when I try to rebuild dkms module in /usr/src/vboxhost-5.2.8_OSE I got this :

=== Building 'vboxdrv' module ===
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/vboxhost-5.2.8_OSE/vboxdrv'
make V= CONFIG_MODULE_SIG= -C /lib/modules/4.14.31-1-lts/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/vboxhost-5.2.8_OSE/vboxdrv SRCROOT=/usr/src/vboxhost-5.2.8_OSE/vboxdrv -j4 modules
make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/4.14.31-1-lts/build'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/4.14.31-1-lts/build'
make[1]: *** [/usr/src/vboxhost-5.2.8_OSE/vboxdrv/Makefile.include.footer:101: vboxdrv] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/vboxhost-5.2.8_OSE/vboxdrv'
make: *** [Makefile:49: all] Error 2

Indeed '/usr/lib/modules/4.14.31-1-lts/build' has no Makefile.
it seems the LTS package does not come with the build env?

@psy0nic what did you mean by "rereuning dkms"?

If DKMS didn't run during your update via whatever you're using to do your updates, you can re-run it manually to have it recompile your DKMS driver packages by running:

Code: [Select]

sudo dkms autoinstall

You can chose individual drivers if you want but doing autoinstall is what I do because it does all the registered DKMS modules it finds are appropriate to recompile against a new kernel or to update the module because of a driver update.

Thanks.

but I think it will not work because the LTS folder doesn't have the build files:

$ find /usr/lib/modules/4.14.31-1-lts/build
/usr/lib/modules/4.14.31-1-lts/build
/usr/lib/modules/4.14.31-1-lts/build/vmlinux

There should be a makefile etc...

Do you have the kernel headers installed?

Code: [Select]


$ sudo find / -iname build 
/usr/lib/modules/4.15.14-1-ARTIX/build
/usr/lib/modules/4.15.14-1-ARTIX/build/include/config/build
/usr/lib/modules/4.14.32-1-lts/build
/usr/lib/modules/4.14.32-1-lts/build/include/config/build

Code: [Select]


ls /usr/lib/modules/4.14.32-1-lts/build/
arch   crypto   include  kernel    mm              samples   sound  virt
block  drivers  init     lib       Module.symvers  scripts   tools  vmlinux
certs  fs       Kconfig  Makefile  net             security  usr

oops !

I thought, but they were not.
(linux-lts-headers 4.14.32-1 to be installed)
Thanks

Virtualbox now works perfectly
