OpenRC / Re: I can't shutdown or reboot my PC.
Last post by ####### -
If this was due to an update and not because of something you configured or installed yourself, you might reinstall and things will work, but after you update they may not. Plus if you do a massive single update when you bring the iso to current versions, it will be harder to determine which package was the cause, providing you had been updating regularly before the problem emerged.
See the post from Nous here:

There are other ways to downgrade too. It's expected in a cutting edge rolling release distro you might need to downgrade selected packages occasionally, so it's worth learning about the methods involved.

System / Re: connman-gtk is not cycling IP addresses.
Last post by mrbrklyn -
I am beginning to understand why public wifis are always running out of leasable addresses.

I want to make this plain and simple...

CHANGING IP ADDRESSES DOES NOT MAKE YOUR SYSTEM SECURE.
Instead of SHOUTING you should probably read my reply to you.

and it sounds like you are already rooted.
Not after I wipe and reinstall, and at least not in the first 10 minutes of connecting to the network.
After that it's a game of Cat and Mouse. Who is faster, the Cat or the Mouse?



I did read it and what I said is the facts.  100% your system should not be hacked 10 minutes after being on a network if you have the least bit of common sense and security.  You get ZERO extra security by changing your IP address..

OpenRC / Re: I can't shutdown or reboot my PC.

Hello everyone! Today I tested the troublesome commands in a live cd and they worked exactly as intended which for me solidifies that this isn't a hardware issue as some users have suggested. I also switched to linux-lts and unfortunately, that didn't fix it either. I can look at upgraded packages and see if I find something there, but unless somebody has an idea soon, I may just reinstall Artix, I've been thinking about reinstalling for some time now anyway so it's not a huge deal. I didn't exactly want to do that right now, but maybe this is just the motivation I need. Anyway, thanks for everybody's help! I'm not giving up immediately, so if you have any ideas left, please share.

Rankmirrors is in the AUR.
❌WRONG❌ *squirts spray bottle at you*

It's provided by pacman-contrib.
It's easy to get confused.
pacman-contrib - rankmirrors
AUR - rate-mirrors

All the cool kids use rate-mirrors 'cos it's rust, rust baby, has extra bloat, and only needs 187 dependencies compiled from Cargo.

If this started after an upgrade I'd look at /var/log/pacman.log to see what got upgraded then downgrade to when it was OK, then upgrade bit by bit to try and identify what package caused this. Kernel, permissions and power manager packages would be likely culprits, although sometimes it is something less obvious. Installing an LTS kernel is an easy thing to try initially, I agree. Hardware issue could also refer to a hardware specific bug , a problem that only affects certain machines.
