[SOLVED] 2 Bugs
Hi all,
I have been looking at the best site to report 2 bugs that have happened to me ,and wanted to apologize if it is not the right place to open this post.
I'm an Arch user (the laptop I used to install Artix, has had Arch for several years), but a friend told me about Artix and wanted to give it a try. But after trying it, I had to leave it because of 2 bugs that I have seen (one I could fix, but the other is not).
OS: Artix + openrc + plasma + GUI
Laptop: HP EliteBook 2560p
1º Bug: When you install Artix, the installation finishes successfully, with no errors. When it finished, it asked me to restart, and when it did, it never started, as it did not recognize the bootloader. I tried several images from various desktops, and only the xfce one worked for me (I installed it, and rebooting started the bootloader). I always made sure that the boot put it in /dev/sda (by default). I went back to plaman + openrc, burned the iso again, reinstalled it again (many times), it still didn't work, I also tried to make the partitions by hand, but the same, it didn't start the bootloader.
Finally, I installed, I booted the live version with the usb and looking at the disk with fdisk, I saw that the disk did not have the bootable label marked, that is, all I had to do is "fdisk /dev/sda" and then mark the option "a".
DOS (MBR)
a conmuta el indicador de iniciable
By doing this, I was able to start Artix.
2º Bug: when I raise the brightness to the maximum (it does not matter if I do it from the brightness option within settings or if I do it with the fn + (f9 / f10) keys when it reaches the maximum brightness, directly the screen turns black and I have no way to see anything again. No matter I reboot, no matter what I do. The only solution I have seen is to boot from the live version and delete the .config folder from my profile.
But if I turn the brightness back up to maximum, the same thing happens again.

I wanted to comment on both problems that I have seen. For my part, I think I'm going to go back to Arch on this particular laptop and try Artix on another pc, in case these things are exclusive to this pc model.
A greeting.
