TIL you can install the Arch Wiki offline on your computer with pacman. To do this, run:

sudo pacman -S arch-wiki-docs

This installs the wiki in html form on your system at:

/usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en/

And can be read with your browser with:

file:///usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en/Main_page.html

If you don't want the html version, you can also install arch-wiki-lite and use CLI or even wikiman - which is another amazing tool and works on/for other distros github.com/filiparag/wikiman?t

@agowa338 if you refer to #OpenPGP cards here, have a look at the #ArchWiki article (and the upstream documentation) for the oct CLI: wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenP

TIL que se puede descargar toda la ArchWiki (incluyendo los artículos traducidos) para consultar offline.

`sudo pacman -S arch-wiki-docs`

Eso instala todo en `/usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html` y desde ahí se pueden explorar los artículos en html con el gestor de archivos o desde el mismo navegador.

@Natanox technically, in my case, #KDEneon integrates voluntary submissions of crash reports - it's called "Dr. Konqi". AFAIK, KDEneon is stable-ish Ubuntu PLUS a rolling scheme of KDE things.

Next time, i'd choose #Manjaro, because their scheme is slightly less "rolling release".

I keep hesitating, because everything keeps telling me that it's not-actually #ARCH #Linux, and the #ArchWiki doesn't exactly apply.

Also, it's not #Debian - i grew up on debs! …oof 😅

Human verification screen when attempting to access the Arch Wiki with JavaScript disabled. Reads "Making sure you're not a bot!"

#Linux audio is bizarrely confusing to a regular user lol - if I were to configure a #PulseAudio setting (i.e. clock.force-quantum) but obviously most systems now have moved to using #PipeWire, but from what I can tell or think to understand is that systems use PipeWire via something called #WirePlumber, should this (user-specific) configuration be done in a WirePlumber config, or PipeWire? I normally could learn these things easily through the #ArchWiki, but so far, this topic is completely lost on me lol.

Das #VPN der #UniBonn gibt mittlerweile eine äußerst unhilfreiche 404-not-found Fehlermeldung zurück, wenn man sich unter #Linux (#openconnect cli oder #NetworkManager GUI) verbinden möchte.

Die Lösung ist (natürlich!) wie hier¹ im #ArchWiki erwähnt:

> sudo openconnect --useragent=AnyConnect unibn-vpn.uni-bonn.de

Also dem Gateway vorgaukeln, dass man der Cisco AnyConnect client ist 😑

Everyone uses the @archlinux when faced with a complex topic right? Been very impressed with @SUSE documentation on and over the last few days. Super clear, well-written and with good background information to help understand the constraints / trade-offs. Well done technical-writers!

Another #KDE Wallet question I've been trying to figure out since last nite: Is it really not possible to have it auto-unlock once for all (allowed) apps to access/read from upon login in an autologin (SDDM) desktop?

Following the
#ArchWiki, it seems to suggest that you could (on #KDEPlasma) by:

- Installing
kwallet-pam
- Create a (default) wallet named
kdewallet using blowfish encryption instead of using a GPG key
- Set the same password for the wallet as your user password

and yet after an auto login to the desktop, whenever an app needs access to the wallet I created, I need to enter the password once for each app.

Perhaps I should also configure PAM as shown in the (confusing) subtopic of the linked guide in the wiki - eventho it says SDDM should not require any edit?

It said that these lines should be present (in PAM):

auth            optional        pam_kwallet5.so
session         optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

In my SDDM PAM file it mentions (
/etc/pam.d/sddm) on 2 of my devices on #EndeavourOS, it has those lines it mentions but with a leading hyphen - must I remove the hyphens maybe?
-auth       optional    pam_kwallet5.so
-session    optional    pam_kwallet5.so         auto_start

Update: I've tried updating said file and even another file I thought could be related
sddm-autologin but to no avail. Googling this returns mostly people telling to set an empty password to the Wallet which I do know works, but that's a lazy, insecure thing to do.

My most used sites that support #OpenSearch *and* suggestions, are:

#DuckDuckGo duckduckgo.com
#Wikipedia wikipedia.org
#ArchWiki wiki.archlinux.org
#PCGamingWiki pcgamingwiki.com
#ICheckMovies icheckmovies.com
#Startpage startpage.com

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSear Short version: it gives you search right in your address bar, ideally with suggestions as you type. If it doesn’t, I don’t bother.

Lol. I was being a bit annoyed at the wording of the #ecdsa concern section in the #archwiki as it lacks neuance and largely just quotes You Know Who^tm as the source.

However it seems like #Wikipedia has almost an identical section on it's wikipage.

Turns out someone just copypasted the section from archwiki.

Why is it so difficult to set up to make it automatic login for my online services?? I've gotta read the better. My true and only bible.

EDIT: not the way I would want it to work, but at least it's something. Damn.
