Sounds like you want a humane AI pin!
God yes please, got to be better than who we’re stuck with at the moment
I ended up solving it by installing kde plasma. I’d previously tried with as minimal an install as possible to narrow down the problem, but it seems all I had to do was carry on setting things up as I’d originally wanted!
I’ve got Windows 11 on my work laptop and the only 2 benefits I’ve seen are notepad now has tabs and auto save, and snipping tool can now record videos. On the downsides the new start menu is so shit I only ever use it for search now, which is also shit (it frequently misses the first few letters when I press the windows key and start typing), and the new right click menu is annoying.
Probably uses less power
But it’s called a desktop!
Nah I don’t really need the latest kernel, I’m just worried the it’s kernel will eventually be updated and get the same problem
That makes sense, for the amount I use this laptop I won’t worry about it for now! It wasn’t noticeably dusty when I opened it yesterday, and the errors occur immediately after booting so I wouldn’t expect it to heat up that fast
In that case if it still works should I just ignore the error for now and replace the card if it causes any issues?
Thanks that’s sorted it! I must have not noticed the error before as I usually install btrfs-progs after chrooting and it looks like installing it triggers mkinitcpio to run again anyway
How?
By safe I guess I more meant should I be doing anything beforehand. I’m running snapper on btrfs so even if I do completely destroy everything it’s not too much of an issue but I’d rather avoid it if possible!
I found out how to check for orphaned packages with pacman thanks to another comment so I’ve removed them now
Wow I seem to have loads
I never knowingly installed these, the only packages I’ve intentionally installed from the AUR are heroic games launcher and 7-zip. And the only kde programs I’ve manually installed is the plasma-meta package, kde connect and ksnip. I think they were previously part of the plasma-meta package and have now been removed or replaced with the plasma 6 versions
Any chance you can send it to me as well?
I just tried increasing it but the maximum I can set is 255 and that made no difference unfortunately. All the Windows VMs are also set at 8 and they don’t have any problems
I hope its not a hardware issue, the 2 VMs were running on 2 separate hosts within the cluster so hopefully that’s unlikely! Thanks for taking a look
I’ve just edited the main post with links for the journalctl output. The purpose was just to test some network config, I managed to do what I needed anyway but I’m just curious as to why I had issues with these VMs!
I just left it as default which is 1 display and 8mb video memory
