Running Endeavouros with 5.15.10-arch1-1 kernel. Everything is working fine.
DE: Plasma 5.23.4 in use.
Every time after updating getting warning that states that there is no HOME folder.
This kind of message is shown: “Warning: $HOME not set. Using /tmp.”.
I can of course create a HOME folder, but what else should I tell to the system as super user or root ?
Or is it simpliest way to install whole operating system by making new partitioning where “HOME”- partition is included ?
For what is worth, on Arch (-based) systems, the use of GUI package manager with packagekit is not recommended. The process of installing/updating packages is not transparent and you would miss those cases where a user intervention is necessary.
I have been following Youtuber called “Stephen’s Tech Talks”.
And, yes it was from video about Arch Linux where “Discover” was mentioned. I have done now terrible things. I’m going to remove whole “Discover” now.
Thank You folks for helping with this.
Learned again something.
That’s your problem. There is nothing wrong with your system, you’re just updating it wrongly. For some reason, Discover does not see the value of the HOME environment variable, that’s an issue with Discover.
To update your system, run the command:
yay
There will be no errors about the missing HOME directory.
One of the devs from yay has left the project, and wrote paru in another language. Both are reliable, and can handle it all. Both are updated regularly so far. yay is a bit easier to use (better defaults) but an alias or 2 can make that point moot. Choose what you like - we all do!
