Hi. I tried to get rid of xorg. So I removed xorg, which removed a ton of unrelated things, like falkon and chromium while I thought they could run in wayland. Wel, think again Mehdi. So I put xorg back. Then no browser whatsoever works, they all go: mehdi@mehdi-80qr ~> qt.qpa.plugin: Could not…

[image] sentinel166: I’m interested by having the most lightweight desktop possible… EOS already is!

[image] sentinel166: after the first xorg removal, now it says: sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by the uid 0 et have the setuid bit set. su to root and reinstall sudo [image] sentinel166: so I set all /usr/bin/ to 755… think again !! You did that recursively? It only wanted you to …

[image] sentinel166: Each time I update the kernel or add a module, it says: ==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: xhci_pci ==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: wd719x ==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: aic94xx [image] [SOLVED] Po…

Obscure ? Oh, so intuitive… Ok :sweat_smile: Thanks sudo works again… “su” fails at authentification. Of course, same password. Pacman says: “filesystem: 777, package 755” Fortunately it doesn’t crash.

Also: [image] sentinel166: Plenty of little things, that I don’t know and shouldn’t have to either Plenty of things you don’t know and shouldn’t have to? Well, who should then?? Why don’t you need to know? Is it not your computer?? [image] sentinel166: Oh, so intuitive… Ok It’s very…

[image] anon63071375: It’s not obscure at all. Most of us see it every time we update. . . They were responding to my comment where I stated those warnings were related to obscure hardware.

Yes :sweat_smile: I also meant that the details of rights and filesystems should always be transparent. But in that case, I am to blame since I induced the bug in the first place by changing these rights earlier as I wanted to copy stuff freely in /usr/bin/. /bin/ should be protected, but i don’t s…

[image] sentinel166: none of my browsers run on wayland Firefox ? I’m using it on EOS-Sway.

Chromium works fine as well on wayland.

If I had screwed up my install as badly as this, I would just reinstall, 15 minutes verses hours of pithering about trying to fix it.

And at risk of being offensive (because I don’t think everyone should wear their ‘offense’ chip on their shoulder), considering learning more before you undertake some disastrous actions at the shell level. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. On the positive side, this is HOW you learn …

Several issues at the same time: sudo, wayland-related whatever, missing modules ? dunno
