r/voidlinux

Hi, I just switched to Void Linux a little over two months ago. My main computer is an ASUS TUF A-16 Advantage Edition with an RX 7700S graphics card. Everything is working great, but for some reason, one of the two USB-C ports doesn’t work with external devices. I’ve read a bit about my system on other forums and learned that apparently the port that isn’t working is directly connected to the GPU. It seems to be the port that outputs via DisplayPort (or at least that’s what I understood), but even so, it strikes me as very odd, since the dedicated graphics card works without any issues—it’s even the main output I use on my system, and it’s not in sleep mode or anything. Even so, I tried to force it to activate via GRUB with the following command:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=4 amdgpu.runpm=0"

The system even correctly detects my graphics card and audio output controller, but for some reason the USB driver isn't installed.

❯ lspci | grep 03:00

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 33 [Radeon RX 7600/7600 XT/7600M XT/7600S/7700S / PRO W7600] (rev c1)

03:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 31 HDMI/DP Audio

Does anyone else have a similar problem? I can’t use the supergfxctl utilities because they’re designed strictly to work with systemd, and I can’t find a patched version for runnit (I use seatd as my session manager since I don’t like how elogind drags in systemd’s features and backdoors).

hello everyone i just installed void and niri with it it take me along time to set it up with help of deepseek but if i rebooted my pc i have to use all of these commands all over again
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$(id -u)"

sudo mkdir -p "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR"

sudo chown goku:goku "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR"

sudo chmod 700 "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR"
then dbus-run-session niri --session
to make niri work is there any other way

Hello,

I am having trouble with flatpak apps to open urls. It appears that there is an issue with the xdg desktop portal. I am getting the following in thunderbird:

** (org.mozilla.thunderbird:2): WARNING **: XX:XX:XX.XXX: Could not launch default application for URI: Failed to call OpenURI portal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.OpenURI” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop

I am guessing it might be because of missing systemd. I would like that openURI use the flatpak librewolf.

Cheers. -- zen

hello everyone
i downloaded the void iso and tried with dd and ventoy
every time i pick void and it loads before bash start it give me this error
config failed hub doesn't have any ports (err -19)
what should i do now to fix this

Edit: fixed it by choosing the third option then installing from the internet with the latest version 6.18

Installed AION 2 via Steam, launching with Proton [now testing all proton version].

Game crashes immediately with:

I have just installed void-glibc (not my first install, but first ever time I see this problem), and after swapping out wpa_supplicant for iwd, ipv4 does not work anymore. I don't know, if it worked before, and now I don't seem to be able to enable any networking program except for iwd+dhcpcd. Ipv6 works just fine, but stuff like github or duckduckgo lack any ipv6 support.

Is there something I could try for troubleshooting, is it even worth it trying to fix, or is it better to just reinstall the system? It would be fine, but still annoying, and this is a weird issue that I would be interested in knowing how to troubleshoot.
