This page contains instructions, tips, pointers, and links for installing and configuring Arch Linux on Microsoft Surface Book 2 devices.<br />
<br />
==Compatibility==<br />
<br />
The laptop works surprisingly well with Arch Linux, but requires a kernel with modules and updated drivers, [https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface available on Github] or in an AUR package, {{AUR|linux-surface4}} or via a separately maintained [https://github.com/dmhacker/arch-linux-surface PKGBULD on Github] (whichever you choose, make sure to check that you'll get the latest version of the jakeday kernel {{AUR|linux-surface4}} seems to be a bit behind).<br />
<br />
===What works?===<br />
{{Note|Touchscreen only works in a Window Manager or Desktop Environment that has full support for it. It's recognized as a mouse click otherwise.}} <br />
* Touchscreen <br />
** Requires kernel with modules/drivers in link above.<br />
* Pen Input<br />
** Requires kernel with modules/drivers in link above.<br />
* Removal of keyboard base<br />
** A few seconds slower in Linux than in Windows<br />
** May cause touchscreen to stop working until reboot<br />
** May cause issues with dedicated graphics (if equipped)<br />
* Keyboard function and media keys, including volume and brightness adjustment of the keyboard and screen backlights.<br />
* Wireless Networking<br />
** May need a tweak from [[#WiFi]] if Wireless Networking hardware disconnects during use<br />
* Speakers / Headphones<br />
** Speakers sometimes have a hissing noise that can be fixed, details in [[#Audio]] <br />
* Dedicated Nvidia graphics (If equipped)<br />
* ACPI, Battery stats, power saving, etc.<br />
<br />
===What doesn't work?===<br />
<br />
* Cameras<br />
<br />
===Nvidia===<br />
<br />
The Nvidia 1050 and 1060 cards in the Surface Book 2 Performance Base are recognized by the kernel and supported by `nvidia` and `nvidia-dkms` drivers. Without the kernel ({{AUR|linux-surface4}}), there '''was''' a bug which causes it to be effectively useless because when a load is put on the Nvidia graphics hardware, it immediately and severely throttles down to around 139MHz. The reason, as reported by `nvidia-smi`, is software thermal throttling. The cause is that, apparently, the fan cannot be controlled automatically, nor through `nvidia-smi` or `nvidia-settings`, even when the nvidia xorg `Coolbits` option is set to 8.<br />
<br />
==UEFI Setup and Disabling Secure Boot==<br />
<br />
Disabling Secure Boot is not necessary, but makes things easier.<br />
<br />
Follow [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023531 The manufacturer's directions] for accessing UEFI setup:<br />
<br />
# Shut down your Surface and wait about 10 seconds to be sure it is off.<br />
# Press and hold the volume-up button on your Surface, and, at the same time, press and release the power button.<br />
# When you see the Surface logo, release the volume-up button. The UEFI menu will appear within a few seconds.<br />
<br />
==Booting==<br />
<br />
The information in [[Boot loader]]s applies here. {{Pkg|refind-efi}} and [[Systemd-boot]] work well.<br />
<br />
===Boot from USB===<br />
<br />
Booting from USB is possible by reordering boot devices in the UEFI setup.<br />
<br />
==Graphics Drivers==<br />
<br />
The standard {{Pkg|xf86-video-intel}} driver works with the Surface Book devices.<br />
<br />
For devices equipped with dedicated Nvidia graphics, the {{Pkg|nvidia}} or {{Pkg|nvidia-dkms}} driver supports the dedicated GPU.<br />
<br />
==Audio==<br />
<br />
Surface Book 2 devices exhibit a hissing noise at times. This can be fixed by installing {{pkg|alsa-utils}} and running the following commands:<br />
<br />
amixer -c 0 sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' Disabled<br />
sudo alsactl store<br />
<br />
==WiFi==<br />
<br />
Since September 2018, Surface Book 2 WiFi may power off during use. When this happens, it is not visible in lspci and rebooting is a way to get it back on. However, this behavior can be prevented (temporarily) by installing {{pkg|iw}} and running the following command as root:<br />
<br />
# iw dev wlp1s0 set power_save off<br />
<br />
To permanently fix the issue with NetworkManager, add this to your [[NetworkManager]] config. (Such as /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf)<br />
<br />
[connection]<br />
wifi.powersave = 2<br />
[device]<br />
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=false<br />
<br />
==Console fonts==<br />
<br />
Because of the screen's resolution, the console font is barely readable - refer to [[Linux_console#Fonts fonts]] on how to change them.<br />
<br />
Installing terminus fonts with 32pt looks good on Surface Book 2 on the vconsole.</div>Dotvezzhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Microsoft_Surface_Book_2&diff=561987Microsoft Surface Book 22019-01-06T04:14:46Z<p>Dotvezz: Removing outdated "What doesn't work" entries</p>

<hr />
<div>==Nvidia==<br />
<br />
The paragraph currently says that there '''was''' a bug with nvidia cards that's been cleared up with the latest kernel from jakeday. I left it when I updated it a few days ago since I wasn't sure if we wanted to remove the historical information. But for clarity, we might want to update it to just say "as long as you've got the jakeday kernel, all is good" and avoid confusing users with the whole "it used to be crap though" section that I chose not to delete.<br />
<br />
Anyone have thoughts about whether we should remove the historical section, leave it alone, or just reword the section?</div>Dotvezzhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Microsoft_Surface_Book_2&diff=561967Microsoft Surface Book 22019-01-06T01:31:41Z<p>Dotvezz: Also adding notes to discussion since I want to make sure this paragraph is clear</p>

<br />
===Nvidia===<br />
<br />
The Nvidia 1050 and 1060 cards in the Surface Book 2 Performance Base are recognized by the kernel and supported by `nvidia` and `nvidia-dkms` drivers. However, when a load is put on the Nvidia graphics hardware, it immediately and severely throttles down to around 139MHz. The reason, as reported by `nvidia-smi`, is software thermal throttling. The cause is that, apparently, the fan cannot be controlled automatically, nor through `nvidia-smi` or `nvidia-settings`, even when the nvidia xorg `Coolbits` option is set to 8.<br />
<br />
==UEFI Setup and Secure Boot==<br />
<br />
Follow [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023531 The manufacturer's directions] for accessing UEFI setup:<br />
<br />
# Shut down your Surface and wait about 10 seconds to be sure it is off.<br />
# Press and hold the volume-up button on your Surface, and, at the same time, press and release the power button.<br />
# When you see the Surface logo, release the volume-up button. The UEFI menu will appear within a few seconds.<br />
<br />
Disabling Secure Boot is not necessary, but makes things easier.<br />
<br />
==Booting==<br />
<br />
The information in [[Boot loader]]s applies here. {{Pkg|refind-efi}} works well.<br />
<br />
===Boot from USB===<br />
<br />
Booting from USB is possible by reordering boot devices in the UEFI setup.<br />
<br />
==Graphics Drivers==<br />
<br />
The standard {{Pkg|xf86-video-intel}} driver works with the Surface Book devices.<br />
<br />
For devices equipped with dedicated Nvidia graphics, the {{Pkg|nvidia}} driver supports the dedicated GPU.<br />
<br />
==Audio==<br />
<br />
Surface Book 2 devices exhibit a hissing noise at times. This can be fixed by installing {{pkg|alsa-utils}} and running the following commands:<br />
<br />
amixer -c 0 sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' Disabled<br />
sudo alsactl store<br />
<br />
==WiFi==<br />
<br />
Since September 2018, Surface Book 2 WiFi may power off during use. When this happens, it is not visible in lspci and rebooting is a way to get it back on. However, this behavior can be prevented (temporarily) by installing {{pkg|iw}} and running the following command as root:<br />
<br />
# iw dev wlp1s0 set power_save off<br />
<br />
To permanently fix the issue with NetworkManager, add this to your [[NetworkManager]] config. (Such as /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf)<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Acer]]<br />
This page contains instructions, tips, pointers, and links for installing and configuring Arch Linux on the Acer Aspire S7-392 Laptop. <br />
<br />
This page only applies to the 392 model (4th Gen Intel CPU), and may not be entirely correct for the 391 or 191 models (3rd Gen Intel CPU).<br />
<br />
==Compatibility==<br />
<br />
The laptop works surprisingly well with Arch Linux, requiring minimal or no configuration hacking, depending on your desired setup.<br />
<br />
===What works?===<br />
{{Note|Touchscreen only works in a Window Manager or Desktop Environment that has full support for it. It's recognized as a mouse click otherwise.}} <br />
* Touchscreen<br />
* Screen Brightness Adjustment<br />
** Requres a window manager or desktop environment with the functionality, such as [[Xfce]], [[GNOME]], or [[MATE]].<br />
** Alternatively, a hotkey daemon such as [[acpid]] may provide hotkey functionality (Not tested).<br />
* Keyboard Backlight (And adjustment)<br />
* Most Keyboard Hotkeys<br />
** Wireless Toggle may not work. [[acpid]] may work with it (Not tested)<br />
* Wireless Networking<br />
<br />
===What doesn't work, or is weird?===<br />
<br />
* Touchpad Multitouch Gestures<br />
* Touchscreen stops working after waking up from suspend<br />
<br />
==BIOS Setup==<br />
<br />
The BIOS Setup utility is accessed by pressing Fn+2 at the Acer Logo screen during startup.<br />
<br />
===Disable Secure Boot===<br />
<br />
In order to install Arch on the S7 you need to disable Secure Boot from the BIOS Setup. You need to do {{ic|Security > Set Supervisor Password}} to set a supervisor password. Without it the option to disable Secure boot will be grayed out. Then go to {{ic|Boot > Secure Boot}} and set it to {{ic|Disabled}} and remove the supervisor password (by setting an empty one).<br />
<br />
==Booting==<br />
<br />
The information in [[Boot loaders]] applies here. GRUB is confirmed to work.<br />
<br />
===Change Boot from UEFI to BIOS===<br />
<br />
If desired, you can optionally select whether to use BIOS or UEFI when booting. This is an option in the BIOS Setup utility.<br />
<br />
===Boot from USB===<br />
<br />
Booting from USB is possible by reordering boot devices in the BIOS setup, or by accessing the Boot Menu by pressing the "Fn" key and "=" key simultaneously (Translates to F12).<br />
<br />
{{Note|The boot menu might be disabled - set {{ic|Main > F12 Boot Menu}} to {{ic|Enabled}} in BIOS Setup}}<br />
<br />
===UEFI Boot Arch===<br />
<br />
One some dual-SSD machines the disk that BIOS boots from by default is identified as {{ic|/dev/sdb}} rather than {{ic|/dev/sda}}. If you're running a RAID it's recommended to leave a GPT partition on both disks. If you get an error after booting that BIOS cannot find a bootable media, but drops you in the boot menu where you can select HDD and it boots from there - you've installed grub on the wrong disk.<br />
<br />
==Graphics Drivers==<br />
<br />
{{Note|With the default setup, there will be graphics tearing on the S7-392. You can check the "Tear-free video" section of the [[Intel graphics]] page for information on fixing tearing}}<br />
<br />
The standard {{Pkg|xf86-video-intel}} driver works with the laptop. For 32-bit games or other cases where necessary, you'll want to install {{Pkg|lib32-mesa}} in addition to the xf86 driver.<br />
<br />
==Multitouch Gestures==<br />
<br />
{{Note|Multitouch in Touchegg has broken since writing this. It doesn't work now}}<br />
<br />
The touchpad works well with {{Pkg|xf86-input-synaptics}}, and with {{AUR|touchegg}} for advanced multitouch gestures.<br />
<br />
{{Note|Contrary to what most of the internet says, you don't seem to need {{Pkg|xf86-input-evdev}} to make Touchegg work.}}<br />
<br />
==Console fonts==<br />
Since some of these come with HiDPI displays the default console font is barely readable - refer to [[Linux_console#Fonts]] on how to change them.<br />
<br />
==Wifi instability==<br />
<br />
This laptop uses Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 WiFi chipset. With the current firmware it might have issues connecting when signal is suboptimal. Disabling power save mode on the chip improves the connection times and connection speed. See [[Wireless network configuration#Power saving]] on how to disable it and make it permanent.</div>Dotvezzhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Microsoft_Surface_Book_2&diff=521079Microsoft Surface Book 22018-05-13T15:33:32Z<p>Dotvezz: Wording</p>

This page contains instructions, tips, pointers, and links for installing and configuring Arch Linux on Microsoft Surface Book 2 devices.<br />
<br />
==Compatibility==<br />
<br />
The laptop works surprisingly well with Arch Linux, but requires a customized kernel with updated drivers and modules, [https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface available on Github] or in an AUR package, {{AUR|linux-surface4}}.<br />
<br />
===What works?===<br />
{{Note|Touchscreen only works in a Window Manager or Desktop Environment that has full support for it. It's recognized as a mouse click otherwise.}} <br />
* Touchscreen <br />
** Requires customized kernel.<br />
* Pen Input<br />
** Requires customized kernel.<br />
* Removal of keyboard base<br />
** A few seconds slower in Linux than in Windows<br />
** May cause touchscreen to stop working until reboot<br />
** May cause issues with dedicated graphics (if equipped)<br />
* Keyboard function and media keys, including volume and brightness adjustment of the keyboard and screen backlights.<br />
* Wireless Networking<br />
* Dedicated Nvidia graphics (If equipped)<br />
<br />
===What doesn't work?===<br />
<br />
* Cameras<br />
* Battery Stats<br />
* Nvidia card is thermally throttled and the fan speed defaults to read-only zero keeping the throttle extremely low.<br />
<br />
===Nvidia===<br />
<br />
The Nvidia 1050 and 1060 cards in the Surface Book 2 Performance Base are recognized by the kernel and supported by `nvidia` and `nvidia-dkms` drivers. However, when a load is put on the Nvidia graphics hardware, it immediately and severely throttles down to around 139MHz. The reason, as reported by `nvidia-smi`, is software thermal throttling. The cause is that, apparently, the fan cannot be controlled automatically, nor through `nvidia-smi` or `nvidia-settings`, even when the nvidia xorg `Coolbits` option is set to 8.<br />
<br />
==UEFI Setup and Secure Boot==<br />
<br />
Follow [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023531 The manufacturer's directions] for accessing UEFI setup:<br />
<br />
# Shut down your Surface and wait about 10 seconds to be sure it is off.<br />
# Press and hold the volume-up button on your Surface, and, at the same time, press and release the power button.<br />
# When you see the Surface logo, release the volume-up button. The UEFI menu will appear within a few seconds.<br />
<br />
Disabling Secure Boot is not necessary, but makes things easier.<br />
<br />
==Booting==<br />
<br />
The information in [[Boot loaders]] applies here. {{Pkg|refind-efi}} works well.<br />
<br />
===Boot from USB===<br />
<br />
Booting from USB is possible by reordering boot devices in the UEFI setup.<br />
<br />
==Graphics Drivers==<br />
<br />
The standard {{Pkg|xf86-video-intel}} driver works with the Surface Book devices.<br />
<br />
For devices equipped with dedicated Nvidia graphics, the {{Pkg|nvidia}} driver supports the dedicated GPU.<br />
<br />
==Console fonts==<br />
<br />
Because of the screen's resolution, the console font is barely readable - refer to [[Fonts#Console fonts]] on how to change them.</div>Dotvezzhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Microsoft_Surface_Book_2&diff=503015Microsoft Surface Book 22017-12-17T20:36:22Z<p>Dotvezz: Fixing pkg link</p>

<div>[[Category:Acer]]<br />
This page contains instructions, tips, pointers, and links for installing and configuring Arch Linux on the Acer Aspire S7-392 Laptop. <br />
<br />
This page only applies to the 392 model (4th Gen Intel CPU), and may not be entirely correct for the 391 or 191 models (3rd Gen Intel CPU).<br />
<br />
==Compatibility==<br />
<br />
The laptop works surprisingly well with Arch Linux, requiring minimal or no configuration hacking, depending on your desired setup.<br />
<br />
===What works?===<br />
{{Note|Touchscreen only works in a Window Manager or Desktop Environment that has full support for it. It's recognized as a mouse click otherwise.}} <br />
* Touchscreen<br />
* Screen Brightness Adjustment<br />
** Requres a window manager or desktop environment with the functionality, such as [[Xfce]], [[GNOME]], or [[MATE]].<br />
** Alternatively, a hotkey daemon such as [[acpid]] may provide hotkey functionality (Not tested).<br />
* Keyboard Backlight (And adjustment)<br />
* Most Keyboard Hotkeys<br />
** Wireless Toggle may not work. [[acpid]] may work with it (Not tested)<br />
* Wireless Networking<br />
<br />
===What doesn't work, or is weird?===<br />
<br />
* Touchpad Multitouch Gestures<br />
<br />
==BIOS Setup==<br />
<br />
The BIOS Setup utility is accessed by pressing Fn+2 at the Acer Logo screen during startup.<br />
<br />
==Booting==<br />
<br />
The information in [[Boot loaders]] applies here. GRUB is confirmed to work.<br />
<br />
===Change Boot from UEFI to BIOS===<br />
<br />
If desired, you can optionally select whether to use BIOS or UEFI when booting. This is an option in the BIOS Setup utility.<br />
<br />
===Boot from USB===<br />
<br />
Booting from USB is possible by reordering boot devices in the BIOS setup, or by accessing the Boot Menu by pressing the "Fn" key and "=" key simultaneously (Translates to F12).<br />
<br />
==Graphics Drivers==<br />
<br />
{{Note|With the default setup, there will be graphics tearing on the S7-392. You can check the "Tear-free video" section of the [[Intel graphics]] page for information on fixing tearing}}<br />
<br />
The standard {{Pkg|xf86-video-intel}} driver works with the laptop. For 32-bit games or other cases where necessary, you'll want to install {{Pkg|lib32-intel-dri}} in addition to the xf86 driver.<br />
<br />
==Multitouch Gestures==<br />
<br />
{{Note|Multitouch in Touchegg has broken since writing this. It doesn't work now}}<br />
<br />
The touchpad works well with {{Pkg|xf86-input-synaptics}}, and with {{AUR|touchegg}} for advanced multitouch gestures.<br />
<br />
{{Note|Contrary to what most of the internet says, you don't seem to need {{Pkg|xf86-input-evdev}} to make Touchegg work.}}</div>Dotvezzhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Acer_Aspire_S7-392&diff=333288Acer Aspire S7-3922014-08-31T13:33:44Z<p>Dotvezz: </p>

<br />
The BIOS Setup utility is accessed by pressing Fn+2 at the Acer Logo screen during startup.<br />
<br />
==Booting==<br />
<br />
The information in [[Boot loaders]] applies here. GRUB is confirmed to work.<br />
<br />
===Change Boot from UEFI to BIOS===<br />
<br />
If desired, you can optionally select whether to use BIOS or UEFI when booting. This is an option in the BIOS Setup utility.<br />
<br />
===Boot from USB===<br />
<br />
Booting from USB is possible by reordering boot devices in the BIOS setup, or by accessing the Boot Menu by pressing the "Fn" key and "=" key simultaneously (Translates to F12).<br />
<br />
==Graphics Drivers==<br />
<br />
{{Note|With the default setup, there will be graphics tearing on the S7-392. You can check the "Tear-free video" section of the [[Intel Graphics]] page for information on fixing tearing}}<br />
<br />
The standard {{Pkg|xf86-video-intel}} driver works with the laptop. For 32-bit games or other cases where necessary, you'll want to install {{Pkg|lib32-intel-dri}} in addition to the xf86 driver.<br />
<br />
==Multitouch Gestures==<br />
<br />
The touchpad works well with {{Pkg|xf86-input-synaptics}}, and with {{aur|touchegg}} for advanced multitouch gestures.<br />
<br />
{{Note|Contrary to what most of the internet says, you don't need to use {{Pkg|xf86-input-evdev}} to make Touchegg work.}}</div>Dotvezzhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Acer_Aspire_S7-392&diff=303375Acer Aspire S7-3922014-03-06T16:21:50Z<p>Dotvezz: /* What works? */</p>

This page contains instructions, tips, pointers, and links for installing and configuring Arch Linux on the Acer Aspire S7-392 Laptop. <br />
<br />
This page only applies to the 392 model (4th Gen Intel CPU), and may not be entirely correct for the 391 or 191 models (3rd Gen Intel CPU).<br />
<br />
==Compatibility==<br />
<br />
The laptop works surprisingly well with Arch Linux, requiring minimal or no configuration hacking, depending on your desired setup.<br />
<br />
===What works?===<br />
<br />
* Touchscreen<br />
* Touchpad Multitouch Gestures<br />
* Screen Brightness Adjustment<br />
** Requres a window manager or desktop environment with the functionality, such as [[XFCE]], [[Gnome]], or [[Mate]].<br />
** Alternatively, a hotkey daemon such as {{Pkg|acpid}} may provide hotkey functionality (Not tested).<br />
* Keyboard Backlight (And adjustment)<br />
* Most Keyboard Hotkeys<br />
** Wireless Toggle may not work.<br />
* Wireless Networking<br />
<br />
===What doesn't work, or is weird?===<br />
<br />
* Nothing as far as I can tell<br />

[https://launchpad.net/awn Avant Window Navigator] (AWN) is a lightweight dock written in C. It has support for launchers, task lists and third party applets.<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
*'''Avant Window Navigator''' can be installed with the package {{aur|avant-window-navigator}}, available in the [[Arch User Repository|Arch User Repository]].<br />
*To get additional applets to use with AWN you will need to install {{aur|awn-extras-applets}}.<br />
<br />
===Additional dependencies===<br />
The most of the applets require some additional packages, which are listed in optdepends. Make sure that you installed them before enable an applet: <br />

===Compositing===<br />
To fully utilize AWN and it's themes, you will need a composite manager like [[Compiz]], [[Xcompmgr]] or [[Cairo Compmgr]] installed and configured correctly. If you are running AWN in a desktop environment like [[GNOME]], [[Xfce]] or [[KDE]], simply enable the composite manager or the desktop effects in the system settings. The [[Composite|composite]] option in X is enabled by default. <br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
Run Awn in the background:<br />
{{bc|$ avant-window-navigator &}}<br />
<br />
To launch AWN at startup, check '''Start Awn automatically''' option in Dock Preferences dialog (see below), or add the following command to the [[Autostarting#Graphical|autostart]] file: {{ic|avant-window-navigator --startup &}}<br />
<br />
==Configuration==<br />
To configure AWN applets, themes and general settings, run:<br />
{{bc|$ awn-settings}}<br />
or right-click the dock and go to '''Dock Preferences'''.<br />
<br />
==Tips and tricks==<br />
===External applets===<br />
====DockbarX====<br />
