Ethernet driver keeps going missing on Arch

Hi

I installed arch with hyprland around 2 weeks ago and its been great. I have my rice all set up with all my apps. However, I turned on my PC yesterday morning and hyprland seemed to have done an update, on reboot there was a big issue with my drivers. It was not even booting at first because it was missing drivers

  • My ethernet (Realtek RTL8125) stopped working after a Hyprland update
  • Troubleshooting found the r8125 driver wasn't loading due to Secure Boot signature issues
  • NIC kept disappearing from PCI bus requiring power cycles to come back

The Ethernet device randomly disappears completely from the PCI bus.

Example when broken:

lspci | grep -i ethernet
# (no output)The Ethernet device randomly disappears completely from the PCI bus.

PCI rescan works:

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescanPCI rescan works:
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan

It tends to happen on reboot or when it goes to sleep and it does not always disappear. Removing the power cable for 20 seconds also fixes the issue. But I want a permanent driver loaded in. I need secure boot as i dual boot windows and secure boot is needed for anticheat. I set up secure boot using sbctl.

Setup:

  • Motherboard: MSI B760 Gaming Plus WiFi
  • NIC: Realtek RTL8125 (2.5GbE)
  • OS: Arch Linux (systemd-boot)
  • Secure Boot: Enabled (using sbctl)
  • Driver: r8125-dkms (signed manually for Secure Boot

Any help is appreciated

OneNote Alternative?

I have switched to Arch Linux(BTW) and I have everything up and running. On Windows, I used OneNote a lot. Many notes I have taken are screenshots that are annotated, with some text that I then add around it. I really like how OneNote, you can just add text basically anywhere on the page.

I need a Linux alternative which is very similar to OneNote if possible. I also want to import the entire notebook I have and would need a good importer. I tried obesdian but it completely messes up the images, I believe mainly because its text first and handles images second. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thoughts on this guitar I purchased?

I just purchased a pre-owned Cordoba C9 from GuitarGuitar for £599. Its rated 4/5 in terms of wear, the guy I spoke to at the company said its the highest rating he has seen on pre-owned guitars as its really difficult for them to be 5/5 without them being brand new. I was choosing between a brand new C7 which was the same price or a brand new c9 which was around £800. I saw this and thought it was a good deal. I am upgrading from a Yamaha C40. Let me know your thoughts if this was a good decision!

PS (It comes with 1 year warranty and it also has a ebony bridge and I thought this guitar had indian rosewood? )
