Aspire V5-573

Hi, I am n00b but I really like Arch. I have installed Arch on my new laptop Acer Aspire V5-573. This laptop has an i5-4200U CPU and an intel HD 4400 GPU. I am having some success (It does run!!!!) but still two quite huge problems.

I followed for the installation mostly Beginners' guide at archwiki and also looked this blog.

I installed UEFI, gummiboot, KDE.

The one problem is network manager. It does not work properly. I have tried so far in three places to connect to wifi and In two places (one of these is my home) I am just not able to connect to wifi. Manager does see properly every wifi arround but it refuses to connect. Right now I am using ethernet instead of wifi which only worked after I disabled NetworkManager, enebled and started dhcpcd.service,  and restarted my computer. sad

The funny think Is that in a third place that I tried, wifi just worked and I did connect, but when I returned home (I was hopping problem had magickally cured), unfortunatelly I am experiencing the same problem. I can not connect to wifi.

The second problem is that opengl acceleration does not work. Where is glxinfo in arch? (glxinfo would make that more clear)

steam still gives me the same error. I tried as a test two games. Super Meat Boy does run, but unacceptably bad (unplayable). Race the Sun simply refuses to run. Both of them I think should run on a intel HD 4400. I have not bought the laptop for games of course but still they are a good test to see if everything works fine or not.

Re: Aspire V5-573

a) wifi does work now perfectly, I did nothing, it just now works.

b) I am trying to run steam with "STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam". I did add the missing libraries but now it says it misses a new one: "vgui2_s.so". Here I am stuck. Is there anyone who may give me directions where to find it?

Re: Aspire V5-573

That machine has nVidia Optimus capabilities. Have you looked into Bumblebee? It is in the Wiki.

Re: Aspire V5-573

I forgot to answer. I was sure I had installed the libraries for intel but apparently I was wrong. I followed again the archwiki and I had not installed lib32-intel-dri. Now everything is really good. Race the sun and super meet boy and most games do play really good. FTL surprisingly still has problem but I can live with that.

@mrunion, no this laptop is NOT "V5-573G", it is "V5-573" and has no nVidia graphics but only the intel 4400HD of i5-4200U. I did not bought it for games but still I wanted to test the games.
