oh sudo apt update
#Kubuntu Spring Null error with antialiasing on a 1060
cunning wave
Ok
rich bone
sudo apt update fetches a package list from the sources file
to use as named installs on apt
so we're hoping that jammy source has the kubuntu-desktop package
cunning wave
I thought so, it uses the sources, hits the repos theyre connected to
rich bone
yes
cunning wave
Upgrade is clean, none needed
rich bone
alright try
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
cunning wave
4 zeros
rich bone
should find it?
cunning wave
rich bone
this looks promising!
This is what happened to us
apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
apt-get install kubuntu-workspace
apt-get install kubuntu-workspace-bin
apt-get install plasma-desktop
apt-get install plasma-dataengines-workspace
apt-get install kdepim-runtime
apt-get install akonadi-server
apt-get install akonadi-backend-mysql
maybe try:
sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop --fix-missing
cunning wave
None worked
Same errors about broke n packages
And it couldn't even find desktop on its own
No oackage
rich bone
I wonder if we can run the upgrade again?
cunning wave
Cmd?
rich bone
finding
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade
sudo reboot
don't use the d this time
because we're going to try to use LTS
it finds
cunning wave
Oh I need that do release command to force it remember?
rich bone
when we forced it with -d we were forcing it to the latest version not necessarily LTS version
cunning wave
Without it... It says theres nothing newer
rich bone
oh I see
alright sudo do-release-upgrade -d
odd it's like it still thinks it's on 22.04
cunning wave
How do I find the version?
rich bone
lsb_release -a
rich bone
that's honestly ok hmmm
cunning wave
Soooo weird
rich bone
That mid upgrade crash was really bad
cunning wave
Maybe were trying it wrong and need to be pushing things towards noble packages
cunning wave
Ok
rich bone
I would change it back to noble
cunning wave
Ok
rich bone
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-mark showhold
cunning wave
Ok here goes back to noble again lol
rich bone
yep!
cunning wave
I'm on update
rich bone
I mean that was the goal in the first place
cunning wave
Nmcli I'm liking though
rich bone
Yea this one is getting up there with the most intense linux troubleshooting session
But I like it
cunning wave
We've been at this for how long now?
rich bone
It sucks you're running a system that you spent a lot of time configuring
idek xD
This is actually par for the course. Can't tell you how many hours I've spent in shell doing random shit like this
this one is up there with the longest "single" issue though
cunning wave
Can you search for when someone replied inhere first? Phone doesnt like doing that
rich bone
hmmm I'm not sure how to do that?
cunning wave
Ok, upgrade seemed to take this time!
cunning wave
hmmm I'm not sure how to do that?
Are you on pc?
rich bone
yea
cunning wave
sudo apt-mark showhold
rich bone
any held?
cunning wave
None
rich bone
ok good
do not do this command
but it is insane
sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | awk '{print $1}')
I just found it
it re-installs every single package on your system xD
rich bone
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
cunning wave
Whew, not doing that other command lol
Ohhhhhh the update is connecting and doing something new!
rich bone
o hshit
cunning wave
Yesssssss
rich bone
wat da fak
xD
I can't believe we gave it CPR from the internet literally not working
wth
cunning wave
Ok, even ran an auto remove cleanuo
rich bone
interesting
cunning wave
It appears to be just. .
Fucking working
cunning wave
No still cli
cunning wave
Ya
cunning wave
Sigh....
rich bone
then we try the install kubuntu-desktop command again
cunning wave
Funny unrelated my reset button is wired to the hard mobo reset switch... Lol
I have to do that, then power on... That somehow boots this thing
rich bone
oh well I always do hard shutdowns
rich bone
wait wat
cunning wave
Idk wtf is with it
cunning wave
No, but its been working for yearrrs
rich bone
I mean if it works
cunning wave
Nogui, ok
rich bone
do an aptitude
sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
and we go super slow
through steps
rich bone
do no
cunning wave
No do?
rich bone
run it with aptitude though
rich bone
oh damn aptitude is legit
yes
those might be all of the packages that failed to install during the upgrade
that's so cool
cunning wave
Or it might be dependencies to resolve the issue...
rich bone
damn I need to start using aptitude more
rich bone
You run into these package dependency shit all the time
apparently it's just a package that helps you automatically resolve those issues
must be open source
just something I found online
cunning wave
DAMN it did libwireplumber on its fucking own
rich bone
:O
cunning wave
Breathing life into this lol
rich bone
pretty crazy we're repairing this
rich bone
I saw online this guy say if it crashed mid upgrade you re-install
but I'm not willing to accept that solution
cunning wave
I mean you could...
rich bone
because we're more badass than that
cunning wave
You are
rich bone
idk
cunning wave
I'd have done that
rich bone
I have a lot to learn. I learned a lot tonight
cunning wave
Worked!!!
rich bone
GUI is back??
cunning wave
Aptget upgrade?
cunning wave
Done
cunning wave
Whuuuut
cunning wave
And reset my whole ass mobo
cunning wave
Powering on
rich bone
if it doesn't work immediately may have to do these as well:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall plasma-desktop
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kde-plasma-desktop
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg
cunning wave
Its been having the loading screens, so maybe gui
rich bone
oh!
rich bone
fo real?
cunning wave
GUIIIIIIIII
cunning wave
WOOOOOO
cunning wave
WOWWWW
rich bone
wth man
cunning wave
FUCKING WILD
rich bone
alright so before we fuck it up again to get the nvidia drivers working
you are now presumably using wayland on 24.04
which is good
but I say we do that tomorrow
eh?
and then we can play BAR together xD
rich bone
xD
cunning wave
not phone lol
rich bone
that's legit
cunning wave
steam still looks very funky
rich bone
yea idk what else we'll have to do with the environment
I'm not sure what else might have failed to install during the upgrade
BUT
we have a bootable environment and we know we can pull from the repo ok for 24.04 which is good
cunning wave
hmmm... firefox lost an icon on the start menu area
but steam i think is just gone...
fucking weird
rich bone
and "technically" we're on 24.04
yea you may have to re-install apps or the file system might not know where to find them
if it's all the same to you I would just re snap store any apps that seems weird
that will probably fix them
if not we can CLI re-install them
its 2:30 here though and I gtg to bed
cunning wave
almost the same here... now i need to find the hours it took JUST to get back into gui
rich bone
linux is fun :)
cunning wave
8 hrs since the message in here
rich bone
xD
cunning wave
ive been troubleshooting this a full workday
cunning wave
and... all i have to show for it now is... a non lts version thats more upgraded, with... some things missing XD
what do you do for work, i got to know
rich bone
I don't even know anymore
I make machines send data to cloud for manufacturers around the country
I make machines talk to each other :)
Basically whatever
IIoT they call it
idk though I've had like 10 different jobs doing different tech shit for the last 10 years
cunning wave
but we're accidentally jacks of all trades
rich bone
trueee
cunning wave
you know what was REALLY wild... about this whole thing
rich bone
hmm?
cunning wave
that we were able to communicate and execute this infromation so seamlessly between us
rich bone
Well it's obvious you're a tech nerd
cunning wave
two techies on both sides of this fixed this WHOLE fucking thing...
cunning wave
exactly
rich bone
It's always nice working on something with a fellow nerd
cunning wave
that this info between an expert and a savvy... made this whole thing come back to life
rich bone
We are the computer whisperers
cunning wave
im def an it expert, im just not linux savvy yet.
rich bone
pss pss
cunning wave
here pss psspss
rich bone
You just gotta force yourself to stay on linux platform
then it just feels 100% better than windows
cunning wave
not really much of a forcing rn
rich bone
Yea it's inevitable for you at this point
cunning wave
its getting there... its starting to feel pretty damned home
well... except for my 4070 and games
windows still man
windows
rich bone
I like it because it's open source and you own it and it's your own shit
cunning wave
sigh
rich bone
and you respec the compuber
rich bone
xD
rich bone
lol
cunning wave
alright i can't keep you up more
cunning wave
get some rest and we'll get this thing trying to run bar later
rich bone
:D
rich bone
have fun!
cunning wave
bluetooth is still functioning correctly 🙂
fun.. suuuuuure
maybe ill just sleep too
cunning wave
soooooo wild shit... the upgrade went to an xorg noveau driver... and it works, but it doesn't playback video very well in browser (im not entirely sure its using that gpu very well)
thought id try it, only problem is it opened a VERY tiny window.... so i went into the spring.cfg and changed fullscreen to 1 and it opened right up
still interested in trying the nvidia driver
cunning wave
unable to locate package... looks like i have to add in the repositories/sources for nvidia or wherever they put these
cunning wave
then
glxinfo
didn't install yet, but man, glxinfo is too big for me to scroll up that far and see anything
proud lantern
soooooo wild shit... the upgrade went to an xorg noveau driver... and it works, ...
assuming you're on wayland now that's fairly normal depending on browser and such, it's probably using xwayland instead of running it natively in wayland (compatibility layer that makes program think its still running in x11, has issues with some programs)
i can help with that if that's the issue
flickering?
cunning wave
ok i went into software and upgrades (had to reinstall)....
added the package
xorg is just in the repos, and so are the nvidia drivers
updated to 550 in there
annnd.. time to test it
cunning wave
assuming you're on wayland now that's fairly normal depending on browser and suc...
i have noooo idea which or how to find it out
however... it was just jittery, like low framerate. not a monitor flicker
ok here's the TRUE test
Warning: [GR::CreateSDLWindow] error "Couldn't find matching GLX visual" using 4x anti-aliasing and 24-bit depth-buffer for main window
fuckng nvidia drivers
proud lantern
i have noooo idea which or how to find it out
Are you on plasma 6.0 after updating?
cunning wave
idk
proud lantern
Nooooo
cunning wave
yeah... i got into it on noveau, but it can't play fucking video... UGH
proud lantern
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
proud lantern
yeah... i got into it on noveau, but it can't play fucking video... UGH
yeahh noveau has issues i think
cunning wave
x11
proud lantern
hmmmm did you purge noveau?
proud lantern
but it couldn't play plex movies in the browser very well at all
after doing 550 did video work fine?
proud lantern
any idea if it updated mesa, vulkan or anything like that when you installed the otheer driver?
also go 555 not 550 probably
cunning wave
no... video is still jittery shit
proud lantern
damn
proud lantern
IIoT they call it
oh shit my last job i was programming a scada for a iiot company
cunning wave
ok
the additional drivers, only shows nvidia.. and noveau
there's no mesa in it anywhere
proud lantern
echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY
cunning wave
nothing
proud lantern
echo $DISPLAY
cunning wave
:0
proud lantern
yeah definitely x11
cunning wave
weird... i think it should be the samsung
proud lantern
hmmmmm
proud lantern
weird... i think it should be the samsung
?
cunning wave
my display device
proud lantern
let's purge noveau and 550 and install 555 then upgrade
cunning wave
ok
proud lantern
my display device
don't worry :0 is fine, it should point to the right place
cunning wave
i think its just the "first device" :0
idk why its not saying samsung though... >.>
proud lantern
because that stands in for something else
/dev/dri/card0 probably
i think display is the gpu not the monitor though i could be wrong
cunning wave
proud lantern
apt-cache search noveau
cunning wave
nope
cunning wave
yeah i went to 550... i guess it cleaned up after itself
software & updates .. pretty useful
i saw the 555.. but was scared XD
cunning wave
its been stuck at the end of the progress bar for a bit so just waiting to run cmd
just a sliver left too lol
Sigh, now I can't switch windows and its sort of frozen
Taskbar doesnt work eother
Idk how to leave this without breaking stuff
cunning wave
ok.. its working again
whew... i just.. had to wait it out but i was worried
its still not believing it is finished though... same sliver
idk how to check if its done or not
proud lantern
strange
just wait might be stuck on a particularly large file or something
compiling maybe?
shouldn't need to tho...
cunning wave
yeah... its still stuck
cunning wave
it can't go any farther without finishing
and no... its just a gui window...
there's a cancel button
this has teh same plex playback issue... its in firefox... so im thinking it might be a hardware acceleration problem in firefox
or maybe firefox isn't on noble? or something
proud lantern
firefox does have rendering issues sometimes
but afaik it's mostly a wayland thing...
which is part of why i assumed you were on wayland now
rich bone
oh shit my last job i was programming a scada for a iiot company
Dude! I program SCADA and MES now? I'm with a systems integrator
Did you guys figure it out?
cunning wave
Did you guys figure it out?
noveau seemed to be able to do it
but im trying a nvidia driver anyways, except,, its stuck on trying to go from 550 to 555? or whatever im on rn
yeah, 555
playing through vlc... worksbetter
still can run into some jitters
but smoother
plex/firefox has some trouble though
proud lantern
Did you guys figure it out?
kinda... very smol company they hired me as a contract worker only one working on it
then they went out of business i think?
they moved locations then ghosted me
maybe that says something about my programming ability
was a super basic SCADA interface i did from scratch 😅
honestly did not know what i was getting into
proud lantern
there's a cancel button
did you ever cancel?
if it's still stuck do that
if there's a button it should be safe
cunning wave
I went to go get food, its probably still stuck. I'll find out when I go back upstairs
rich bone
was a super basic SCADA interface i did from scratch 😅
honestly did not know w...
What software did you use?
rich bone
let's purge noveau and 550 and install 555 then upgrade
yeye
proud lantern
What software did you use?
literally from scratch in python using pymodbus and tkinter
proud lantern
it was not good 😂
i don't think they really knew what they needed and i didn't understand what i was getting into at the beginning
rich bone
fuk modbus
proud lantern
amen
rich bone
what do you do now?
proud lantern
nothing programming
rich bone
:O
proud lantern
currently teaching after school robotics classes and going to start school again next semester
rich bone
among many other things :)
proud lantern
could i show you the program sometime to get your opinion?
rich bone
ofc!
proud lantern
technically my contract doesn't allow me to share the code or anything but they never payed me for the last couple reqs so....
rich bone
LOL
proud lantern
i wanna see if it's worth making public and putting on my resume/website or something
rich bone
naw I would pretty much always put stuff on github resume etc
rich bone
nobody is going to really look at it anyways
proud lantern
having a demo would be good though i don't have any mock modbus setup to showcase it locally
rich bone
Do you want to do IoT for a career?
proud lantern
no
rich bone
what do ya want to do?
proud lantern
but it's the only showcaseable project i have i think
proud lantern
what do ya want to do?
good question
probably robotics
i'm not 100% sure if i'm doing cs or mech engineering tbh
rich bone
Oh nice robotics is almost always multi-axis robotics like fanuc ABC ect if you go that route
maybe some end of arm tooling
I did mech engi and electrical engineering
:)
rich bone
If you like physics and physical robotics etc
proud lantern
ROS if you're familiar
proud lantern
yes
rich bone
you could do mechatronics engineering
if your school offers that
that track goes anywhere you want
proud lantern
yeah that's kinda what i wanted but never been at a school that offers it
rich bone
damn that sucks
hmmm do you really like the physics side of things or the coding side of things?
proud lantern
yeah but ME w/ CS minor gets you about the same
rich bone
That's what I did
proud lantern
hmmm do you really like the physics side of things or the coding side of things?
i can't decide lol 😅
rich bone
I did mechengi with electrical engineering minor controls / mechatronics spec
proud lantern
i do like embedded programming
proud lantern
I did mechengi with electrical engineering minor controls / mechatronics spec
oh that's sick
rich bone
So long as you continue coding your own time and up your resume / github with projects you don't really need a cs degree
proud lantern
microcontrollers have been a hobby of mine for a while
proud lantern
So long as you continue coding your own time and up your resume / github with pr...
good to know
yessssss
rich bone
What platform you run?
proud lantern
yesssss
rich bone
I am trying to start an open source youtube channel / website / company
proud lantern
teensy is too, literally just a dude decided to design and start making it
rich bone
it's called Open Source IoT
proud lantern
I am trying to start an open source youtube channel / website / company
hell yeah
rich bone
What do you do with teensy?
proud lantern
mmm haven't touched it in a while
rich bone
does your school have a robotics degree?
proud lantern
spent a little while trying to turn it into a flight controller
rich bone
that has higher salaries associated with it for whatever reason
oh shit like for quad copters?
proud lantern
does your school have a robotics degree?
i don't think so, i'm transferring so idk off the top of my head 😅
proud lantern
oh shit like for quad copters?
eventually that was the plan, yeah
rich bone
if you like the physical realm I would go mech engi
and do cs minor if you can
do controls / mechatronics / automation electives though
in mech engi
you don't want to be a CAD engineer
proud lantern
i wanted to make a quadcopter with pivoting props so it could like rotate in place, if that makes sense?
rich bone
wo that's insane
proud lantern
didn't get very far tbh
rich bone
do you have a 3d printer?
rich bone
you could 3d print a quadcopter with the teensy board
proud lantern
so that was the plan to use at first
proud lantern
i'm an adhd gifted kid syndrome mess
rich bone
I am a smart home nerd and a half
My senior design project was an automation watering plant growing system
still using it to this day :)
proud lantern
damnnnnn
rich bone
tons of power monitoring cctv controls in home
proud lantern
that's awesome
proud lantern
house plants, herbs, or what?
proud lantern
same one that had the 3d printer actually lol
rich bone
he sounds cool
proud lantern
lol yeah you'd probably get along
this is when i was up at school and he'd steal clippings from campus all the time to propagate lol
proud lantern
had a collection of carnivorous plants too
proud lantern
yeah ig we got enough fruit flies it wasn't a huge deal? he did spend time on them though
rich bone
yea that's the awesome part about pitcher plants is that it's an organic way to deal with plant insects
:)
proud lantern
i wouldn't have thought Utah of all places would be a good environment for them but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
rich bone
Are you excited to go back to school?
proud lantern
uhhhh
rich bone
I live in Rado :)
proud lantern
good question
oh niceee
i'm from texas actually and i'm back here now but was at school in utah
proud lantern
yeah i'm excited because i do like school but i'm not good at balancing a workload and i'd burn out a lot
hopefully no utah winter will help tho xD
proud lantern
tru
rich bone
but it was rough xD
proud lantern
yeah
although
given the chance i'd love to do grad school
i really like research
proud lantern
but i'm also not good at school
proud lantern
ayyyyyy
rich bone
If you push really hard to be in R&D most companies have a division for it
I had R&D Engineer as my title a couple times
just pushing to be in the department
etc
proud lantern
oh nice
rich bone
I'm pretty sure even if you're mediocre at school you can still go get phd
I might have taken loan to go if I had done it again
proud lantern
I'm pretty sure even if you're mediocre at school you can still go get phd
yeah just getting into a good graduate program can be hard i think
rich bone
hmmmm
proud lantern
depends on a lot, you can definitely do it without an amazing gpa
just have to like make connections
rich bone
yea
I think it's like anything else where you get the masters / phd probably matters less
unless you want to do ivy league
but yea that's insane
proud lantern
well where matters less, who is what matters
rich bone
mmmm
proud lantern
you kinda shop for a professor that does research in an area you want to get into
rich bone
That's true
rich bone
Yea if you want to get a good project that's 100% true
proud lantern
i worked with grad students at my job at school it was super cool
proud lantern
but also hell 🤣
proud lantern
lmaooooo
rich bone
I think schools just have so much less money than industry
rich bone
Some research projects are insane
but some industry projects are next level
just depends I think
proud lantern
also if you go all the way down the academia route, you end up working basically 3 jobs in one as a professor
rich bone
Being a professor would be amazing tbh
proud lantern
yeah
rich bone
I don't think I had what it takes academically
rich bone
but yea that would be a dream job
proud lantern
same and same
rich bone
I am just hoping I make a name in industry and can became an adjunct professor
that's my way in now
proud lantern
elementary and middle
it's like lego type stuff
and some basic programming for some of the older kids, but i probably won't teach that this semester
proud lantern
yeah
rich bone
true true
proud lantern
during the school year the groups are smaller but over the summer i had a class of like 40 6 and 7 year olds
longest hour of my life
just me and one other person and this was like my 3rd day working, first with kids that young
rich bone
did you get them to do what you wanted them to do?
proud lantern
so like they're hyped up like crazy too
proud lantern
did you get them to do what you wanted them to do?
not really tbh 😂
we tried to split them in half and do two different things and swap so there would be enough stuff to go around but it didn't really work, we never really swapped
we didn't know there would be a group that big
okay i gtg but good talking to you :)
sorry for reappropriating your thread Zerc 😅
cunning wave
did you ever cancel?
i did... and hilarious thing... the software and updates thing... now things its on the noveau driver.
also holy hell batman what did you guys do in here XD
cunning wave
probably robotics
have you heard of roboforming?
so now that it thinks its on noveau... ima try bar again, and maybe just leave it
hopefully i can fix firefox somehow
man the framerate on it is just... GARBAGE
ugh
huh... bar on noveau isn't working now... something is cluttered up
fack
i think we might need a dev in here... just for a proper procedure to wipe all the old driver, install new, reboot process
something is getting mucked up in my OS, and im just not familiar enough to dig on my own to suss it out.
im getting the general drift but the commands and locations aren't stuck in yet
candid arrow
I had framerate issues until switching to nvidia drivers, but sounds like switching away from them was part of the fix?
Like I go from 4-5FPS at start to 350FPS just by switching to nvidia drivers from the ubuntu contextless defaults.
Also consider the nvidia 535 drivers or 545, 550 is a lil TOO new so my bad there.
rich bone
glx info should show you're running on the nvidia drivers you installed?
cunning wave
OpenGL version string: 4.5 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 24.0.5-1ubuntu1
is that what we're loooking for?
rich bone
hmm m I forgot the command for where it shows you which driver is running your gpu
lsmod | grep nouveau
sudo lshw -c video
cunning wave
no dice
rich bone
sudo lshw -c display
cunning wave
the latter... is uhhhh.... running?
rich bone
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
trying to see if nvidia is being used and not nouveau
rich bone
hmmm ok you are running nvidia
rich bone
yea resolution seems off
check your display settings?
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-settings
nvidia-settings
check that shit
make sure settings are ok
cunning wave
display says 1080p
normal
huh... still on 550
that upgrade didn't happen
nvidia setttings isn't showing my resolution anywhere...
obvious
mesa compatibility profile?
"Unable to open X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for writing"
now... it can't save resolution/hz settings
i sudo'd it too
it was on auto resolution and auto refresh rate
cunning wave
I think i got it to 555
proud lantern
Also consider the nvidia 535 drivers or 545, 550 is a lil TOO new so my bad ther...
545 is iffy, had lots of issues for me at least, 555 works great for me and i have a very old gpu
cunning wave
545 is iffy, had lots of issues for me at least, 555 works great for me and i ha...
i think its on 555 now...
but i can't tell
the commands to get graphical interface information seem alll over the place
proud lantern
hmmm that's annoying
cunning wave
software & updates states 555, but idk if i need to do a restart, purge anything, or if im actually on 555
cunning wave
gave it a good kick and a swift restart... its on 555 now
kwin x11
i see that running on the gpu.. which, thats fascinating
@proud lantern should i purge or autoremove or anything?
cunning wave
because.. bar failed again XD
big surprise nvidia... big surprise
alright... i guess back to noveau then
also... now one of my hard drives is gone...
there, but can't mount
Error mounting /dev/sdc4 at /media/zeric/Virex: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc4, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
proud lantern
Error mounting /dev/sdc4 at /media/zeric/Virex: wrong fs type, bad option, bad s...
what
ummmmm
that's unrelated maybe probably i hope
cunning wave
This... No its pretty bad
proud lantern
hmmm
cunning wave
This is my normal experience on linux, troubleshooting until the cows come home
cunning wave
Reboot done, let's see how noveau does
proud lantern
This is my normal experience on linux, troubleshooting until the cows come home
oh linux in general you meant?
yeah sometimes
not having nvidia helps
using a more bare distro is nice cause when problems happen at least it's your own fault usually
cunning wave
Which is stupid...
proud lantern
or a bad update and you just look online and revert
cunning wave
Ok do I just run bar now and hope this still works?
proud lantern
yeah ig
proud lantern
rippppp
cunning wave
seems like nvidia can't program in linux for shit to me
still having that weird mega darkening problem too
when i have a dark window, the whooole screen thinks it should go dark
well at least bar works now
sigh
cunning wave
me either
however... seems that the hdd wasn't unmounted properly, and now has a problem with its superblock
i have to try to fix a fucking windows ntfs, with linux to get it back
uuuuugh
WHY
annd... video playback is now quite smooth
one new major problem for two others fixed
cunning wave
does the hdd have files on it?
quite a lot
rich bone
let let me try to figure out and help tomorrow
cunning wave
but... i think with the whatever dismount error, it screwed up the index
rich bone
if you need to keep files it could be trickier
cunning wave
sure plxnt, i appreciate all the help
rich bone
ofc :)

i don't neeeed to, but i just moved things to it, and id like to retain them
like.. reasonably strong preference 8/10
but.. playback is now smooth, bar now runs
cunning wave
OS is back up and running without a hitch
even some shortcuts broke but i just deleted and replaced them too
so lots of things are working fine as id expect... and, only two thingy's left
- hdd with games i spent a while downloading
- the weird screen dimming (like if i open a dark application, it gets pretty dim). i know its OS and not samsung tv because i reset its settings.

- chkdsk /f needs ran on a working windows partition... which i don't have (and on a dual boot like this im not even sure HOW to fix lol)
fuck
i wonder if i can just do a little teeny windows drive, and use the tool on that
rich bone
I just put this on a usb bootable drive to fix some drives:
It's pretty sweet
cunning wave
alright... ill have to do that in short order, thanks for hte tool advice 🙂 i really like having good toolkits
bar barely runs at 23fps at the start and dips to ... 12ish after the first 30s
cunning wave
