tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 12:58 AM

#

alright so either enroll the nvidia driver with secure boot system, or turn secure boot off in BIOS

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 12:58 AM

#

which ones easier

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 12:58 AM

#

is this single boot pc?

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 12:58 AM

#

i have linux mint on a seperate usb drive and i have windows on my main drive

#

cause i didnt delete windows cause i didn't know if i would like linux

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 12:59 AM

#

best if u enrolled the driver then

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 12:59 AM

#

ok how do i do that

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

#1295763692415356968 message try that

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

what order do i do them in

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

if really can't get it, then turn it off, but be extremely weary in Windows not to get weird unofficial stuff

#

order shown

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:04 AM

#

is it one big command or a bunch of 1 by 1 it shows that its 1 big one for me

#

do i need secure boot off first and run the commands or keep it on and run them

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:05 AM

#

keep it on

#

he wrote each in sequence. pretty sure it's crystal clear

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

can you write it out for me it shows one big one for me idk why

#

sorry

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:08 AM

#

mokutil --list-enrolled
sudo mokutil --test-key /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der
sudo mokutil --enable-validation```

At some point it will ask you to create a password, remember it and when you reboot and enable Secure Boot, you will likely need to choose enroll MOK option and enter the same password

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

why doesnt control c control v work for me

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

In terminal must add shift key to those

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

oh

#

mx@mx-Legion-T7-34IRZ8:~$ sudo mokutil --test-key /var/lib/shim-
Failed to open /var/lib/shim-

#

wait

#

typed it in wrong

#

oops

#

mx@mx-Legion-T7-34IRZ8:~$ sudo mokutil --test-key /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der
/var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der is already in the enrollment request

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:13 AM

#

ok next and last command

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:13 AM

#

last one is sudo mokutil --enable-validation right

#

mx@mx-Legion-T7-34IRZ8:~$ sudo mokutil --enable-validation
password length: 8~16
input password:
input password again:

#

ok now what i entered the password

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

then reboot and jeremy explained it

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:16 AM

#

Ok im restarting

#

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:25 AM

#

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:25 AM

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

do i run sudo apt install steam to install steam

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:27 AM

#

mehh. u can i guess, not sure. try the software manager, it's a bit more explanatory

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:27 AM

#

ok

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:27 AM

#

usually it gets a stub for steam, which u then run to get the official install

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:27 AM

#

ok thanks

#

This computer appears to be using the Nvidia binary graphics driver (the nvidia-driver package).

Steam is a 32-bit program, so running it on this computer requires the 32-bit versions of the Nvidia libraries, even if all the games you will run via Steam are 64-bit. Please install the nvidia-driver-libs:i386 package.

For full functionality (including Vulkan), also install the libraries listed as Recommends in the nvidia-driver-libs:i386 package.

If you are using a legacy version of the Nvidia driver such as nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver, please install the corresponding 32-bit legacy package, for example nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver-libs:i386.

#

do i click next?

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:29 AM

#

ooof

#

i guess

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

what does that even mean?

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

if it offers yes/no, then yes

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

it offered one option and it said next

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

do that then

#

anothr way if it doesnt work is install synaptic package manager, n install the 386 thing it mentions ther

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:32 AM

#

how do i take screen shots?

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:33 AM

#

alt+prtscr key

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

i dont have prtscr on a 60% keyboard

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

look closely at all the keys. im sure it's there, if even as a 2nd function

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

yeah i dont see one is it possible to rebind it to something different

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

#

it in keyboard settings: shortcuts tab

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 1:37 AM

#

is it possible to get rid of this?

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:37 AM

#

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

if your CPU supports it, look in tray area near clock for power manager, and set to maximum performance.

@tribal basin

tribal basin Jun 30, 2025, 10:08 PM

wine is often recommended to add the winehq repository,,, google for info.

#

logitech idk if u mean colour stuff, try openRGB app

#

or the piper flatpak for mouse tuning

grand sandal Jun 30, 2025, 10:11 PM
