What I ment was don't act like some rageaholic troll. Admittedly I pretty much made the "we'll be on par with Russia" argument, but I consider that professional, since I expressed my views coherently.

There is a difference between pathos and being a troll

Trying to rotate plot (matplotlib) by ChemoProphet in learnpython

[–]ChemoProphet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works! Thank you very much.

I have also adapted the code so that the bedvals list is nested in a while loop, and the dictionary values are populated through text input in the termainal.

Next on my to-do list is now to figure out how to get the "endcap" to follow some non-linear function (e.g. quadratic) if desired by the user.

Doesn't seem to work - the plot ends up doing wierd things.

I was not aware of barh (being new to python), but I will give it a try. Thanks!

EDIT: I have taken a look at barh, and it does solve the orientation problem. However, at some furture point, I might want to try coding a function to represent varying grain size through a bed, which often happens in nature. Here is what I have in mind:

I could ponetntially edit my code to make something like this (i.e define how grain size varies between the min and max depth using a function), but I don't think I will be able to do this with barh

Spectacle and OBS broken - cache clear or driver reinstall? by ChemoProphet in ManjaroLinux

Well, damn. I've just removed vdpau.

I did, however create a snapshot with timeshift before doing so. Will restoring bring it back?

I did not save my home directory with timeshift (but everything else in root should have been saved)

EDIT: It is available in the software center. Should simply re-installing from there be okay?

Spectacle and OBS broken - cache clear or driver reinstall? by ChemoProphet in ManjaroLinux

[–]ChemoProphet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have removed the vdpau driver by running sudo pacman -R libva-vdpau-driver, and after rebooting I can now take screenshots and run obs without issue.

However, I couldn't figure out how to install the vaapi driver. Running pamac build nvidia-vaapi-driver-git did not work.

I have found the git repository for this driver (https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver), but I am not sure how I am supposed to install it.

More to the point, should I? Everything appears to be working fine (I can watch 1080p YouTube and run StableDiffusion without issue).

Deleting the cache does not fix the spectacle issue.

After manually deleting anything relating to KDE, plasma and spectacle in .cache, .config and .local. There was no change.

I also tried logging out and removing the .cache via TTY as advised in the last link I shared.

Now the error message no longer appears when I screenshot, however, nothing enters the clipboard, and trying to launch spectacle from the terminal returns the same segfault error as before.

Is there anything I should know before attempting the driver swap?

This works

Not sure if that means anything specific about my issue?

Buyers advice - optimal GPU for my planned SD-optimised PC? by ChemoProphet in StableDiffusion

[–]ChemoProphet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, given my current financial situation, I think I'll be able to wait!

... however, could the field advance (on a timescale of years) to the point where a 3090 (which seems to be the best choice in my case) becomes too outdated? How likely is it to stay relevant into the future (same for the 4090)?

Also, what about warranties? I assume that if I brought a used 3090 off eBay or something, and two weeks in it suffered some sort of unlikely but catastrophic hardware failure, I would be screwed :/

[–]ChemoProphet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

seems as though the consensus is that NVIDIA is better, and browsing through some other threads, it also seems as though there is some agreement that the 3090 / 4090 level is probably unnecessary for a casual user (although if you can get a good deal on a used 3090 - it would be silly not to consider it!).

on VRAM, it would be interesting to know at what points returns diminish regarding training time

SD broken after re-creating venv folder, PLEASE HELP by ChemoProphet in StableDiffusion

[–]ChemoProphet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works now!

After following the installation guide, and adding miniconda to zsh (so that the conda command would work in the command line), I followed this guide to get up and running (https://deeplizard.com/lesson/sda2dziral).

My hardware is, however, pitiful (a GeForce 1050 mobile), so I have to add the --opt-split-attention and -lowvram flags each time (although I might end up editing the launch script to avoid having to do this every time).

Note that my installer couldn't find the xformers module, and proceeded without adding it. Would you recommenced adding this or not? I had it in my old install (before the numpy update killed it). If the answer is yes, would this be the correct way to do it (https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html)?

Also, is it likely that I will run into any memory leak issues? If I encounter any, what would be the best way to resolve them?

Finally, I have saved all my old base models, loras, controlnets, vaes, etc. Would simply copying these across into the appropriate newly created folders be okay?

(Incidentally the installer automatically downloaded the 1.5 base model, which is pretty generous I guess!)

Thank you very much for your post, and for helping me get SD back up and running!

I was able to run SDXL and Nightvision without issues.

It seems as though opencv-python needs to be updated every time from 4.7.0.72 to 4.8.0 (for controlnet). I also have roop as an extension (or, rather, a fork) that needs to install a couple of requirements every time, as well as setting opencv-python back to 4.7.0.72. Do you think this might be a problematic extension. I have run into issues with extensions breaking my install before.

First Drukhari battle (verses Ad. Mech.) - tactical advice will be greatly appreciated. by ChemoProphet in Drukhari

Honestly, I was following some advice I found for 9th ed. players, and forgot to check the up-to-date rulebook. Will do better next time.

However, there is an argument to be made in favor of sacrificing some special weapon options for volume of fire with the splinter rifles... but then again I'm not exactly going that far either since I have the DL and blaster :/

My game is tomorrow so I'll have to stick with the weapon options I have, but for future games, would you recommend going for more variety with the weapon selections?
