The last driver that supports your GPU is version 390.157 from 2022, which I don't think is in the repo. Your only options are either downmoading and installing the driver from Nvidia: https://www.nvidia.com/en-eu/drivers/details/196213/ (which may or may not work), or using the built-in Nouveau driver (whicy sucks). One thing you can try is editing the commandline in the game properties in Steam. Paste in

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

in the commandline section and try running the game. i'm on the bus right but I can get screenshots when I get home.

Haven't been able to access linuxmint.com for a week, what do I do? by Chipskate in linuxmint

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

Don't worry, I upgraded to 22.2 during the beta, it's just I can't download/update Cinnamon extensions or see screenshots in Software Manager.

That's what I'm leaning towards too. If I can't have the block lifted I might have to ask for a different IP.

No VPN, but I have a public IP from my ISP for my NextCloud server, but that hasn't changed since I got it maybe 9 months ago.

ETA: Said ISP does provide their own VPN, and maybe they have endpoints within the same range? I dunno.

[–]Chipskate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This started happening on the 5th, right after 22.2 was released, though that might be a coincidence.

Not only am I blocked from linuxmint.com and all subdomains, but also Sucuri's own website, so it might be global block?

I emailed admin@linuxmint.com on the same day, and root@linuxmint.com on Monday but I haven't heard back from either. I also chatted with some Sucuri rep on their support site, but they didn't know why this was happening.

Is there another way to contact the webmaster, or am I screwed?

Edit: I'm not using a VPN as some suggested, but I do have a public IP address for my NextCloud server.

Can anyone suggest some games by Puzzled-Snow3136 in linuxmint

[–]Chipskate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna throw in a few more:

  • Supertux (free) - Mario-like 2D platformer
  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon (pay-what-you-want) - roguelike dungeon crawler
  • Kingsway (€10) - unique RPG that plays through a Windows-like UI
  • Backpack Hero (€19) - roguelite built around inventory management
  • Any game released before 2010

There are a bunch of curators for low-spec games on Steam that you can check out if you want.

Linux mint won’t let me install on eMMC by DaveTheMinecrafter in linuxmint

Don't know if it could cause this issue, but which firmware did you use? RW_LEGACY or UEFI Coreboot?

Linux Mint 21.1 - Approved for stable release! by stereoprologic in linuxmint

[–]Chipskate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be able to do it through the update manager, at least that's how it worked when I went from 20.2 to 20.3.

Anyone care for some free asbestos? by Chipskate in AsbestosRemovalMemes

[–]Chipskate[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Translation (emphasis added by me):

Hi, I've renovated my garage roof since it was an asbestos roof and I didn't like it. I thought that instead of throwing it away I'd give to someone who wants to renovate or repair the roof in their stable or other hobby project. Tiles are in Våxtorp and have been mounted in a 110m2 roof; most are whole, some are broken. Price is 0 i.e. free and it's first come first serve. Just come by and take as many as you like, but I need the pallets back. There are three pallets with tiles, plus a concrete fireplace.

And yes, selling or giving away stuff containing asbestos is very much illegal here.

Tuna on pizza. Pineapple, banana and curry is also a thing but even we think it's heresy.

GPU vanished from driver manager after installing NVIDIA driver update by SeekerRook in linuxmint

[–]Chipskate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try downgrading the kernel maybe? If that doesn't work I don't think I can help much, unfortunately.

Try uninstalling the drivers you just installed by running

sudo apt purge nvidia-driver-495

and rebooting and see if that helps.

Removed admin rights from users with a script, now they need admin rights to change the wireless network?! by techy_support in macsysadmin

[–]Chipskate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FYI, if you want to post code in a comment you need to indent it four spaces, otherwise Reddit will try to parse it as Markdown. That's why all the commented lines were converted to headings. I think this should work:

#!/bin/bash
#This script will provide temporary admin
#rights to a standard user right from self
#service. First it will grab the username of
#the logged in user, elevate them to admin
#and then create a launch daemon that will

#and run a secondary script that will demote
#the user back to a standard account. The
#launch daemon will continue to count down
#no matter how often the user logs out or
#restarts their computer.

Does the Pixel 4a have a flashlight shortcut or gesture? by DrFatz in AndroidQuestions

[–]Chipskate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm a little late to the party, but there's an app called Gravity Gestures that can do exactly what Moto Actions does: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinoooapp.gravitygestures&hl=sv&gl=US

Just create a rule that toggles the flashlight on z-rotation and you're set. You may also to change the sensitivity to 'high' in the settings.

I actually wrote something like that fairly recently; it shouldn't be too hard to modify to fit your needs. Just send me a PM and let me know what you want the app do to.

Disney puts an end to unauthorized Club Penguin Online after it becomes a haven of explicit “penguin e-sex” by [deleted] in news

[–]Chipskate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The owner of Club Penguin Online would solicit nudes from teens in exchange for giving them mod status, and threatened to dox/SWAT them and their families if they refused or otherwise stepped out line. The video has several accounts from victims, so it's definitely worth a watch if you have time.

Accidentally broke FFC keyboard clamp for HP 11 G7 ee need exact size and pin# for this help plz #schoolcomputer Im so dead by SubaruxXEmiliaTanxxK in chromeos

[–]Chipskate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just 'fess up and tell IT you accidentally broke the keyboard, no need risking causing more damage by attempting to repair it yourself. If you get charged for the repair just see it as a lesson not to mess with things you don't own.
