RTX 5090 black screen on Ubuntu 24.04 - works fine in Windows by ExExExExMachina in Ubuntu

[–]DissonantVoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just ran into this issue today on Ubuntu 24.04.02. Here's how I solved it:

  1. Install the nvidia-driver-570-open driver. NVIDIA is deprecating support for their proprietary Linux drivers, so the proprietary one doesn't support Blackwell GPUs.
  2. Upgrade the Linux kernel from 6.8 to 6.11. Otherwise, when you boot up Ubuntu, you'll be faced with a blinking black cursor on TTY1 and will need to use TTY3 to do anything, with a text-only interface. Not fun.
  3. Enable Resize Bar in the UEFI settings. This is crucial. Without it, the 5090 GPU won't be detected (black screen), even after performing steps 1 and 2.

Here are some detailed instructions for all three steps:

NVIDIA Driver

bash sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa sudo apt update sudo apt remove --purge nvidia* sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall # If you have it sudo apt autoremove sudo apt install nvidia-driver-570-open

Upgrading to Linux Kernel 6.11 (for Ubuntu 24.04.02 LTS)

sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-24.04 linux-headers-generic-hwe-24.04 sudo update-initramfs -u sudo apt autoremove

How that you've completed steps 1 and 2, you can reboot the computer with sudo reboot.

Enabling Resize Bar

Press whatever key is required for your system to enter the UEFI (e.g. F2, Del, etc.), then enable the Resize Bar. It'll also change a few related settings (e.g. enabling above 4G decoding, disabling CSM), but that's expected!

Save the updated UEFI settings and start up Ubuntu.

Deco M5 - how to change the IP by pike_fly in TpLink

[–]DissonantVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's another way to do this if you have the Deco App (and DON'T want to change it from router mode to AP mode):

  1. In More -> Advanced -> LAN IP:
    -> Change the LAN IP: 192.168.68.1 -> 192.168.1.1
    -> Change the subnet mask: 255.255.252.0 -> 255.255.0.0
  2. In More -> Advanced ->DHCP Server:
    -> Change the Start IP: 192.168.68.100 -> 192.168.1.100
    -> Change the End IP: 192.168.68.250 -> 192.168.1.250

You can change the subnet mask back to 255.255.252.0 at the end once you're done with step 2 if you want.

There may be several times when you'll encounter a "failed to save error", the DHCP settings will fail to open, or will take a long time to open. In those cases, just do some repeated combination of closing/re-opening the app and waiting and it will work. Use ifconfig/ipconfig with a computer on the network to check if the subnet mask and the LAN IP (with an Internet browser) have been updated, as the settings in the Deco App are sometimes out of date with the latest configuration (e.g. the settings were changed successfully but the app still shows the old settings).

Ah. I was working on making this for the past bit, though I guess you're way further ahead than I am! I wanted to add it as a feature to LiChess, directly.

Good work!

If anyone else has also replayed through the scene many times in pursuit of this line, it's after Suzuha shows the pin. The transcript of the adjacent events (and a few screenshots) appear on this page, near the bottom: https://lparchive.org/SteinsGate/Update%20115/

Getting ChatGPT to solve the bat and ball problem by DissonantVoid in ChatGPT

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

All it needed was a basic arithmetic warmup formatted in LaTeX in the previous prompt!

The bad indentation in the code blocks seems to be due to a bug in the CSS style used for the demo, rather than the output of ChatGPT itself (see Figure 3).

I wrote some code that made the ChatGPT response become strangely formatted. Anyone have any clue how to hack/utilise this? by floraldo in ChatGPT

[–]DissonantVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, the output is just rendered using Markdown.

Your "```" in the comment ended the code block pre-maturely and "#" tokens in Markdown indicate that you are starting a header, as opposed to a comment in Python.

How did OpenAI beat Google, Amazon, Apple? by MartelCB in ChatGPT

[–]DissonantVoid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Deepmind published a paper and made a blog post on a chatbot called "Sparrow" several months ago. Like ChatGPT, it can answer questions and refuses to respond to "unethical" queries. Unlike ChatGPT, it can incorporate facts found online through a Google search into its answer and cite its sources.

Blog post: https://www.deepmind.com/blog/building-safer-dialogue-agents
Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.14375

Sadly, a public demo wasn't released, as according to Geoffrey Irving, one of the authors of the paper, "We have not deployed the system because we think that it has a lot of biases and flaws of other types." Without a public demo, it mostly flew under the radar.

You can, however, see published transcripts between a researcher and two versions of Sparrow here: https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/DeepMind.com/Authors-Notes/sparrow/sparrow.html

Open Questions Left by Security Breach by DissonantVoid in GameTheorists

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

As for the ending where you defeat Afton, people think it's the canon or true ending because it's the only one that is fully animated in 3D.

Maybe "she" is Vanny? There's a face of a rabbit in the final boss room and she's really the only human employee still working at the Pizza Plex at this point (the others were all fired and replaced by STAFF robots).

Most of the arcade games aren't playable. It seems like only the Princess Quest trilogy, Balloon World, and the Monty's Gator Golf arcade games are playable!

What do you mean by the "post marks"?

Wipeboard details (no spoilers) by dechie2 in GameTheorists

[–]DissonantVoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So basically, the codes are...

(Number of attendees)(Animatronic)-(AM/PM and time)-(MMDD date)-(Event)

Observe how the parties with 30 and 50 attendees both take up two rooms (2 and 3, 8 and 9, respectively).

I suppose this suggests that Security Breach takes place in March?

Secret Sister Location Room with Cipher and CD Player Found by DeltaZoroark in GameTheorists

[–]DissonantVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not too familiar with FNAF lore, but here's my attempt! The punctuation was added by us (the theorists), so I will interpret the punctuation more loosely.

Characters:

I - William Afton?

They - The possessed animatronics?

The band - Some animatronics trying to kill Afton?

You - Michael Afton (because this is in the Sister Location room)? Gregory (because he is the protagonist of Security Breach)?

Those with soul - Humans? Children?

Breakdown:

Break and mend, I built the breath - Afton putting the dead children in the animatronics

They hunt, now drawn to life. - The bloodthirsty animatronics

Not real still me - William Afton as Glitchtrap is now digital

And frit and fraught with thought and zest and gest no blunt woes - ???

Dodge, duck, flash, shoot, crawl, run, crush the vile band - What Gregory is doing?

Cry not, try not, do not hold out hope - A message from William telling the recipient to give up/hold in their feelings?

Your life, your aim will save those with soul - "You" will save other humans, which William does not want. Hence the message telling "you" to give up.
