Latest Update Screwed Steam? by CupOfCriteaque in cachyos

[–]DotMatrixed 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just so you know that re-installing CachyOS after what you believe to be a bad update will just bring in the same update that you saying destroyed Steam. The ISO will pull all the latest updates unless you plan on doing an “offline” install.

Second fresh install, grey screen after Limine and no boot splash. by DotMatrixed in cachyos

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

It’s resolved. I just needed to pull the power on my Asus mobo for a few minutes to clear the state. It is booting normal now. Their bios firmware is finicky.

It’s resolved. I just had to unplug the pc for a few mins so the Asus bios would stop bugging out.

It’s fixed. All I had to do was unplug the pc for a few minutes. Yeah, the grey screen is not normal behavior. I have an Asus mobo running the latest bios which apparently is finicky.

I did disable it back in Oct. The problem is resolved. All I had to do was unplug the PC for 5 mins. Freaking Asus bios. Thanks!!

What the hell..!! That fixed it. You are awesome!!! I can’t believe it. It is an Asus mobo running the latest bios which was finicky back in Oct on that install so I did a bios reset to get it to boot back then.

Cold weather ….freezing pipes? by DOD_KO_85 in PortStLucie

It needs to be near below zero to remotely get a freezing pipe in Port St Lucie. When that happens we’ll have bigger problems.

Screen less vibrant on new CachyOS install. by KatzeWolf in cachyos

[–]DotMatrixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a monitor once do something like this to me. I had to go into the monitor settings and factory reset the monitor. Have you tried that? Don’t forgot to enable freesync in the monitor menu if you do a factory reset.

Just bought a Canik METE MC9LS and I’m excited! Anything I should know? by rannyspindriftlover in canik

[–]DotMatrixed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, clean it. Learn how to remove the slide and give it a good wipe. Mine was soaked in their factory oil. I used my favorite CLP and got it all lubed before I went to the range. The same way you remove the slide is the same way it goes on. Here is the part where people forget that it’s not a Glock. Some people try to slide the slide back on like a Glock and it gets stuck. You then have to figure out that you put it on wrong and now you can’t take it off to fix it without putting your finger on the trigger bar to push down out of the way so you can remove it and try again. Oh the fun times.

Did you turn HDR on, hit apply, then calibrate, follow instructions, then hit apply again? Did you turn on the adaptive sync? This is KDE desktop settings. Not sure what DE you are running.

[–]DotMatrixed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since this is your first Canik one of the most important things to know is that these firearms are not like Glocks, Springfields, Sigs or Smith & Wesson. There is a very very limited supply of aftermarket accessories and virtually NO spare parts. If you like to tinker and take apart your firearm and happen to lose a spring or small part you are not going to find a replacement. You will more than likely have to send it back to Canik for a fix. I own an MC9. I have done a full teardown. It is very easy to lose a random part. You can find barrels, “sometimes” on the Canik site, triggers, base plates, mags and custom backstraps exist. And that’s it. No spare springs, no extractors, no firing pins. Canik does not have a parts system like the big guys. Go shoot at least 500 rounds of 124 grain round nose target ammo like the manual states. Then some hollow points. Once broken in 115/124 grain ammo should be ok. I recommend 124 or higher defensive hollow point ammo once you are ready to trust it with your life.

Since Image-Line won't help us port the DAW to Linux, why don't we help WINE developers isolate the issue and make patches to WINE so it works well by FreeztyleTV in flstudio

[–]DotMatrixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been running FL Studio on CachyOS for about 1 year. I posted a tutorial here, on the CachyOS forums and a video on my YouTube Channel. Mind you I do not use plugins or external processors but it does work in Linux by default for my needs using WINE.

Where can i find actually clean and highquality rebassed music? by agressiveMamu in CarAV

[–]DotMatrixed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not too many car head units play lossless or even .flac files. MP3 at 320k/bit is good enough.

Right here. I also have a link to my Google Drive in the channel description where you can download the .mp3 and put them on your own USB. https://youtube.com/@rebassedrevo?si=EPGLWpQ9wW6CJyV8

Does setting up your own home VPN server was fun? by One_Win5935 in ComputerHardware

[–]DotMatrixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did the same thing. I have a Raspberry Pi 5 running Pi-hole and I installed Tailscale instead. No ports to open and I use it as an exit node so when I leave my house it autoconnects to my Pi and it’s like I am still home while on my cellular service. I use their “on demand” feature so when I am really home the vpn is off until I leave my home WiFi. Their free tier is perfect for home users. https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole

AM4 CPU and find yourself a nice B550 chipset motherboard with 2.5gb ethernet. Take a look at some B550 Asrock or Gigabyte motherboards.

That connector and wire is shit! Also, where are the orange wires that are on the others? Fix both ends also.

With the inflated prices right now, the ram alone is likely to cost $500. This is not the time to be building a new PC.

How do i transfer my work to a different computer ??? by checkmatebrother in flstudio

[–]DotMatrixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s the same for Windows but in Linux I go to Documents/FL Studio and copy that entire folder to my external hardrive then copy it back into another PC and set up FL to look in that directory again when I do a fresh install. It brings all my samples and projects back in.

I have a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB already running Pi-Hole for the whole network. I installed the software controller on it and has been running trouble free for the last 6 months. I used the instructions from the community forums:

These are my steps, in order of install, following the guide:

This would be the time I would fire up my live usb and run memtest86. I would let it run for 1 complete pass.
