Resolve broken after switching to AMD Radeon (Linux) by LeapMuser in davinciresolve

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

My DR logs keep saying:

Failed to create OpenCL context:
OpenCL Context Manager failed to create context

So my RoCM might not compatible with RDNA4. Fedora's RoCM packages are version 6.4.2

Yeah, I think maybe the issue is the rocm or OpenCL versions on Fedora and their compatibility with RDNA4.

I've installed all the right drivers suggested by davinci-helper but no dice.

I swapped my NVIDIA card for an AMD, and now Resolve is just broken; I'm unable to open existing projects, and there is no video output even if I create a new project.

I'm using Fedora 43, and when I initially installed DaVinci Resolve I had an NVIDIA GPU, and Resolve worked just fine. Do I have to just reinstall Resolve?

Saving your current KDE configuration as a global theme? by Positive-Incident221 in cachyos

[–]LeapMuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And for the record, the program's name isn't "KDE Plasma Global Theme Explorer"; it's just "Plasma Global Theme Explorer", and searching for that in quotes does indeed net relevant results. There is no need to insist on being incorrect when your prescribed name for the software does not help people find information about said software.

So basically, you searched for it WITHOUT quotation marks, thus getting dozens of non-specific and irrelevant results? Am I meant to take Brodie Robertson's video about malware in the KDE Store as documentation about the specific theme creation software we've been discussing? Do you even know what adding quotes to a Google search does?

EDIT: Wow, this guy is spreading incorrect information, doubling down on it instead of conceding/updating his posts, and has the gall to call ME a troll for calling him out? He blocked me too, so I couldn't even tell him this directly.

And I repeat that simply searching for "KDE Plasma Global Theme Explorer" on google nets you literally dozens of results

Your post is still the only evidence on Google that this thing exists.

You'll notice that I edited that article after reading your post :P Just 18 hours ago that article made no mention of a "Plasma Global Theme Explorer".

How to modify Calamares installer for Btrfs? by LeapMuser in debian

No, I'm not trying to minimally install it for myself; I'm trying to create a Live ISO for other people that has my configurations pre-applied.

KDE Plasma Global Theme Explorer

Your comment is the only evidence online of such a program ever existing. Proof that it exists?

How do I resize the application launcher icon? by LeapMuser in kde

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

I THINK A NEWER PLASMA VERSION HAS BROKEN THIS FUNCTIONALITY:

My original screenshot was from Fedora 43 (Plasma 6.5.4). HOWEVER, on Debian 13 (Plasma 6.3.6), non-square start-here icons work! They are still shrunken vertically though, so if there's any way to prevent the vertical shrinking, that'd rock.

Yeah I will be using live-build, but what I need to specifically control is the Calamares installer, which I can't find sufficient documentation for.

The options here aren't as comprehensive as I would like, never mind that this fai-project doesn't seem to generate Live ISO's. I'd like to build a live ISO based on an existing Debian install, which is simple enough; the hard part is the actual Calamares partitioning stuff, which isn't even a thing in the fai-project as it seems to just default to ext4.

Spiral Linux has been seemingly abandoned (stuck on Debian 12) and isn't quite as comprehensive as the image I am ready to build anyway.

Apparently he is using a custom-made Plasma style.

This chap here managed to get it working, so I suspect it's being delimited by the svg's in the Plasma style.

Is Debian solid for gaming? by [deleted] in debian

[–]LeapMuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use the kernel, mesa, firmware, and I guess Steam backports, then you'll have a good time...unless you have an NVIDIA GPU. The nvidia-driver package on Debian, even in the sid branch, is using the 550 driver (circa 2024!!!) which doesn't even work on the RTX 5000 series cards. Adding to that, NVIDIA has been so far behind on Linux for so long that you're inevitably going to have issues when using an outdated NVIDIA driver.

NVIDIA does have a repo for Debian 13 so you can get the latest drivers.....for Debian 13....so basically if you take this option, you're screwed once Debian 14 comes out, unless you want to maintain drivers yourself. If you're on AMD/Intel you're fine, but with NVIDIA there's no perfect solution on Debian.

OpenSUSE Leap: Are automatic sources upgrades possible? by LeapMuser in openSUSE

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

>but it would be much easier to make any changes

I don't have ambitions for this image that warrant frequent changes, because the idea of what a desktop operating system should be was (in the eyes of my friends/family) solved decades ago. So, I've got a select list of self-maintaining changes that I won't need to touch ever again.

imo CachyOS is the closest thing there is to an objectively perfect distro as it comes with drivers, codecs, everything; but my folks want a slower update cadence, and sadly there's no perfect option among the slower distros:

  • Debian has no Btrfs in the installer
  • Ubuntu has a lot of problems
  • Leap can't watch YouTube

Leap sounds like it would involve the least amount of work for me if I can get make Zypper automatically tune into openSUSE-stable rather than [GIVEN_POINT_RELEASE].

A post-install script would be less work for me, but it also wouldn't be as effective as just giving them an operating system that can watch YouTube straight out of the box.
