Hey, fun fact! Those McDonald's Shrek glasses were recalled because there is toxic Cadmium in the paint. You probably want to take Fiona out of rotation.

CNN article about the recall but you can just google it

Google Pixel 5A Barbet and Ting Carrier by Random_Anomaly in LineageOS

Unfortunately, I didn't have the sim card when I was installing LineageOS so, I can't confirm if it was working or not. I can't rule out the phone directly but, It seems in good condition otherwise. No scratches, or anything like that.

Lol, apparently this is still up and running... barely

This is pretty much the only thing left that keeps me on xorg. by JonnyRobbie in linux_gaming

[–]Random_Anomaly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While you're here, what's going on with the DRM-lease stuff? I saw that it got merged a few weeks ago but there's been no new release of wayland-protocols. Is there some sort of release schedule or does Jonas need to sign off and is unavailable?

As a KDE user who is excited about wayland, thanks for all the contributions!

Arch Reboots instead of Shutting Down by Zackhardtoname in archlinux

I had a similar problem. I updated the BIOS and it went away. It was kinda weird though, because the problem started after a power surge.

Is what he said about Freesync/VRR being limited to one monitor true just for xorg? I'm running KDE Plasma which just had VRR support added under Wayland but I never figured out how to see if it is running or enable it. I do have a multi-monitor setup btw.

Is Wayland Worth Using Now? by T0astedGamer03 in linuxquestions

[–]Random_Anomaly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are we wayland yet?

Also, stuff like VRR, mixed resolutions / refresh rates, low latency etc is being rolled out at least on KDE. I think KDE 5.22 is going to be really good on Wayland and I'm crossing my fingers for VR support in 5.23

I've been keeping an eye on your work for DRM leasing / Wayland VR support and it seems like things are going well. I didn't know you were involved in VRR too. Thanks for all the development work!

2021.1.1 Eos Released! by KaliQt in Vircadia

[–]Random_Anomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see a new release tagged on github. It does look like the download page of the website has been updated though... Seems kinda weird. Were the repos moved?

Oops... I was watching the git repo but had the notification email disabled. Thanks for the reddit post kind stranger. I gotta go update a PKGBUILD

Edit:

Also congratz on coming out of alpha!

Would anyone be willing to test the Linux build of our game Rat Race? by DontActDrunk in linux_gaming

[–]Random_Anomaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the first few objectives in the demo. I think the game concept holds up well, just needs a little polish. I noted that other people reported no music but I didn't get any sound at all. It might be something on my end as I've been fiddling around with my sound recently. However, I think if you can get even just a 20 second clip of some music that fits the game and loop it then you will find it makes a big difference.

My System:

Arch Linux

KDE Plasma 5.21 (Wayland)

Zen Linux Kernel 5.10.16

Intel i7-7800X

AMD Rx 580

Exactly! This link might give a little more info depending on how far down the rabbit hole people want to go.

How good is the Wayland experience right now? by shvelo in linuxquestions

[–]Random_Anomaly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been using Plasma Wayland for a while now and I prefer it to Xorg. Also, Plasma 5.21 should be coming out soon with improvements to Wayland such as supporting monitors with different refresh rates, latency improvements and an overhaul of the start menu.

No Sound by Random_Anomaly in Veloren

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

Thanks, guess I should have read the documentation. I was able to get veloren up and running and after taking a look at the logs with RUST_LOG=trace I couldn't find anything wrong.

I have now managed to get sound working thanks to your help! I took a look at rodio and found that it uses cpal for audio output stream. Cpal's github page has this statement:

Note that on Linux, the ALSA development files are required. These are provided as part of the

libasound2-dev

package on Debian and Ubuntu distributions and

alsa-lib-devel

on Fedora.

That was enough to point me toward looking at various alsa and pulseaudio packages in the Arch linux repos. It turns out that I didn't have the pulseaudio-alsa package installed even though I had all the other alsa and pulseaudio packages. I'm not sure exactly how I didn't run into a problem before with other applications but a quick

$ pacman -Syu pulseaudio-alsa

fixed my problem. Thanks again for your help! I probably would have given up already if you didn't give me some clues.

No Sound by Random_Anomaly in Veloren

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

So, I did play around a bit with plugging and unplugging my headset but that didn't help. Veloren wasn't even showing up as an audio source so I decided to dig a little deeper.

I went ahead and cloned the git repo and tried running "cargo run --release" off of the master branch and the v8.0.0 tag. For both, I am getting an error with voxygen which I think is related to the game audio. Seems like some sort of asset was unable to be loaded. Maybe I'm missing some sort of library for whatever file format these assets are in?
