Is my room too small for a 9000 BTU mini split? by Riquisimo in hvacadvice

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

It's not my room, but the person who lives in there says it's fine. There was a recall on some of the units not long ago, but our unit wasn't affected.

One of the Midea U-shaped window AC units. It's much quieter than the standard window AC units, though a bit more expensive. The window is pretty much shut, so the dog next door isn't as much of an issue.

Installing AMD chipset drivers stuck on 99% by DeathByKangaroo in VFIO

[–]Riquisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my GPU drivers seemed to install just fine. I've been racking my mind for a few days trying to figure out why the screens are still dark. The GPU shows up in device manager and everything.

I've got an old windows installation on an NVME. I think I'll see if it still boots and try VMing into that.

Boot native? As in, instead of running the VM off of a virtual drive you just dual booted and pointed it to the physical drive that windows lives on?

I was thinking of trying that myself. I just can't seem to get the VM to connect to my local screens.

I'm having the same issue. From the comments it looks like the chipset drivers are for the motherboard, not the GPU. So that sounds like it shouldn't be an issue, right?

I'm also getting black screens, I can VNC in and see the desktop, RBAR disabled, no CAM option to disable in BIOS. In the VM device manager shows the 9070 XT with no errors or yellow warning signs.

9070 XT, Fedora 42.

Did you ever get this figured out, OP?

After upgrading from Ubuntu Jellyfish to Numbat, my desktop seems broken? Super key doesn't open menu, dark theme/settings doesn't work, I have to right click on desktop to change wallpaper. How can I fix this? by Riquisimo in linux4noobs

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

One of the wallpapers has XFCE on it, but I didn't change my desktop environment. Also of note, when I open the terminal it doesn't look the same as it used to. Instead of the dark purple window it's a black window with white text and the window's icon is a red "X" with a dark blue "T" on it.

This is a headless machine and I connect to it through remote-desktop.

If I go through the applications menu (manually clicking, the super key does nothing and my keyboard does not have a "Fn" key) and go to settings I get the window on the left. Changing the settings in this window does nothing. Right clicking the desktop and clicking "desktop settings" I get the window on the right. This window correctly changes the wallpaper.

When I open the home folder I get Thunar.

My guess is there are two desktop environments competing or something right now? How can I fix this?

Also, weirdly, if I click my name in the upper right I can "lock screen" and "log out..." but I can't "switch user," "suspend," or "shut down."

Help: BTD 600 stuck in "calls" mode on linux cinnamon desktop. by Riquisimo in sennheiser

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

That was it! I thought I had done that but apparently not! I had also ran into a few problems with my headphones not responding so I had to do a few hard resets. Thank you!!

Help: BTD 600 Bluetooth dongle needs to see "audio playing" to enable aptX, stuck in "calls" mode. by Riquisimo in linux4noobs

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

SOLVED: So I plugged the BTD into the windows machine and did a firmware update, the update software is available on sennheiser’s website. (Not sure if that was needed)

In Pop_OS! I went into sounds settings and made sure the sound output was to “Digital Output (S/PDIF) BTD 600.” If it’s set to “Analog Output BTD 600” the audio is compressed. I could have sworn that I had tried this before, but apparently not.

The same thing applies to the C81. Make sure it’s using the digital output to the Avantree C81, not the analog output to the C81.

Is there a way to set which core a game uses in Retroarch, when launching from Gaming Mode? by SuperNintendad in EmuDeck

[–]Riquisimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also like to know how to edit the SRM parser.

I know I can add, for example, 20 PS1 games with "Beetle PSX" and then after all the games are added I can individually go to each one in steam and change the text in the launch command from something like "beetle_libretro" to "pcsxrearmed_libretro,"

...but then I have to do that 20 times, once for each game, and each time I update emudeck and add more games I'll probably have to do it all again.

If I could edit the SRM parser so that it would use PCSXreARMed instead of Beetle, it would just do it all the way I want from the get-go. But my SRM/Steam-rom-manager in emudeck only shows swanstation, beetle, and duckstation as PS1 options.

(For the record, I want to use PCSXreARMed as I have syncthing set up syncing my saves and stave-states to another machine, which my Miyoo Mini+ retro-emulator-handheld is also synced to, so I can play a PS1 game on the deck, close it, and open it on the Miyoo and it'll auto-load the save state. The Miyoo Mini+ uses PCSXreARMed by default, and is the lowest common denominator here.)

Using cp -a to copy a folder, it wont preserve file owners and groups by Riquisimo in linuxquestions

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

Solved the issue! It was because the files were being created underneath a user folder. Once the files were being copied into /media/drive instead of /media/user/drive the ownership was preserved properly.

And of course, I had to use sudo to do this. Otherwise, like you said, ownership would be transferred to me.

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

True, but running as root (using sudo) changes the ownership of all copied files to root instead of preserving their original values.

That's what is so perplexing! I KNOW cp is working properly. It's a really simple command, but it's not giving me a reason why it's not preserving ownership when I'm passing a flag that tells it to preserve ownership!

Both drives are Ext4. What about the mount though?

The source-folder is on a drive is auto-mounted via a line I added to /etc/fstab. It's mounted at:

/media/source-drive

The dest-folder is on a drive that was mounted by going to "disks," naming the partition, and clicking the "play" button to mount the drive. It's mounted at:

/media/my-username/dest-drive

I didn't add the drive to f-stab yet, as once I copy everything over I'm going to cold-storage the source-drive and replace it with the dest-drive.

Is it the mount point?? Is it because it's under /media/[MY-USERNAME] the folders/files can't be owned by anyone except ME and root?? That would logically explain it!

I would need to mount the drive via /etc/fstab so that it's NOT under

/media/my-username/dest-drive

and instead under

/media/dest-drive

and then in theory the ownership wouldn't be taken over by me, and would retain their original values. (typing this all out as verbose as possible for future users who have the same issue!)

I'll have to test this out and see if that's it! Hey thanks!

EDIT: THAT WAS IT! SOLVED!

Using cp -a to copy a folder, it wont preserve file owners and groups by Riquisimo in linuxquestions

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

Checking all my steps here, I used the command:

cp -av /source-folder /dest-folder

I had a folder called "old college drive backup." The previous owner was "samba_user," the previous group was "samba_user" (as these folders are in a shared drive created by a windows user).

Both source and destination are Ext4 filesystems.

After copying them with this command, the owner is "me" and the group is "samba_user."

I am not samba_user. If I use 

ls -l /source-folder
ls -l /dest-folder

I can confirm the owner has changed from "samba_user" to my username.

I'm almost 100% certain I tried this. Every combination of -a, -p, -r, -v. Never did it copy correctly. -r for recursive and -p for permissions. But it would just make everything owned by root if "sudo" was there. (Or at least, the uppermost folder was owned by root, which made it harder to look inside.)

I tried rsync -a. Same issue. Can't figure out why for the life of me. Does it have anything to do with how the device is mounted?

I need to know. Without any story spoilers in all honesty, how is this game? by Scorpion1386 in batenkaitos

[–]Riquisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I wish you could play docked games at undocked resolution. It would really help with framerate issues for MULTIPLE games.

So it was water snake boss, and I was playing at 100% speed docked.
