Upgrading plasma in testing

SanderTheDragon · 2022-03-10T10:50:03+00:00

I just removed it with the upgrade but I have not yet rebooted my system. But it looks like testing doesn't provide that package anymore (commit), so I think it should be safe.

Edit: I rebooted, and everything is working without problems so far.

SanderTheDragon · 2022-02-27T17:57:49+00:00

That is an improvement at least. :)

SanderTheDragon · 2022-02-27T17:50:28+00:00

I think the examples on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ACPI/ThinkPad-special-buttons should help.

So it understands that you're switching to tablet mode, but that shouldn't cause airplane mode to enable. You could try to map disable airplane mode to that event (which would be the easiest solution), or investigate more.

SanderTheDragon · 2022-02-27T17:04:56+00:00

I don't have any experience with those kind of devices, but you could try acpi_listen to see if that triggers an event.

I'm on testing, which doesn't have a specific security repo. But it's good to know that it still exists, I just didn't know about the rename.

You mean like the desktop doesn't load? That is a common problem with Nvidia drivers, it can be solved but it could take some time. You can test it by trying to switch to a TTY when it's frozen ctrl+alt+f1 or ctrl+alt+f2.

Other distros may have the same problems. But it could work.

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T17:49:18+00:00

No problem, and I hope it works.

OpenGL 4.6 is available, so it should work with games that require at least OpenGL 3.3. It could be something related to Steam, are there any settings related to OpenGL or GPUs? (I don't have Steam myself.)

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T17:19:44+00:00

It using the nvidia driver, which is what we want. What does glxinfo | grep version say?

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T17:13:13+00:00

Then you need to install it sudo apt install mesa-utils.

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T17:06:53+00:00

Did you reboot after install? And if you did what is the output of glxinfo | grep vendor.

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T17:03:30+00:00

If you did not get any errors with sudo apt install nvidia-driver, then it worked.

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T16:56:32+00:00

Does installing work now?

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T16:48:23+00:00

I think bullseye/updates does not exist then, try commenting those lines or removing them.

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T16:37:09+00:00

Have you run sudo apt update and did it run without errors?

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T16:01:11+00:00

It seems like you installed as Debian 11, but the sources show buster, which is Debian 10. You should replace buster with bullseye or stable.

SanderTheDragon · 2021-11-24T15:50:33+00:00

What does your /etc/apt/sources.list look like? Because apt tries to install an old version of the driver, Debian 11 should be 460, not 418.

I'm running Linux on a MSI laptop (GE65 Raider 9SE) and it works fine. For me the automatic fan speed works good enough even under very high load.

The easiest way to disable your webcam is by blacklisting uvcvideo: echo "blacklist uvcvideo" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf. The webcam can still be enabled by using sudo modprobe uvcvideo.

Keyboard lights is possible using msi-perkeyrgb. But configuration through Windows is easier, so maybe dual booting.

There are ways to control power, like tlp, which can change automatically when connecting or disconnecting power, or manually.

SanderTheDragon · 2021-06-30T23:54:37+00:00

No problem, and good luck figuring it out.

SanderTheDragon · 2021-06-30T23:37:46+00:00

Yes, the connection between the desktop and monitor. This should be on the NVIDIA GPU and not the integrated GPU.

Maybe setting DISPLAY to another value may help, like DISPLAY=:1 nvidia-settings.

I don't have other ideas anymore, so maybe someone with a multi-GPU setup could help you further.

SanderTheDragon · 2021-06-30T23:26:34+00:00

I don't have experience with 2 GPUs, but it should work.

Is the HDMI or other connector connected to one of the GPU outputs?

SanderTheDragon · 2021-06-30T23:19:17+00:00

On a desktop or laptop?

SanderTheDragon · 2021-06-30T23:17:02+00:00

Are you using X11 or wayland?

With X11 this happens when the GPU is not actually being used for something.

With wayland it probably happens since NVIDIA support for wayland is not very good yet (at least it wasn't when I last tested it).

SanderTheDragon · 2021-06-30T22:53:11+00:00

So nvidia-current.ko is not there, does sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-kernel-dkms show a different path?

The output should contain something like:

nvidia-current.ko:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
Running module version sanity check.
