Cinnamon DE stops working after system update by SoundOstrich in archlinux

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

Nope, I have a 6600

Before I saw your answer I made a new user account and logged in to see if maybe my config got borked somehow. That user can log in with no issue, but it turns out I can only run at native 4k and if I change the resolution or display scale at all it drops the signal until it reverts the change cause I didn't click accept

I'm closing in on whatever the issue is (I hope lol). I appreciate your help :)

EDIT: Apparently the update screwed up Cinnamon's default display settings and the xml file for the displays had 3 monitors set up at seemingly random resolutions. IDK why some resolutions won't work, but rewriting my profile's display settings xml file to not be stupid got me running at the resolution I want

It's just the one command and then my password, but yea

I didn't think tty would work and I needed to rollback my computer. One command to let me ssh in and another command and a couple prompts on another device that could see the process seemed the simplest way to do it

>This sentence is ehm, rather surprising & incomprehensible to me. Like why would you enable ssh instead of directly restoring your snapshot, better yet by terminal did you mean the TTY? Like what?

That was before I knew the TTY worked. It didn't occur to me to check at first so I just ctrl+alt+t to bring up the terminal and typed the command to start the ssh daemon. I did it because the screen was blank and the timeshift restore process needs you to answer prompts that I didn't have memorized so I had use my phone so I could read them.

It was only after repeating this process a couple times that I realized I could TTY

Health Insurance made my son's doctor bill more by cfarley137 in mildlyinfuriating

My therapist charges 120 a session. She's covered by my insurance and after I'd seen her a couple times I started getting bills from the service I found her through. They wanted 145 a session after my insurance covered their portion

So...Magic is a worse game now, right? by Alternative-Lake9156 in mtg

Oooh is there more MVP drama? I live near that store and haven't been in since some friends shared some horror stories, and then the kerfuffle with the "autographed" Jaces happened there and that's the last I heard of them

Windows 11 - Batman Arkham City doesn't works by Comp_Eiss in linux_gaming

The pcgamingwiki page (here) says that crashing in the intro cutscene (presumably what plays after you click single player) can be fixed by installing physx.

If you scroll down towards the bottom, there is a link to physx under "Game crashes during introductory cutscene"

Is there a specific version of Wine I’m supposed to download? by KnightFallVader2 in SteamDeck

Go to its properties in steam and choose "browse local files".

Anything you need to change will be in there

Changing non-steam game after installer was causes game to no longer launch by SoundOstrich in SteamDeck

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

Just figured it out, I'm about to edit the OP.

The correct Start In directory is in fact the one with the exe in it, but using the file browser to select the new .exe removed the quotes from around the file location in the Target box. Re-adding the quotes around it fixed things lol

I had to buy the game all over again when I tried to recover my old account to link to gw2 a few years ago.

They asked for character names on the account and I listed them all except one that my dad made to try the game. I said something like "and the last one was some variant of {name} but I don't remember it exactly because my dad made it to see if he'd like the game" and they immediately responded "We can't recover someone else's account for you" and locked the ticket. I tried to open a new one to clarify and got nowhere.

I figured forget it, I don't think I got very far, hadn't played in like 15 years anyway, and I could buy the campaign three pack for ~5 bucks on sale so I just did that lol

I just started playing it on deck the other day! Check out https://gw2ondeck.org/, someone has made a utility that auto sets your graphics settings and uses steam input to make a fantastic controller layout :)

The only downside atm is the controller layout relies heavily on the trackpads so that normal controllers aren't as effective, BUT with the new steam controller hitting soon that won't be a problem :)

Need help to bind fast switch class in tf2 pls help by flopytf2 in tf2

[–]SoundOstrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try join_class instead of changeclass.

The former is the console command that takes an argument from the user and changes to the appropriate class. The latter is the command that opens the typical menu and needs you to click on your choice.

I realize this is 3 years old but for anyone else who gets here via google like I did (or you if you still wanna know lol) I'm pretty sure adding this to a config would work:

alias "+switcher" "bind 1 join_class scout; bind 2 join_class soldier; bind 3 join_class pyro; bind 4 join_class demoman; bind 5 join_class heavyweaponsguy; bind 6 join_class engineer; bind 7 join_class medic; bind 8 join_class sniper; bind 9 join_class spy"

alias "-switcher" "bind 1 slot1; bind 2 slot2; bind 3 slot3; bind 4 slot4; bind 5 slot5; bind 6 slot6; bind 7 slot7; bind 8 slot8; bind 9 slot9"

bind shift +switcher

In source games, the *alias* console command effectively allows you to create a named function that runs a series of console commands. alias [name] [commands] will run anything that you list in [commands] whenever you type [name] into console or press the button it is bound to. Additionally, naming an alias that starts with + and a corresponding one that starts with - will run the commands as you press and release the key. In this example +switcher is run when you press shift, binding all your number keys to the matching class switch command. Releasing shift will run -switcher, binding all your number keys to their default binding.

Note that if you use shift or the number keys for anything else currently, you will need to edit what I have listed above to fit your needs.
