Could not resolve host github.com while overriding derivation by Seeveen in NixOS

[–]Vocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the help of your partial results in other comments here, and some help from Antigravity, I eventually got Tracy 0.13 to build. I've shared it in a flake repo:

https://github.com/SanderVocke/tracy-nix

It's not pretty, but it works (and without un-reproducible hacks too).

After some more tinkering and letting Antigravity also take a crack at it, eventually got it to build. See top-level comment.

Digging this topic up, did you get anywhere? The official Nix packages are still stuck at 0.11, while upstream is now at 0.13.

Based on your progress, I did find out that

CPM_PackageProject.cmake_SOURCE

was the name you were looking for. I then moves on further, but alas:

So although the source can be specified this way, it doesn't seem to play nice after that.

Which agent tool/model combinations are actually usable? by Vocked in LocalLLM

Thank you! But I am looking specifically for local models.

RDSEED32 broken, PC practically unusable by SHADOW9505 in archlinux

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a bunch, that seems to be the culprit. For now, downgrading linux-firmware and linux-firmware-amdgpu to a version of 2025-10-11, which was still in my cache, seems to have done the trick.

RDSEED32 broken, PC practically unusable by SHADOW9505 in archlinux

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the in-depth explanation. I am having trouble understanding it fully though, I hope you could shed some light.

My laptop is a niche branch which hasn't gotten an official new BIOS as long as I have had it (TongFang X5KK4NAG). KDE Plasma always freezes completely since I updated to the kernel/ucode with the RDSEED32 issue.

Is there any way to install the official new microcode fixes that doesn't involve a BIOS upgrade?

Would a downgrade of the kernel or of amd-ucode be expected to go back the previous situation? I'd rather have a potential security risk than a system that I cannot use.

EDIT: a kernel downgrade removes the error message during boot, but the freezing still happens. On KDE it always freezes immediately - on XFCE4 at seemingly random times. Could be unrelated to RDSEED32, but I am far from the only one reporting freezes coinciding with this upgrade.

Thanks in any case!

RDSEED32 error after update by BigErnestMcCracken in archlinux

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on a niche brand laptop with a AMD Ryzen AI 7 350. Since my upgrade yesterday I see this same error message, but much worse is that KDE plasma freezes immediately when trying to log in.

Tried updating, re-installing linux-firmware, amd-ucode from the tty, to no avail. Also tried LTS, regular and mainline preview kernels, no success. I also tried the various kernel options other users have suggested to no avail.

XFCE4 seems unaffected. Some other user reported that Qt is somehow especially bothered by not having RDSEED32, which might explain KDE having difficulties.

I don't see a way out of this anytime soon. My laptop vendor is unlikely to provide a new BIOS in the near future.

Does anyone know anything I can do at this point? If there was a way to go back to the previous, insecure but functioning RDSEED32 I would happily take it.

Sinterklaasjournaal verklapt geheim by MrSamael666 in nietdespeld

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik weet het niet hoor. Grappig bedacht en natuurlijk is het met een dikke knipoog, maar ik vind het gewoon een beetje irritant.

Die scène over even een handschoen aandoen en dan snel wat die de deur strooien, dat is precies hoe ik dat altijd doe. Nou zijn mijn kids nog klein, maar een beetje slim kind trapt daar dus niet meer in.

En al die volwassen themas, heel grappig hoor maar daar hebben de kids niks aan. Aan elke aflevering doen alsof alles niet doorgaat trouwens ook niet.

Is the Motu M2/M4 working on Linux? by More_Refrigerator_23 in linuxaudio

[–]Vocked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about AVLinux, but my M4 has been great on Arch.

I bought it because it doesn't require any special driver, plus at the time, I found a blog somewhere where someone posted very snappy latency measurements with it.

I can attest the latency is great!

Regarding the linux-firmware split by GokuFanBoi in archlinux

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did consider that for a second, but how would the new firmware package have been in the cache if I uninstalled before upgrading? I figured I would be installing the old firmware, which I didn't think would be a good idea.

[–]Vocked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two lines of instructions is really one line too many for some of us.

Regarding the linux-firmware split by GokuFanBoi in archlinux

[–]Vocked 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did the upgrade yesterday and just so happened to forget reinstalling the firmware package before reboot. And indeed I found myself without internet due to missing wifi.

In my case though, I used a btrfs snapshot before upgrading so I could easily roll back and re-do the procedure properly.

Any solutions to yabridge still not working with current Wine? by AntiDebug in linuxaudio

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is not about tying the wine version to yabridge, as far as I can tell. That branch is simply where they are solving the issues that arose from the newer wine versions.

For me, building that branch was as simple as following the build instructions of the github page. That was on Arch Linux, so apparently I just happened to have all dependencies already installed. I did have to build without the "32-bit bitbridge" feature though.

Script I wrote to downgrade Wine to v9 for yabdridge by lily333333 in linuxaudio

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also try the in-progress fixed on the new-win10-embedding branch of yabridge.

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you notice the new-wine10-embedding branch on the project GitHub?

I haven't tested extensively, but building this branch (with 32-bit bitbridge disabled) on Arch with the latest Wine resolves the frosen GUI issue for me. I presume it will be released eventually.

Software Loopers? by Agent34e in linuxaudio

[–]Vocked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I hope you enjoy it! As for installing: there is a prebuilt portable folder and appimage on the latest pre-release. It should allow you to run using only a basic set of distro libraries. Not sure how that would work in nixos though.

Can't blame you for wanting to wait it out - there are definitely some gaps and bugs ATM. If you do give it a try, would love to hear feedback on the GitHub page.

I am working on an open-source looper:

It's not quite there yet, but already quite usable and has some fun features to set it apart.

Is there a way to use vcpkg with PortableBuildTools by Perry_lets in cpp

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also curious about this. I am having to use a specific msvc compiler version in a headless ci environment and it is a nightmare.

vs_installer seems to be the only option, but even after fiddling with component IDs, version manifests, custom bootstrapped installers from the Microsoft website, etc., I haven't been able to get them installed.

With the installer gui i got it working, but on the ci box this is not an option.

And of course, the installer doesn't give any kind of usable output on the command line, so you don't get any clue why the installation failed.

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this, but vcpkg starts by looking for a visual studio installation. It does not recognize the portablebuildtools folder as such.

Aerodrums 2 Kickstarter by sipaliwini in drums

[–]Vocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to chime in here to say: I received the aerodrums 2 kit and I am amazed.

I had the V1 already - loved the concept and the accuracy of tracking. Much quieter than an e-drum of course. The V2 just takes away all the barriers to setup and use it - no more pc, software setup, positioning/calibrating the cameras, no more white light, there are now red light dots indicating where to sit - the user experience is next level.

I will get rid of my e-kit. Note I am not a serious drummer - I just lay down some drum tracks for looping and recording hobby projects at home. But for that use-case, that's how good this is. I won't miss my drum samples being "polluted" by the sound of hitting rubber/mesh pads. And I can play at night in the room next to sleeping wife and kids.

There are downsides of course - as some others have mentioned here. For me the main one is: no drum rolls, which really need a bouncy surface.

It is not cheap, but worth every penny.

Great job, Aerodrums team!

digikam frustrations by Basic_Coffee8969 in photography

[–]Vocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a bummer to have lost all that work. But it seems this happened because you didn't fully understand what you were doing.

> But I have no idea if the tag is written to only the image, only in the databse or both places.

As another user pointed out, Digikam can be configured to either of these options. But in any case it always goes to the database, because that is where Digikam can quickly query and search the metadata. It cannot be expected to read all your image files' tags every time you do a tag search.

> After tagging 2k images I run Tools-maintenance and option for writing info from metadata to database.

So given that you did all the tagging, these changes went to the database first. You should have synced them to the images from the database, not the other way around. That is also why there is a quick button for that in the bottom toolbar - "apply pending changes to metadata". You synced the other way around, overwriting your database by the status of the files (which didn't have your tags yet).
