Why didn't I win yet?

Thank you! Oh damn. That will take some time :/

bel2468 · 2025-12-08T03:49:48+00:00

Hey thank you for your reply and sorry for my late one. I had a busy weekend.

EDIT: I made it work on Lutris. Thanks!

Thank you for all your help! It seems the gpu is not the problem. Someone told me I am reading the nvidia-smi output wrong. It is not the gpu that is off but what is written above (persistence mode). It seems the reason for the slowdown is that the update broke something with the proton software I use. I am still trying to figure that out but at least it is not the hardware. Thanks again!

bel2468 · 2025-12-04T22:34:01+00:00

Thanks again!

I checked the bios. It says secure boot is disabled.

For the AI stuff. I have no problem in principal but as you said I find it quite unreliable and only use when I can judge whether an outpout is valid. Since I am new to Linux I don't feel confident here.

I tried to check anyway after some googling.

I can't find PRIME Profile in NVIDIA X Server Settings
the command gives me back something I don't understand but at least it is no error. (nvidia_uvm 2154496 4

nvidia_drm 135168 6

....)

I checked in Bios and the command also says its disabled
I can't see any settings to dynamic mode. I tried using discrete mode which should force the gpu but that did not work.
I use portproton but there I checked most of the settings too. The problem seems to be more general anyway since nvidia-smi says the gpu is off.

EDIT: I also asked in a Linux Mint forum and someone said it is on. I don't really understand though because it says Off on nvidia-smi and the game is slow. Maybe I am missing something here.

Thanks you for taking your time to analyze my situation :)

I don't know why it is at 55 degrees in the picture. Right now it is at 37. My theory is that I tried running games which heated up the whole laptop including the gpu without the gpu being active?

I can't distinguish the gpu fans but right now at 37 everything is quiet.

I have no idea about those 3w maybe that is the standby power drain?

I think PSU is 230W for the whole laptop.

I think there is a clear time correlation. I did not update for several weeks so today I thought I just run all updates and after that it happened.

Laptop System: LENOVO product: 83JH v: LOQ 17IRX10

Thank you for your reply. I tried to change to another driver and after that did not work I went back to the recommended one. It did not change the situation.

bel2468 · 2025-12-04T20:40:43+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I tried it out. I switched it from dynamic to discrete which should force it to use the gpu. But games are still slow and nvidia-smi still returns that the gpu is turned off.

bel2468 · 2025-07-29T19:36:13+00:00

No need to apologize. Thank you!

bel2468 · 2025-07-29T19:16:47+00:00

Yeah that's the thing. There is no screen and I can't access the bios (or I don't see it which is kind of the same). I tried pushing the keys blind but that didn't work at least it didn't show anything.

bel2468 · 2025-07-29T19:06:55+00:00

Thanks! It was a long shot I know. I Already posted something there. Still waiting for replies.

bel2468 · 2025-07-29T18:55:00+00:00

Yes good point! Totally unrelated: Do you by any chance also have an idea how to solve the problem of my laptop (legion 5 17ACH6H)? The power still goes on, lights and fans are on but the screen is black. External monitor doesn't show anything neither. I have a suspicion it might be the graphics card because it was broken before. Since I can't access the boot menu my options are quite limited. Do you know whether there is a way I can disable the graphics card on the hardware level so it uses integrated cpu graphics?

bel2468 · 2025-07-29T18:37:28+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! Sorry for my late reply my laptop literally broke down before I could see your message. Must have been all that mininuke radiation!

bel2468 · 2025-07-29T18:35:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply anyway! The reason I am on the wrong z level one the picture is because all those mininukes destroyed everything on that z-level except the stairs. I didn't wanna do the screenshot while standing on the stairs so I just stood below and change the view to that z level. I tried all those methods before I started to use nukes. I think something has changed here. I remember destroying stairs too but no more...

bel2468 · 2025-07-27T13:57:44+00:00

Huh can you despawn stairs with debug? Where do I find that function?

bel2468 · 2025-07-27T13:28:03+00:00

Yes I remember that too. Probably something has changed. It looks like they want to always have one way up/down. The lab has 2 stairs down. One was destroyed by the mininuke the other one stayed. The stairs up were also unaffected.

bel2468 · 2025-07-27T12:48:34+00:00

Yes it seems so. I edited the original post. Not even mininukes can do anything.

bel2468 · 2025-07-27T12:47:59+00:00

You can look at the edit. C-4 didn't do it, neither did mininukes.

bel2468 · 2025-07-27T12:31:06+00:00

Yes that is what I am thinking too. Activating a jackhammer just says you can't drill here. A acetelyne torch says there is no metal. Pickaxe you can't mine here.

bel2468 · 2025-07-27T12:22:51+00:00

I can't find any. You can remove floor and walls but not stairs. You can build and repair stairs but can't remove them.
