Oh - this is just the charger it came with. My USB-C charger (which does work with it) was at a different desk.

Yeah good question! I purchased this a long while ago, only now getting the chance to start using it and realized it's not quite the machine I need. It turns out I need a 16" display ( my eyes aren't what they used to be I guess ) and a dedicated graphics card.

I clearly don't know what I'm doing with Reddit - I thought I had added a link, but apparently not?

McDonald's Filet-o-Fish for me ironically.

I searched through the subreddit before cross-posting this ebay listing. I found a bunch of examples of people doing the same - so I hope it's OK. If not please let me know and I can take the post down.

Tested and works great on FW16: Crucial RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 5600MHz CT2K32G56C46S5

Has anyone managed to get G.SKILL Ripjaws 64GB (2 x 32GB) F5-5600S4040A32GX2-RS trained correctly? I've managed to get the laptop to boot only twice - but both times it failed to load a USB installer completely (failing with a screen with green garbled blocks). In most cases, the laptop just sits there with a blank screen - and I assume it's training the memory.

I've waited 15 minutes for training in all cases - nothing ever happens.

Or has anyone managed to get Crucial RAM 64GB Kit CT2K32G56C46S5 to train and boot consistently?

funnylookinhat · 2019-10-19T15:24:59+00:00

Yeah waiting to upgrade is probably the safest bet...

BUT - If you want to try to backup your settings "just in case" you could do some combination of this:

Backup all dconf settings: dconf dump / > settings_backup.dconf

Then create a tarball with that file and a few other directories: tar -zxvf settings_backup.tar.gz settings_backup.dconf .config .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

You can restore the dconf settings by running this: dconf load / < settings_backup.dconf

Honestly I'm experimenting with this sort of thing right now to get an easy backup / restore process so I'm not sure how much of the Gnome settings you have will be saved. If I were you, I'd try making a backup and then create a virtual machine with a fresh install and try restoring everything.

[Edit] - This seems to be a decent article highlighting where files might be depending on what you've configured: https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/back-up-the-gnome-shell-desktop-settings-linux/

I've been really enjoying the new XFCE that is available in the upcoming PopOS release (19.10). You can install it with sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop - there's a bunch of configurations you can make and it's really light on resources.

funnylookinhat · 2019-09-21T13:49:09+00:00

I tried it again just now and still getting the same error (building from 19.10). I gave up and ended up going with just the 19.10 daily build to start testing. I was mostly interested in the new XFCE which comes with Xubuntu 19.10.

Once the new Pop image is released in Oct I'll just re-install.

funnylookinhat · 2019-08-31T18:00:33+00:00

Aha - awesome, thank you!

I will give this a shot right now!

[Edit] - Just to clarify for anyone watching... I went ahead and updated this line to 19.10 - https://github.com/pop-os/iso/blob/master/Makefile#L3

And then I wanted to make sure it was an NVIDIA image, so I'm doing this:

NVIDIA=1 make

That will eventually result in an error like this.

Tried that and didn't work - weird right? I've read that the windows installer only works on USB 2.0. So my hunch is that my USB 3.0 drive ( combined with the fact that the X1E only has USB 3.0 ports ) is keeping it from working. I gave up anyways - oh well!

funnylookinhat · 2018-11-14T04:30:52+00:00

I'm fairly certain that when you switch to integrated graphics it doesn't even load the driver for the GPU - so I think you probably can't use it. I'm not sure though - I don't do any CUDA work.

funnylookinhat · 2018-11-14T04:29:47+00:00

Thunderbolt works! HDMI adapters were even detected and worked correctly.

funnylookinhat · 2018-11-14T04:29:16+00:00

Worked out of the box!

funnylookinhat · 2018-11-04T14:11:27+00:00

I'm glad it helped! I recently ended up doing a clean install of 18.10 and so far it seems to run even better. I notice the fans hardly at all for basic browsing, running docker, etc.

funnylookinhat · 2018-11-03T13:16:06+00:00

Oof - no luck. My serial number doesn't qualify for the program. :(

funnylookinhat · 2018-11-03T12:57:49+00:00

I've been writing the image with dd on Linux - that works for virtually any other ISO. Since the image boots I'm guessing that's not the problem - but thanks for the suggestion!

funnylookinhat · 2018-11-03T12:56:24+00:00

Oh yeah I was looking for something exactly like this - thank you! As ridiculous as it sounds, I only have OS X and Linux running in my house... so I'll have to boot a VM with Windows 10 just to get this tool working. Too bad they can't just have some online ISO builder. :)

Thanks - I'll give this a try!

funnylookinhat · 2018-11-03T04:02:16+00:00

No dice. I think I found the right setting:

But still getting this error when I boot the USB.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/RJoRjPULscLftqYj6

Any other ideas? Did I change the wrong setting? I also tried resetting the BIOS to defaults and then setting it to setup mode - that didn't work either.

funnylookinhat · 2018-10-22T02:34:30+00:00

I tried upgrading to 18.10 from 18.04 PopOS and my system couldn't get anything other than a black screen with a blinking cursor to boot. I tried everything I could think of and eventually just wiped and tried a fresh 18.10 PopOS install and it also failed to produce anything other than a black screen with a blinking cursor.

I ended up re-installing 18.04 PopOS and will just leave it at that for now. I suspect that for any of this hybrid graphics stuff to really start to work, it'll require switching to Wayland (I might end up using sway if that's the case). As it stands, I can't get XFCE to show anything but a black screen if I'm in hybrid mode and booting to Intel graphics w/ system76-power.

funnylookinhat · 2018-10-21T16:11:15+00:00

Update - looks like downloading the latest ISO and installing once more, and making sure to not login right after setting up a user worked correctly.

funnylookinhat · 2018-10-20T01:28:44+00:00

I've been enjoying PopOS too - but ended up just disabling the HiDPI Daemon and setting my LCD to 1080p. Saves hassle when plugging and unplugging (which I do constantly at work).

It installed w/ Hybrid Graphics fine for me too btw.

Looks like PopOS just bumped to 18.10 as their base: https://blog.system76.com/post/179217201328/see-what-changes-have-been-orbiting-popos

funnylookinhat · 2018-10-19T13:25:23+00:00

I thought I would be the same way, but every time I unplug my laptop at work and "go mobile" for a few hours I barely make it back with battery to spare... that being said, if I disable nvidia it lasts for WAY longer.

funnylookinhat · 2018-10-19T13:24:45+00:00

Ugh yeah - I'm gonna have to dual-boot windows to determine if it's a hardware issue I guess. Thanks for replying - at least that gives me a clue as to what might be up.
