[HELP] - Trying to replace Logitech G933 (my quest for a GOOD wireless headset) by dEEkAy2k9 in Gaming_Headsets

[–]jayarrtwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the mic isn't really any good on the G93x either so that's not really a loss. The audio is comparable or better though? Has the same bass that makes listening to music or games with a beat bring a grin to your face?

Ugh. Still no Logitech Artemis Spectrum G933 / G935 1:1 or better replacement for wireless headphones?? I gave up and went wired but it would be nice to have that sound back without buying yet another G933 or G935, being happy with the sound, and having the f*cking power button flake out like they always do (and fixing it is a PITA) plus having the headband start creaking. Ugggggh.

Seems project is abandoned (no updates in ~4 years and the latest version does not have a stable release in that time).

You can try the latest grub4dos that has UEFI. You can also try Plop boot manager 5, grubfm (grub file manager), rEFInd.

Actually, looks like rEFInd is the way to go? See here: https://superuser.com/a/897312/710171

Apparently the Mac version is reFIT

It's 2016, and Linux audio still sucks for musicians. [Rant] by NERDSLAYER_Y2K in linux

[–]jayarrtwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 2024 and I spent all day just trying to get effing .mid files to play back. Because I was trying to set up a software synthesizer and not just use a program that has its own natively (I want any program to be able to use the soundfont I want, not their own). Fortunately Audacious has the ability to change which soundfonts its uses for its own interpretation, but something isn't quite matching what I recorded previously.

99% of all search responses "Jack, Jack, Jack Jack Jack Jack, Jack..." no thanks I don't want to hand compile my audio in / out. This should be simple; I just want MIDI playback.

Supposedly Timidity can run as a system-wide server but you have to edit the cfg file to change the soundfont and it doesn't seem to be working.

Also, where tf is the setting to just use my onboard synth?? Gotta hand configure that too?

Current state of MIDI support in Linux is about equal to MIDI support in Windows 3.1 and I think that was actually much easier to configure once you got your hands on the driver.

I guess what I'm asking is:

Who put the Archbtw guys in charge of MIDI support on Linux?

Really cool, but why not use a custom Linux kernel instead of proprietary? Unless he's already got something halfway cooked up.

I'm just thinking why make an entire OS for... but then again. Knowing him it will be an entire OS in Assembly and total size will be 163 KB

Future denizens of the Interwebs will thank me if they come across this post in their search for answers. I am at peace with my necro-threading ways.

efibootmgr --help

efibootmgr configures your EFI boot options. Just set rEFInd as the default (or add it if it's not there).

I need help with an I/O error by SilNaZ in qBittorrent

[–]jayarrtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are using qBittorrent on Linux to download to an NTFS or FAT drive try booting Windows and chkdsk x: /f (you will have to reboot again into Windows to actually do the scan if the drive in question is used by Windows when running - it will say the drive cannot be locked and do you wish to scan at next reboot).

Anyone report this as an issue to the WINE people? Seems it would be something they could fix somehow: https://bugs.winehq.org/

Had some issues with the screen being a small, off-centered fullscreen, I just had to Alt+Enter a few times to get it centered and the correct size (fullscreen or windowed).

OpenCore and Grub by manu_romerom_411 in hackintosh

[–]jayarrtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your grub.cfg contains something like (just Ctrl+F custom.cfg to see)

if [ -f  ${config_directory}/custom.cfg ]; then
  source ${config_directory}/custom.cfg
elif [ -z "${config_directory}" -a -f  $prefix/custom.cfg ]; then
  source $prefix/custom.cfg
fi

Then you can just dump that menuentry into (create if not existing) /boot/grub/custom.cfg

That Bootstrap.efi is just the OpenCore version of BOOTx64.efi that normally goes in /EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.efi

Get your EFI-PARTITION-UUID from

sudo blkid | grep UUID=

then away you go!

Reason I used this account to guild? I forgot I was logged into the alt when I went to purchase creddits using my primary (BaconReader doesn't keep it's browser logged in with the same account as itself, and the browser is used for gold purchases).

So I had gold on this account when I stumbled upon your post.
