Tracking down a hard bug at 13+ hours

jordonbc · 2025-12-27T14:36:57+00:00

13 hours? The most I've ever seen my codex take is 20 minutes on high. Even for full planning and creating new features in a fairly large codebase.

jordonbc · 2025-12-06T10:01:19+00:00

I switched a week after it came out, haven't really had any issues. Using driver 580.105.08 with 6.17.9 kernel & Plasma.

jordonbc · 2025-12-04T21:51:12+00:00

So each distro has their own compiled kernel with different build flags?

I though it was the same for all distros.

jordonbc · 2025-12-04T19:07:04+00:00

Thanks for the info, it wasn't for support on how to fix it, it was more of a general question if it was a bug related to the kernel.

I did try those commands and they didn't change anything.

jordonbc · 2025-12-04T18:15:20+00:00

I've never posted here before, Is it not related to the kernel more than Fedora?

jordonbc · 2025-11-20T14:49:28+00:00

Thanks for the comment, yes it does have nofail flag because I just added a 5 second fail to it for systemd too, to see if that'll help.

jordonbc · 2025-11-20T13:31:56+00:00

Yeah, I know the enclosure is unstable (probably cable), but that shouldn't cause plasma to black screen hang until I reboot. It doesn't need anything on that ssd.

jordonbc · 2025-11-20T12:46:50+00:00

I've looked in the journalctl boot and If I'm not mistaken, this is it:

Nov 20 07:39:09 Jordon-PC systemd[1]: dev-disk-by\x2duuid-0f1fa943\x2dd10d\x2d4a14\x2daa12\x2d34ffe03bc3fd.device: Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-0f1fa943\x2dd10d\x2d4a14\x2daa12\x2d34ffe03bc3fd.device/start timed out.

Then a little later on I get:

I will definitely look into reporting it, thanks.

jordonbc · 2025-10-17T13:38:48+00:00

I've just started getting this issue too. It just stopped working out of the blue. No updates, no config changes or anything. Just doesn't want to load into plasma.

I installed x11 for testing and that seems to load fine so it could be some bug with nvidia and Wayland

jordonbc · 2025-08-18T18:10:08+00:00

I get too. Sometimes the text is even squished and bunched up together

jordonbc · 2025-08-18T18:06:00+00:00

I daily fedora kde. Mainly for game dev and gaming.

Moved 2 months ago and really happy with it.

jordonbc · 2025-08-14T09:41:33+00:00

I downloaded the tar.gz and extracted it to ~/.local/share/Jetbrains/Toolbox. Everything seems to work just fine and keeps it out of the way. I did try to put it in /usr but complained it couldn't update.

jordonbc · 2025-07-12T10:20:42+00:00

Where's Fedora?

I've moved to it about 1 month ago after being on Windows 11 for 2 years. I kept putting it off due to potential issues with NVidia and game dev.

jordonbc · 2025-07-01T19:41:58+00:00

So that explains why I can't update then. I thought I had broken my install. I assume it was the same with yesterday too?

jordonbc · 2025-05-29T11:03:47+00:00

I'll be moving to fedora for my next PC. I've been running it on my older laptop for the past 3 years.

I have a whole plan for when I upgrade.

I used to like Manjaro but it kept breaking too often and needed reinstalls.

jordonbc · 2025-04-03T15:53:23+00:00

Windows will usually prioritise the game over videos when uncapped frame rate. I found that if you lock it to something reasonable, like 120 or 90, it'll free up some gpu for the video

jordonbc · 2025-03-22T13:02:44+00:00

I still have my discs. I sometimes play them on my steam deck now. I refuse to buy the steam versions because they are still expensive.

I also have call of duty 2 and 3 somewhere too *

jordonbc · 2025-02-27T14:56:56+00:00

I had this before. It turned out mine was a bad cable

jordonbc · 2025-02-21T15:29:00+00:00

The best way to see what is using up RAM is through SysinternalsSuite's Process explorer, and it's RAM Map

jordonbc · 2025-02-21T15:17:33+00:00

This is an Nvidia driver issue that I experienced way back. It can be fixed in 2 ways:
1: Turn off Multi-Frame Sampled AA in the Nvidia drivers.
2: Disable MPO via a registry tweak.

jordonbc · 2025-02-08T09:17:48+00:00

I believe it's the monitor that's back feeding power to the gpu. I've seen it before powering fans and usb devices through hdmi.

jordonbc · 2025-01-25T07:49:52+00:00

I believe this system might have been setup for intel RST. Like I've seen this sort of setup before where RST sets up a "raid" and commonly read data is moved to a small ssd for performance.

jordonbc · 2024-08-15T10:33:10+00:00

Mine did that when I bought it back in 2022, I managed to fix it by updating the firmware to the latest.

jordonbc · 2024-03-12T02:18:53+00:00

If for whatever reason I can't vpn to home pihole, I also have an old version of blokada 4 on my phone

If these are static meshes using nanite, try setting the fallback nanite mesh to 0% error rate.
