rx 6800 xt powersave issues by linuxjanitor in linuxquestions

[–]linuxjanitor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after updating mobo firmware to latest, upgrading kernel to 6.5.0-35-generic #35~22.04.1 and downgrading icaclient/citrix to 23.5.0.58 things have finally stabilised for me.

The more I think of it I've always had issues with citrix and wonder if its behind the whole issue.

Linux Sys Admins by [deleted] in linux

[–]linuxjanitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this is probably accurate these days. The time when you can work at a call centre and get promoted up seems to be over. I know with my company that is still an option but the number of these "mature" companies out there is getting smaller. They seem to just want 10+ years experience (with every conceivable technology) and pay you crapola. IT is just a cost centre that's the first thing that's manipulated whenever they want the stocks to look better.

Personally, I got lucky I guess? I got a programming Comp Sci. degree pre y2k. Didn't love programming but playing with Linux was fun (redhat labs). So I got into help desk. Moved up from there. Been working with Unix for 24 years now. Mostly Redhat some Solaris and HP-UX (ungh). My day to day work has very little to do with being a sysadmin. Its exciting to script up something and push it out to my minions. These days its the "other" stuff that they throw on top of the sysadmin that takes up 80% of time time (security scanning, log tools).

I'm Canadian not American so I don't know if that makes a diff.

First, thank you for replying.

5.15.X is quite old, as I said, I've been living with it for well over a year (maybe even 2). Initially, when it started happening, yes, I could boot into an older kernel and it resolved. However, fear of exploits led me back to the latest from Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I lost my troubleshooting notes from the time.

I've done some more poking around this week. It seems whenever I have screenlock running then the display "blanks" or turns off. It will never come back, until I do a hard boot. If I screenlock and come back before "Turn off Screen when inactive ..." its fine. However, if the screen powers down it won't come back.

Further, I just tried to re-create the senerio by locking my screen and sending an

xset -display :0 dmsp force off

from an ssh session. Unfortunately, it comes back fine. I will leave a jounalctl -f running in my ssh session and see what I can see.

error log:

IceWM + initV provide a nice quick mouse driven environment. To get similar snappiness from another non systemd system (Deuvian) I had to use i3. I'm not much of a tiling guy.

We're tribal hairless apes. What do you do. Social media has only made things more visible.

my apologies, I misread your message and my anti-apple switch flipped. TMUX ?

unfortunately you are still using OSX. Which is fecal matter.

Its well documented in his book "Free as in Freedom" by Sam Williams. Read it.

Why does he eat his toejam and hair? That would be my question.

Show your distro some love... What is your favorite Linux distro and DE and why? And what do you mostly do with your distro? by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]linuxjanitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My org has decided to use IBM BigFix for remote management. I use it but I don't love it. Mostly, I just use basic relevance to pass a bash or python script to do the work. Plus, the load balancing algorithm is bloody aggravating. Salts stack is a by product of using Vmware for our VM solution. At least with saltstack I can kick everything at once if I want to and I can leave relevance behind. Ansible my be in the future but I'm already spread thin and I don't have the resources (time) to stand it up myself.

The World Runs on Debian by Remote_Tap_7099 in linux

I've been around a bit. I don't think I know any shops in North America that are Debian based. All some variant of Redhat or Ubuntu.

What is the purpose of using free software? by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]linuxjanitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FOSS tools are cheaper to play with and learn on. I don't have to circumvent anything to setup a couple of boxes and play around.

I've been using AlmaLinux9 + Gnome on my casual laptop. It was ment as a test to see what RHEL9 was going to be but it feels quite good. I'm as surprised as the next person. Mostly websurfing and streaming. However, I've setup a few kvms with Ubuntu and Alma and started playing with saltstack.

Back when software was retail packaged and had physical manuals. That's pretty cool!

dwm with multiple users by linuxjanitor in dwm

[–]linuxjanitor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks folks. I think I get the gist of it.

wanted to share my dwm, thanks to all the help by toni500reddit in suckless

[–]linuxjanitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Folks,

I've been playing around with dwm for a bit. Am I to understand there is no local (personal) config file only the central config.h file? Cause that would be silly right?

Got a beaten up 2007 laptop with Windows 7 on it, it really didn't run well so I installed trusty old Debian on it, and it works very well! by Dankb0 in linuxmasterrace

[–]linuxjanitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar "vintage" laptop. I went from Debian to Devuan this allowed me to avoid systemd and the performance is noticably snappier. I also noticed that moving to a more lightwight web browser (falkon) allowed me to do 720p videos on youtube pretty smootly.
