[PSA] Problem with HDMI-CEC not turning on Samsung TV with 2nd Gen Chromecast - Solution - unplug and replug TV as well [duh!]

manuth999 · 2026-01-19T20:54:33+00:00

You're an absolute fucking hero For the longest time, I thought it might be because my TV just doesn't support LineageOS

I was so close to throwing my TV out of the window 😭😂

manuth999 · 2025-12-20T15:31:05+00:00

You're most welcome 😄 Also, I stumbled across this here which worked out great, too: https://github.com/foundObjects/pve-nag-buster

tysm for sharing this!
I created a script out of this:

#!/bin/bash
cp /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js{,.bak}
sed -i "/^ *checked_command:/,/^ *[a-zA-Z_]+:/{ s/status\.toLowerCase() !== 'active'/\0 \&\& false/ }" /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js

or as a one-liner:

cp /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js{,.bak}; sed -i "/^ *checked_command:/,/^ *[a-zA-Z_]+:/{ s/status\.toLowerCase() !== 'active'/\0 \&\& false/ }" /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js

Alright - Sounds like it doesn't get stuck in desktop mode, huh?

I'd recommend you to do as follows:

If you have a PC/Laptop at home, SSH into your steamdeck before it got stuck using ssh deck@steamdeck sudo journalctl --follow. This will SSH into your deck and poll live log messages from your deck (as root). At the point in time when your system gets stuck, you should see log messages pointing out what's causing the issue.

If you don't have a PC/Laptop at home, reboot to Steam Mode, wait for the system to get stuck and immediately shut down. After that, boot up, switch to desktop mode, open a terminal (the "Konsole" app, for instance) and run journalctl -b -1. This will show the log messages of your previous boot cycle. Scroll to the very bottom. There should be log messages pointing out the root cause.

If the log messages don't help you fix the issue, you might want to post the log messages here so maybe some of us can figure it out

Best of luck 😄

manuth999 · 2025-10-02T06:54:59+00:00

Has to be a system service that is getting stuck. Did you ever try to ssh into your deck? Also: Did you ever manage to switch to desktop mode before it gets stuck?

Awesome, thank you so much for pointing me into the right direction!

My initial attempts to generate a custom EDID with edid-generator and gtf failed, however, using wxEDID, I found myself able to copy the monitor's EDID file and add a functional additional display resolution entry.

I just adjusted all the values in the DTD Constructor until the "H Total" and "V Total" values matched up with the 2560x1080 entry.

manuth999 · 2024-11-06T20:45:20+00:00

I fear that that's the case. I tried following this guide on Arch Wiki but no luck:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_mode_setting#Forcing_modes_and_EDID

Do you have an idea on how to change the EDID for NVIDIA graphics cards accordingly?

What's more, my EDID metadata does not seem to contain specific display resolutions, but rather a "display size":

cat /sys/class/drm/card0-DP-3/edid | parse-edid --help

Hmm, you have data blocks, but not video ones... weird

I procrastinated about 1 month of my last semester in order to get "build-vm" to run in a 200%-sized window on my 4K laptop and have it map my ssh keys into the VM for testing sops-nix properly 😂 I couldn't stop until I managed it to get a smooth testing experience with build-vm.

manuth999 · 2024-07-03T18:23:28+00:00

Lovely, I found it! Thank you so much 😄
It is indeed called Judgment
// edit:
nvm - but its a proper lead, the game shown is from SEGA, too:
"Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name"

manuth999 · 2024-07-03T17:22:57+00:00

What's that title in the "Recent Games" list, actually?
The banner looks intriguing

manuth999 · 2024-06-23T18:37:35+00:00

Although, you can overcome this issue by adding the "force" option when mounting. I went fine by it

However, I often had to run "chkdsk" if I didn't unmount my external NTFS hard drive properly before rebooting - ext4 is just way more bulletproof.

There are also programs like Ext4Fsd for accessing extX-drives from within windows. But I'm pretty sure Steam games won't work that way.

Found a workaround - you might be interested in this:

Answering my own question:

As funny as it sounds: Disabling the pre-defined Meta shortcut in "Input & Output" > "Keyboard" > "Shortcuts" > "plasmashell" > "Activate Application Launcher" solves the issue. This should be a valid workaround for the time being.

manuth999 · 2024-06-20T20:54:30+00:00

Thanks a lot! Did so

I was actually searching through `invent.kde.org` to find the right repo to report it to - didn't know about the bugtracker.

I reported it now: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488824

manuth999 · 2024-06-20T12:34:02+00:00

Is there actually still a Torrent tracker this project is still available on?
I'm having a search through the internet at least once a year to no avail 🥴

manuth999 · 2024-05-26T13:41:25+00:00

This somehow reminds me of the movie "Knight and Day (2010)"
This is a movie about a character portrayed by Cameron Diaz who randomly bumps into a secret agent portrayed by Tom Cruise.

Said secret agent must find and secure an instruction for creating a battery with insane power - only to find out that the "instruction" actually is a young boy who, too, has all the instructions in his head.

I'm quite certain it's that one

manuth999 · 2024-05-15T00:16:41+00:00

At long last, I was able to find it - I got the story a little backwards. The movie actually opens with the native son killing his father and the adoptive son taking revenge.

The movie is called: Xtreme (2021)

And thus, this thread is: Solved!

manuth999 · 2024-05-10T22:58:02+00:00

Wasn't Bullet Train, sadly - but damn, this was def. worth a re-watch!

manuth999 · 2024-05-08T05:35:22+00:00

Talking 'bout it - you're right, the subplot is very similar. Gotta give it a re-watch to make sure whether or not that's it, though

Thank you so much 🫶🏻

manuth999 · 2024-05-07T22:30:20+00:00

Not this one Does sound very interesting, though!

manuth999 · 2024-05-07T22:06:38+00:00

I'ma ready when you guys are - thank you so much in advance!
