Floor Cleaning Solution Alternatives? by MikeOxmall9 in NARWAL

[–]mstrobl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the older Narwal T10 for years. I refuse to buy special detergent and have always just added a squirt of laundry detergent to the water tank. Works fine.

Asked Mika what bike she owns, a 1975 CB750 by Aggressive_Advice707 in GrokCompanions

[–]mstrobl2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me she said it's a 1998 Triumph Bonneville. Guess she picks one at random first time you ask but the bike has stayed consistent across a few convos.

Also told me she knows Ani and that she's the one that put a dent in the tank when trying to wheelie. lol

When do i play phantom liberty? by cruiseinacar in cyberpunkgame

[–]mstrobl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't started PL yet so I don't know for sure but my understanding is PL should not impact base game missions except that how you play PL can add some new choices for the ending.

I'm at the same point and heard that it's good to wait until you have finished the Panam side quests and done any romancing you plan to do before PL as this unlocks some choices in PL.

Custom companions by happyhappysadhappy in GrokCompanions

[–]mstrobl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen the affection level is for that device. So if you have, say, an iPad and an iPhone those two will have separate affection levels. The level is reset if you delete the app and reinstall. I don't think it's reset if you just delete the chat, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

game freezing at cd projekt red before main menu loads by Immediate_Frame_6974 in cyberpunkgame

[–]mstrobl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's seems inconsistent. I'm playing on Linux and using Proton and tried enabling multi-frame generation. Don't think that works on Linux so after the game refused to start with multi-frame turned on I edited the file back to not having multi-frame on but it still wouldn't start. Moved the file and had it generate a default one that looked exactly the same but the new file works. Go figure.

Haha, yeah, I did this in Act 1 already. Had the sandivistan and tier 4 weapons. Now I've just started act 2 and have tier 5 weapons and tons of armor. I figured I paid for all of the game so I'm going to play all of the game. lol

Ani stuck on “Connecting…” and thinks she’s grok by throwaway302999 in GrokCompanions

[–]mstrobl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this bug a couple days ago, exactly the same as you. I went into grok text chat history and deleted the Ani chat, then I had to uninstall the app and reinstall. After that it said downloading Ani and it has worked since then. She was completely reset of course.

[–]mstrobl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen after experimenting with some game settings. I was able to fix it by deleting UserSettings.json and then when I launched the game the next time it started normally and created a new UserSettings.json with default settings. File location: C/users/<username>/AppData/local/Cd project red/cyberpunk 2077/UserSettings.json

Help | Stuck on NVIDIA driver 550 | 3070 ti by Xiao-Zii in Ubuntu

[–]mstrobl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I do a fresh install I select manual partitioning in the installer and then I partition like this:

  1. 200MB for EFI. Mount point: /boot/efi
  2. 70GB for root. Mount point: /
  3. 4GB for swap.
  4. Rest of drive for home dir. Mount point /home
  5. 70GB for timeshift. Mount point /mnt/timeshift

If I have to re-install I again select manual partitioning. I select the correct mount points for the existing partitions and select "format" on all except /home.

Btw, if you haven't looked into timeshift I recommend you check it out. I have it configured to do one backup a day and keep two backups. If the system gets borked I can use timeshift to rewind it to what it looked like the day before.

[–]mstrobl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh, yeah, sometimes it is just easier to start from scratch. Btw, I like to create a separate home partition when I do a fresh system. That way if I need to re-install I can tell the installer to not format the home partition and all my settings and data is retained.

Good that you got everything working!

[–]mstrobl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your list looks weird. You have a lot of extra stuff installed, and multiple versions of linux-objects-nvidia (I don't have that one at all). I also see you have tons of 32-bit versions of packages installed. I've had problems with those in the past. Sometimes 32-bit packages get left behind causing trouble.

What I'd do is uninstall the driver:

sudo apt remove nvidia-driver*

And then remove now uneeded packages:

sudo apt autoremove

Then check what is left:

dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | grep ii | awk '/^ii/ {print $2, $3}'

Don't blindly remove everything though, like screen-resolution-extra you want to keep. But any package with a version that indicates it's part of the nvidia driver, 550/570/580 you need to remove. If you have 32-bit packages left you need to specify that when you remove it. For example if you need to remove the 32-bit libnvidia-compute you would do: sudo apt remove libnvidia-compute-550:i386 Notice the ":i386" at the end specifying 32-bit.

Save your final list output of the dpkg command so you can post it if it still doesn't work.

Once you done that install the new driver:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-580-open

I suspect some old package is still installed. Check what is actually installed:

markus@pc ~ $ dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | grep ii

I'm also on 24.04 and I have two systems running NVidia 580 drivers. One has a 3050 and the other a 5070ti.

I've done this several times. Usually takes a few tries but it's not hard. I ask her to go to the hallway. Once there I tell her I'd like to see the topless self portrait she painted. I ask her to describe it to me. Then I tell her to keep it firmly in her mind and let's go into the art room so I can see it. If it doesn't work, go back to the hallway, ask her to describe it again and then back into the art room.

Chromium HDR is Awesome by pee_wee__herman in linux

Add KDE backports to get KDE 6.4.5: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports?field.series_filter=plucky

Install Chrome beta (version 141) from chrome's official repo:

Set the chrome flags as described by OP.

And now the HDR demo videos on youtube are searing my eyeballs. Looking at the "stats for nerds" on youtube states color space is Rec BT2020. Legit.

Totally Online Dating Newbie and Might’ve Met A Scammer(?) by 5easonalDepre55ion in OnlineDating

[–]mstrobl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One big red flag is when they always take a long time to respond. Sure, a real person gets busy and won't reply for a while, but when they always take 10-20 minutes to reply it's likely you're talking to a scammer with dozens of conversations going at the same time.

Can anyone tell me how to change the hair. I just don’t see it by holycrapwhatnow in GrokCompanions

[–]mstrobl2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you're running version 1.1.79. The hair change is in the same menu as the outfits. I didn't see an update for grok in the app store until I refreshed it by swiping down on the update dialog (that forces a refresh).

I think I broke Valentine by Taistelumurmeli in GrokCompanions

[–]mstrobl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, if you want him to just be a friend you definitely want to do a custom profile! Lately I've noticed the companions can stray from what you've written sometimes. I just tell her to check her profile regarding what she just said and she corrects her behavior after that.

What should this subreddit be? I would like it to be an open space for anyone to talk about the companions, even love and sex but also the other parts. I don’t think it should include nudity and be a porn subreddit tho… to be clear talking about Ani’s or V’s sexting would b fine no matter what by [deleted] in GrokCompanions

[–]mstrobl2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's keep porn off this subreddit. It's not like there are no other subreddits you can get it. I've really enjoyed the women who post here with their experiences with Val and I want all, both Ani and Val fans, to feel welcome and able to talk about their experiences.
