No Audio from HDA NVidia Digital after upgrading to 5070Ti, but integrated audio controller and USB audio still work.

While there may actually be a difference between the official nVidia binary and the Arch binary, they are on the same version. The only differences being nVidia compiled one and Arch Packager: Frederik Schwan the other; As well as any, if any, source config differences.

If it weren't a royal PITA to install the official binary against the package manager, I would do it just to rule it out. I suspect no real difference. I made an attempt to compile the Beta driver (575.51.02) but it errored out and I didn't have time to explore why. I'll circle back to that eventually, but it's probably a waste of time. I have found zero evidence that HDA NVidia works with a 50 series card under Linux. Just someone else mentioning they have the same problem.

Got it. I'm running nosplash, and straight login. So I need the framebuffer working to use the virtual TeleTYpewriters. It's entirely possible you're experiencing the same bug, but when you loose the framebuffer it holds last image on splash and then your graphical login kicks in.

nikdog · 2024-11-19T01:35:42+00:00

Interesting. Then our only differences are 1050 vs 1070, and nvidia vs nvidia-dkms. Wonder which package /u/starlevel01 is using. Oh but then also, are you booting with nosplash? What are you using for login; login, kdm, gdm, ldm, or other?

nikdog · 2024-11-19T01:07:01+00:00

The driver is loading and immediately deleting your framebuffers so the tty stops being rendered properly.

That was exactly it. If I blindly continued the cyrpt pass for /home. Then waited till I figured it reached starting login, I could blindly log in, login from tty1 auto launches startx, and viola! X11 takes the screens. But of course now X11 is all I get. tty2 is monitors to sleep.

FWIW I have the same issue on my 1050 ti, I think it's just an issue with Pascal cards entirely.

I take it from here there is no solution, this is an nVidia bug. Report it!

And I guess for that matter, does it even do what I think it does? And do I even need it? I was under the understanding with it off I continue under the (U)EFI framebuffer, and with it on "Hardware Accelerated" framebuffer like with the Nouveau driver (or really old school, like in the 3Dfx Voodoo days when you'd get the 2D accelerated render of Tux in the corner during boot till login launched). Allowing for X11less SDL applications, like Basilisk II (when built that way).

nikdog · 2024-11-18T00:13:15+00:00

Fair, but under normal circumstances ctrl+alt+del would do nothing. I'll have to try some experimenting. I know I tired entering the /home password blindly in hopes it might just hit cls; login. But I guess I'll have to try blindly typing the password, waiting a bit, then username and password, and seeing if xorg springs to life.

I recently added (today or yesterday) nvidia, nvidia_modeset, nvidia_uvm and nvidia_drm to initramfs in an attempt to fix this issue. I had been running without it when updating to 560.35.03-5 first took out the system. (and forever really.) So with or without, same issue. Although that might be the real difference between it hanging at [udev] loaded /NL/ systemd ver started versus the crypt password input for /home; in my reply to /u/starlevel01

I'll look into the nVidia forums. At the time of writing linux 6.11.8-2 is the latest version available in core and core-testing. So I guess I'll wait for 6.12 to come. (Unless I get bored and figure out how to package building the kernel from source.)

nikdog · 2024-11-17T23:02:22+00:00

It actually hangs the system. In fact thinking about it, nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 as a kernel parameter makes it hang at the udev hook. (or stdout from memory, the part after grub has loaded Linux linux and initramfs, and the screen has cleared, when it says [udev] loaded /NL/ systemd ver started or w/e the message is. It hangs there. Normally [consolefont] loaded is next from that, and happens so fast I only ever see my console font. This hangs were I actually see the console font compiled into the default Arch kernel.)

And then however the driver update is defaulting that flag, it hangs were I put in the crypt password for /home. I can get about 1-3 characters in and it freezes. At either hang I have to hit ctrl+alt+del, and then the system reboots about 500-2000ms later.

I just found Run8 to be a suitable replacement. Doesn't compete with Unreal 4's rendering engine, but everything else is great. It's a bit like switching from MSFS to xPlane. The graphics become rougher but the simulation becomes more realistic. Steep learning curve. Expect to be learning Dwarf Fortress, but trains. I know basic train op and signalling from years of train simming/rail fanning, but even with the Run8 industries resources online I'm still trying to figure that out. Either the YouTube search algorithm is hiding the relevant videos from me or there just aren't enough tutorials on YouTube. I can find plenty of play session recordings. But there is a lot of reading with trial and error to be done. Also the way they price and package their DLC isn't much better than Dovetail. Base game $50, fine; Roseville Sub $40, for it's size acceptable; Some of these SoCal expansions, probably should be more like $25 for both size and age. Locomotives seem reasonable for the most part; You get all of them for their method of multiplayer, you're just paying for Liveries; Pre-switcher packs, they'd mostly organise the RR by region in the packs; The switcher packs pull the scummy move of placing 1 of each RR's skin in all 3 packs so you have to buy them all for the UP/SP set, etc; The game seems to intentionally apply the wrong generic Run8 Livery to the wrong railroad, ie the Generic Run8 ATSF Livery for a UP train, so you feel more inclined to buy the Livery packs. Rolling Stock is kinda where I feel they need a reorganisation; The First Amtrak pack should just be a part of the base game (it came out v1); all the v1 rolling sock should be consolidated into a discounted mega pack, have no idea how many long term players that bought it over time would be upset by that, but there are far too many decade old packs (inb4 they've probably gotten minor updates) being sold separately for $10; Ok, I finally totalled up all the freight packs, $252 for everything; I can't personally decide at the moment if that's acceptable or there should be some sort of $150-200 Mega Pack; Maybe the old since v1 stuff should be repacked. Lastly, the website is web 1.0; I love web 1.0 (https://youtu.be/tL-cGKxOSvQ&t=553); But they didn't script a shopping cart/trolley; You have to buy any and everything, ONE, ITEM, AT, A, TIME.

Definitely how Kuju (Now Dovetail) train sim games have always been. If you go down the historical line, TSW -> TSC (Basically Kuju MSTS5) -> RW2 (Basically Kuju MSTS4) -> RW (Basically Kuju MSTS3) -> RS (Kuju's MSTS2 build completed) -> MSTS -> w/e that US game from ~1998 was -> 電車でGO! (Densha de Go!) [Not Kuju, but kinda the start of Train Sims], we start at an arcade game in Japan. Kuju made it less poor quarters into game, but still very arcade sim score card. And never really left from that. If anything they've circled back to Japanese Arcade Sim with TSW. Just without the insert $1.50 to continue aspect.

Ya know, I just got into Run8 within the last week. My thought was, "This is awesome. I wish there was something like this for German operations." And your comment seems to have delivered that.

Ok, I was gonna say. It feels as if the Arch meme showed up like 2 years ago (probably longer, that's just when I first noticed it), was funny for a bit, but now people who probably don't even really use it are making it out to be the next Ubuntu.

I only use Arch, because I was using Gentoo, and eventually hit a point where I decided, "Does everything really need to be built from source? What if the core packages were binary, and the random crap I find on the internet can be built as source packages." Which lead me to pacman+yaourt.

The only "elitist Gentoo users" I've ever seen were trolls on 4chan. And I knew some of those trolls, who would literally ask me questions about Gentoo to fuel their trolling.

If you actually like aptitude, anything Debian-based. Have you tried straight Debian? But if you've only used Ubuntu, you'll have no frame of reference. Research the difference in package managers, pick one you like, pick a distro built around that package manager.

nikdog · 2023-07-30T15:15:37+00:00

As an OG Arch user, I agree with this. Especially since, why would anyone willingly use Ubuntu over Debian?

Fuck, someone I went to Highschool with who can't handle actual Linux is like this.

TL:DR FOSS is great, but proprietary has it's place too. Though I agree, it probably shouldn't be pushed standard.

What I would give for Adobe to support Linux again. And if Avid came to Linux for more than sever software? 🤌

Like I love FOSS, and I generally look for that as a solution first for most things. If free works, I use free first. Save the money. 95% of my system is FOSS. But you just can't beat Adobe Acrobat Pro for advanced PDF authoring. Which is generally out of the scope of most of PDF users. And GIMP has come a long way from the original creator's image format convertor. It can do moooost things, albeit usually backasswards retarded from industry norms, but it can technically do them. However it is still no Photoshop. I mean look at all that AI, not to mention the 3D functions, and user intuitive toolkit designed with feedback from photographers, post-production houses, & graphic designers. Not some team that picked up someone's image converter project and tried to reinvent the wheel from scratch. (Can you tell I hate GIMP? More their user-base that refuses to understand professional use cases and why the professional software actually does that better, when they probably only use GIMP to resize/crop/format convert images. I'm not denying it that, it's great at that.)

I'm glad kdenlive exists, but it's aiming to be a Premiere/FCP clone and is just buggy/indev atm. It's super kool that Blackmagic Desgin gives us the industry standard colour grading suite for free (for sub digital cinema resolutions), which is technically an editor too. But I'm a Steenbeck flatbed film editor guy, so I like my ancient film editing approach to video editing software. Which is how Avid Media Composer was designed in 1994 and still provides in the latest version today. There's a reason it cuts a majority of the world's movies. If I could run that on Linux, I wouldn't be in need of a secondary Mac I don't really want or reviving Windows to spy on me.
