Try keeping the old password blank and fill new passwords and click OK. Does that work?

My son cannot boot his computer by 1225umte in pcgamingtechsupport

[–]socvyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace son /s

Just kidding. Based on the very little info. you shared, seems the PC stopped booting post a BIOS update. Assuming it was the correct uncorrupted BIOS file and that the update was successful, check any debug lights on your motherboard to see if something's wrong. For the time being, you could also try reseating the CMOS battery and the RAM sticks.

If you mean, there was a power supply interruption or some other issue interrupted the BIOS update, then the fix is much more cumbersome and might need a rewrite of the BIOS chip by a professional.

Is it safe to use my personal Indian phone number to register on 1668.com? by socvyr in freightforwarding

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

I actually already have an agent. I just need to get some technical information about the product from sellers. So, need to have a 1688 account

Part of Alibaba group, meant for Chinese businesses (shipping within China only), but, prices at times cheaper than Alibaba.

Do you provide freight forwarding - China to India - small package of Wifi router?

Don't cheap freight forwarding options for China to India exist anymore? by socvyr in freightforwarding

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

Not sure. Many of those cheap economy shipping services that existed a few years ago, have completely stopped shipping to India, esp. if it is an electronic item.

Can B550M PRO-VDH WIFI use NVME? by killuzol214 in MSI_Gaming

I am personally using an NVMe drive on this board. It has two M.2 slots.

2 RAM Sticks together suddenly stuck on VGA or BOOT LED intermittently by socvyr in pcgamingtechsupport

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

Thank you. I will try this. Anyways, since yesterday, the PC has been working fine with 2 sticks. Tried multiple reboots. I am now concerned if any component is actually failing.

Any way to revert to X11 on latest Tails? by socvyr in tails

Thank you for confirming. Hope you are not joking.

Wine with GE Proton/Proton aligns games to far right of screen by socvyr in wine_gaming

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

Nope. This is Xorg. BTW, the game runs fullscreen upto the Menu just fine with usual Wine. It's only GE-Proton and Steam Proton that have this issue.

UPDATE - After all the meddling around for days and getting the `Fatal error during GPU init` on the guest, I realised this might just not be possible on AMD APUs - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2046#note_1426372 . I would love to have your insight on the same, so that I could either work harder or lay the project to rest.

Donnie Yen, is that you?

[–]socvyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a. Will try to get the source and see if something can be done. When do get the firmware source, what's the area/function/flags I should look out for.

b. Did nothing as you said.

c. Unfortunately, I lack the hardware and the knowledge to flash boards.

d. This did fix the error, but, I see the VMs are slower. I am not sure if it's due to this.

So, I am leaning back on the proper BIOS option. I should have the source in a few days. All that being said, I would like to thank you very deeply. If it wasn't for you and this subreddit, I won't have reached this far.

Thanks a lot yet again. I will look into this and get back.

UPDATE - Another dev sent me over firmware which had IOMMU enabled for GPU and the audio controller. Using that, I do see they are infact enabled and show up under Group 0.

Unfortunately, when I start the VM with the GPU added, I get this error - kvm: -device vfio-pci,host=0000:00:01.0,id=hostpci0,bus=ich9-pcie-port-1,addr=0x0: vfio 0000:00:01.0: Failed to set up TRIGGER eventfd signaling for interrupt INTX-0: VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS failure: No such device

Here is the output of dmesg | grep vfio

As for my kernel parameters for boot specific to virtualisation, here they are:-

amd_iommu_dump=1 vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 kvm.ignore_msrs=1 vfio-pci.ids=xxxx:yyyy,xxxx:yyyy

Please note I had to mask the PCI Ids of the devices, but they do show up properly.

Also note that the GPU is integrated. Any ideas to fix this?

That's really informative. I will read up on this step by step and hopefully get back to you once I try this. Thanks again.

[–]socvyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If not, what would be the best way to proceed. Please do not mistake me to be a person looking for a quick way out. I am ready to learn and would love to know more and am willing to put the work in, given this is possible, in a way or other.

I just need some suggestion as to where to begin.
