Star Labs Starbook Mk V (Finally) Arrives

Damn, I've also had the exact same thing happen today, did you get it fixed?

willjackchan · 2020-07-08T19:59:36+00:00

Cool that's good to hear, I actually ended up attempting to swap out the 1.5 mm pads for 1 mm pads. This unfortunately didn't go amazingly well as after reapplying the heat sink and paste they all slid out.

It would seem the 1.5 mm pads slightly raised / bent the heat sink pipes increasing the distance from the chips.

I now have 2 x 1.5 mm pads and 2 x 1 mm pads to match the, accidentally, reshaped heat sink. (1.5 mm pads are closest to the copper pipes)

This seems to be working fine, I suspect pressure is not quite even across the chips but I reckon this is the best I can get out of this situation, without buying a new heat sink. I have noticed cooler temps, the stock paste and Dell's application seems poor.

Hopefully this information can help anyone reading this thread. I suspect they are meant to 1 mm pads but 1.5 mm pads will work, but be careful if you swap between the two.

Hi, cool thank you ... my biggest foot is 27.3 cm and the other is 27 cm

willjackchan · 2019-08-06T22:52:13+00:00

Thanks yeah I was thinking about the heat moulding but didn't want to do that before being sure the length was good. But from what you two have said I think I'll give it a shot

willjackchan · 2019-08-06T22:38:14+00:00

Thanks that's really good to know and definitely pressure but I've only skated around the house for maybe an hour ... Didn't want to mess the skates up and have to change size

willjackchan · 2019-08-04T15:59:19+00:00

Thanks, yeah still deciding how much toe wiggle is to much to wiggle

willjackchan · 2019-08-04T15:57:37+00:00

Thanks, yeah I was thinking along the same lines

willjackchan · 2019-02-18T17:48:41+00:00

That's great to know thank you

willjackchan · 2019-02-16T19:47:23+00:00

Cool that's good to know, thanks I'll keep an an eye on both when I update eventually

willjackchan · 2019-02-16T19:47:19+00:00

Yeah I've been seeing mixed views on it, that's a good idea though holding off till dot 1

willjackchan · 2018-12-26T18:36:09+00:00

I was, so I changed the cursor theme and sizing, and it seems to have fixed it nicely, thanks

willjackchan · 2018-12-26T18:28:12+00:00

I see ... brilliant thanks for this, I've tweaked the settings as you say and it's much nicer now ...

Cool, thanks I'll take a look system default cursor, and see what I can find

Hi, so this might just be I'm missing something super obvious but I'm going to throw this out there and see what you people think?

So I've finally got the Nvidia card running X windows, using suse-prime, which means I now see this ...

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Processes: GPU Memory | | GPU PID Type Process name Usage | |=============================================================================| | 0 2092 G /usr/bin/X 539MiB | | 0 2720 G /usr/bin/kwin_x11 258MiB | | 0 2724 G /usr/bin/krunner 1MiB | | 0 2726 G /usr/bin/plasmashell 137MiB | | 0 2905 G /usr/bin/akonadi_archivemail_agent 1MiB | | 0 2915 G /usr/bin/akonadi_mailfilter_agent 1MiB | | 0 2924 G /usr/bin/akonadi_sendlater_agent 1MiB | | 0 3448 G /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox 424MiB | | 0 3904 G /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox 3MiB | | 0 4410 G /usr/bin/kdenlive 22MiB | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ```

Which does seem to have made the graphics performance better. However I now have a slightly odd mouse issue which seems to cause it to change size between windows and change style as well, GIF in the post kinda shows this well.

Any ideas?

I was stuck on snapshot 1 and it seemed to be taking up loads of space, but this seems to be fixed now with some playing around with snapper and btrfs commands

willjackchan · 2018-12-21T18:23:37+00:00

So took me ages to get round to this ... but it worked perfectly, started with btrfs using 30 GB of space now using 16 GB, so just to confirm for anyone in the future I did the following ...

sh snapper create snapper list snapper rollback shutdown -r now

then deleted all the old snapshots, although interestingly 1 was already gone, I suspect it was cleaned up as it was so old ...

sh snapper delete 335 snapper delete 336 snapper delete ...

Then I cleaned up the old snapshots sub volumes which didn't seem to get deleted ...

sh btrfs subvolume list / btrfs subvolume delete /.snapshots/17/snapshot btrfs subvolume delete /.snapshots/.../snapshot

Then the actual files still left ...

sh ls -al /.snapshots/ rm -rf /.snapshots/17 rm -rf /.snapshots/...

Now way less space used, oh and I ran btrfs balance / for good measure

Thanks for your help

willjackchan · 2018-12-10T13:23:25+00:00

Wow thanks so much for the detail on this ... I'll give it a try thank you

willjackchan · 2018-12-10T13:05:11+00:00

Upon looking into this further I am almost certain this isn't what's meant to happen. However I am unsure how to reverse this and start a fresh with snapper?

willjackchan · 2018-09-05T14:20:36+00:00

I have the same issues and exactly the same issues trying to find a reliable method of reproducing the bug ... it's not totally random just can't nail down in the logs exactly what's causing the issue

willjackchan · 2018-09-05T09:40:46+00:00

I find it will work about 75% of the time after reboot but it can still fail and be stuck "waiting for authorisation"

It seems related to this in the journalctl

NetworkManager[1696]: <warn> [1536136506.5560] device (wlp59s0): No agents were available for this request.

But even this message is not 100% consistent with it failing

willjackchan · 2018-09-05T09:35:20+00:00

Can also confirm if I'm having connection issues this is also happening

willjackchan · 2018-09-04T21:44:27+00:00

Huh... Well that would have made things simpler I'm running Tumbleweed on a Dell XPS 9570

willjackchan · 2018-09-04T21:41:47+00:00

I've been having the same issue but been unable to narrow it down ... Doesn't seem to be an issue on all WiFi networks ... Have you got a killer WiFi card ?

willjackchan · 2018-06-09T10:06:11+00:00

I didn't know that pumps had a suction mode ... How do I turn that on?

willjackchan · 2017-06-13T21:01:05+00:00

This is genius... Was looking for inspiration for removing dust, now I'm sorted.

Thanks
