Windows 11. We installed a printer driver and unchecked “Restart my computer now”. It attempted to restart anyway, with Windows offering to either close all programs and restart, or cancel. I clicked cancel. It restarted anyway. Nothing was lost, but still… 🤦
Only the hashes? Supermicro must have upped their game. You used to be able to get them to spit out their IPMI passwords in plaintext.
We cannot let Microsoft have a monopoly… on sabotaging Microsoft.
We might need some new tech instead of shrinking existing tech.
I had heard that Ubuntu is an old African word for “can’t configure Debian”
You said Ubuntu three times. /s
AUR is supposed the last resort, after distro repos, building from source, Flatpak, and Appimage. Ubuntu’s equivalent to the AUR would be PPAs.
Personally, I have fewer problems gaming on Arch than any other I’ve tried.
Edit: Snap is bad for software freedom. I won’t touch Ubuntu anymore; if I use apt, I meant apt and not snap. Hijacking my command is Microsoft-style rug-pulling.
…but where am I supposed to find another cart in this 50 million dollar hospital?
Yeah, they don’t bring their stuff around for help anymore. They’re probably afraid I’ll wipe it and install Debian. 🤣 It’s been a long time; I’m an Arch fiend by now.
I was asked by a friend of the family why I had to “mod” everything, “You make it all so it doesn’t work right!”
…because “working right” in this day and age is a privacy nightmare, a security disaster, and relinquishing your rights, duh! Then I asked her how much the lawyer cost to understand what she’s agreeing to in all the EULAs of services she’s signed up for just to make things “work right”.
0.5.20 looked to have many features added but broke multiple games on multiple machines here. 0.5.21 existed but was quickly replaced with 22?
It didn’t tell me Lutris was going to break. Now I see they have their third point-release in less than a week!
One can still shutdown, but it requires going into the spooky, scary terminal.
I’m no expert but it’s fairly easy to mitigate.
Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to the legacy proprietary branch to maintain support: Uninstall the official
nvidia,nvidia-lts, ornvidia-dkmspackages. Installnvidia-580xx-dkmsfrom the AUR
Translates to:
sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia nvidia-lts nvidia-dkms
yay -S nvidia-580xx-dkms
In attempting this, I still had a conflict with lib32-nvidia-utils, so this should work better:
sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia nvidia-lts nvidia-dkms lib32-nvidia-utils
yay -S nvidia-580xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils
Using yay -Syy nvidia-580xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils means you don’t have to manually approve these replacement packages in the process, I think?
EndeavourOS, BTW
Designer should remove his neckbeard in shame.
It needed an updated updater to be up-to-date on updates.
My family still runs two of this mobo, but older revisions. I remember hearing about bugs with IOMMU but I can’t recall any USB or other problems.
IOMMU can be disabled in BIOS; it seems that it would only be useful if passing devices through to a virtual machine? Is that a valid assessment?
R6700 can run FreshTomato firmware.
Edit: If you do flash custom firmware, be sure to figure out exactly what model of R6700 you have; I think this is one of those in which v1/v2/v3 all have completely different hardware inside, and flashing the wrong one can brick it.
I run a GTX 980 Ti; Maxwell architecture is still supported for three years. Older than that: Kepler support ended last year and Fermi support ended in 2023, and they won’t play nice with kernels released since then.
In X11, any program can “see” your desktop if it’s designed to, correct?
