theshatterstone54, in NVK holiday update: What we've achieved, and where we're headed

From what I understand (as an AMD user), NVK is a driver that aims to allow users to achieve the same level of support and performance as they would get with the proprietary Nvidia driver. If that is the case, does that mean Wayland on Nvidia can finally be as good as it is on AMD? If so, then 2024 can pave the way to complete Wayland transition and full Wayland support for all uses, including Gaming, and for all hardware, including Nvidia GPUs. If that happens, 2025 will be (I’m sorry, I know it’s a meme at this point) the year of the Linux desktop.

Fucking Canonical at it again.

Not a Linux app but I’m willing to bet that you’d love windows93.net.

FigMcLargeHuge, in What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

It’s going to take a little work here, but I have a large drive on my plex, and a couple of smaller drives that I back everything up to. On the large drive get a list of the main folders. You can do a “du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -hk1” on the root folder to get an idea of how you should split them up. Once you have an idea, make two files, each with their own list of folders (eg: folders1.out and folders2.out) that you want to go to each separate drive. If you have both of the smaller drives mounted, just execute the rsync commands, otherwise, just do each rsync command with the corresponding drive mounted. Here’s an example of my rsync commands. Keep in mind I am going from an ext4 filesystem to a couple of ntfs drives, which is why I use the size only. Make sure and do a dry run or two, and you may or may not want the ‘–delete’ command in there. Since I don’t want to keep files I have deleted from my plex, I have it delete them on the target drive also.

sudo rsync -rhi --delete --size-only --progress --stats --files-from=/home/plex/src/folders1.out /media/plex/maindrive /media/plex/4tbbackup

sudo rsync -rhi --delete --size-only --progress --stats --files-from=/home/plex/src/folders2.out /media/plex/maindrive /media/plex/other4tbdrive

Endorkend, in Super weird error, what's happening?

Before doing anything, if your screen allows it, swap DP to HDMI or HDMI to DP as output, that may fix this to the point of being able to actually boot and further fix the issue.

I've had this before with drivers where suddenly it would fail on either port but would still run on one of the others.

governorkeagan, in Super weird error, what's happening?

Have you tried booting in with a live usb? You might be able to do some sort of recovery from there.

Having said, I’m still very much a Linux noob.

luthis, in Super weird error, what's happening?

Can you remove the GPU and use onboard?

It is mentioning gpu in the errors, so it would be the first thing I would try, to see if the errors change, because I have no idea what’s going on here

SuperSpruce,

The computer is running a Ryzen 9 3900X, which does not have onboard graphics unfortunately.

Aggravationstation, in Debian Likely Moving Away From i386 In The Near Future

I’ve always kept a 32 bit Debian ISO on my Ventoy drive just in case.

Would be a shame if they stopped supporting it but I’d put dyne:bolic on my drive which was the first distro I ever used.

I just see a problem here:

I perfectly understand, approve and back this move, however I’ve a question about the current state of things and specifically Debian 12 users. Debian includes LXD LTS 5.0.2 on their repositories and that version will be still be around after 2024/05 and trying to use the image server. Debian won’t likely change stable to include Incus until 2025, what’s the suggested path here?

Shame they don’t have a list of the packages they offer.

comicallycluttered,

It’s a bit hidden in the FAQ, but here you go.

xscreensaver with IFS. Can’t stop looking at it. I’m writing this on another computer because I don’t want to disable screen saver on my primary one.

beeng, (edited )

What’s the IFS part? I tried a quick web search but didn’t find anything…

JackGreenEarth,

Institute of Fiscal Studies. But it’s now called LIBF - London Institute of Banking and Finance.

Thank you!

I have this already :) now I know their name!

If you’re getting into Proton, you might want to look at Nobara.

Liz_thestrange,

It’s seems pretty interesting, I will give it a shot, thanks for the recommendation!
