Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Ray Tracing tested in the game Control. I chose that one to test it first because it's one where I'll notice it (one that needs it). That game has bugged me for a long time, the lighting and dithering and particles. Also, it's not that DXR ray tracing. I have the Ray Tracing settings on High, with a...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Well... no hesitation in either of those games now I tell you (Starfield and Far Cry 6) with maxed out settings. Though I haven't tried enabling the DXR settings... not sure how well our drivers can actually do the ray tracing on RDNA3 at this time, though my card has accelerators for it and they sa...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Fuck... nothing ever goes right. First of all, the card didn't seat right the first time (dropped right in, seemed good but evidently wasn't). It's a monster of a card, big metal support bracket supporting the weight of the card so it won't sag being held by the tang. It's not going to move now. The...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Card arrived as promised. Too late to install right now (have to leave) but that's about as good as it could get around here. Ordered 12:30 AM Friday, here 3:30 PM Saturday (and nobody else delivers on Saturday, Sunday and holidays but Amazon contracted couriers here)

Re: XZ Utils Backdoor
That was caught fast, considering there was no actual payload until very recently. Also, only silly distros would have upgraded xz that quickly, nothing "enterprise" or even mainstream like Ubuntu. It's also just one library, with a specific backdoor, yet I saw sensational headlines like &...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
I think the 7700 card should be fine, it's probably 8 months old since release. RDNA3 should be fine on Linux 6.4+ and current stable mesa, so I'll be fine with current kernels and certainly my mesa builds. I just worry about glitchy behaviour on newer hardware series'. By the way, I took that locki...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Sonofabitch... neither of those games will even run on this card. Neither Starfield nor Far Cry 6. In both cases I tried renaming their config files but neither game will launch. The card is way below system requirements, but that doesn't usually mean the game won't launch at all. Jeeze. Ahh well, I...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Something else. This is the first time I've even had to look at logs in 4+ years. I got poxxed off with the way journald was usurping the socket, making it difficult to use syslogd without piping from journald first, and shut logging off altogether. I never once, missed not having logs on Manjaroo/A...

Unrecoverable, ended up in a hard boot and me fscking filesystem errors from my other OS (probably the stupid fucking journald databases) which is what I do when I have a bad shutdown so it won't be mounted and I can fix serious errors if they exist. These weren't, just journal rollback and inconsis...

That's because you're using the fat distro config lol We need to get you sorted out on how to build a modern kernel for yourself (when you get time and are feeling better etc.) I thought 5 megs was big, but a lot of that code is monolithic to support a lot of different hardware and conditions.
