Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
So... giving this some more thought, the only explanation I can think of for the CSM and Resizable BAR incompatibility would be registers. When you enable the CSM compatibility module in order to boot from MBR code, you are probably using the same registers needed to initialize that Resizable BAR fe...

Re: Fun With Corrupted DE's
You could have had shit from Mate in autostart or something. For example, XFCE dumps a bunch of shit in there and it used to be a cat and mouse game of me deleting them, arch putting them back every time there's an XFCE update etc. (I don't even have xscreensaver though, so that does nothing) [groga...
Re: Far Cry 6
So I'm fairly surprised at what I can enable here in this game. Not only Ultra everything (except no motion blur) and no scaling rubbish, DirectX raytraced shadows and reflections, adaptive sharpening (cleans up after antialiasing lol) and variable rate shading (VRS). That's actually just a performa...

Re: Arch Linux 2024
I just got the "filesystem" package that made this change in /usr/lib/sysctl.d and I rebooted. I can verify that it's not fucking with any of my values with the output of: (or I could pipe the results through grep etc.) [grogan@nicetry ~]$ sysctl -a abi.vsyscall32 = 1 debug.exception-trace...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Imagine trying to install one of those high end monster 4 slot cards (I think they're all Nvidia) :) I saw a video with Jay with one of those, it was like that, a big monster with a liquid cooling block (this was the "Megaman" PC build with the steampunk custom tubing). It needed a suppor...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
I think I understand what happened with the BIOS and CSM support. While the CSM module is just for backwards compatible booting (you still have a "UEFI BIOS") it conflicts with Resizable BAR support. I still don't understand what that has to do with booting from a master boot record, but i...

Re: Arch Linux 2024
Arch has decided to change the default vm.max_map_count to 1048576 (which is far lower than my value lol) If you have already set one, make sure it overrides the default in /usr/lib/sysctl.d. One would think that simply putting files in /etc/sysctl.d would do that, since it's the one that's processe...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Well, somethings things do go right.

Other than previously getting tools etc. I didn't e...

Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey
So the other night I played Odyssey because I couldn't play the games I'm currently most interested in. I found, oddly, that Odyssey ran shittier on this computer with the RX 570 card, vs. the old computer. I hadn't even changed any of the settings because I only briefly tested it on the new rig (I ...

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...

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
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...

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.

Something else. This is the first time I've even had to look at logs in 4+ years.

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.
