Another thing about this. I have aggressive motherboard settings, "XMP Profile 1" which affects CPU clock and memory speed. (I want my memory running at 3200 MHz). It reports a 5 GHz processor. Now... LINUX, is VERY aggressive (at least with only "performance" governors etc.). It...

While it didn't help with the static touch (maybe I'm really some sort of Marvel villain and I don't know it yet lol), covering the top like that did help with air flow in the case. I just did a mesa build (ninja -j24) and while I wouldn't say the temps were good, cores were only spiking up to 100C,...

Sonofabitch... does static ever travel. I got some rubber carpet underlay and tested it with my multitester. It is non conductive, even with the probes a millimeter apart, and pressed on either side of it. It didn't work. OK, not thick enough, so I put two, and three pieces (just for testing). Nope,...

Fuck... so even water cooling would only keep the temps around 88C for these CPUs while compiling ("heavy content creation workloads"), from what I just read. I guess I'll just compile with -j8 or something so cores can juggle more (still have to fix the cooling though).

The cooler is working, just too poorly for my uses (I think I can remount it without taking the board out of the case, as long as I can get at the fan clips with my hands). I didn't even realize I had a problem because it idles with the cores between about 37C and 42C and it comes down instantly whe...

It has feet on it, I don't know if they are rubber. It's on a wooden table top though (just the frame is metal... it's a folding office table. Yes, that does seem like a shitty CPU fan. It's a big housing, too.Though no matter what you get, it's a shitty clip mounting system on the radiator that wou...

I ordered this PSU tester https://www.amazon.ca/Supply-Tester-Computer-Connectors-Screen/dp/B0CK61ZSZN/ We'll see if it's any good. It should make it easier. I also ordered an 8g tube of Arctic MX4. I would have gone with MX6, but I'm not in the mood to try anything new. (and the MX4 comes with a ni...

I've got a big black, tall, ugly Antec case I might try to use. The computer that used to be on the other desk (also X58 board and nehalem corei7). I could take the guts out and use that... ugly, but practical if the motherboard mounting works out (should... it's a full tower case). My good old syst...

This case has some issues for me. I didn't think they were serious, but I noticed some things that are dire. Firstly, the board doesn't really go in the case quite right. It fits up and mounts properly, but the rear i/o ports are too far forward (inside the case) to get the i/o shield on. I don't ca...

Oh your bios wouldn't know about your display setup, "init display first" is for the graphics adapter. (all the same, it should be set right). The only reason I have "multi monitor" setting is because it's the built in Intel graphics, and the multi monitor keeps it enabled so you...

A lot of wine games seem to hit this split lock condition: [ 903.944945] x86/split lock detection: #AC: CJobMgr::m_Work/3307 took a split_lock trap at address: 0xf324f47f [ 1067.699846] x86/split lock detection: #AC: FarCry6.exe/4064 took a split_lock trap at address: 0x6ffff4d97b97 [ 1074.084396] x...

Fucking PSU's these days... suffering Hell. I'm going to order a power supply tester of some sort, it's not that easy to swap them out for testing anymore with all those connections. Pretty much any time I touch hardware I get more than I was expecting. So you get nothing until X starts on a cold bo...

Huh, I was getting a nasty oops type warning (kernel tainting) like RIP: 0010:prefill_possible_map on CPU0 with a bunch of call trace oops spaghetti. It was during initializing CPUs, but it went on to do the right thing after, enabling 24 CPUs (only 8 of mine have hyperthreading) so I was pretty sur...

New kernel option:
Definitely need to say Y here, or things like fsck at boot time wouldn't be able to work.

It's live on kernel.org now (I had to refresh my browser to see it)

I guess I'll do that right now.

Shit, I just rebuilt my 6.7.9 a little while ago (fine tuning config)

I've got my grub configuration cleaned up now set default="0" terminal_input console terminal_output console set timeout=10 set timeout_style=menu set menu_color_normal=white/black set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray set linux_gfx_mode=text ### Add delayacct to the kernel command lin...

That looks like good pizza they are eating, too (charred on the edges etc.)

It sounds scary, but if having an esophageal cyborg implant lets you eat pizza again (or simply eat and sleep and stuff)...

It had been so long that I didn't know Arch dropped my mail program, Sylpheed. I have to head out soon and I needed to check my email, so I thought I'd take a shortcut and just install the distro package. It's gone! (at some point in the last 4 years or so lol). So I had to take 20 seconds to compil...

Sorry about your heart burn. Yours isn't "normal" heartburn, but if I had it, it's worse laying down than anything. Acid reflux can have me puking into my lungs too if full enough, when sleeping laying down (so I don't go to bed full anymore) With gigabit+ LAN, I guess the frames would str...

I had one of those batman squirt guns around 1970! I remember it.

You just had to give me some mayonnaise products, thats was missing from the forum

Ahh, when kwin used to crash it just briefly showed a bit of tooltip text in the systray :lol: Don't forget about "dbus-launch gimp" That's the only thing I can think of that would prevent the screenshot plugin from working, IPC shit. I just tried to open gimp and... I forgot I don't have ...

Did plasmashell reload itself seamlessly like kwin used to when it crashed?

Yes, I said glue :lol: I tried that paste last night, but while I was spreading, it started to go immediately stringy and harden. I wiped that the fuck off right away (with methanol) while I could, and went with my 18 year old tube of Arctic Silver (which is still fine, stored standing upright in go...

Well, I can start a Far Cry 6 thread now :clap: I've only just gotten through the linear, cut-sceney parts but it's been pretty nice. I can play it on Ultra, with 165 Hz Vsync (though I'm certainly not getting 165 FPS at those settings lol) and it's pretty smooth. I'm at the Libertad camp and have a...

I wouldn't have thought so last night while I was cursing with that small case and the bootloader fuckery, but really I did OK. I went from parts in the boxes yesterday, to gaming on Arch with a custom kernel and a new mesa build by supper time today

Forgot to say... no, arch does NOT boot with UUID nomenclature without a properly constructed initramfs (with all the right hooks or nothing). It's kernel panic. I had to change the rootfs in fstab to /dev/nvme1n1p1 (I left the others UUID for now just in case it shifts again) and in the grub entry ...

Arch got me in the ass again... I've been keeping my own firmware blobs for so long that I didn't know Arch compresses the firmware now. I build a kernel and amdgpu was fatally dying. WTF. Compressed firmware support in kernel. I was just going through and it stuck out like a sore thumb... hey, that...

Well, I'd say I can compile a little faster now :-) I tested a kernel build (not valid, the same config that I build on the other for comparison) make -j24 real 1m31.191s user 31m16.943s sys 2m26.410s That takes near 10 minutes with all the netfilter shit I build (-j10 over there). A minute and a ha...
