  1. The latter two would be a good idea to try. I might try sharing my internet with my PC Ethernet port before the wifi bridge, since that's what I already have. I can't do Ethernet over power because the guest house has its own separate electric line(like separate bill for it from the electric company).
  2. The plan is to eventually run Ethernet from the main house to this one (and possibly get it all set up as a mesh network so it's just getting the main wifi network into the guest house)but with all the other things that's being done in the main house as well it may be a bit.
  3. I'm currently living in a metal guest house that prevents me from getting a clear wifi signal from the main house. On my PC I currently just put the antenna for my wifi card on the windowsill and I get good signal (good enough to Livestream in 1080p). However I can't get anything to my consoles or my TV. The second you walk inside you lose all signal from the wifi. Would a repeater be a good option and if so which one? It would obviously need to be able to sit on a windowsill to actually get the initial signal. I know some people don't like them but all my TV and consoles will really be doing is streaming in movies and downloading games. This house has no wiring to get internet to it so getting it from the main house via wifi is my only option until it's wired over. Thank you all for any suggestions.
  4. I'm not an audiophile, so I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing when it comes to it. My audio hasn't been playing in Davinci Resolve 16. I've messed with the settings but I can't get any sound through my headphones. By what I've read it says to change my sample rate to 48khz? Apparently Linux doesn't run this normally but that's what Resolve wants? Audio isn't my strong point. Would this solve my problem and if so how do I do it because I can't find anything that's been helpful. I'm running Pop! OS and my rig is a Ryzen 7 2700, 16gb ram, and a GTX 970(had it since I was running FX can't afford an upgrade).
  5. I'm pretty sure. I'm still fairly new to the OS and the Linux community, but most things I've seen have just said it's plug and play.
  6. I recently switched from Windows to Pop! OS. I want to start streaming and making talk videos, but my Blue Snowball ICE will not show up in any software (including Pavucontrol). I've had this mic through 3 OS's and it seems that the only one that's ever not given me trouble was MacOS. Is there any way I can get it showing up so I can use it? I really don't want to have to buy a new mic when I have one that I like.
  7. That's what it seems people are saying. I've just heard some distros handle things like games or productive software better than others (like Resolve on CentOS vs Ubuntu).
  8. My system is Ryzen based. I play games on both PC and console, and I've seen things that showing work arounds for non linux games. I only game at 1080p and don't really play much competitve games (so I really am only shooting for 60fps). I've just heard some distros are better than others for it.
  9. I'm at a point where I'm done with Windows, even just for gaming. I currently dual boot Windows with Ubuntu but I want to move to a different distro. I tried 4 via USB, Manjaro XFCE, Fedora, Pop!OS, and Manjaro Gnome. I was gonna try two more but they either were gonna take forever to download or didn't let me try it through my flash drive (Deepin and CentOS). The only one I didn't care for was Manjaro XFCE (this might be down to me not use to it, I just really like the Gnome layout). Out of the remaining ones (unless you have other suggestions) which would you recommend for Gaming and Productivity? I play primarily on Steam but also use pretty much all other launchers (I grab any free game I can get no matter the launcher) including Battle.net, Epic, Ubisoft, and Bethesda. I use DaVinci Resolve for video editing and I dabble in Inkscape, Gimp, and Darktable.
  10. I just came back to the forum... Managed to get it to work if you wanted to know. Needed to use the Nvidia drivers that weren't the ones Ubuntu automatically puts on your computer.
  11. True... I just got fed up with Microsoft's bull, I still have it for gaming, but I want to avoid using it for anything but gaming.
  12. I installed DaVinci Resolve 15 on Ubuntu using a tutorial from Gear Seekers (most recent one). I did have to edit some commands to fit the filenames on my computer but other than that it was exactly the same. Resolve installed just fine but won't boot. All other software I have on here works just fine, just not resolve. Any idea what I did wrong or need to do to get it to work?
  13. I might have to do that. But I'll first check for the patch.
  14. I love my Pixel 2 XL and have had no gripes about it, except one. I'll plug it in to charge in the morning and it'll tell me it's rapidly charging. I'll leave it for almost a half hour and it won't charge any. To make matters worst when I unplug it it'll drop 5 % or more when I unplug it. After moving to a different part of the house and wiggling it to make sure it's plugged in it'll work, but I've tried doing that first thing in the morning and it'll still do it. It only charges on at least the second attempt. Anyone know how to fix it?
  15. Sounds like a good idea, and no real budget in mind, I'll just be saving up and when I get the money I get it, but at the same time I don't want to spend an arm and a leg.
  16. Looking into getting a new chair starting my research now so when I can afford it I can just get it. I like sitting up high so my shoulders can be relaxed, somewhat, at my desk. Currently using my roommates drum stool(throne as he says) and it sits where I'd like it to, but it just has nothing else for it. Sits about 17-20 inches high by what I estimate(I'm 5'11 with longish legs for my height and can have them at a 90 degree angle with my feet flat on the floor). I'd like something that can be roughly that high while being ergonomic and preferably isn't leather/pleather. Would anyone have suggestions on chairs? I know I'm probably asking a lot and may have to have some compromises in some places(especially if I don't want to pay an arm and a leg).
  17. I saw Linus's cheap mic round up and I'd like to get the basic xlr set up he showed off, but my buddy and I are starting let's plays together. For a two person set up would it be better to get the two channel behringer U-phoria with two microphones OR the single channel with a decent omnidirectional microphone (maybe a shotgun mic)? We will mostly be sitting next to each other on a TV but once in awhile will be at separate desks on our PCs, which are near to each other just different walls(sounds weird but I'll add a picture so you see what I mean). Any advice or recommendations would be great ?
  18. I can't get the bios to update, but it says its v.17.17 in the bios. I turned the ram down to 1066 mhz, but that didn't work. The bios recognizes 8gb of ram, and I found which slot windows is using, and the other isn't being used.
  19. ok, so the bios won't update, says it can't find files on my usb drive. It said it's compatible with up to 16gb ram at 1333mhz. Mine is 1600mhz, would that effect it?
  20. The memory sticks are from a set and I just tried booting one stick at a time. With one it works fine but the other the computer won't boot. I'm about to check the bios, but windows recognizes all 16gb of ram, but just uses half of it...
  21. So, I have been trying to find the solution to this for about a day now and nowhere I look has the correct solution. I just upgraded my ram to 16gb and the computer recognizes it all, but shows only 8gb usable. I bought this computer of eBay and have been putting upgrades into it as I can, due to finances, so it's not a high end system at all. My system is: AMD FX 4300 MSI 760gm-p23 fx 16gb 1600mhz ram GTX 970 Windows 10 Pro 64 bit And I recently upgraded the psu and added and ssd. So far I have: -Went to msconfig-boot-advanced options to see if the maximum memory was checked (it wasn't) -Checked the box and restarted -Unchecked the box and restarted -Went into the bios to try and turn up the voltage on my ram (bios wouldn't let me) -Tried to go into the system boot options and see if something there could work. This is a recent switch for me from MacOs so I'm still trying to get how a PC works, and it's a little frustrating.
  22. Could it be my CPU connector? It's an 8 pin but my mobo is only a 4 pin.
