I'm convinced you never read the title.

I'm running POP OS 20.04  

the gnome version is 3.36.1

I'm running off a WiFi USB chip (witch it's says its a 150 mbs chip) (the router is close I'm right above it, its a 50mb down so I should be fine, my pc is not covered so there's should be not issues but there is) 

my specs are as follows

I7-920 2.6ghz

MSI AMD R7 370 2GB

4GBs 1666mhz Ram (although I have 3 sticks with 2GB each so why doesn't my system show that?) 

My motherboard is GB-ex56-ud5 vs 1

old tech I know but Right now I'm stuck with em till I can save up money and get a AMD ryzen build but here in Canada I'd be lucky to even upgrade my ram smh

I even reinstall pop os (witch is my main driver, likely not changing I'm more familiar with it) 

 

Tell us the chipset name of that wifi chip, so far it looks like it has a shitty driver and we need to know the exact name to see if there is another driver avaiable

Personally I'm constantly switching between because one can't fulfill the other, my blasphemy levels are out of control 

I would say Windows is much more garbage of course, Linux would be better with more third-party support 

A bit of an advice of what you are doing here for the 3.2 part 

You are enabling AMDGPU support for legacy GPU's who primarly use the radeon driver, the amdgpu driver is builtin at least from the last 3 years on the major distros and the only AMD GPU's that will use it are Southern Islands (SI) GPU's and Sea Islands (CIK) GPU's, and what you wrote was enabling support ONLY for CIK gpu's, you actually have to put this

Southern Islands (SI): radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_7000_series)
Sea Islands (CIK): radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 (as you correctly wrote, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_Rx_200_series)

This is not needed for new gen AMD GPU's

I don't think an anti cheat software has an ext4 driver builtin, anyway the only way would be blocking access to the second hard-drive or partition with LUKS (or just unplug it)

Well after a pc restart I have to reinstall the game the files just disappeared

Is it on an external storage?

The game is installed on internal and i am running latest proton will clean wine prefix tmrw

Also what distro are you running? Do you have all the wine dependencies?

Intel core i5-3210m GTX 1050 2gb, just a side note the rockstar games launcher setup screen was broken af maybe it didn’t install

https://www.protondb.com/app/271590

As stating here it should run just fine the only thing I can think of is:
Is the game installed on an external HDD? 

Are you using the latest proton version? (5.0.6)
 

Anyway try also cleaning the wine prefix then running the game again (it should be located in steamapps/compatdata/*appidofgta5*/

What are your PC specs? 

I don't think so, they got different CPU architecture I think? 

You may have better luck by just installing an Unix System V with qemu and install the programs on it

Due to the ongoing crisis I have been working from home. I read on several places online where they suggested to use a VPN. I was wondering if its really necessary to do so or should I access the internet like I always did? I am working on content writing so not sure if I need the extra security.

I think there is a misconception here, you are not using the classic "privacy-friendly VPN" that someone sells

When working from home you are supposed to access the company resources through their own VPN server without opening any useless resource to the internet

Wonder what Microsoft has to say on it considering it violates all their guidelines, not that they would comment on it but would be nice. Would be even more nice for a Windows security patch to come out that blocks it, a big "Yea, no you don't".

I'm surprised they actually signed that driver and not some VirtIO drivers for KVM running Windows VM's

Regarding the Windows VPN traversal issue: that makes sense. Being essentially a VM with additional API integration, the network stack in Linux is most likely being bridged through the NIC and not going through Winsock. IMHO this is a "good thing".

The VPN problem was an issue to me even before in WSL 1, but mainly because of network names not being passed to the VPN DNS server because of an incorrect /etc/resolv.conf file the WSL created

At least now I could connect directly the openvpn client (SSH only), even though without X.org + Remmina I would use the Windows RDP client + two simultaneous VPN client connections

I may have figured it out... Clearly my board "auto" settings is nuts

Here is what voltage applies to my sticks

Single 4GB (old) stick: 1.214 V, Stock clock 2133Hz

Dual 4GB (old) sticks: 1.316 V, Stock clock 2133Hz

Single 4GB (old)  stick: 1.360 V, 2667Hz

Dual 4GB (old) sticks: 1.210 V, 2667Hz

Single 4GB (new) stick: 1.210 V, 2333Hz (no oc, auto mode)

Single 4GB (new) stick: 1.360V, 2667Hz

Three 4GB sticks. 1.360V, stock clocks 2133Hz

Three 4GB sticks. 1.210V, at  2667Hz

????????????????

Is 1.316V safe?

Anyway, I'll try forcing 1.250V first and see how it goes

From my understanding, mixing and matching RAM is not really a good idea.  I believe using odd number of RAM sticks makes it even harder because one of the your channels will have twice the RAM, but also mismatched timings on them.

yeah I can attest to the mix match not being the best....im using the matching 16gb 2666 set that came with  my A51m  as well as the 12GB of 2133 that came with my older MSI (8gb and 4gb)

Can say system stability isn't the best, so will likely be yanking out the two older sodimms.

 

 

I already thought about that, but it's strange they work fine when only the two of them are installed

I tried mixing the old and the new one in dual-channel mode without the third old one, so 

1x4GB New one + 1x4GB Old one and I got no issues at all

With further investigating, I noticed the following things, maybe this board is a bit nuts

With stock bios settings, no OC at all, with the old sticks, the DRAM voltage states 1.36V 

When I set the OC at 2667 (without changing anything else) the DRAM voltage locks up to 1.21V 

Could it be I need to force the voltage a bit higher?? Even though both sticks are rated for 1.2V 

Could I try forcing the voltage at 1.25V? 

Good morning, I'll start with the system setup

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600, stock clocks

Mobo: MSI B350M Mortar

RAM: a couple of old, scrapped from a skylake build (2015) 2x DDR4 HyperX 4GB RAM, serial KHX2133C14D4, stock clocked at 2133Hz

New ram stick: 1x DDR4 HyperX 4GB RAM, serial KHX3200C16D4/4GX, maximum clock 3200Hz

PSU: Enermax Triathlor Eco 550W

GPU: RX 580 8GB

I overclocked the two old 4GB x2 HyperX sticks at 2667Hz from the bios since a LOT of years and it was pretty much stable, I could even leave stock voltages (1.2V) since it was rated for in the product page, but without XMP
Amazon page (couldn't find the product page anymore from kingston) https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00TY6A1P0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The issue came out when I installed the new (5yo newer!) ram stick, and since it was rated for 3200Hz I was pretty much sure to have no problems at all, but eventually both Linux and Windows started acting strange, bsods, random reboots, and the Windows Memory Diagnostic almost gave out hardware problems instantly when the clock was set at 2667Hz from the bios...

I'm pretty much clueless of what I have to do and what the problem could be, here are the things I tried:

- Tried swapping the DIMM slots (I got 4), no luck no matter the order

- Tried to swap the ram so the dual channel is made between the old one and the new one (also tried the opposite), no luck

- Updated the BIOS

- Tried to OC only two sticks in dual channel, the old and new one, it worked perfectly, so wtf? 

so, tl;dr, the problem comes out only when 3 DIMMS are installed, no matter in which order or memory channel, they won't work decently if the clock is set at 2667Hz

They work fine when I leave stock clocks

Here are the SPD pages of CPU-Z

New one:

Could it be something voltage-related?

Check if the atl1e driver is loaded

lsmod | grep atl1e

I tried to launch steam with the driver in title, to see if gta would run better with it complains about this error and causes steam to not launch. i can launch steam on 418.56 and under but gta is so slow. how would i fox the error?

Try to install the 32 bit drivers

sudo apt install libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386

and if you got the 430 nvidia drivers

libnvidia-gl-430:i386

Also try to reinstall the drivers from the driver manager if the issue still persist

Also I recommend using the ppa:graphics-drivers repo

The ISP is probably blocking the incoming 25 port, not the outgoing one, so it's probably something bad configured if you can't still send emails using GMAIL as a relay host 

Also, afaik GMAIL only uses SSL, from the log I can clearly see you are configuring gmail to relay mails to the port 25

sadly OMV is not a desktop OS, interfering with it configuring the net interfaces could cause issues

USB tethering anyway needs the usbnet kernel module to be avaiable, then it should show up as an interface

type ifconfig -a

if you can obtain an address with dhcp ethX or with dhcpd ethX, you are good to go and you have an internet connection

as for the lan driver, just type lspci -v as root so I can understand what kind of chipset it is 

It's possible but that hardware and storage is too weak, you would have definitely a worse experience than the one you described 

You may be more lucky to host one yourself on your desktop PC

Well uhm... I do...

At work

Over 20 servers, at least

Well actually I try to regularly update all of them including the bios, ssd and hdd firmware and the OS itself so I do not worry that much, all of them under warranty

Hi everyone,

 

I have a question specifically for people who have purchased Dell laptops in the UK before.

 

I have a Dell XPS 15 9560 from 2017 that has been great for me throughout my time at university. I have taken good care of it and honestly I've been paying particular attention to taking care of the battery because I damaged the battery on my previous laptop by keeping it plugged in all the time. However, recently the battery just suddenly died with no warning, and all the symptoms are those of a dead battery including the flashing amber light at the front, the three blinking white lights on the side and the fact that it doesn't turn on unless it is plugged in.

 

I have been contacting Dell customer service and apparently they don't sell new batteries any more and the only solutions is a refurbished replacement. In my opinion this is unacceptable, I find it odd that they don't make the batteries anymore and that the only solutions is to send a used battery for a pretty high price too. My question is, is this way of fixing it common for these Dell laptops? and are there any other reliable websites/stores where people recommend buying replacement new batteries in the UK?

 

Thanks!

Aliexpress has tons of them for cheap, and I mean REALLY cheap, I bought one for around 40€ for the 9550 model (84Wh)

Certainly I would say that an Ubuntu based distro would be more stable by the way apt works instead an Arch based distro

From a performance standpoint, unless it's a fairly recent hardware, and I mean REALLY new and recent hardware, the performance difference wouldn't be noticeable, so just stick with Ubuntu/Neon LTS

My friend sent me a video of our store. We have no toilet paper at all. Not even the expensive rolls left. Wtf. Meanwhile all of Italy is  on lockdown.

 

 

Yeah, theoretically I have to sign a paper where I tell where I’m going and where I’m from and the reason I’m doing that. 

I’m 100km far from the closest red zone and in my city I think there are 10 cases

Pretty sure not everyone did this and I have yet to see a single police officer checking all the cars travelling on the road

Meanwhile I just left those papers in my car

Why not use Timeshift making full file level backups, then move your /home?
