facing issues on linux mint

[Shanewaz Sultan]

I switched to Mint (The package that comes with NVIDIA drivers) around 40 days ago, 1st time user. I'm running a Ryzen 5500 with an Rtx 4060ti 16gig.
I m facing some annoying issues!
Issue 1
Whenever I pause a video (local video playback via media player like Pmv/Vlc or through browser on YouTube or Twitch), I experience significant fps drop and/or stutter in the video after I resume.
Restarting the player or reloading the tab is my current fix. What do i do?

Issue 2

I have a 980-pro for boot drive and another generic m.2 as my default download location. The 2nd drive doesn't mount by default upon boot.
as a result my "high seas" down-loader freaks out every-time my PC boots. How do i solve this?

You need to edit your /etc/fstab to do this but you can do this through the gui, read the first post after OP here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/164926/how-to-make-partitions-mount-at-startup

 

 

To do what the top post says you need to also do:

 

sudo apt install gnome-disks or install through your software manager.

Mint user, I don't know about this package, as I always use the regular Mint, and install the drivers from the driver utility. I'm guessing maybe you mean the edge build? I guess it should end up the same.

In recent versions of Mint, I've been having Audio issues, so I've been making these changes, it seems to take care of of it:

Edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

Add or uncomment (remove ;) this line:

default-sample-rate = 48000

Add these lines:

default-fragments = 8
default-fragment-size-msec = 10

Disks should already be installed, you can just choose to have it auto mounted by default. No need to install anything else. If you run into any issues, let me know I'll post a screenshot from mine.

You never mentioned audio issues. I wouldn't worry about it.

This is probably because you have no Video Hardware Acceleration as NVIDIA doesn't support vaapi which is the standard on Linux.
You might be able to use nvidia-vaapi-driver, but it's community maintained, has limited support, and is known to break. You may also need to enable vaapi support in Firefox, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/firefox#Hardware_video_acceleration

You need to do sudo Edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

You must edit this as root. So the easiest thing to do would be 

 

sudo xed /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

 

That will open it up in the text editor for you.
