  • Snap out of it: Canonical on Flatpak friction, Core Desktop, and the future of Ubuntu

    Jump

  • Been meaning to fully switch to Debian for a while, but I've been making due modifying my apt sources to have the apt version of Firefox from the ppa and pin it above the snap version, but I guess at some point I'll have to bite the bullet and do a reinstall.

    Kinda crazy this had been 10 year old Ubuntu installs that I've kept going year after year from OS upgrades to hardware upgrades. My server Ubuntu install has transitioned from a Q6600 Intel core 2 duo, to a i7-4770, and would have survived another hardware upgrade I'm going to plan but that'll probable be when i do my reinstall.

    My personal laptop install has gone through 3 different laptops that I've just moved over from 1 drive to the next with gparted, from a dell vostro 3550, to a Dell latitude e7450, to a dell latitude 7490, again looking at an upgrade for the laptop too, I'll probably reinstall with Debian.

    If anyone has any new-ish AMD based laptop recommendations that are upgradeable (non-soldered ram, etc) and that don't break the bank, I'd appreciate it! Apparently dell doesn't sell any AMD laptops other than 1 outdated model from before 2020 I think.

  • Thanks for trying! But that didn't seem to work. My file had both of those lines but on the 2nd line had /var instead of /var/tmp. I added the /tmp and rebooting, but still doesn't sleep. I guess I'm on the nvidia 580 drivers now, I think what had worked for the 470 drivers was the following bellow. I think doing a kernel upgrade messed me up, but I got rid of the previous kernel so not sure which I have to go back to to get it working again.

    I actually did the opposite of this guide to see if that would work and it didn't. Without the nvidia power management services , the device doesn't sleep it comes right back on after a second of back screen, but with the services the device has a black screen, but is still on, not asleep and I can't wake it so I have to hard reboot.

    "Good news for affected users! I found a fix!

    A LITTLE BACKGROUND You may already know that NVIDIA drivers on Linux rely on either of two different methods for power management ( as described here 68 ), which include:

    Kernel Driver Callback: Works out of the box with no configuration required, but lacks advanced power management features and preserves only a portion of the video memory.

    systemd (/proc/driver/nvidia/suspend): Provides advanced power management features and preserves complete video memory, but requires configuration and setup.

    THE CAUSE Having mentioned the above, upon further inspection I found out the 470 driver migrated to systemd method while previous versions relied on Kernel Driver Callback. Apparently this is broken on some setups and kernels.

    THE WORKAROUND Now it’s obvious we have to revert back to Kernel Driver Callback method for now that the systemd method is broken, and here’s how you can do that:

     
        
Disable NVIDIA systemd services
sudo systemctl stop nvidia-suspend.service
sudo systemctl stop nvidia-hibernate.service
sudo systemctl stop nvidia-resume.service



sudo systemctl disable nvidia-suspend.service
sudo systemctl disable nvidia-hibernate.service
sudo systemctl disable nvidia-resume.service 



Remove NVIDIA systemd script



sudo rm /lib/systemd/system-sleep/nvidia

    Reboot and you should be able to suspend and resume properly with driver version 470.xx.

    NOTE: Backup your configuration just in case, or downgrade the driver if this does not work on your setup. This was tested on Kubuntu 21.04 with GeForce GT 710."

  • Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases

  • It probably means they're planning to do something really bad, really soon. Yaaaay. Fun for all..

  • Ok, how do we actually fix the linux bluetooth issues?

    Jump

  • Huh, I didn't realize Bluetooth was still such a problem for some people. I've been using Ubuntu and cheap chinese Bluetooth earbuds with a Intel wireless/Bluetooth chip, and they've been fine. Haven't really had many disconnect or connection issues.

    Now the 10 year old integrated nvidia gpu on my alienware steam machine, on the other hand.. Sleep just broke again when I did an apt upgrade yesterday, time to diagnose that, again. On 24.04 LTS if anyone was interested.

  • Resticopia - Android app that enables data backups powered by Restic backup software

  • --edit--

    nevermind, I see you just posted the link, you're not the dev. Leaving this question up to see if anyone has good suggestions for this type of backup.

    Hey there, does this just handle files/data, or can it backup apps too? Been looking for a reliable way to backup apps and data for the few times I need to do a phone wipe, would be nice to restore everything like it was and not have to go through the whole install process again for all my apps.

    I haven't tried extensively, but each tool I've tried in the past had issues and didn't really work for 100% of my apps and data, whether its Titanium backup, or the seedvault built into LineageOS, or Neo backup, etc. I haven't really had great success doing this.

  • You have any git instances that you could share out to help distribute, but also further develop the app? Github, gitlab, gitea, etc?

  • I'm not a big online gamer, so I don't really have to mess much with anti cheat stuff. But I wonder if any of the games you want to work will work in a windows VM with a GPU passthrough. You get basically native performance that way, but I think some anti-cheat stuff will still throw a fit even when trying to hide the fact that its running in a VM, so it's not guaranteed to work for 100% of games.

  • You ever watch scifi stuff and its kinda far fetched? Its because they're envisioning a future that hasn't happened yet. Its not an 'edge case' you just haven't been affected by it yet.

  • Get back to us when your health insurance company kicks you off your plan because your car has been reporting that you've been going to the bar 4 nights a week.

    Or when your wife starts getting ads when connected to your home network for strippers and strip clubs because you parked the car near a strip club 1 time.

    Or when your car starts suspiciously routing you through weird routes on maps, that take you close to the local fast food joints because Taco Bell/KFC paid them advertising money.

    "But none of that happens right now!"

    That's not the point. The point is, it could.
