My laptop says otherwise lol and because you didnt read the links I put
services.xserver.videoDrivers = [
"amdgpu"
"nvidia"
];
hardware.nvidia.prime = {
offload = {
enable = true;
enableOffloadCmd = true;
};
# Make sure to use the correct Bus ID values for your system!
nvidiaBusId = "PCI:0:2:0";
amdgpuBusId = "PCI:54:0:0";
};
Is all it takes to install Nvidia Prime Offloading on a NixOS machine with AMD iGPU and an Nvidia dGPU.
Yeah, its known that setting up an nvidia card is notoriously hard on linux. I believe Linus T had something nice to say about them. But what you’re looking for does exist and can be setup with a little bit of tinkering.
Personally, I use NixOS, so I just have to add a few lines of code to my nix flake. Here are the directions
Then you just add an environment variable for the applications you want to run. If you don’t use Nix and want to set it up manually, as always the Arch Wiki comes into play. See section 1.3.1.2.
To sum that up, install the nvidia drivers through the package manger, mod probe the kernel, and add some udev rules. You’ll need to add those environment variables again for any application you want to use the gpu.
Edit: I forgot to mention its called Nvidia Prime. If you search the distro of your choice plus that it should help.
Agreed, I believe “I think, therefore, I am.” sums that up well.
Now see I have the opposite problem after transferring to Linux lol If the laptop is connected to my thunderbolt 4 dock, the second it turns off… it turns right back on. I have to unplug the dock to keep it off.
Put the app into a docker container?
A student pilots license can be acquired by going to the local airport and asking for one. There is no testing or requirements to get one, just an application. Once your instructor is confident you can fly they can endorse you to fly solo.
In the US you only need 40 hours of flight time to get a Private Pilot license. To fly commercially for a job, you need 190 or 250 depending on if you go to a college flight program.
Apart of those 40 hours of flying, 10 of them must be solo hours. So this pilot has absolutely landed by themselves before.
Its always surprising to learn that a hair stylist in New York state is required to take a 300 hour course, but a commercial pilot needs less flight hours.
But the central service for those keys is only sharing the public key. Only the recipient can decrypt the message.
The only information it would give out is “this IP downloaded this public key”. Which can easily be covered up with multiple downloads from different IPs. You really only need to do this once per recipient too, once you have the public key you can just always keep a copy.
Shit, if your already using GnuPG, encrypt a file that’s got all your friends public keys. When you need to send a message, decrypt your file and grab the key you need.
Even worse. Given the boot, the sliver of woodland green MARPAT camo, and the ID card reader in the keyboard, this is some dumb ass Marine.
Thats not just sushi dipped in ranch. Thats PX gas station sushi dipped in ranch.
Holy shit I cant say that enough about Powershell. If you’re managing Windows machines in a corporate environment, powershell will make you seem like a wizard.
For OP, Check out the book “Learn Powershell in a month of lunches”. Each chapter is setup to be read in 30 minutes with a 30 minute exercise. That book has saved my butt on more than one occasion with the skills I learned.
Docker for desktop will also let you run a lot of services
What do you mean? The order stays the same lol
My issue with the gaming laptop is the massive brick needed to charge. My laptop has a 4070 and requires a 280w barrel jack charger to fully power it. The brick is about the same size as my steam deck lol since I travel for work I have to carry that laptop. Even better I use the same charger for my laptop and steam deck.
Does your gaming laptop have a large brick? How do you manage if so?
Cold boot attacks?
I cant code to save my life but I cobbled together my asus laptop and got the sound working. Due to an extra AMP, I had to patch the SSDT. I found a thread on how to do it on another laptop then found the idenifier for my laptop and patched it in. The laptop had just been released, so I went to the discord and pasted a how to.
The repo owner reached out to me and asked me if I could provide a couple of other identifiers, they were so incredibly friendly! I had never done something like this before and they greatfully created a better patch and submitted it upstream.
It was super awesome to have someone help me and ensure that the work was pushed out so other people could use it. 10/10 would contribute to the Asus on Linux project any day!!
Well if it was for a tech job im sure you could’ve shown off some troubleshooting skills haha
And the ArchWiki link is perfect. Ill read up on that and ensure I’m using it correctly. Thank you very much for the pointer kind stranger! :)
I’ll ask! How do you know? Lol
All jokes aside, I think this might really help me with a side project I’ve been working on. Ive been trying to get full disk encryption working on a NanoPi R6S running NixOS. The issue that im having is that im not sure exactly what modules I need in the initrd. When I boot, there is no output on the display after systemd-boot shows.
The manufacturer puts out a version of Ubuntu thats works flawlessly so I know its possible. But I’ll pass on the snaps and id rather not use uboot. System is working with edk2 and nixos.
Long story short, will this software allow me to figure out what is running in the manufacturer’s kernel and port it over?
If you run systemctl reboot on a non-vm it will actually power cycle the system and cause it to go back through the BIOS and then the bootloader. Using systemctl kexec allows you to “restart” the computer without having to go all the way back through the full boot process.
In the case of a VM, some are setup to do this behind the scenes. For example, virt-manager allows for direct kernel booting. If you look in the options there will be a path to the kernel. If its not setup that way, then the VM still has a bootloader. In that case, restarting the VM with kexec will allow for a faster reboot since the bootloader is skipped completely.
So you can just run kexec if its installed on the distro. This tells the kernel to boot into another kernel. The reason to use it with systemctl is to properly shut down all the services running in userspace. That command will have systemd gracefully turn off all services and then the new kernel with whatever updates / modules can be loaded in a clean environment.
Its useful if say, you have a VM in a data center. Now most of them provide a web gui where you can turn your VM off and then on. But if you’re lazy like me and already remoted into the terminal lol
No hate, but I actually liked a lot of the photos that they had selected. Lots of international holidays and events called out which was fun. Got worried for a second, since I still have it set as my current wallpaper.
Then I giggled and remember to myself that I switched to Linux and KDE can pull directly from them without any of the spyware ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
