« on: April 24, 2022, 11:19:54 PM »

hi;
this kernel is working on SG6 w 510.60.02 nvidia drivers installed.
with it and proton GE I've been able to play Grounded game no freeze @1024x768 full screen w a 750ti.
Yeah my 970 after repair didn't work (we not heard back from Computer store either lol) So yeah.
fun but we all have these things happen.
this plus protontricks all helped .
I will try with game mode +lutris as well  .

General Discussion / fresh install thoughts /etc/nvidia driver

« on: October 07, 2021, 07:19:03 PM »

Hi;
So after  trying to get 5.15.rc to work with the 470 nvidia driver  and having no luck .
I reinstalled brtfs of course(Arch got me /Garuda) just love it lol.
But unlike that other distro I like stable base /bleeding edge apps.
But  just for a heads up 470 works with default kernel in Super gamer.
I'll be adding  other things like updated xfce 4.16 an some options that  https://www.youtube.com/c/LinuxForEveryone adds/guides .

General Discussion / upgrade to xfce 4.16

« on: July 27, 2021, 08:54:12 AM »

Hi;
I've upgraded to XFCE 4.16 to get newer  versions of  xfce programs etc.
I used the ppa listed here (https://www.debugpoint.com/2020/12/xfce-4-16-ubuntu-20-04/)and only did the first steps.
After upgrade I had to replace  terminal  icon shortcut and thunar shortcut.
use start menu search and look up terminal and right click add to panel and they will update/work then remove old shortcuts and move the new ones into  place by  start menu.
after this no other issues thus far  all other apps added to panel work.
and you have a updated xfce 4.16 without xubuntu tweaks and messing with  SuperGamer looks.

Software Issues / xanmod/amd firmware issue

« on: March 03, 2020, 06:49:07 AM »

Hi;
Ok so after an update and a purge of xanmod 5.4 my system will not boot  until I go into recovery and then hit resume normal startup.
this is new i even just got more updates but did  change option at load to  acpi off due to random reboots due to a firmware issue.
so just a heads up folks.
the screen loads greyed out supergamer like normal and then keyboard backlight etc goes off as well so no keyboard.

Software Issues / nvidia+5.4.7 kernel working how to

« on: January 03, 2020, 05:47:56 PM »

Hi; ok  so i ran across the  nvidia forums and an answer from someone there  stating to a user that he was trying to use a kernel compiled  w gcc 9.0. this sent me on a path to this site:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1140183/install-gcc-9-on-ubuntu-18-04

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc-9.0
sudo apt-get install gcc-9  was norberts answer

later answer was :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc-9 by ISanych

this was added later:
just as a reminder to people reading this sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-9 – JHBonarius
now this last line gives and error if you use top repo but does work gcc 9.0 is default .

I use ukuu(newer version pay for $10) to get the kernel, not an rc final.
now before this with nvidia 440.36  was a no dice and complained about firmware missing still working on that but my net works.
dkms would not install etc .

after adding the above and trying it later  it worked (today was tried and setup).

linux it never fails to  show how great the folks are that are willing to help.

« on: September 22, 2019, 04:30:20 PM »

Hi;
While I  tried to compile pulse audio 13  from git using this guide.
https://milos.jakovljevic.me/howto-compile-pulseaudio-from-git/
and by the end had no errors .
after make install, I had no sound
so I had to reinstall pulse 12 in again.
while I had sound with vlc i could not get sound in browser to work.
