Onya, Wade, bring more people to Linux.
Onya, Wade, bring more people to Linux.
Not entirely true in my case, I’ve got an old Inspiron 530 that I have been trying to figure out what to do with. Well it ran Vista from the factory so that’s worthless now, so I figured I’d try putting Linux on it. Every single distro I tried installing just wouldn’t get past the splash screen. Mint, Ubuntu, Arch (GUI and manual installer), Pop_OS, ChimeraOS, nothing. Trying different USB media writing methods did nothing or made it not even show as a bootable device. Finally got Xunbuntu to work on it and even that took 3 attempts to install.
I’ve got a more recent HP that was originally Win 7 that did have a much higher success rate and an old Acer laptop that straight up will not boot Linux without a high amount of errors or just completely borked graphics even with multiple distros.
But I’m also an idiot so it’s probably me.
I was talking to one of the repair guys working on one near me and he told me they already ran Linux, so they’re one step ahead of you
Man I’ve followed like 6 different guides to a T and tried with 4 different distros and still can’t get it to work. I’m done fighting with it for a while. Maybe it’s just an issue with 7000 series AMD cards or the guides aren’t up to date with the kernals idk. I need to take a long break from it before I get upset and just return the GPU lol
Appreciate you trying to help though, truly
Sorry for the delayed reply, don’t have much free time on work days.
Was launching the VM via virt-manager. Do you want the overview XML or for a specific category within virt-manager?
lspci -k
shows both my GPUs are there now but trying to load the BM says iommu group is not viable
Yes, I installed libvirt along with the many other packages required
Passthrough not actually working, VM not detecting the GPU or not loading qemu properly even with everything loaded properly. Tried on 3 different distros (Ubuntu and arch based) and none worked. Might try the other suggestion to swap the cards. Just means I’ll have to redo my water loop for the 2nd time this week 🙃
Me this past weekend trying to setup GPU passthrough to a VM. Bought an AMD card just to passthrough my existing Nvidia one and have had nothing but issues with multiple distros 😔
Music slav on divolt. Plop in the link to the playlist/album into the download request then wait for it to download and zip it and you download from there. Max 100 tracks per playlist however.
It’s how I get my liked Spotify songs downloaded in mp3 with no DRM and throw them on my iPods.
Obviously a VPN is recommended
Works with FLACs off Deezer, Qobuz and Tidal as well
Edit: hmm looks like they’ve moved to discord now
Oh good, so over half my Steam library
I’m just an idiot that tinkers with things. I’ve got a TrueNAS Scale system up and running as network storage and Plex storage. There’s about 44TB of raw capacity in there right now, connected via a server SAS card. I just follow tutorials if I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
