Hmm, definitely doesn’t seem like a graphics stack issue.

oO.o · March 21, 2018, 10:46pm

Seems to have resolved itself though.

Nope, just happened again.

SgtAwesomesauce · March 21, 2018, 10:48pm

It’s probably intermittent.

oO.o · March 22, 2018, 2:54am

Ha, they just added it: https://dev.solus-project.com/D2533

SgtAwesomesauce · March 22, 2018, 2:55am

Wow, like JUST. that’s a really recent addition.

they’re watching us

It was PulseAudio failing to handle a USB audio device and a displayport audio device at the same time. Started happening because amdgpu driver updated added displayport audio passthrough for the WX5100.

Unplugged the usb audio device for now. Seems fixed after reboot.

SgtAwesomesauce · March 23, 2018, 7:13pm

That would do it.

Damn pulse… I’ve never really had issues with multiple audio sources, but I’m really sure why pulse would interact with the DE like that to cause sluggishness.

oO.o · March 23, 2018, 7:20pm

The DE would freeze because the audio icon in the top panel would crash and relaunch everytime the system made a noise (there was no visual indication of this though)… it made tab completion so much fun /s

So in proxmox…

if you can do shared iSCSI storage for nodes in a cluster

How can you translate that to fibre channel instead?

nx2l · March 24, 2018, 2:10am

looks like i have to use LVM

This has been driving me batty:
Under KDE (Centos7.4) Firefox plugins appear to be running away copying things to the clip-board making the clipboard non-functional… all cut&paste is broken - even within emacs because of this.

Note the count on the upper right, in real-time, its moving so fast its a blur, perhaps 1,000 per second (no exaggeration):
xclip_runaway

Self-destructing cookie plugin was definitely one source, but it appears either ublock or ghostery (or maybe just firefox itself???) is also blasting the clip-board with something.

I have to log out and log back in and I get a few hours of cut&paste and then this comes back… This all started around the time meltdown and specter patches to firefox kicked in.

So I’m trying to switch from Windows to Solus as my main now, but there’s one problem. Well there’s a couple actually (mostly getting software to run that’s only meant for Windows/macOS), but the main one I’m having right now is just using multiple storage devices like I can in Windows.

I have

500GB Samsung 850 Evo with Solus
480GB SanDisk Ultra II with Windows
1TB WD 7200 RPM HDD for games (set up in Windows)
4TB WD 5400 RPM HDD for mass storage (set up in Windows)

If I’m just running Solus off the 500 GB SSD there are no issues, but the other drives do not show by default. If I click “Other Locations” in the file manager, they show up, but I have to do that every time I start my computer and that’s annoying. Is there a way to set them to mount automatically by default?

Second, I want to set my Steam library to install to the 1TB HDD (the 500GB SSD won’t be enough for all the games), but even after it’s mounted it doesn’t show up when I try to re-assign my Steam library folder. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Dje4321 · March 24, 2018, 7:55am

This should tell you all you need to know for how to auto mount drives and what not

I’m experiencing severe heating issues with 1800X on Fedora and Debian. I replaced heatsink, replaced fan, added larger heatsink.

Installed Windows today just for some tests… 17o C. Put it under load, and it got up to like 59o C.

Anyone know what would be causing this on Linux? 4.9 and 4.15, for Debian and Fedora.

Dje4321 · March 24, 2018, 8:56pm

install powertop and look at what it says. It might reveal whats causing it.

You should also look at system monitor and dmesg for anything that looks out of the ordinary

anon79053375 · March 24, 2018, 9:13pm

Thanks. I’ll check out powertop and dmsg. System Monitor and htop didn’t reveal anything.

Having some trouble with an NFS setup.

This is a super lightweight VM running Fedora 27 Server, CLI only, mainly for qbittorrent-nox. I SSH into it, and the network setup is bridged to the host and assigned an IP based off the MAC. The host machine is also the NFS destination, if that makes sense.

The line in the fstab is this:
192.168.0.248:/mnt/homeserver_share /mnt/homeserver nfs rw,soft,retrans=6,timeo=600,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0

When I do mount -a I get mount.nfs: No route to host. I’ve allowed the nfs service in the firewall, and made sure the service is running.

Not sure what else.
