@rolfie that sounds good. My current kernel is screwing up a bit.

#102 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2024-09-16 00:38:13

Pocket MNT Reform is the one I ordered @chomwitt

I await the RK3588 though for that.

are there backports for newer kernels in it?

Like 6.10 instead of 6.1 for example.

#104 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-15 23:12:36

Yes, but can you figure out how to get doas to use nopassword and make:

doas poweroff go off w ithout asking for password causing it to shutdown

I ask anyone if they can make that happen.

@camtaf someone on the framework community website forums suggested it was a memory leak. But it still is very weird regardless.

You can see it here:

https://upload.disroot.org/r/sebSnA6b#m … +VuzWkbXU=

I was using wine-staging and after like 3+ game of a game called SC2, suddenly everything slows to a crawl.

I logged off and lone behold, I check my ram 5.6GB is being used!

When I started the game originally of SC2 I checked and it used less then 2GB of ram.

But after the three games even after closing it, I still was having 5.6GB being used.

It was friggin weird. 

I checked with htop and found that some xorg program was using like 30+% of it. That attachment shows the main command of issue. I dunno what the hell this bug is.

Someone enlighten me.

PS, this is the computer I play starcraft 2 on and yes AMD GPU non-free blob was enabled.

@quickfur I missed that post you put on the first page.  Well, there are certain folders you can download files onto.  If you use firejail to limiting specific commands, you can limit which folders you download to, which also means only shared folders like Downloads or Desktop can have files downloaded to.

I have had that situation before.   If your files have permissions of only "this user"  they are unlikely to be used unless some zero day vulnerability hits.

Which is possible, I suppose. But its not constant. That's how I feel like this is.

For the most part that is my view.  Some files might be i suppose looked at, but most not, unless using proprietary software of course.

#108 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-12 17:15:09

@bilhook does this work for you on devuan? really? I just want to do this for poweroff and reboot nothing else.

I could have sworn I tried what you suggested though. But I will try again.

I should add I need it have nopass as an option for those two things. That's where my problem is coming in.

I wan to not need a pass to make this work:

doas poweroff or doas /sbin/poweroff

and have the computer shutdown as a result.

#109 Re: Off-topic » Firefox is becoming too chrome like. » 2024-09-12 17:12:59

@bilhook pocket is garbage much like encrypted media extensions the DRM that pulls in widevine google codec only its actually worse cause there is zero reason for it to be enabled.

#110 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-09-12 00:37:30

Was solved, but now I can't remember how to do this again. Weird shit I will say...

#111 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-09-10 01:13:54

@golinux I have also gotten bored of this thread too. Did like, 10+ pages ago. I mostly just look to see if anyone like yourself is getting bored. I find this entertaining dont ask why.

#112 Re: Off-topic » Something I realized, » 2024-09-07 01:14:40

@JWM_KIT sadly, I have had to realize much of what has been said below your comment. 

So much hardware needs blobs.

I look forward though to ditching the UEFI bios that framework laptops have once they supported coreboot though. big_smile

But yeah, if you into gaming, the best way in my opinion to proceed is to keep only what you need on the gaming computer.

Files you want kept hidden, including ideas your working on that you could make money on, etc...

KEEP OFF the gaming computer!

Because UEFI is... sketchy.

Whether AMD's PSP is as bad as intel me, idk.

This being said, there is someone who decompiled PSP on github. of AMD and they seem to say it has no network stack.

I dunno if this is a good enough reason to use it or not, but it gives me some hope for future.

@alexkemp

Btw, didn't know utf-16 was only used by windows, or that utf-8 is used by 98%+ of the web. Interesting stuff

@Blackhole

Sometimes ignorance prevents us, or people I should say from seeing the truth.

I still recommend keeping any computer with blobs on it from having your more important files though.

#113 Re: Off-topic » Gratitude » 2024-09-05 04:35:07

I have gratitude for many things, if I think about it long enough

One my faith,
two my anger has diminished over the years
if there is a third, it is that I begin to see traps for what they are.

Such as social media, people go on there to be validated all too often and whether they are or not, there is a risk in both directions of losing your way.

1: You become arrogant from get validation too much (positive)
2: you fall into despair from being criticized too much (negative)

My faith has been showing me these things.

although it took me a while, for me to respond and/or take it seriously.

Those are some gratitudes I have discovered recently.

It turns out, that using blobs when you don't need to might have merit.

I will admit, I always wondered why people did this when they didn't have to.

For example AMD graphics doesn't need a blob apparently.

But if you do gaming, battle.net type stuff which I have been doing on a separate computer devoted to it.

Aka, that comp is specifically used for gaming.

I apologize if I was ignorant before.

I believe I have been humbled on this matter.

I got a framework laptop you see and it doesn't work well for gaming without the amd display driver blob for graphics.

#115 Re: Off-topic » Gratitude » 2024-08-25 06:27:11

Gratitude, tough to have, but priceless to have.

#116 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2024-08-25 06:26:38

@UnixMan1230 That's why I disable the touchpad and use trackpoint on the keyboard. It works like a charm and is my thing.

#117 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] how to install kernel 6.6.47 (or 6.10.6) in a new daedalus install » 2024-08-23 21:19:51

There is another way to get newer kernels:

https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/l … sh.en.html

If you follow this guide, it will work.

BUT! If you need/want blobs, this method is useless to you.

I currently use it on my framework amd laptop. Now that the wifi card has been replaced it works completely fine.

Still, you get new kernels quite often.  LTS and the usual one as well.

#118 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2024-08-23 21:12:33

Btw, restricted boot is more accurate then secure boot for UEFI.

Also, the idea of having network stack underneath or OS is just plain stupid.

This is why people need to say  no to doing drugs.

Not including marijuana but stronger ones. wink

#119 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2024-08-22 02:11:29

Framework is addressing part of this. The constant waste and their hinges are repairable. Also MNT Reform is doing somrthing similar but with ARM64 so far.

#120 Re: Off-topic » Secure Boot? Yes, we've heard of it ... » 2024-08-22 02:05:03

Secure boot is bad, because there is a network stack underneath the operating system running like almost always*

*unless you disable parts of intel me and coreboot the system.

wink

Whose idea was it to put a network stack underneath the OS?

That only made problems for everyone, linux users included.

#121 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-08-18 01:07:51

I am sure golinux loves all these groaners a lot. big_smile

#122 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to get doas working properly on devuan? » 2024-08-18 01:06:40

I figured out that I forgot the nopass part for getting jwmkit to shutdown and reboot properly.

I forget where I looked it up, but yeah, it works now.

I will have to quote myself later.

This is solved tho.

#123 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] AMD Installation, » 2024-08-18 01:04:51

Seems I made a huge stupid mistake when I tried the first bunch of times to load it.

I didn't disable secure boot!

Guess what I did once I realized that? I think you know.

smile

Like a sample config?

And also, I wanted to make it so, doas poweroff would automatically cause my computer to shut off.

But with one caveat, I want doas poweroff to work without root to users that can use sudo. But only that command will require no password.

I recently got an AMD 13 inch framework laptop, but I am wondering, I tried installing daedalus, but its not paying attention to my boot usb drive.

It has a live usb, but for some reason, it is failing. Anyone had this problem with framework amd laptop?

Thanks in advance.

If so, can you tell me what I need to do , to get my framework computer working with devuan?
