This worked, Thanks!

How can I unmod myself?
I'd like to unmod myself from [email protected], but I don't see any button to do it, and by quick research the actions suggested do not appear for me.
I don't see an option via a comment of mine:

And neither over the sidebar:


Only difference in info I can see is that display name ends with :0 instead of :0.0. Depending on your DE, you might fiddle with display settings there. Are you running X natively and not XWayland?

Already used these drivers on previous installation, was 525 iirc (Linux Mint), but also went from 530 to 535 on Arch and it persisted. Thing is problem started the exact day I also flashed BIOS firmware so it's likely that it could come from there, but trying lts kernel now

Randomly stuck at "Reboot: Power Down"
Update 02/2024
The Problem has been solved by disabling TPM in UEFI Setup. TPM seems to be bugged with some CPUs. Before updating the BIOS, TPM was probably disabled by vendor, hence it didn't appear initially.
If you experience freezes right before poweroff, try disabling TPM in UEFI/BIOS settings if it isn't in use.
Symptoms
- Complete Freeze after:
undefined
preparing to enter ACPI S5 state Reboot: Power Down
- seemlingly random (can successfully shutdown maybe 10 times in a row, then suddenly freezes again)
- seems to happen more often as uptime grows
- Case Fans still spin, LEDs and Lights stay on
- Monitors stay on, still react to HDMI/DP Hotplugging (unplug/plug)
- REISUB/REISUO doesn't work
- Disks are already powered off and disconnected
- USB devices (eg. keyboard unresponsive)
Since When
- After switching to Arch and flashing BIOS Firmware 7C88v18 to MSI B460M-A Pro Board
- Arch Linux is ruled out by me since it's very unlikely Userland plays a role, and already

(Tutorial) How to make high refresh rates work in Xorg
This concerns a multi monitor setup with different refresh rates (e. g. 1 with 60hz and 1 with 144hz).
The text below is part of the linked article. If you have both nvidia and picom installed, check both sections.
NVIDIA (propietary)
- Open
nvidia-settings
- Go to 'X Server Display Configuration'
- In the bottom right, Click on 'Advanced...' if it says 'Advanced...'
- Make sure anything regarding 'force composition pipeline' is checked off
- Make sure you selected the highest refresh rates possible. You can either select it through the settings, configure it with
xrandr
or with your DEs Display Settings, is applicable
picom
- Make sure to start picom with
--no-vsync
Misc
If it still doesn't work, try settings these environment variables:
undefined
CLUTTER_DEFAULT_FPS=<your highest refresh rate> __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=<your highest refresh rate display> __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0
Find the DISPLAY_DEVICE name with xrandr | grep connected
Add the text block abov

It was from a GitHub Gist but idk which exactly it was, there are multiple. Keep in mind some files need to have copy-on-write deactivated (swapfile, VirtualBox disk images). The Arch Wiki mentions when copy-on-write should be turned off for a file

What do you mean with "birds part"? Learned from YouTube Videos, Arch Wiki, and experimenting on bare metal and in Virtualbox. Hardest part for me when installing Arch 1st time was partitioning and bootloaders

You might install an older kernel version from /var/cache/pacman/pkg
and then regenerate the initramfs. If not using NVIDIA, it's very easy to have multiple kernels installed (e. g. linux, linux-lts) to have another option if one kernel causes trouble.
I'd generally recommend having the lts or mainline kernel additionally if you use custom kernels, like zen or self compiled

In the Gentoo wiki it is also mentioned that "While it is true that Btrfs is still considered experimental and is growing in stability, the time when Btrfs will become the default filesystem for Linux systems is getting closer.". I don't know how many distros out there use Btrfs by default (never distrohopped), but it seems to become much more widely adopted than zfs.

I wrote this more or less for fun; it is slightly more extensive than the installation guide geared for a more advanced setup. The wiki is mentioned in the article as well and is encouraged to be used too

The Bootloader itself cannot be encrypted afaik, but the Kernel and initrd can reside on a LUKS Volume (GRUB_USE_CRYPTODISK). But, in order to prevent having to input your passphrase twice, you need to use a keyfile, and I have no experience with that, so I have gone another route. I don't think that a kernel and initrd necessarily need to be encrypted

I wrote a Guide on how to install Arch Linux with BTRFS and (almost) Full Disk encrytion
This covers obtaining the ISO, connecting to Wi-Fi, partitioning, formatting, mounting, installing, setting up encryption and installing GRUB, in one article. Also includes some tips, like quickly mounting from install medium. Maybe this helps someone.

Do you have GRUB installed into the ESPs fallback path? (esp/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI) I haven't tried grub-install --removable
yet, but maybe stuff got confused.

Had the problem only on one machine. Do you have, by chance, a MSI motherboard? Can't myself think of other causes and having the kernel and initrd on btrfs instead of ext4 can't be the problem?

Problem with new GRUB version? (grub-2:2.06.r591.g6425c12cd-1-x86_64)
When installing the GRUB version above, I got symbol grub_is_shim_lock_enabled not found
and can't boot, so I downgraded back to grub-2:2.06.r566.g857af0e17-1-x86_64. I tried --disable-shim-lock
but it didn't help. I don't secure boot and don't use TPM.
Package was pushed just 5 hours ago, anyone by chance ran into the same problem?
EDIT:
Tried again today, worked. Problem was likely caused because I installed GRUB into the "arch" NVRAM entry (esp/EFI/arch) instead of the Fallback which my board only supports (esp/EFI/BOOT). To do this add --removable
to grub-install. The full procedure is:
undefined
# grub-install --removable /dev/sdX ## or /dev/nvme0nX # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

(Controversial) Should lemmy.world close registrations at a certain user count?
To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had registered on it. There could be a link to join-lemmys instance overview.

A Lemmy Community for Geometry Dash

A Lemmy Community for the rhythm-based action platformer “Geometry Dash” developed by RobTop Games AB — Buy Geometry Dash: Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/322170/Geometry_Dash/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/322170/Geometry_Dash/] Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id...

Geometry Dash is a rythmn-based action platformer developed by RobTop Games AB. This community aims to be an alternative to /r/geometrydash on Reddit.

I first saw lemmy a few months ago, but forgot about it. The recent Reddit events have sparked interest again, and I am feeling adventurous. Major Social media platforms seem to collapse / mess up one after the other now, and the concept behind federation is very intriguing (especially that part that even different applications can communicate with each other thanks to ActivityPub).

I think, for mass appeal lemmy will ultimatively need communities for popular topics (games, trends, etc.), which can bring in lots of new users. From what I've seen so far the topics are still rather niche, or can't compete with identical communites on major platforms. When the traction starts getting big enough, it might just run on its own.
This comment is also more or less a test, trying out the platform.
