How do I load i2c-module and i2c-i801 driver?      (Linux)
submitted by 2Drunk to Linux 1 year ago (+1/-0)
7 comments last comment...
I'm using an ASUS Laptop running Mint and Garuda. Haven't decided which OS to keep. I'm trying to run OpenRGB for the laptop and both OS give the same error. I'm not very intelligent so I need basic instructions or link to a write up.

This is the actual error msg:

"One or more I2C/SMBus interfaces failed to initialize.
RGB DRAM modules and some motherboards' onboard RGB lighting will not be available without I2C/SMBus.
On Linux, this is usually because the i2c-dev module is not loaded. You must load the i2c-dev module along with the correct i2c driver for your motherboard. This is usually i2c-piix4 for AMD systems and i2c-i801 for Intel systems."

This might be beyond my comprehension. I'm using a intel system.

Sheepish Goy on Reddit Ask Obvious Question in Linux Forum - Misinformation Ensues     (libreddit.bus-hit.me)

https://libreddit.bus-hit.me/r/linuxquestions/comments/1cf0blg/is_linux_infiltrated_by_cia/

This is a good example of how the conversation is controlled. Look at the downvotes and crap answers that get all the traction and upvotes. Obvious who the "bots" (accounts run by an "agenda" rather than a "person") are in this case.

The question is about the (((CIA))) control of Linux and the user gives an example. Linux goats must know at this point that systemd, elogind, wayland, and these new package delivery systems (snaps, flatpak) all attack vectors on the linux userspace security. On top of that, who the hell knows what's deep in the kernel code itself (this Rust language for example is another "progressive" hack) and let's not get started about the obvious hardware backdoors.

The Link does not go directly to reddit but another place to obfuscate social media information and tracking.

Looking at SalixOS. Anyone tried it before?     (Linux)

Its a stable fork of Slackware, and I like the underlying philosophy.

I only have experience with Mint, and I don't actually know what I'm in for. I mostly use my laptop to browse the internet, light office stuff, and to play old video games.

Any current/former slackers here?

Bullshit wtf! It seems somehow my laptop's hdmi is slower than it's laptop display?     (Linux)
submitted by CoronaHoax to Linux 6 months ago (+1/-0)

I bought an expensive laptop with 4k and I was expecting performance when watching videos etc. I've already got a performant desktop that is doing great / playing smooth.

I got my laptop working and played a video I played earlier while it was still running windows and it ran like shit (now the laptop runs linux). I played the video again on the desktop and I could swear that although some scenes weren't perfect, they were indeed pretty dang smooth. I went back and forth between the laptop and desktop on the same monitor and definitely the laptop on some portions of the video was unacceptably shitably choppy. It seems that it's during times of significant large visual movement.

I ran the video again with mpv, as I had to compile vlc without vaapi support, and indeed now on the laptop's screen the video is smooth as butter, even better than the desktop on the monitor. However when the laptop was set to back mpv with the monitor, it was back to noticeable shit chop.

Wtf is my expensive ass laptop cheaping out on their hdmi hardware! wtf!

This is pissing me off because for this damn thing to be worth my time it needs to be a full desktop and laptop replacement. wtffffffffff

So I spun up an instance of Fedora 41 (Cinnamon Desktop)     (Linux)

And I have to say that I'm quite pleased with it! I was on Debian before that, and Fedora is impressively more stable. Rock solid network connectivity, a constant issue when I used Debian...

If you're new to Linux, give Fedora a try...

Fucking linux desktop original content     (Linux)

Trying to get rid of shitdows for the nth time.

Imaged my windoze to VM and another disk just to be safe.

Installed Artix community edition. After reboot it won't boot. Stupid grub keeps trying to use wrong NVME. Found a fix grub command. Now panels keep resetting every restart, display scaling is total shit, arranging displays looks like that old windows bug where the windows tile all over the screen, random things don't work, printer won't work, sound keeps resetting to the wrong output every restart. Dumped it.

Installed devuan because everything works with debian. LiveCD couldn't find my network card. Plugged in a usb ethernet that worked, thought it would install drivers. Didn't install shit. Now I'm running some shit fuzzy resolution on a 4k monitor trying to figure out how to install AMD driver and dumped it. Fuck that.

Try void for 2nd time. New hardware. With previous PC it wouldn't work with my sound card. Forgot these fuckers make you manual partition. Figure it out watching some dude on youtube. Looking really nice. But I can't get many programs to work and scaling is shit and something else made me dump it.

Go for PCLinux. Yay, a WIZARD. I fucking love wizards and do not like manual partitioning in a terminal tool. Press next a few times, stuck on Please wait for 30 minutes. Dump it.

Gentooo lets goooo. Wait wtf their livecd is a fucking terminal and I have to reference a guide to get this motherfucker installed. Dumped it.

Do research. Apparently kde plasma isn't absolute shit at scaling. Install artix plasma as I've gotten furthest with this OS toward a usable system. Half the repos now won't update. Some key mismatch shit. Can't get the apps I want. Spend 2 hours finally find some copy paste about fixing keychains in pacman and reinitializing the fucker. Well now it fucking works like it should have out of the box. What shit is this that so much trouble is necessary to pacman? Got yay to work with arch aur. Installed most of the stuff I want. Now the problem is the fucking printer. I installed it through the control panel and selected the correct driver but it still not working.

I'm afraid I may not have the strength to persevere through this printer installation task.

Anyone know why a mysql query call to simply select count(*) would take 9 seconds for 2.3 million entries?     (Linux)
submitted by CoronaHoax to Linux 11 months ago (+0/-0)
2 comments last comment...
I moved a db from a personal machine to a VPS, mariadb to mysql, and now -

select count(*) from table_name;

calls are taking like 9 seconds.

Also a lot of other calls that used to take like 0.5 seconds now take 10. They're all calls that are under an index...

Can anyone please tell do you know are there any settings that are likely to alleviate this? I'm finding it hard to believe just 2.5 million records are causing this much slow down just because it's a VPS (4 gb ram, 2 cpus, should be respectable enough hd access)?

Got a bunch of ~/media/music/bunchashit/bunchafolders or ~/bin/bunch/different/script/folders ?

'
#!/bin/bash

search subdirs by ext. and create symlinks.
echo ""
echo "========================================"
echo "Run from dir above target dir. Important!!"
echo "Target dir is where sym links will be created"
echo "
========================================"
echo ""

read -erp "Enter target dir: " dir


for i in $(find . -name "sh" -o -name ".py" -o -name "*.pl" | grep -v sandbox); do ln -s $PWD/$i $dir/$(basename $i); done
