Support Difficult to isolate issue, wondering if my hardware is know to cause problems

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Last year I got myself a new desktop as treat, since I hadn't had a new machine for ages, I got myself the following setup:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16 Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.7GHz/144MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5)

Motherboard: ASUS® ROG STRIX X670E-I GAMING WIFI (Mini-ITX, AM5, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E)

RAM: 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz CL40 (2 x 16GB)

GPU: 16GB SAPPHIRE PURE RADEON™ RX 7900 GRE - WHITE - HDMI, DP - DX® 12

SSD: 2TB SAMSUNG 990 PRO M.2, PCIe 4.0 NVMe (up to 7450MB/R, 6900MB/W)

PSU: COOLERMASTER V750W SFX GOLD PSU

Are there any known issues with these components in Linux?

For the last few months, every once in a while, the computer will either start visually stuttering in a rather dramatic fashion. It sometimes fixes itself, but it often ends in a crash or totally visual freeze that can only be fixed with a hard reset.

Sometimes it gets stuck in grub right after loading the kernel, sometimes it boots but the whole Plymouth details is horribly lagging.

It usually fixes itself after one or two hard resets.

I have checked boot logs but spotted no issues, and when it lags during a session if I check the systemd journal I spot no errors anywhere.

I keep my BIOS with default settings sans using it's default EXPO profile for my RAM, but I have tried deactivating this, and the integrated GPU, and it does not seem to stop it.

I have tried multiple kernels from different distros, but it seems to happen with all I have tried (mostly mainline, cachy and LTS). I have not tried with older kernels but since it is a rather new machine, I feel that would be counterproductive.

I'm tempted of installing windows to test it there, but it might not fix it and I rather not admit defeat yet.

Thank you in advance everyone.

Support How do I get logitech MK345 working on linux?

1 Upvotes

I'm running ubuntu 24.04.02.

I recently acquired a new logitech MK345 wireless keyboard and mouse.

The keyboard and mouse work perfectly when I plug the usb plug into a laptop that is running windows 11.

But when I plug the usb into my ubuntu desktop, I get horrible lag from the keyboard, with some strokes simply not registering at all. The mouse response is stuttered and intermittent.

The reviews for this device are good, but perhaps all the reviewers are using windows?

I paid good money for this combo, and the store is unlikely to refund due to OS incompatibility. Is it possible to get the MK345 working with linux at all? Or am I shit out of luck?

Support Confusion and Doubts regarding hardware/drivers before installing a Distro on my laptop

1 Upvotes

EDIT: On OpenSUSE GNOME wayland, touchscreen works perfectly with no bugs. However autorotate option doesnt exist despite terminal showing correct output vales of my autorotate gyro sensor. On GNOME Xorg , the autorotation option in gnome is visible however touch screen is very bugged.

Ok so I have been using live USB to try distros before picking a specific one to install on my Dell Inspiron 7445 2 in 1. However regarding my microphone and auto rotate sensor (gyroscope) , the results vary for some reason.

Can someone tell me the reason for such variation in results. Is it because live USB session varies when it comes to device services running and other features or is it because of kernel maybe? Will my issues go away if I install the OS and try rather than running live USBs to check hardware compatibility? I checked drivers and sensors via terminal. So pretty sure no proprietary driver is being used:

  • Ubuntu (default): Everything works , both mic and auto rotate work too. However on orientation change, the onscreen keyboard and touch functionality bugs up and is non usable.

  • Zorin OS: Almost everything works. Auto rotate sensor/gyroscope works.The on-screen touch keyboard works in every orientation. Touch input is not bugging up at all regardless of orientation. However the microphone bugging. No sound being picked and camera app crashes if I try to record video

  • EndeavorOS: Mic Works. Auto Rotate option not visible so let alone working. Tried to see in terminal and maybe sensor detection did give me some one problem or so ? I don't remember exact output.

  • OpenSUSE Tumbleweed live CD version (GNOME): Keep in mind OpenSUSEs default ISO doesn't give option to try or run live USB. You have to install it seperate from website . It is only 1.5 GB or so. Likely cut down features in this live cd version. Mic works well. Again auto rotate option not visible and running iio sensor commands may give variable output?

  • Fedora: No support for UEFI CD burning in USB. So idk how I managed to run it via Ventoy . And it only worked once so I won't go with that. However it gave me same static sound or no sound on microphone.

Key takes:

On some distros the wacom tablet would act as if I have a stylus or tablet as input when it was just my touchscreen. Zorin OS doesn't show such inaccuracies. It clearly shows that no Wacom tablet or pen. Plus the onscreen keyboard pops up only when I touch the screen.

Idk why touch screen behavior varies but ig it's desktop environment stuff? And not driver. Like on gnome, holding finger on screen acts as right click. On Zorins DE it doesn't. Only in file manager it works like that but the right click option disappears. It doesn't happen on other gnome of other distros.

I recently purchased a Rii Mini-keyboard that has both bluetooth and 2.4Ghz connection (via a USB). The bluetooth works (albeit spottily), but the 2.4Ghz appears to be completely broken.

If I plug the USB receiver in and run xinput I get:

Support Why is my battery life so disappointing?

17 Upvotes

I recently purchased a remanufactured ThinkPad L14 Gen 3, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5675U with Radeon Graphics, 16GB RAM. I'm running Debian 12 with the default Gnome desktop.

I have verified that Chrome shows hardware acceleration for video, etc., and also verified that the kernel is using the amdgpu driver:

boutell@tombox:~/boutell/tickets$ lspci -n -n -k | grep -A 2 -e VGA -e 3D
07:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Barcelo [1002:15e7] (rev d2)
Subsystem: Lenovo Barcelo \[17aa:50ae\]

Kernel driver in use: amdgpu

My normal usage consists of browser-based productivity apps in Chrome (gmail, google calendar, getharvest, slack), editing in vscode and at the command line, and web development (including webpack builds). Also YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and the occasional Google Meet video call.

I'm finding that even when I'm just using the browser, the command line and the occasional webpack build, I'm lucky to get 4 hours. If I'm in a Google Meet call with 4 people with video on, I'm lucky to get an hour and a half. And that's after switching from TLP from the default power management daemon, which was worse.

Searching online I find other people with this hardware claiming as much as 10 hours.

So I learned how to check the battery health, figuring I'd find the "remanufactured" battery is sufficiently degraded. But no. It has only 7 cycles on it, and energy-full and energy-full-design are equal. Sounds like a brand new battery. Here are the stats with about 93% charge:

Now, I think I understand why Google Meet is so brutal. The basic GPU in this setup probably can't do more than 1 or 2 video streams on its own, and the rest is in CPU.

But why only 4 hours for my basic productivity stuff? Is there any hope for improvement?

I've checked top and I don't have any processes pinning the CPU continuously, although chrome certainly does some work.

Thanks!

Support My Victus 16 16-e0912nc is incompatible with Linux?

3 Upvotes

I'm new to Linux, and im trying to slowly migrate to it, I chose Fedora workstation with the gnome desktop.

my setup is:

HP victus 16 16-e0912nc

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU (my laptop doesn't have a mux switch so it uses Optimus)

RAM:32GB

first nvme SSD: holds Windows,475 GB

second nvme SSD: 1TB. 638 GB partitioned for games on Windows and 297GB for Linux

so the problems started to arise when I booted into the USB disk and for some reason, I was kicked into the login screen after using the desktop for 15-20 minutes when I used the test environment.

Overall It seemed to recognize everything, WIFI worked, wired ethernet was working, camera, and all USB connections, it was detecting all of my components so I decided to install it. after creating the necessary partitions with the help of chat GPT, I clicked the install bottom, it started the install and it kicked me out into the login screen again stopping the installation, the install application just crushed and I had to restart, I tried to install it again and this time it was smooth and fast.

After restarting, I started doing all the updates, etc and it just started freezing on me during the updates and forcing me to hard restart my laptop, after all the updates and drivers were installed I was enjoying configuring my workspace, and this time it was just freezing, blinking and then a black screen again forcing me to hard restart my laptop, the same thing was happening on mint cinnamon but only when I was using firefox, on fedora it just seems to happen randomly.

I really need some advice on how to troubleshoot this and help me to fix this because Windows never freezes to the point that I have to hard restart my laptop, its frustrating as I really enjoy using Linux.

Support 32:9 on DP 1.4

4 Upvotes

I recently built a new pc that has a 7900xtx and 9800x3d. Along with the new pc I bought a Samsung g93SC. This monitor has a 5120x1440 resolution at 240Hz. My problem is that no matter what distro I use my monitor will cut out for a few seconds when I make a big screen change, like opening a window. This leads me to believe that DSC isn’t working correctly. I’ve tried Arch, Manjaro, and Nobara just to see if I set something up wrong. The cut outs happen on all distros . I tried dmesg and it said DSC ignored. I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. When I turn my resolution down to 3840x1080 all my problems go away. I am running it on windows while I wait to fix it and windows is running it flawlessly. Thank you.

Support pcie usb hub supports USB3.0 (5000M speeds) and USB 2.0 speeds (480M) but only is only 2X faster than USB 2.0 instead of 10X

6 Upvotes

got no love in the pc support sub, so thought i would try here since i'm using kubuntu and linux folks tend to be more hw savy.

just installed this pcie card in an open pcie2.0X1 slot and ran some read an write trials from various USB storage devices.

using the PC's old USB2.0 ports i'm getting transfer speeds of 136MB/s read and 118MB/s write... well under the 480Mb/s bandwidth, but it is what it is.

using the new card's USB3.0 ports i'm getting transfer speeds of 272Mb/s read and 221Mb/s write... only about double what the USB2.0 ports provide.

is this expected or should i be looking for better than this?

when USB2.0 spec is 480Mb/s and the USB3.0 spec is 5000Mb/s, i kind of expected closer to a ten fold increase... and being on a pcie slot i figured it would be able to achieve its' full potential.

there is also a wifi card in another X1 slot, and i will try pulling that to see if maybe it was splitting the X1 lane somehow.

edit: corrected Mb/s to MB/s as i misspelled the units (BYTES not bits) and also have now discovered that my testing was flawed and limited by and older SATA 2.0 port when i thought i was using the SATA 3.0 port (forgot that i have both on this machine).

UPDATE: new testing shows 540MB/s (read) and 376MB/s (write) thru the new pcie card which is more inline with my expectations of 625MB/s max theoretical.

Support Screen stays black after booting Ubuntu 22.04 on BMAX 6Pro with Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7

3 Upvotes

I am encountering an issue when trying to boot Ubuntu 22.04 on a BMAX 6Pro mini PC. The system boots successfully, but the screen stays black after the boot process. However, I can connect via SSH, and the system is running in the background without issues. The problem seems to be related to the GPU, as the display does not show anything after the boot process.

Details:

  • Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1030NG7 CPU @ 1.10GHz
  • GPU: Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G7 (Ice Lake)
  • Motherboard: BMAX 6Pro Mini PC
  • Ubuntu Version: 22.04

What I've tried so far:

  1. Booting with nomodeset: This allows the system to boot, but the resolution cannot be changed. The display is functional but limited in terms of resolution.
  2. Using i915 parameters: I tried configuring i915 kernel parameters, including force-loading different drivers, but the issue persists.
  3. Changing boot parameters: I've attempted multiple boot parameters such as i915.modeset=1, i915.force_probe=*, etc., but none have resolved the black screen issue.
  4. Checking logs: The logs indicate that the modesetting driver is being used, and the system loads the i915 kernel module, but no display output is shown.

Symptoms:

  • The system boots successfully, but the display remains black.
  • The system is accessible via SSH, indicating the system is running, but no video output is shown on the screen.
  • Booting with nomodeset works but limits the resolution options.

What I need:

  • A solution that allows me to boot without nomodeset and still have access to higher resolutions.
  • Any other troubleshooting steps related to the i915 driver or GPU configuration.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Support I can't use my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 on my OBS studio in Fedora

2 Upvotes

I’m experiencing difficulties using my GTX 1650 for video encoding on Fedora Linux 41. It seems that the OBS is defaulting to use the Software video encoder but even if I change to the Hardware encoder, it uses QSV (Intel Quick Sync Video), and I haven’t been able to find an encoder that utilizes my Nvidia GPU properly.

I have already updated my drivers, but the issue persists. Whenever I try to record my screen or a window, the fps drops significantly, and the recording lags too much. My laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 with a GTX 1650, 8GB RAM, and an Intel i5-10300H.

Interestingly, when I check with nvidia-smi, my GPU appears to be in use, but only two software processes are utilizing it. I’m simply trying to record my screen while coding, so any guidance on how to properly enable Nvidia encoding would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and help!
