rkta | alsa is not listing my pc speaker. How can I change the sound level? It's very loud. | 11:19 |
---|---|---|
hagbard | If alsa knows it, then you can set the volume with alsamixer. | 11:20 |
hagbard | Or do you mean the Mainboard beeper? | 11:21 |
hagbard | Its loudness can't be set. | 11:21 |
rkta | the mainboard beeper. Iirc I had it as an alsa channel on other devices, but not in this one. | 11:30 |
hagbard | I think it can only be an alsa channel, if it's not an actual classical physical beeper, but is emulated by the sound chip/driver. | 11:32 |
rkta | that makes sense | 11:35 |
hagbard | An actual pc-speaker would just be a tiny bit of hardwired hardware, with no way to influence its level by software. | 11:35 |
leitz | Trying to update a node, and getting "release file for .... is not valid yet". How do I either remove that repo, or is there another option? | 12:54 |
hagbard | Is maybe your clock way off? | 12:56 |
hagbard | that would explain getting a date in the "future" | 12:57 |
hagbard | I there's a problem with a specific repo mirror, choosing a different one would help: https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt | 12:59 |
leitz | yup, thanks. On boot, it didn't have internet connectivity. Rebooting, to see if ntp starts up on its own. | 12:59 |
leitz | Date was still off, chrony was not installed. Fixed the latter, which fixed the former, and the upgrade is in progress. | 13:19 |
leitz | It's an old Dell E6500, having issues. I have to look at an i801_smbus transaction timeout error, and figure out why trying to look at Firefox settings locks up the computer. | 13:20 |
leitz | If I want to blacklist a module, but there is no /etc/modprobe.d directory, is it okay to create it? | 14:47 |
debdog | leitz: I'd say yes. | 14:57 |
leitz | looks like I'm blind, it was there. I wrote blacklist.conf, but to no avail. Do the modules need to be in their own files? | 15:00 |
leitz | And hey, debdog, thanks! My chat screen still showed the last time you answered a question for me. :) | 15:00 |
debdog | no, one .conf can contain more than one module. just to be certain, you have a "blacklist $module_name" and a new line in there? | 15:03 |
debdog | I did? | 15:04 |
leitz | debdog, yeah, it was a few weeks ago. | 15:05 |
leitz | So, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf didn't stop the boot error. Neither did single files nor putting "install <module> /bin/true". | 15:06 |
leitz | I'm not sure if it's related, but on build it asked for a "regulatory.db" for some non-free hardware. No idea how to go about that. | 15:07 |
devuanconsumer | Hi guys. I installed devuan on a new system with a ryzen 7950x processor with an integrated GPU. I have the following issues: 1) no temps are showing up 2) small resolution due to not being able to find graphics drivers for it on synaptic. I tried sudo sensors-detect without success. I also tried installing the packages without success: amd64-mirocode, firmware-amd-graphics, sudo sensors-detectand running What is the repository to try new | 15:15 |
devuanconsumer | kernals? | 15:15 |
devuanconsumer | should I try the backports or the experimental? | 15:17 |
divad27182 | with new devices... you might need to wait a few months for linux to implement things... | 15:18 |
devuanconsumer | ryzen 7950 was released at the end of september | 15:19 |
devuanconsumer | so must i wait 6 months or a year? | 15:19 |
divad27182 | possible | 15:19 |
divad27182 | there should be something, but you might be missing some bits for a time. | 15:19 |
divad27182 | and you might need to wait longer for it to be in a distribution kernel | 15:21 |
devuanconsumer | should I simply try both backports and experimental? | 15:22 |
divad27182 | checking Linux 6.0.11 for "7950" now | 15:22 |
devuanconsumer | how can I do what you're doing | 15:22 |
divad27182 | Well, in this case, I downloaded the 6.0.11 kernel a day or so ago, and unpacked it. | 15:23 |
divad27182 | now I CDed into the source tree and ran: find . -type f -exec grep 7950 {} + | 15:23 |
divad27182 | download from www.kernel.org | 15:23 |
devuanconsumer | how do i install it? | 15:24 |
devuanconsumer | im a newb lol | 15:24 |
devuanconsumer | compared to u | 15:24 |
divad27182 | you might just try googling "linux" and your CPU model | 15:24 |
divad27182 | for the sensors... You might try looking to see if you have anything in /sys/class/thermal/ | 15:27 |
devuanconsumer | ok I will look into it | 15:32 |
leitz | How do I totally blacklist i2c_i801 and i2c_smb modules? Can I just remove the i2c packages? | 15:33 |
divad27182 | four instances so far of "7950" in sources, at least one more expected. None relevant. | 15:33 |
divad27182 | you can blacklist a module by putting a blacklist line in a file matching /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf | 15:34 |
leitz | divad27182, so far that's not working. | 15:34 |
divad27182 | I think I've seen that once or twice. I think you might need to remove (or rename) the files in /lib/modules/.... | 15:35 |
divad27182 | leitz: I think there is a requirement the filename end in .conf in this case. | 15:52 |
devuanconsumer | @divad, I looked inside the sys/class/thermal and there are 31 components there it looks the same as on my pc where sensors are detected | 15:53 |
divad27182 | assuming some where thermal_zone*, those should report temperatures. | 15:54 |
divad27182 | not sure where else to look... | 15:55 |
divad27182 | hard drives may require another package to report their temps.... at least, they used to. | 15:55 |
devuanconsumer | how do I install this https://github.com/ocerman/zenpower | 15:56 |
devuanconsumer | for devuan | 15:56 |
devuanconsumer | i'm a newb | 15:56 |
devuanconsumer | please check out this link | 15:56 |
divad27182 | there are 3 other pieces of hardware called a "7950" that I've seen in the kernel | 15:56 |
divad27182 | with caution.... | 15:57 |
divad27182 | that appears at first glance to be a kernel mod/patch... | 15:58 |
divad27182 | so the first step is to get a working kernel source build.... | 15:59 |
divad27182 | well... and as that hasn't changed sine 2020, I would not expect it to work for your CPU. | 16:00 |
divad27182 | on the other hand, if it is a matter of IDs, you might be able to whitelist something | 16:00 |
devuanconsumer | ok so I restarted with the new 6.0.0.0 driver from synaptic package after adding experimental and backports to sourceslist and it booted up with more sensors | 16:07 |
devuanconsumer | now i am seeing tctl and tccd1 and tccd2 | 16:07 |
divad27182 | devuanconsumer: In any case: you asked how to install that. The ubuntu instructions have a good chance of working (ubuntu could be callsed a sibling distribution to devuan). | 16:07 |
devuanconsumer | they seem to be the cpu temps | 16:08 |
divad27182 | seems possible. | 16:08 |
divad27182 | newer kernels support newer CPUs. | 16:08 |
devuanconsumer | thank you for the help man | 16:08 |
devuanconsumer | this is good enough | 16:08 |
devuanconsumer | i don't care about the resolution apu for the 7950 | 16:09 |
devuanconsumer | it sucks its only 1000x700 | 16:09 |
devuanconsumer | because no graphics driver | 16:09 |
devuanconsumer | but thats fine | 16:09 |
divad27182 | well | 16:09 |
devuanconsumer | i just want to see the temps for this mining rig | 16:09 |
devuanconsumer | they're for mining :) | 16:09 |
divad27182 | that might just be a matter of find the right driver to install | 16:09 |
devuanconsumer | i want to overclock | 16:09 |
devuanconsumer | i already tried all of them in the synaptic manager | 16:09 |
divad27182 | or even just parameterize it right | 16:09 |
devuanconsumer | even though shitty resolution, i can play 4k videos while mining | 16:09 |
divad27182 | synaptic just installs packages. | 16:09 |
divad27182 | now load the right module into the kernel... or parameterize it right | 16:10 |
devuanconsumer | i need practical instructions lol | 16:10 |
divad27182 | well... | 16:10 |
divad27182 | check out the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:11 |
divad27182 | it may tell you about your video system. | 16:11 |
devuanconsumer | ok | 16:12 |
devuanconsumer | is there a command i can run | 16:12 |
devuanconsumer | i don't remember | 16:12 |
divad27182 | make sure your monitor is better than the resolution you are seeing, as the card/OS may not be willing to do better than the monitor | 16:12 |
devuanconsumer | my monitor is definitely good | 16:12 |
devuanconsumer | display port 1.4 and hdmi 2.0 | 16:13 |
divad27182 | I think there is readedid, but I think that tells you about the monitor. | 16:13 |
leitz | divad27182, I had already added a blacklist.conf to /lib/modules.d | 16:14 |
u-amarsh04 | my /etc/X11/xorg.conf just has the following 4 lines: | 16:14 |
u-amarsh04 | Section "Device" | 16:14 |
u-amarsh04 | Identifier "Radeon Cape Verde" | 16:14 |
u-amarsh04 | Driver "amdgpu" | 16:14 |
divad27182 | You could try gvidm and see what it offers for resolutions | 16:14 |
u-amarsh04 | EndSection | 16:14 |
divad27182 | leitz: I think it may be modprobe.d not modules.d | 16:14 |
u-amarsh04 | the text in quotes on the Identifier line doesn't really matter | 16:14 |
u-amarsh04 | and my /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf blocks radeon as I use amdgpu: | 16:15 |
u-amarsh04 | blacklist radeon | 16:15 |
divad27182 | devuanconsumer: What u-amarsh04 is saying is probably a good solution for you. | 16:16 |
u-amarsh04 | but also, I build my own kernels | 16:17 |
devuanconsumer | i am only using the integrated graphics on 7950x | 16:17 |
devuanconsumer | no radeon graphics card | 16:17 |
devuanconsumer | no discrete graphics card | 16:17 |
devuanconsumer | no nvidia graphics card | 16:17 |
divad27182 | didn't amd buy radeon? | 16:18 |
u-amarsh04 | that 7950x apu should still use the amdgpu module | 16:18 |
devuanconsumer | which one is that | 16:18 |
u-amarsh04 | AMD bought ATI | 16:18 |
devuanconsumer | what package? | 16:18 |
devuanconsumer | in synaptic | 16:18 |
divad27182 | not packages. | 16:18 |
devuanconsumer | what module? | 16:18 |
divad27182 | edit files, maybe reboot. | 16:18 |
devuanconsumer | specific instructions please :) | 16:18 |
leitz | divad27182, you're right, I just mistyped. | 16:18 |
u-amarsh04 | amdgpu is a kernel module, should be all kernels over the last several years | 16:19 |
divad27182 | so put a line reading "amdgpu" (no quotes) in file /etc/modules | 16:19 |
divad27182 | then put the four lines u-amarsh05 showed into /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 16:20 |
u-amarsh04 | and make sure that you have the package: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu installed | 16:20 |
divad27182 | yes, then do "modprobe amdgpu", then restart your X server. | 16:20 |
devuanconsumer | how do i restart x server | 16:21 |
divad27182 | might be enough to logout and back in. | 16:21 |
divad27182 | might need to "kill" the server. | 16:21 |
divad27182 | might need to reboot. | 16:21 |
divad27182 | for a newb, if not too inconvenient, I would say reboot. | 16:22 |
u-amarsh04 | yes, when I log out of the graphical desktop, the desktop manager restarts the X server | 16:22 |
u-amarsh04 | if you are still having issues, checking /var/log/Xorg.0.log may help | 16:23 |
devuanconsumer | ok let me try | 16:25 |
divad27182 | I have another thought about those sensors. You said you had installed "sensors-detect". Did you run "sensors-detect"? It doesn't try to detect sensors just because you've installed it. | 16:33 |
u-amarsh04 | will be idling, after 2am here | 16:40 |
divad27182 | 10AM here - need to get breakfast. | 16:41 |
devuanconsumer | Here is my log info u-amarsh04 https://pastebin.com/9XUtuc5d | 16:42 |
divad27182 | did you get the lines entered into /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 16:50 |
divad27182 | (The pastebin doesn't show any evidence of "amdgpu") | 16:54 |
devuanconsumer | ok great now i busted my computer | 17:05 |
devuanconsumer | after rebooting with all the fixes | 17:05 |
devuanconsumer | it's asking for "gklogin 01" | 17:05 |
devuanconsumer | "gk01 login:" | 17:06 |
devuanconsumer | how do i fix this :/ | 17:06 |
devuanconsumer | i did all of this : /etc/X11/xorg.conf just has the following 4 lines: | 17:06 |
devuanconsumer | Section "Device" | 17:06 |
devuanconsumer | Identifier "Radeon Cape Verde" | 17:06 |
devuanconsumer | Driver "amdgpu" | 17:06 |
devuanconsumer | EndSection | 17:06 |
devuanconsumer | <u-amarsh04> and my /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf blocks radeon as I use amdgpu: blacklist radeon | 17:06 |
devuanconsumer | divad27182> put a line reading "amdgpu" (no quotes) in file /etc/modules | 17:06 |
devuanconsumer | divad27182: and u-amarsh04: please help | 17:07 |
divad27182 | ok... that much is promising. | 17:07 |
divad27182 | did you <u-amarsh04> and make sure that you have the package: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu installed | 17:07 |
devuanconsumer | yes | 17:08 |
devuanconsumer | it was already installed | 17:08 |
devuanconsumer | in the etc/modules | 17:08 |
devuanconsumer | what was the file name | 17:08 |
divad27182 | OK. login | 17:08 |
devuanconsumer | i added one | 17:08 |
devuanconsumer | i don't understand how to login | 17:08 |
devuanconsumer | "gk01 login:" | 17:08 |
devuanconsumer | how? | 17:08 |
divad27182 | that is the login prompt, text mode variant. | 17:09 |
devuanconsumer | so how do i login though | 17:09 |
devuanconsumer | i don't know lol | 17:09 |
divad27182 | you enter your username. Then it prompts for password | 17:09 |
devuanconsumer | ok before i do that | 17:09 |
devuanconsumer | put a line reading "amdgpu" (no quotes) in file /etc/modules, what was the name of the file suppose to be for this | 17:09 |
devuanconsumer | i added a file for modules.d | 17:09 |
devuanconsumer | named amdgpu.conf and added amdgpu | 17:10 |
divad27182 | actually, the filename is "/etc/modules" | 17:10 |
divad27182 | no .d | 17:10 |
divad27182 | no subdirectory. | 17:10 |
devuanconsumer | lol | 17:10 |
divad27182 | just a simple list | 17:10 |
divad27182 | in any case, you need to get logged in, go find /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 17:11 |
divad27182 | and see what the errors are | 17:11 |
divad27182 | why X failed to start | 17:12 |
devuanconsumer | well | 17:12 |
devuanconsumer | i logged in and it didn't login to desktop | 17:12 |
devuanconsumer | it continued in the text mode | 17:12 |
divad27182 | right. No X -> no desktop. | 17:12 |
devuanconsumer | how do i get desktop? | 17:12 |
divad27182 | start X. | 17:12 |
devuanconsumer | do i type start X? | 17:12 |
devuanconsumer | "start X" without "" | 17:13 |
divad27182 | which means first: find out why X did not start. | 17:13 |
divad27182 | so: no desktop for now. | 17:13 |
devuanconsumer | so what do i type in the text mode | 17:13 |
divad27182 | try: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 17:13 |
divad27182 | you need to look for lines with EE (or maybe FF) in the front | 17:14 |
divad27182 | Some will be problems, some not. | 17:16 |
divad27182 | (apparently it doesn't use FF... so just "(EE)" lines) | 17:17 |
divad27182 | probably near or at the end | 17:17 |
devuanconsumer | it says there's a parse error "section" is not a valid keyword in this section | 17:17 |
devuanconsumer | problem parsing the config file | 17:17 |
devuanconsumer | error parsing the config file | 17:18 |
devuanconsumer | no screens found | 17:18 |
devuanconsumer | this is for the xorg.conf | 17:18 |
devuanconsumer | > etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:18 |
divad27182 | ok. that file's syntax is painfully critical. | 17:19 |
devuanconsumer | can i edit the xorg.conf from the text line? | 17:19 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: note, sensors are in the package "lm-sensors" | 17:19 |
divad27182 | yes. What editor's do you know? and have installed? | 17:19 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: (you have to install that first then run sensors-detect) | 17:19 |
gnarface | for the xorg.conf try editing it with nano | 17:21 |
gnarface | that's probably the simplest choice | 17:21 |
devuanconsumer | ok but how do it get the terminal text to remove the command | 17:21 |
devuanconsumer | i mean to clear what i brought up | 17:22 |
divad27182 | q | 17:22 |
gnarface | q to exit less, also q to exit man pages; "man xorg.conf" for syntax details on that file | 17:22 |
gnarface | note letter-case matters in that file | 17:23 |
divad27182 | at this point.... you might be better off finding someone who knows linux to come in and help you. | 17:23 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: example amdgpu device section (note that the string in "Identifier" has to match the string in "Device" under the "Screen" section: https://paste.debian.net/1262835/) | 17:25 |
devuanconsumer | ok so i opened it with nano | 17:25 |
gnarface | the strings in VendorName and BoardName don't matter | 17:25 |
divad27182 | Does it match what you pasted before? | 17:25 |
gnarface | there's a bunch of other options but you probably don't need them right now | 17:25 |
divad27182 | or are there punctuation or spelling errors? | 17:25 |
gnarface | it has to be "Section" not "section" too, be careful | 17:26 |
divad27182 | right... "painfully critical" | 17:26 |
devuanconsumer | ok let me try | 17:26 |
divad27182 | case matters on everything not quoted. | 17:26 |
gnarface | well, case matters on some of the quoted stuff too like "amdgpu" | 17:27 |
divad27182 | true | 17:27 |
divad27182 | the amount of whitespace doesn't matter. The presence does. "End Section" is not the same as "EndSection" | 17:27 |
devuanconsumer | what am i looking for under man xorg.conf | 17:28 |
divad27182 | but it is OK to write: | 17:28 |
divad27182 | Driver "amdgpu" | 17:28 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: for xorg.conf you should read the whole thing, but ignore it for now just copy my example | 17:28 |
devuanconsumer | ok copy your example from the pastebin | 17:29 |
divad27182 | But in your case, I think you may have written "section" instead of "Section" | 17:29 |
gnarface | that's what it sounds like to me | 17:29 |
divad27182 | next obvious question: are you using xdm, gdm, kdm, or something else. Once you've edited and saved, you can do "invoke-rc.d xdm start" (or whichever other one you are using) to try to start the desktop. | 17:31 |
gnarface | or forgot to close a previous section or something like that | 17:31 |
divad27182 | I suspect only one section at this point. | 17:31 |
devuanconsumer | ok so i rebooted and it didn't work | 17:35 |
gnarface | checked the xorg log again, if you made any meaningful change the error will also be different | 17:35 |
divad27182 | OK. Login, read Xorg.0.log again | 17:35 |
devuanconsumer | ok | 17:35 |
divad27182 | The invoke-rc.d variant will be faster than a reboot, and leave you where you were if it doesn't work. | 17:36 |
gnarface | yea but it probably has to be restart or stop then start not just start | 17:36 |
devuanconsumer | the error is the same | 17:37 |
divad27182 | actually... you are right.... | 17:37 |
devuanconsumer | "Section" is not a valid keyword | 17:37 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: alright, you're gonna want to learn this stuff yourself eventually but if you put the whole xorg.conf in paste.debian.net i'll proofread it for you | 17:37 |
devuanconsumer | yeah im trying to learn lol | 17:38 |
devuanconsumer | i'm not sure how to put everything from xorg.conf in debian past if i only have textmode | 17:38 |
devuanconsumer | can't i just delete everything in xorg and reboot | 17:39 |
divad27182 | that could work | 17:39 |
divad27182 | assuming it was empty to begin with | 17:39 |
gnarface | it might work, but it might work without using the amdgpu driver | 17:39 |
gnarface | give it a try but you might end up missing out on hardware accel (the log file changes will make it obvious) | 17:39 |
divad27182 | right. You might not get the resolution. | 17:39 |
gnarface | if the log file still doesn't change after that you're probably looking at the wrong log file | 17:40 |
divad27182 | possible, but that would imply he is running multiple X servers | 17:40 |
gnarface | no if it's an upgraded system it could just be the change from running suid root to running as own user | 17:41 |
devuanconsumer | lol it worked! | 17:41 |
gnarface | it can have moved from /var/log/Xorg.0.log to ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log and left behind the old log | 17:41 |
devuanconsumer | i am learning haha | 17:41 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: check the log now to see if amdgpu shows up at all | 17:41 |
divad27182 | well... good luck | 17:43 |
gnarface | the best way to learn how to make a custom xorg.conf in your case is to read the man page for xorg.conf and the man page for amdgpu while looking at some examples in the wild that are known to work | 17:48 |
gnarface | (and your error log of course) | 17:48 |
gnarface | in my case it wasn't necessary to put the amdgpu module in /etc/modules but it was for several other modules for me so ymmv | 17:49 |
gnarface | you might also need a boatload of mesa libraries to make all the hardware accel work right | 17:49 |
gnarface | everything you need is in the repo though, just don't go downloading packages from 3rd party location | 17:49 |
devuanconsumer | ok here are the pastes | 17:51 |
devuanconsumer | https://pastebin.com/VL6TzN2W | 17:51 |
devuanconsumer | https://pastebin.com/gqc4TpvR | 17:51 |
devuanconsumer | one is for the log and the other the man xorg.conf | 17:51 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: sorry i don't trust pastebin | 17:53 |
gnarface | you're gonna have to either just /msg it to me here or figure out how to use paste.debian.net somehow if you want me to look | 17:54 |
gnarface | if your gui is up now it shouldn't be a problem | 17:54 |
devuanconsumer | ok do u prefer the paste.debian.net? | 17:57 |
gnarface | doesn't really matter but that'll be faster | 17:57 |
devuanconsumer | https://pastebin.com/VL6TzN2W | 17:58 |
devuanconsumer | https://pastebin.com/gqc4TpvR | 17:58 |
gnarface | that's still pastebin | 17:58 |
gnarface | if you /msg it to me you just have to wait a minute for it to come through due to rate limiting | 17:59 |
devuanconsumer | oops sorry | 18:01 |
devuanconsumer | lol | 18:01 |
devuanconsumer | my daughter is sick and i thought i copied and pasted it right | 18:01 |
devuanconsumer | https://paste.debian.net/1262838/ | 18:02 |
devuanconsumer | https://paste.debian.net/1262839/ | 18:02 |
devuanconsumer | here they are | 18:02 |
devuanconsumer | i also just added amdgpu to the etc/modules | 18:03 |
devuanconsumer | i didn't have that part right | 18:03 |
gnarface | ok, these are two identical pastes of the bottom of the xorg.conf man page, i already have a copy of it installed here so i don't need to see that | 18:03 |
gnarface | what i want to see is your actual xorg.conf attempt and the Xorg.0.log from before and after you deleted the xorg.conf | 18:04 |
gnarface | so that'd be 3 total links | 18:04 |
gnarface | if you don't have the older log still that's fine | 18:04 |
devuanconsumer | ok let me see | 18:07 |
devuanconsumer | i took a picture of the log before | 18:08 |
devuanconsumer | is there a website u trust i can add it to? | 18:08 |
devuanconsumer | this was my conf attempt Section "Device" | 18:08 |
devuanconsumer | Identifier "Radeon Cape Verde" | 18:08 |
devuanconsumer | Driver "amdgpu" | 18:08 |
devuanconsumer | EndSection | 18:08 |
devuanconsumer | oh i see pastedebian has a file | 18:09 |
devuanconsumer | feature | 18:09 |
gnarface | that was really the only thing in your xorg.conf? | 18:15 |
gnarface | no other lines besides that? | 18:15 |
onefang | Finally got JACK sorted out. The audio setup on my super desktop is complex. Though the last thing solved was "jiggle this cable a bit to get stereo out of that particular port". lol | 18:15 |
onefang | Now to try out all that wonderful audio and MIDI software. | 18:15 |
gnarface | onefang: you might want to disable "Auto-Mute Mode" in alsamixer if furnished, it can cause trouble | 18:16 |
gnarface | i had a problem with it triggering at the wrong time due to loose connections | 18:16 |
onefang | Haven't spotted that yet. | 18:16 |
gnarface | if jack takes over your alsamixer view like pulseaudio does, you'll have to make sure it's not running first | 18:17 |
onefang | Not using alsamixer anyway. | 18:17 |
gnarface | it would be a hardware feature exposed by the driver to alsamixer directly | 18:17 |
gnarface | it may or may not be furnished, but if you're not using a laptop on the go it's probably not worth it | 18:17 |
onefang | I have a Plantronics RIG mini mixer. | 18:18 |
onefang | I said "super desktop", this ain't no lappy. lol | 18:18 |
devuanconsumer | yes that was it | 18:19 |
devuanconsumer | how can i find out what the device identifier is for my APU using the terminal linux | 18:20 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: the "Identifier" field is arbitrary, you can pick whatever you want | 18:20 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: what is important is that it matches what's in the "Screen" section, which you don't have but you need | 18:20 |
gnarface | you don't need the whole xorg.conf anymore, you don't need any of it, but if you include some of it, there's a minimum of those two things: a valid "Device" section and a valid "Screen" section | 18:21 |
gnarface | without them, things should work but will probably fall back on the generic modesetting driver which is missing support many of your GPU's best features | 18:22 |
gnarface | support for* | 18:22 |
devuanconsumer | how do i figure out the valid screen | 18:23 |
devuanconsumer | lol | 18:23 |
devuanconsumer | :/ | 18:23 |
gnarface | hang on i'll just give you one | 18:23 |

gnarface | careful with multi-line pastes in this channel, you can get kicked by flood protect bot | 18:29 |
gnarface | better to use paste.debian.net for anything over 3 lines | 18:29 |
devuanconsumer | oops :/ | 18:30 |
devuanconsumer | here is my monitor : https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-curved-gaming-monitor-s2722dgm/apd/210-azzp/monitors-monitor-accessories | 18:30 |
devuanconsumer | I don't see anything about horizontal or vertical refresh rates | 18:31 |
devuanconsumer | Here is the Native Resolution QHD 2560 x 1440 (DisplayPort: 165 Hz, HDMI: 144 Hz) | 18:32 |
gnarface | stand by | 18:32 |
gnarface | it's under the support section | 18:33 |
gnarface | in a pdf, i found it | 18:33 |
gnarface | gimme a minute to type this up | 18:33 |
devuanconsumer | ok thanks you are the bomb | 18:35 |
devuanconsumer | I was looking up xorg.conf file examples on the internet | 18:35 |
devuanconsumer | and was thinking about trying some but i'll go with yours | 18:36 |
gnarface | are you using HDMI or DisplayPort? the refresh ranges are different | 18:37 |
devuanconsumer | hdmi for that one | 18:38 |
devuanconsumer | there is hdmi1 and hdmi2 | 18:38 |
gnarface | there's two? | 18:38 |
gnarface | you have two displays at once? | 18:38 |
gnarface | that does complicate things | 18:38 |
devuanconsumer | no i have one display, with two ports | 18:38 |
devuanconsumer | and am using the same display for my main computer and the ryzen 7950 | 18:38 |
gnarface | oh i see | 18:38 |
gnarface | ok, whew | 18:38 |
devuanconsumer | is that ok? | 18:39 |
gnarface | yea, try this then: https://paste.debian.net/1262840/ | 18:39 |
gnarface | wait, hang on that one isn't perfect | 18:39 |
gnarface | this one: https://paste.debian.net/1262841/ | 18:39 |
devuanconsumer | LMAO | 18:39 |
devuanconsumer | take advantage of the sections that don't matter lol | 18:39 |
devuanconsumer | ok so i copy that into the xorg.conf and reboot? | 18:40 |
gnarface | replace your current xorg.conf with that then reboot yes (reboot isn't actually necessary but easier to understand) | 18:41 |
gnarface | if it complains about it or doesn't work, just remove it again | 18:41 |
gnarface | it might want a ServerLayout section but we're trying without for now | 18:41 |
gnarface | some of the optional stuff you still sometimes want to use if you don't like default behaviors but i'm picky about these things | 18:42 |
gnarface | my own xorg.conf is ... exhaustive | 18:42 |
gnarface | here's your monitor manual by the way https://dl.dell.com/content/manual3890536-dell-s2722dgm-monitor-user-s-guide.pdf?language=en-us | 18:43 |
gnarface | you should download that pdf and keep a copy locally | 18:43 |
gnarface | if you switch to DisplayPort later you're gonna want it as a reference | 18:43 |
gnarface | in my experience auto-detect doesn't usually do this stuff perfectly so if you want optimal behavior you still have to be explicit about certain things | 18:44 |
gnarface | also you should install mesa-utils if you haven't already, because it'll pull in most of the critical hardware-acceleration librarires | 18:47 |
gnarface | libraries* | 18:47 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: ^ | 18:47 |
devuanconsumer | thank you. I am waiting for it to load. It's blinking with a _ | 18:47 |
gnarface | uh... none of this should have affected boot | 18:48 |
gnarface | is it still just stuck? | 18:49 |
gnarface | ??? | 18:49 |
devuanconsumer | yeah | 18:49 |
gnarface | sigh | 18:49 |
gnarface | you had a gui login setup? | 18:49 |
devuanconsumer | it just got stuck after I decrypted LUKS | 18:49 |
devuanconsumer | with password | 18:50 |
gnarface | this shouldn't have affected boot, but if your HDMI cable can't handle the max res it might have affected the GUI | 18:50 |
gnarface | what does ctrl+alt+f2 do? | 18:50 |
devuanconsumer | it prompts me to login through text | 18:50 |
gnarface | oh, well this really should not have changed anything | 18:51 |
gnarface | the boot process doesn't read this file | 18:51 |
gnarface | did you change anything else before rebooting? | 18:51 |
gnarface | if not, you're gonna need to backup the xorg log file and move the xorg.conf out of the way and reboot again | 18:53 |
gnarface | and i will need to see that xorg log to see what went wrong | 18:53 |
gnarface | first guess is your HDMI cable can't carry 2560x1440, i assume it's not one that came with the monitor? | 18:54 |
gnarface | i hope you have another boot disk around, like a live image or the installer disk or just even another machine you can write one from ... | 18:55 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: ^^ | 18:55 |
devuanconsumer | https://ibb.co/cTnNQqH | 18:56 |
devuanconsumer | here is a picture of the error | 18:56 |
devuanconsumer | on the log | 18:56 |
gnarface | sigh, don't trust that either, can you use imgur.com instead? | 18:56 |
gnarface | i have... reasons | 18:56 |
devuanconsumer | YES for sure | 18:56 |
gnarface | wait so you were able to log in after ctrl+alt+f2 or what? | 18:56 |
gnarface | i didn't see you say how you got past the blinking "_" | 18:57 |
devuanconsumer | what other websites do you trust? i can't upload to imgur | 18:59 |
gnarface | note, imgur.com makes it seem like you have to sign up but you do not have to sign up | 18:59 |
gnarface | just click on the upload button on the front and it'll let you post anonymously | 19:00 |
devuanconsumer | yes i logged in to the text version | 19:00 |
gnarface | here do this | 19:00 |
gnarface | move the xorg log to your home directory | 19:00 |
gnarface | then move xorg conf to your home directory too | 19:00 |
gnarface | then reboot again and log in normally and you can just use paste.debian.net for the error as normal | 19:01 |
gnarface | make sense? | 19:01 |
gnarface | you might actually just be able to get the GUI up by running "startx" though after moving the xorg.conf out of the way | 19:02 |
gnarface | don't delete it, just back it up somewhere | 19:02 |
gnarface | a full reboot should not typically be necessary | 19:02 |
gnarface | but make sure whatever you do that you back up the log too so we can see it, because when you start the gui again it'll be overwritten | 19:03 |
devuanconsumer | https://imgur.com/a/BoxSFN8 | 19:03 |
gnarface | none of those are errors, that's all fine | 19:03 |
gnarface | scroll down to the bottom | 19:04 |
gnarface | you're looking for lines with (EE) in them, specifically | 19:04 |
devuanconsumer | ok | 19:06 |
devuanconsumer | it says no screen found | 19:06 |
devuanconsumer | screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section | 19:06 |
gnarface | hmm | 19:06 |
devuanconsumer | devices detected, but none match those in the config file | 19:06 |
devuanconsumer | no screens found | 19:06 |
gnarface | ok, stand by, revision 2 coming | 19:07 |
devuanconsumer | please check the log file for additional revisions | 19:07 |
devuanconsumer | so is the screen name incorrect? | 19:07 |
gnarface | you might just be able to delete the line: Identifier "Screen0" | 19:07 |
devuanconsumer | ok i can do that | 19:07 |
gnarface | try that while i work on a more complete config file for you | 19:08 |
devuanconsumer | i tried it and rebooted. It didn't work | 19:10 |
devuanconsumer | It loaded the text login screen | 19:10 |
gnarface | different error though right? what error? | 19:10 |
devuanconsumer | let me check | 19:11 |
devuanconsumer | it says problem parsing the config file | 19:12 |
devuanconsumer | no screens found | 19:12 |
devuanconsumer | error parsing the config file | 19:12 |
gnarface | ok, stand by, just cleaning up something based on my config | 19:12 |
devuanconsumer | you have a paypal? | 19:13 |
devuanconsumer | you've helped me a lot | 19:13 |
devuanconsumer | let me send you something ;P | 19:13 |
gnarface | https://paste.debian.net/1262850/ | 19:14 |
gnarface | here, try this config | 19:14 |
gnarface | and actually when you try that, REMOVE the "amdgpu" from your /etc/modules file, i'm really not sure it should be preloaded like that, i vaguely remember it could cause problems | 19:15 |
gnarface | but use this xorg.conf verbatim | 19:15 |
gnarface | you should not have needed to blacklist "radeon" either just fyi | 19:15 |
gnarface | i can't be sure that won't cause problems either | 19:16 |
gnarface | but at least this xorg.conf file shouldn't have any parse errors or missing sections | 19:16 |
devuanconsumer | ok so i'll undo all the changes they had me do and copy your xorg.conf | 19:16 |
gnarface | yes | 19:16 |
gnarface | did you install mesa-utils already? | 19:16 |
devuanconsumer | i will if its not on boot up | 19:17 |
devuanconsumer | let me try | 19:17 |
gnarface | i am not sure what all changes you made, don't uninstall anything, just remove the blacklist of radeon and the preload of amdgpu | 19:17 |
gnarface | we're trying to match my working systems here as closely as possible | 19:18 |
devuanconsumer | no other changes made | 19:19 |
devuanconsumer | i left the synaptic packages default (AMD/Radeon) | 19:19 |
devuanconsumer | its booting now | 19:19 |
devuanconsumer | oops | 19:19 |
devuanconsumer | i mean my computer is loading just barely going to login to put changes in xorg | 19:20 |
devuanconsumer | do i need to have mesa-utils-extra installed? | 19:28 |
devuanconsumer | what about firmware-amd-graphics | 19:28 |
devuanconsumer | mesa-utils was already installed | 19:28 |
devuanconsumer | after this i reboot | 19:28 |
gnarface | you do need firmware-amd-graphics, i don't have mesa-utils-extra should not be necessary... other stuff you might be missing is just for some games (vulkan libraries might not be present by default but "mesa-utils" should have got you everything for most opengl and video i think) | 19:29 |
gnarface | if you have mesa-utils and firmware-amd-graphics i think none of the other missing mesa stuff should affect xorg just coming up right | 19:30 |
gnarface | it would just be for like wine or support for certain video players/codecs that might be missing in addition to that | 19:31 |
gnarface | i think you're good to reboot | 19:31 |
gnarface | if i'm wrong the xorg log will let you know | 19:33 |
devuanconsumer | yes | 19:33 |
devuanconsumer | it's saying that i need it while loading stuff | 19:33 |
devuanconsumer | ok let me install and try again | 19:34 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: here's the ones i have installed, ignore versions (i'm on unstable) and :i386 duplicates (they're for wine and steam) https://paste.debian.net/1262855/ | 19:37 |
gnarface | main parts of the base package names should be mostly unchanged for you though | 19:37 |
gnarface | particularly, make sure you have libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx, but i had assumed mesa-utils or firmware-amd-graphics would get those for you already | 19:40 |
divad27182 | still at it, I see. | 19:41 |
gnarface | yea :-/ always a struggle the first time | 19:42 |
devuanconsumer | fuck | 19:45 |
devuanconsumer | now it freezes and doesn't even login | 19:45 |
devuanconsumer | here is a picture | 19:46 |
devuanconsumer | https://imgur.com/a/9eMmze4 | 19:46 |
gnarface | hmm, you're on stable? | 19:47 |
gnarface | i wonder if you need the backports kernel and firmware | 19:47 |
gnarface | you might need a newer kernel and firmware to support this hardware | 19:48 |
gnarface | sorry you'll have to move the xorg.conf out of the way again but don't delete it | 19:48 |
gnarface | you got your install disk or a live cd to recover from? | 19:48 |
onefang | I did need the stable-backports kernel for my newish AMD graphics card. | 19:49 |
onefang | But I'm off to bed now. | 19:49 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: yea, seems likely you'll need the backports kernel and firmware-amd-graphics | 19:49 |
devuanconsumer | ok | 19:49 |
devuanconsumer | let me try loggin in with the old kernal | 19:49 |
devuanconsumer | and i do have a live disk | 19:49 |
gnarface | you should be able to access the harddrive from the live disk to move the xorg.conf out of the way | 19:51 |
devuanconsumer | q | 19:53 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: don't panic, i know it doesn't look like it but this is actually progress | 19:54 |
devuanconsumer | ok i logged back in | 19:57 |
devuanconsumer | with the old kernal | 19:57 |
devuanconsumer | now what | 19:57 |
devuanconsumer | i double check that i have all the same drivers installed | 19:57 |
devuanconsumer | and then in the mean time tell me how to install backports kernel | 19:57 |
gnarface | alright, we'll install the backports kernel for you, first paste.debian.net your /etc/apt/sources.list file just so i can sanity check it before i tell you what to add | 19:57 |
devuanconsumer | ok lol | 19:59 |
devuanconsumer | https://paste.debian.net/1262859 | 20:03 |
devuanconsumer | here it is | 20:03 |
gnarface | hmm, yikes, you got experimental in there, not sure how safe that is | 20:03 |
gnarface | but you already have backports it looks like so no changes should be necessary | 20:03 |
devuanconsumer | i'll remove it | 20:04 |
gnarface | just comment it out by adding a # to the start of the line | 20:04 |
devuanconsumer | ok sounds good | 20:05 |
devuanconsumer | now what do i do next | 20:05 |
gnarface | alright, try this, but before you say "Y" just paste here in channel what it says it's gonna install first: apt-get update && apt-get -t chimaera-backports --no-install-recommends install linux-image-amd64 firmware-amd-graphics | 20:06 |
gnarface | i wanna make sure it's gonna get the right thing | 20:06 |
gnarface | (we might have to actually pick a kernel by name specifically, that "linux-image-amd64" is just a meta-package, and i'm not sure it's defined for backports) | 20:09 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: ^ | 20:11 |
devuanconsumer | it just says | 20:13 |
devuanconsumer | the following packages will be upgraded | 20:13 |
devuanconsumer | linux-image-amd64 | 20:13 |
devuanconsumer | can i go into synaptic and install it there? | 20:13 |
gnarface | i am not sure, i don't use synaptic... does it have a way for you to see backports packages ? | 20:14 |
devuanconsumer | i can see linux-images there | 20:14 |
gnarface | need to know which versions | 20:14 |
devuanconsumer | which version must i install? | 20:14 |
gnarface | i don't know specifically but if you tell me the highest version shown i'll know if it's enough | 20:14 |
gnarface | stock is 5.10 and the backports one should be significantly higher than .10 | 20:15 |
gnarface | but you need to make sure you have the backports version of firmware-amd-graphics to match | 20:15 |
devuanconsumer | oh ok | 20:18 |
devuanconsumer | so there are 5.18 | 20:19 |
devuanconsumer | 5.19 | 20:19 |
devuanconsumer | and 6.0 | 20:19 |
devuanconsumer | which should i install? | 20:19 |
devuanconsumer | 5.19? | 20:19 |
gnarface | here, from the command line this search should work: apt-cache -t chimaera-backports search ^linux-image | 20:19 |
gnarface | i'm not sure if you're also seeing experimental in there, make sure it's just the backports one | 20:19 |
gnarface | i think all 3 should be new enough but i don't want you to also introduce extra instability | 20:20 |
devuanconsumer | https://paste.debian.net/1262862 | 20:21 |
devuanconsumer | here is the output | 20:21 |
gnarface | well looks like the latest is 6.0, so if you want that one use this: apt-get -t chimaera-backports --no-install-recommends install linux-image-6.0.0-0.deb11.2-amd64 firmware-amd-graphics | 20:22 |
gnarface | if you prefer 5.18 or 5.19 use linux-image-5.18.0-0.deb11.4-amd64 or linux-image-5.19.0-0.deb11.2-amd64 in place of the 6.0 one | 20:23 |
gnarface | ignore the rest of them, they're for other purposes | 20:23 |
gnarface | this change will require a reboot | 20:24 |
gnarface | but don't put the xorg.conf back on the first try, make sure it even boots first | 20:24 |
devuanconsumer | yeah so it looks like thats the one i have installed | 20:24 |
gnarface | you already had 6.0 installed?? what does "uname -a" say? | 20:25 |
devuanconsumer | i just booted into the 5.10 because with the firmware-amd-graphics it didn't boot | 20:25 |
devuanconsumer | after i added your xorg.conf | 20:25 |
gnarface | well keep in mind that if you tried to use the stable firmware-amd-graphics version with the backports kernel it might not have worked | 20:26 |
devuanconsumer | ah | 20:26 |
devuanconsumer | so i should uninstall it | 20:26 |
devuanconsumer | and then try it with your xorg.conf then | 20:26 |
devuanconsumer | i think i tried that already and it didn't work lol | 20:26 |
devuanconsumer | let me try again | 20:26 |
devuanconsumer | i'll uninstall the firmware-amd-graphics | 20:26 |
gnarface | well you should install the backports version of firmware-amd-graphics | 20:26 |
gnarface | it won't work without it either | 20:26 |
devuanconsumer | ok do i have to boot into the new kernel and do it like that? | 20:27 |
devuanconsumer | in synaptic? | 20:27 |
gnarface | it might seem to work by falling back on a more generic driver | 20:27 |
gnarface | won't matter if you do it with 1 or 2 reboots, give it a try | 20:27 |
gnarface | how new is this hardware exactly? | 20:27 |
devuanconsumer | the motherboard is from last month | 20:28 |
devuanconsumer | gpu ryzen 7950x is from september 2022 | 20:28 |
devuanconsumer | apu* | 20:29 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: lol i pushed the wrong button and accidentally shut my computer down, if you responded i missed it sorry | 20:33 |
hagbard | [20:28:48] <devuanconsumer> the motherboard is from last month | 20:37 |
hagbard | [20:28:58] <devuanconsumer> gpu ryzen 7950x is from september 2022 | 20:37 |
hagbard | [20:29:07] <devuanconsumer> apu* | 20:37 |
gnarface | wow i wonder if even the 6.0 kernel in backports isn't new enough? | 20:38 |
gnarface | (thanks hagbard) | 20:38 |
devuanconsumer | well the backports | 20:38 |
devuanconsumer | did enable the cpu temps | 20:38 |
devuanconsumer | that were available with 5.10 | 20:39 |
devuanconsumer | so thats a plus | 20:39 |
devuanconsumer | so i installed the amd firmware and it still didn't boot | 20:39 |
devuanconsumer | the latest is 2021 | 20:39 |
devuanconsumer | so i had to login with the old kernel | 20:39 |
devuanconsumer | im going to just try to install the mesa libraries you have | 20:39 |
devuanconsumer | and try it with the old kernel 5.10 | 20:39 |
gnarface | well do try with all those libraries but it's possible that you're gonna need an even newer kernel or firmware than what's in the repos, you're gonna have to consult some forums or mailing lists about that... this should be a known quantity just not one i know off the top of my head | 20:40 |
gnarface | i'm totally jealous of your gear though | 20:40 |
gnarface | with the generic modesetting driver you should be fine you just won't get optimal performance | 20:41 |
gnarface | they'll probably have an update out in a month or two | 20:41 |
gnarface | if you're into building kernels maybe there's source you can compile to make it work but that's gonna take more time than i have at the moment to walk you through that | 20:42 |
gnarface | sorry we didn't get it working though, i was hoping it'd be easy | 20:42 |
gnarface | there's nothing like seeing the desktop come up at full resolution for the first time on new hardware | 20:42 |
devuanconsumer | thanks gnarface | 20:48 |
devuanconsumer | i'm happy with the temps for now! | 20:48 |
devuanconsumer | thanks for helping me out! | 20:48 |
gnarface | no problem, let us know if you figure out the rest of it | 20:49 |
devuanconsumer | how did you get newer versions of the mesa files | 20:53 |
devuanconsumer | i dont see the same versions in synaptic package manager | 20:53 |
devuanconsumer | gnarface | 20:53 |
gnarface | devuanconsumer: oh, i'm on ceres (unstable) and i wouldn't recommend it but there's always the possibility it has something even newer than backports that might help you, it's just that usually even unstable is about 6 months behind reality and your hardware is so very new | 20:55 |
