Wow, that’s less than $200 per … uh … that’s a good deal!

I think you’d have to modify the edid, since you’re setting a custom refresh rate, not a hidden one.

I’ve use wxEDID to force enable VRR before.

if they use AMD that’s better on linux, they don’t need to know what a GPU driver is.

Same goes for Intel, unless they need to use OneAPI.

Epic!

I’ve never seen that on modern AMD stuff that uses radv, but I’m sure it’s probably fine.

Yep!

Oh whoops yeah there is, run sudo update-grub.

But otherwise that config looks correct.

Cool, you’re going to have to enable Sea Islands (CIK) support for amdgpu. You should just have to add radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 to your kernel parameters. You’re probably using GRUB so to do that you’ll need to run sudo nano /etc/default/grub to edit it’s config file, then add the above to the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (keep it in the quotes, but space seperated from the previous parameter). Then reboot and hopefully Vulkan works!

Alternatively, there’s a section on the Arch Wiki for this, it should work fine for Mint too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU

Could you post the output of vulkaninfo including any errors that it might also print.

If it’s not shown, what GPU do you have?

Also run lspci -k, is your GPU using amdgpu or the old radeon driver?

If you want the latest version of most python apps, I’d recommend using pipx, since it’ll create python virtual environments for each app installed, and won’t mess with system packages.

WARNING KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu'

That’s related to hardware virtualisation, like the other person said, check that it’s enabled.

WARNING Using --osinfo generic, VM performance may suffer. Specify an accurate OS for optimal results.

This is related to --os-variant=generic, I don’t remember what Home Assistant OS is based off, but find out and pick an option from virt-install --os-variant list, otherwise use linux2022.

ERROR internal error: Could not run '/usr/bin/swtpm_setup'.

I’m not sure why it’s attaching a TPM, but I believe --tpm clearxml=true should remove it.

I jailbroke my 4th gen iPod a few months after Apple dropped support for it, I feel like that breathed a lot more life into it.

To me that does sound like your initramfs just needed recreating, since un/installing a module will do that usually.

how do i do that?

Probably by editing your GRUB config or whatever bootloader you’re using.

Here is the EDID

Thanks, that should be enough I’ll have a look when I’m free. Also something like get-edid > monitor.bin would probably be easier for me though.

Edit: I’ve had a look, I can’t see any issues. Both checksums validate correctly and it advertises audio support. As you’ve probably seen in edid-decode, I’d expect it to show as ‘SONY TV’ (or at least for KDE ‘Sony SONY TV’ I believe).

None of my monitors (which are all DisplayPort) have audio, but one appears in the audio settings, so I’d say DisplayPort itself does support audio.

Is edid/sony.bin your new EDID? Does it revert back if you remove drm.edid_firmware all together?

Also, do you mind sharing your EDID? I had to edit mine to get VRR to work, so maybe there’s something invalid in yours. It does contain serial numbers though if that’s a problem.

For electron, if ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT and electron-flags.conf don’t work, you can also add --ozone-platform-hint=wayland to the end of Exec in each .desktop file (also works on Chromium, but not CEF AFAIK).

There’s also --ozone-platform-hint=auto if you find yourself switching between X11 and Wayland.

but I can’t figure out which of the “0000:00:whatever’s” correlate to my Bluetooth card

lspci will list your PCI devices and their ID, but if it’s a combo WiFi & Bluetooth card, they usually use PCIe for WiFi and USB for Bluetooth.

Just curious, what parts aren’t open source? At a glance it seems like they’re working on supporting self hosting and I couldn’t find any binaries.

There’s also an open source BTRFS driver for Windows.

I can’t wait for it to be added to activate-linux!
