Help with Custom EDID
  • Is edid/sony.bin your new EDID?

    Yes

    your new EDID? Does it revert back if you remove drm.edid_firmware all together?

    how do i do that?

    Here is the EDID file I decoded using edid-deode

  • Help with Custom EDID

    Edit: Solved, while changing EDID make sure to remove the old module first and reinstall it with the new EDID

    I have a faulty DP to HDMI adapter, that unfortunately never seems to parse the EDID data, so while connecting to a TV I used this guide and a 1920x1080.bin file from the internet and it worked, but unfortunately I was unable to use the TV speakers(I guessed the EDID file didn't specify that the device had audio out)

    Using a separate pc I extracted my TVs EDID.bin file and repeated the steps but unfortunately, it just doesn't work, its stuck on the old 1920x1080.bin(I can tell because it shows up as 'Linux Foundation 23'') The issue persists even after I delete the old .bin file from /usr/lib/firmware/edid

    I am using wayland

    Linux market share passes 4% for first time
  • I would equate the darkweb to that moniker and not the general clear web (that is at this point running on the infrastructure of just 3-4 companies, so its more like a choice between malls than individual vendors)

    I was imagining c2d.

    What?

  • Linux market share passes 4% for first time
  • Atleast i am acutely aware of what is phoning home(Unlike M$), I avoid G services like the plague, but whenever i am forced to use them they sit in a separate FF profile, I know what links what and who are in kahoots with whom: If you take the approach that going on the web is equivalent to waltzing in a big public market square, and apply the appropriate precautions, you can ensure you're late night pillow searches are never linked back to your G account.

    My hardware is atleast 13 Yr old at this point, and it runs the latest Linux kernel and the Gnome DE just fine, Video playback and the general Internet is just 'fine'; you can equate it to providing a mobility scooter to an old grandma who is mentally fit

  • Linux hits 4% on the desktop 🐧 📈
  • hey I try to be vegan for software, but a moderate and balanced diet is the objectively better lifestyle choice than forcing beans and grass down your throat, and producing enough methane to power 2 dutch ovens.(I am from a predominantly vegetarian culture, most of our meat dishes have only 10% meat in them, which I think is a good enough amount)

  • Gather the Fyrd rule
  • 1-2 thousands years from now, this would be featured in the weekly AI generated '10 mysterious artifacts from the 2000's meme culture' video, along side the 9gag meme rock or 'the josh fight ground'

  • Is it worth buying the Mac keyboard for a dedicated Linux PC instead of the windows one?

    What is your personal preference based on experience? I Assume because Mac is Unix and Linux is Unix based, it would be more suited, but I have no personal experience with the layout. I am willing to try something new if i hear enough merits for it, and I also find the windows layout somewhat inadequate(The grass is greener on the other side /s)

    I dailydrive Gnome, I am not a programmer, but i am a power user

    (On a tangent: Why is gnome so restrictive, it feels like its missing a ton of UI features that are trivial without a boatload of 3rd party extensions that break every update; why doesn't Win+Shift+number launch a new instance, every other DE does, why doesn't it?; I don't use KDE because I just don't like it, I feel Gnome could be way more if it just natively integrated the extensions ).

    aesthetically the windows key annoys me and i hate putting stickers on keyboards; I like how the mac layout looks(My very minimal experience with an in store mac-book has cautioned me away from the fisher-price OS so i don't know if it is intuitive to use)

    Passive OCR and other 'AI' tools on the Linux desktop

    With modern CPU's supposedly shipping with 'AI cores': How long do you think it will take for a proper opensource, privacy respecting productivity tools(Something like whatever M$ copilot is supposed to be?) to be available?

    Personally, i would love to see something like 'Passive' OCR integrated with the display server: the ability to pause any video and just select whatever text(even handwritten) there is naturally like it was a text document without any additional hassle will be really useful Also useful in circumventing any blocks certain websites put on articles to prevent text from being copied

    Or an AI grammar checker running natively for LibreOffice.

    What are some AI tools you think should be developed for desktop Linux?

    Why is SYSRQ Disabled on most consumer distributions?

    I use fedora on a 11ish year old laptop(It had decent specs for its time).

    recently i encountered an issue while playing a 11 hour webm video(celluloid flatpak) i had downloaded off youtube,

    the screen froze, I could still hear the video sound playing, but the system wasn't responding to any keyboard presses(Wouldnt switch over to TTY2-4),

    I had heard about REISUB and tried it, but it obviously didnt work, after about 2:30 mins the system unfroze and i was shuffled Across numerous TTY's and the video closed as i had invoked CLTRL+Q

    I am not here for a resolution to my problem The issue is reproducible by loading numerous instances of videos whose combined watch time Exceeds about 7-8 hours

    I am more curious as to why SYSRQ is disabled and are there any consequences in enabling it(Security Wise)?

    Possible virus?(Firefox)

    I opened firefox After about an hour of the system being in standby and in theSponsored Links row there were 2 new entries

    http:/ /bom07s30-in-x03. 1e100. net/ (I dismantled the URLs to prevent accidental clicks)

    pnbomb-ac-in-x0e.1e100

    I right clicked and searched in Google and it showed up as this

    pnbomb-ac-in-x0e.1e100 Sponsored it disappeared after a while, just to be sure I ran sudo lsof -i and noticed firefox was connected to this url

    maa05s15-in-x03.1e100.net

    I am not sure if am infected or this is just a glitch(I obviously didn't click on the links)

    Can this be replicated with opensource software?[p2p file transfer over thunderbolt, and extremely low latency Video and game streaming (no encoding)]

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/10454803

    > Further if this technology is open-sourced; can it be extended for use cases beyond that(Dual Motherboards sharing Compute power with low latency for working on a single process?); I know such solutions probably exist for servers and enterprises but i am talking about amateurs who don't have 10K lying around for specialty hardware: If possible this seems like a low cost solution to mess around with

    The production quality has increased dramatically but they are algorithmically being punished!

    The best LTT video i have seen in a while; It has everything

    • New and emerging experimental tech
    • Showing off progress in opensource standards
    • Nice Eli5 on what this is, why is it important, who are the stakeholders and what this means for the future
    • Linux
    • classic ltt humor and jank(they got euro truck simulator working on RISC-V running linux FFS)
    • all nicely polished and presented.

    Unfortunately by the time it took to get this video out the algorithm had already penalized them for missing their regular upload schedule as evidenced by such a low view count;

    its a shame i really like their content(especially the newer videos which have a good coat of polish)

    but it seems like they will either have to go back to their rapid upload schedule or come up with a new format that is commercially profitable and critically satisfactory.

    Weird error copying MKV file

    I have some locally stored media i was copying between drives and one mkv file gave this error error reading 'video1.mkv': Input/output error and only copied 176/256 MiB; the copied file plays the video only up to a certain point before abruptly closing; I can play the original file fine albeit there is a noticeable hitch at that point but the video plays normally till the end I have tried zipping the file but it fails to zip it I tried copying it using ffmpeg but it also gave the same error I can copy the file in the same directory but trying to copy the copy also gives the same error I tried copying to a variety of different storage drives and it still gave me this error any ideas?

    Possible to import Flatpak libraries

    I recently swapped my hdd with an ssd and performed a fresh install of fedora, When I went to reinstall my flatpak application it is requiring me to install gigabytes worth of dependencies and libraries, I am in a Data crunch and I still have the old files; is it possible to just copy the dependencies over and which files am i supposed to copy? (Old installation was also fedora with same username and passwd)
