Is there a known BIOS issue with the 5600xt?I am mildly annoyed.
I want to replace my 1060 with a 5600xt,but most of the oems use Windows for VBIOS updates. The only one I saw in stock at Newegg that uses a dos USB was from Powercooler, but I'm not familiar enough with the brand to decide if it's worth shelling out for their card.
My alternative would be to get a card that uses Windows for the update, put it into my wife's desktop, do the update on both settings then move it into my box. That's an annoyance I don't want to deal with if I can help it.
Updating to the faster clocks and memory speed.
What an insider joke lol.
Jesus that's what I get for typing on my phone. Yes, powercolor.Assuming "Powercooler" is actually Powercolor, that is a decent enough brand. I'd be doing thorough research on 5600xt flashes though and probably staying away (or just running old slow bios anyway). There was a gamersnexus video with oems unhappy about none of these cards being properly validated for the higher speed bios and having to just deal with the higher expected failure rate, along with this change happening while everything was shut down for Chinese new year.
I've always avoided flashing due to the risks involved. It can't be done at the driver level?
I Stan for Gigabyte and Asus, never had problems 👍🏼Jesus that's what I get for typing on my phone. Yes, powercolor.
I'm always wary of brands I've not tried or have read mixed reviews about. I stay away from msi and evga out of personal habit and experience, leaving Gigabyte as my usual go-to for most components and Sapphire as the only one I've personally used much for AMD in the past.
Worrying news about Feral. "Game Porting Firm Feral Interactive's Days Could Be Numbered With Compulsory Strike-Off"
article said:Fortunately, it turns out the first gazette notice for compulsory strike-off was brought about as an accounting snafu. So that will hopefully be addressed soon for avoiding this issue with the UK Companies House and Feral Interactive can continue delivering quality Linux game ports. Original article below.
Okay so this thing where bpm loses focus when closisng a game... Good thing we have so many shells to choose from. I just went through several.
Bpm dont work right:
Budgie - too bad because the look is great.
Gnome
Vanilla Ubuntu's gnome
All gnome?
Works fine:
Kde
Xfce
Im going to try xfce for a minute and see how it does with games. Last i tried was long ago and i would gets lots of tearing. If im not into it... I guess its back to kde which will make it the only shell im aware of that really works for me.
env SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 /usr/bin/steam %U
.Mate losses focus too. What I did to fix it was replace the command on the launcher withenv SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 /usr/bin/steam %U
.
Check if it works with the other DE too.
There is a native linux version for citra available as a flatpak, no reason to use lutris in this caseWhat are people's experiences with Lutris here, particularly for emulation? I've had great luck running Cemu with it, and was hoping to try using Citra as I've been having issues getting it to run standalone. However, it seems that you have to install a separate launcher for each 3DS, then just point it to your files, which seems like more overhead than other emulators I've tried (also Citra didn't work in the end anyway).
I finally went out and hobby-built myself a full linux PC.
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1
Kernel Version: 5.4.23-1-MANJARO
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor
Graphics Card: AMD RADEON 5600XT
Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM
This one was hell of a fun build. Cost me a penny but I've been meaning to do it for a very long time. I decided to give Manjaro a try because I keep seeing people sing its praises. I'll use this as a development machine, I think. Time for me to learn some coding and maybe finally make the Visual Novel I've been meaning to input into an engine for a long, long time now.
Anything I should do on a fresh Manjaro install? Would love some pro-tips or resources if anyone has any!
I believe it started with Pamac installed, I tried searching for Octopi and it's not installed. I opted for KDE, so maybe that is why? I'm not sure!You can take a look here and try some of these tips: https://averagelinuxuser.com/10-things-to-do-after-installing-manjaro/
I definitely recommend installing pamac and ditching octopi. But I pretty much just use sudo pacman -Syu in terminal for all my updates.

Awesome! Thanks for linking that 10 first things to do article as well, I never would have thought to tool with the SSD options or swap.I think the latest version of Manjaro KDE uses pamac by default, so you don't have to worry.
What emulator are you using for Virtua Fighter? Where did you find the image? Does it run fine? (yes, I am in dire need of playing VF)Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Edit: Also Granblue Fantasy Versus works, if anyone was thinking about it.

The emulator is RPCS3 and it seems to run VF5FS perfectly from what I played. You can actually download game files directly from PSN to your PC fairly easily, but you have to use a modded ps3 to extract the license file.What emulator are you using for Virtua Fighter?

Which desktop environment are you using?anyone know a quick and easy way to disable copy on select. I don't want to just synchronize clipboards, I want selecting to not copy at all to the primary clipboard.
If this isn't possible that's fine, but it would be a huge help if I could get rid of this feature.
KDE!
Assuming you're using klipper, there's an option there. Otherwise I'm not sure what is causing it since none of the installs I've used of it do this by default.
I'm using Manjaro KDE, with no custom changes from any defaults. The option in klipper just decides whether or not to sync the two clipboards, which I already have off. I don't mind the paste as middle click default, but it automatically copying anything I select on that clipboard is kind of annoying.Assuming you're using klipper, there's an option there.

Oh I see what you mean. The xorg copy to primary is what's happening, yes. I usually don't have this problem because I have klipper running but not syncing, so the copy to primary still happens but I only get the selection I purposely made.I'm using Manjaro KDE, with no custom changes from any defaults.

Looking into it, this appears to be a common default on lots of Linux distros, as it's baked into X, I just don't know if there is an easy way to edit it or turn it off without borking selection in general...
That's awesome. Thanks for helping me figure it out!Oh I see what you mean. The xorg copy to primary is what's happening, yes. I usually don't have this problem because I have klipper running but not syncing, so the copy to primary still happens but I only get the selection I purposely made.
It may also be how manjaro handles xresources by default, since I was still using my settings from arch when I setup manjaro a while back.
EDIT: Griff I checked my work desktop this morning because I just remembered this thread from last night. If you configure klipper , or in the case I seem to have running, just "clipboard" in your system tray, there's an option in General to "Ignore selection" that disabled the copy on selection from entering the KDE clipboard entirely. I tested with it on and off and just double clicking random text was making it enter the clipboard (without my realizing, no less) and ticking this option makes it no longer do this. I'm also realizing this MAY help me with phantom selections I've had to mash CTRL+C furiously to get to my clipboard, haha.
Man, I love the "dual clipboard" of Linux / X / KDE, where highlight/mid-click does one thing and ctrl+c/ctrl+v does the other.
Yep I use it all the time, the primary is dedicated to cli apps, while the clipboard is used for gui apps (where by gui I mean mostly firefox)
For Firefox, perhaps that is middlemouse.contentLoadURL: false in about:config? search "middle" and take a look at the options.That's awesome. Thanks for helping me figure it out!
I just don't have much a use for it, and it kept causing me issues. I kept accidentally opening new tabs when middle clicking just outside an open tab in Firefox, instead of closing tabs like I generally wanted it to. I just don't have a need for middle click to be anything other than basic navigation and autoscroll. I can use commands to paste into the CLI, so it ends up just being redundant for me.
It's false for me as well.For Firefox, perhaps that is middlemouse.contentLoadURL: false in about:config? search "middle" and take a look at the options.
None of mine are non-default, the above is false for me. But I do remember a horrible time in the past where middle clicking in Firefox and "missing my target" would instead load what was usually a bad url from my copy buffer. Middle clicking in for me in Firefox does nothing now if I miss, but it does open/close tabs and I can use it for quick copy paste when constructing comments and middle-clicking to the post reply textbox on Era etc.
Yes, definitely lots of work still going on. Right now the focus is on core technology itself rather than distributing it, but we intend to get back to that in the future. I wouldn't expect much more movement on Debian-based Brewmaster at this point, however.
