That’s weird. Whenever I’ve had gpu drivers fail the environment didn’t come up and I would be left at a terminal.

But, they shouldn’t need rescue. The issue is no nvidia driver, but you can still login from the text terminals. Ctrl + Alt + F3, F4 etc etc. In fact when the window environment fails to load it should drop back to terminal.

I have a 3080, so 590 is fine for me. But, I’m sure the legacy one is a dkms. But the process of installing that should be done as part of the install. E.g. you install, reboot

What does lspci -k show for the card in terms of Kernel driver in use, and kernel modules? Also what does dkms status say?

If the module is installed and showing in dkms status and showing as used in lspci -k, it should be available for desktop environments.

I do agree in terms of effort when things go wrong though. I remember when I was a lot younger and I had no problems just sitting in front of my keyboard finding whatever the latest problem is. Now, I want to be doing things with my PC.

But, a bit of debugging might be worthwhile before doing a new installation.

Did you also uninstall all of the components of the new driver as per the arch site?

Otherwise it’s investigate from the tty as to what driver, if any is in use for the gpu pci device.

Agreed. I just don’t think we (the plebs) can influence our governments in this case. Appeasement is going to be the way most go I’m afraid.

I think in the case of refugees from the US (which I guess is the implication here?). I think most countries won’t accept that. Not because deep down they don’t (or won’t soon) recognize that there might be good grounds for it. But that they don’t want to poke a stick in the direction of what is a very volatile government over there right now. Especially one that has shown they’re not above just invading another country for their own ends.

The UK will especially be unlikely to do so bearing in mind our current leader has done his best to avoid any criticism of the administration and is generally going out of his way to appease the US president. Our next leader (oh I wish I could say it won’t be him) is more likely to side with the US administration AND make asylum harder to claim.

This seems to also be happening a lot in Europe right now. Hence why I say, you cannot count on us. Militarily we can’t do a damn thing, our leaders are doing their best to keep crosshairs pointed elsewhere, and things are only likely to get worse and not better over here.

Yeah. We have our own problems. I’m not going to argue about that at all. But if you want to place our problems even close to the same level as the US situation, I don’t think you’re being rational.

Everything about the State’s attempt to rewrite the entire narrative is a lie. The worst you could say is she was being a nuisance to ICE agents. Last I checked, that didn’t carry a death sentence.

This needs to be a wake up call to all of you (US citizens living in the US).

Yeah, I’ve seen this video and sure the driver was at their worst causing a nuisance to ICE. I’m not convinced that should be crime worthy of a death sentence by an “agent” that thinks he’s a street judge.

What I saw entirely contradicts the narrative the US administration is trying to pedal.

The ICE agent was at no point under threat. Rather than move out of the way of the vehicle (which was turning away from him anyway), he stayed where he was and drew a firearm. It’s clear this move was designed to make them stop and get out of the car. Instead she (and I think in quite a valid way) panicked and tried to drive away. He fired, THEN moved out of the way and fired more. A clear, calculated move on his part.

Objectively it’s an attempt to completely rewrite the narrative to say she weaponized the vehicle, that the agent was run over, or that he was in fear for his life. These are all very obvious lies.

Now, I’m an outsider here. But I have to say this does make me think of other dictatorships and autocrats of the past and present. They need citizens to fear for their lives when they encounter agents of the state. This was true in Germany of the gestapo, and they want it to be true in the US of ICE. If they are successful in protecting this agent. If this does not go to trial (and it MUST be a State trial, for obvious reasons) then I fear this is the reality you will face.

The rest of the world cannot help you. We can only watch in horror as events like this unfold.

Are you sure it was dot pitch and not dot clock?

Dot pitch on a crt might make the image look bad (trying to draw onto the shadow mask) but I doubt it would damage it.

Setting an invalid dot clock could damage some crts. But most of the modern (read from mid 90s on) would just go to the power save mode when they got a clock they couldn’t use. The warning did still remain on the xfree86 configuration guides though.

Showing my age perhaps.

I was typing on a phone. So might well have been that. But thanks, I might well have actually typed the wrong one anyway.

I’ve read about people getting black market powders for certain GLP-1 agonists for some years now. They problems with the unregulated versions begin with unreliable concentrations causing serious complications, to outright being the wrong drugs. They were generally delivered as concentrated powders you needed to prepare yourself.

So I’d be pretty weary about trying any non licensed versions of any drugs let alone those you need to self inject.

That’s a tough one. But if they’re going to operate in a way where they don’t want Venezuelan authorities to know they’re there (I got the impression they were making a show of force so…) they do need to inform the atc of friendly countries operating nearby so they can ensure flight plans keep them apart.

But, I don’t know what (if any) procedures they have for this kind of thing. But to me it makes sense, you either close the nearby airspace (kinda makes it obvious something is going on), inform friendly atc so they can keep squawking and non squawking traffic apart. Neither just makes aviation extremely dangerous.

To the best of my knowledge the ads-b transponders operate with the same interface as previous transponders. That is they can be active, stand by or off. Commercial airliners should never turn them off in the air, but they do have the ability to.

For military aircraft this requirement is almost certainly only going to apply when in “friendly airspace” and at altitudes with commercial traffic. Especially when not on an operational mission.

For truly secretive missions they will likely get blanket clearances in friendly airspace to travel at specific altitudes so they can travel transponder off while avoiding the commercial traffic.

But I’m not an expert by any means.

More than 51 years if there’s one of those updates that will randomly decide to overwrite the UEFI removing your bootloader entirely :P
