possiblylinux127 , to linux in How to install .deb on Pop_OS

Sounds like there is a dependency issue. Why are you trying to install an external package? Are you sure it isn’t a flatpak or native package?

Worse case install it inside distrobox with the podman backend.

@the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net avatar

No, there’s a rule that the coach can’t talk to the qb something like 10 seconds before any given play.

House flies live several weeks. I think you’re confusing fruit flies, which have a much shorter lifespan.

You can look at the app list on join-lemmy.org. Ignore the big scary warnings on there about non foss apps unless you want a foss app. Most of the proprietary apps are just made by hobbyists who don’t want the world to see their spaghetti code.

SteveTech , to linux in What is the proper way to install Vulkan drivers in Linux Mint 21.3 with an AMD GPU? (I think this issue is solved)

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?

My computer has an AMD Radeon R2 Graphics. It seems like both the radeon and the amdgpu modules are installed but the kernel driver in use is radeon. I’d show the output of “vulkaninfo” but it doesn’t seem to show the full thing, is there a way I can get it to show the full output?

SteveTech ,

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

vortexal OP ,
@vortexal@lemmy.ml avatar

Did I do it correctly? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1” After saving, is there anything else I have to do it get it to work?

SteveTech ,

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

But otherwise that config looks correct.

Ok, do I need to restart my computer now?

SteveTech ,

Yep!

vortexal OP ,
@vortexal@lemmy.ml avatar

Ok, it seems to have worked as the game I was using for testing seems to be working fine.

Although, I keep getting the error message (WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.), is that to be expected?

SteveTech ,

Epic!

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

Yeah it seems like it’s working now.

IphtashuFitz , to nostupidquestions in Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?

I never would have thought of it but I recently saw a novel use of DNS to exfiltrate data from a compromised server.

My employer takes security very seriously. Our public facing web servers are very thoroughly locked down, or so we thought. We contract with companies like HackerOne to perform penetration testing etc. One of their white hat hackers managed a remote command attack, and copied data off of the server via a string of DNS queries.

Suppose the hacker owned the domain example.com, and he had his own authoritative nameserver for it. He just ran a series of commands that took, for example, a password file, and ran DNS queries for line1.example.com, line2.example.com, line3.example.com and so on for each line in the file. As a result the log file on his DNS server collected each line of the password file as it responded to each query.

IceVAN , to linux in What is the proper way to install Vulkan drivers in Linux Mint 21.3 with an AMD GPU? (I think this issue is solved)

This is the setup I use in debian, it might give you a hint (no PPAs, standard repos):

IceVAN ,

You need to activate contrib, non-free, non-free-firmware repos: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.listYou should have something like deb http://URL_OF_THE_REPO DISTRIBUTION main, you need to add contrib non-free non-free-firmware to the end of those lines like: deb http://URL_OF_THE_REPO DISTRIBUTION main contrib non-free non-free-firmwarethen you do sudo apt update and try installing the packages again.

vortexal OP ,
@vortexal@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t know if I need to do that because Vulkan seems to be working now but is that correct? My sources.list file is empty and it states the wrong version of Linux mint. Should I actually edit “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list”, seeing that that has the actual list of repositories?

@QuarterSwede@lemmy.world avatar

Oh boy I have a few:

PC
Another Lifeless Planet (and me with no beer) was fantastic for a text adventure.
Testdrive pushed graphics hard
Wolfenstein 3D was incredible at the time being surpassed by Doom then Quake.
Day of the Tentacle for its high quality cartoon animation opening sequence.
Unreal on a Voodoo graphics card was something else.
HL2 of course with its physics (ragdoll) engine and jump in polygons.
Doom 3 for its advance in polygon count again.

NES
Super Mario 3 was a leap believe it or not. Blew people away back then.
Battletoads had huge sprites which wasn’t a NES thing until they did it.

SNES
Fzero and Mode-7 graphics
Donkey Kong Country, its CG was nuts at the time
FFVI’s snowfield theatrics
Starfox

Sega
Earthworm Jim had a great art style and pushed edgy games
Another World/Out of this World for that opening and style was amazing and still holds up!

N64
Super Mario 64 Japanese demo at Babbages in a mall before the US demos came out. That was mind blowingly smooth.
Waverace 64 for its water effects.
Ocarina of Time for its cinematic 3D story telling and fun gameplay.

Neogeo
Metal Slug was incredible in the arcade for all the sprites moving on screen and action. So much fun still to this day.

PlayStation
Resident Evil was incredible for the atmosphere.
Tomb Raider for more detailed 3D environments.
Warhawk also stood out for its great use of the analog dual joysticks.
FFVII for its cinematic story telling and FMVs.
Wipeout for its fast paced racing and great OST.
Grand Turismo for its photo realism simulation and physics.

Dreamcast
Seeing the demo of Sonic Adventure blew my mind since it was so fast and colorful. The whale jumping after Sonic as you raced away was burned into my brain.

Gamecube
Wind Waker, still love that art style and loved the exploration that was enabled by sailing the sea. Didn’t feel that again till BoTW.

Wii
Super Mario Galaxy for its outstanding OST and gameplay.

Playstation 2
Grand Turismo 3
Little Big Planet had incredible art direction and unique play style

Wii U/Switch
Breath of the Wild. What an intro to a new world! They absolutely pushed the hardware to the limits on the Wii U.

Born in 1980. Seeing the original Mortal Kombat arcade for the first time at a smoke-filled bowling alley that when I was in 7th grade was pretty awe inspiring.

Aside from that playing Wolfenstein 3d for the first time was really trippy.
