could you elaborate?
i've been just dealing with this problem for an embarrassing amount of time now, and have gone through several version updates of the nvidia drivers with this problem persisting. i've also tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers with no change.
no unfortunately god's intended resolution is just slippin right into my arch install uninvited
that's worth checking - i don't have a spare DP cable on hand to test, but you may be onto something.
previously, i tried unplugging and replugging the cable on the PC end, as well as trying other ports, to no avail.
just now, i tried replugging the end plugged into the monitor a few times and was able to reproduce the resolution issue a single time. this honestly just confuses me more though, because why would it happen only one time out of several cycles doing the exact same thing?
i'm gonna get another cable just to be sure but that wont be for a few days at least.
while i appreciate the effort, this has no effect on my issue. also maybe worth noting, i am using grub but not nomodeset. i toggled it on just to see if it would do anything but the problem persists.
if you look at my xrandr output on the first boot, the main problem is that it cannot see any other mode except 640x480 and running xrandr --output DP-0 --mode 1920x1080 fails. i cannot change it using plasma's display settings gui or xrandr in any way - the only way i know how to get access to the other resolution/rate settings of that monitor is by rebooting.
what could cause one of my monitors to be stuck at 640x480 only on the first boot after a system update?
when i boot my computer after having run an update, my primary monitor (which should be at 1920x1080) is stuck at 640x480. interestingly, when i reboot and change nothing, it fixes itself until i run another update.
i'm on arch, using nvidia 555.58-2, on plasma 6.1.1-1. the monitor in question is DP-0 in the system info below.
what could be causing this and how can i fix it?
i've been having this issue for a while while kinda just dealing with it because it was something i could easily work around by booting my computer twice, but i'd really like to get it solved.

i like them and the texture doesn't bother me at all. i made them using some leftover yarn i had sitting, if i were to do a little more planning i might pick a different yarn since these are pretty fuzzy lol.
honestly i would probably prefer to not use any arm covers and stick with the original material on the chair, but it is far more comfortable than this:
my first project - desk chair arm covers
i just learned how to crochet and made these lil guys because the plastic/vinyl/whatever stuff on them was cracking and falling off. they're held taut by a drawstring which i just noticed is perfectly hidden by the angle of this picture, but i just used some extra yarn and tied it like shoelaces.
really simple and easy as a first project! i'm not sure if it is visible in the picture but i made the blue one second and i think it came out much better.
i got the idea from this video and used it as a general reference.
look man the picture is silly and the text says goat i really didnt think about it that hard
with all due respect i dont see what that has to do with humanoid goats with massive fucking titties
fuck yeah
fluids desperately needed some improvement and it looks like this will make things much nicer
[ALBUM] Mike & Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers (1996)
i just listened to grush (slapper btw, thank you @die4ever for posting it) and it made me think of another mike paradinas album i hadn't listened to in a while
fun fact when i first listened to this i did not connect the dots that "mike & rich" are in fact two of the greatest to ever do it, thought it was just some guys lol
also i love this album cover so much
i hear you - i've basically learned to avoid any topic or activity related to food with other people irl, which really sucks.
cooking is one of my favorite hobbies, can't talk to my friends about it anymore. hell, a close friend from high school completely stopped talking to me because we had literally one very reasonable and civil (from my perspective) debate about veganism. it's been years since i heard from them.
i got a single one of my close friends to even consider trying it, and i've been too anxious to even bring it up since last we spoke about it - a couple years ago now. they didn't seem to believe in the ethics/lifestyle of it and i'm terrified of learning that this person i care so much about has decided that their sensory pleasure is worth more than the lives of the animals they eat.
my experiences with speaking about veganism to the people that i care about is that it is a taboo subject; one that will make other people upset with me and potentially ruin relationships. and i think that fucking sucks.
yeah the hardest part of being vegan is interacting with non vegans. gotta love how the default response to veganism (you know that thing we do to try to better the planet and animal rights and shit) is to argue as if doing something about the issues you care about is a negative trait.
mfs always got something to say and love attacking a thing that as far as i'm aware is proven to be better for personal health, the environment, your wallet, and animals.
yeah fast and furious is basically anime and i love it for that
i really like how this is just about the games. no corporations, no awkward presenters on a stage, just a bunch of cool games i would not have known about otherwise.
thanks for posting this - got a few new games on my wishlist :)
the first time i read the title i thought you were just really excited
[ALBUM] Kodomo - Still Life (2008)
i listened to this for the first time yesterday and was stunned that i hadn't heard it yet because it is straight bangin the whole way through
[ALBUM] Lusine - A Certain Distance (2009)
holy guacamole an idm community
found lusine earlier this year, and man i love this guy's music. i haven't found a release of his that i don't like lol
my fav tracks off this one are two dots and tin hat
a couple audio questions - how to set audio levels automatically or via cli?
hi all,
i've been getting some comments that my mic is quiet so before i go looking for a new one, i thought i'd check to see if this could be solved with software. i don't have an amp or anything for my mic and to my knowledge it shouldn't need one, but it is pretty old now and i forgot what actual product it is.
i'm on arch using kde with pipewire. i am already using kde's (or maybe something else does this idk) feature to raise maximum volume to 150% in the audio volume window, but this will turn itself off at unpredictable intervals and is also seemingly not always enough.
so i ask - is it possible to set some setting or use some linux audio magic to raise my mic output volume? and in the same vein of changing/setting audio levels, is it possible to configure the volume level on my system to not go above a certain level - as in all audio above x level is clamped back down to x?
full transparency edit - not 10 minutes after hitting the post button i found the volume knob on my mic that i swear to god was hiding so well and was definitely not just right there the whole time and definitely not accidently turned way down. still would like an answer to the second question though lmao
linux-compatible speedrunning tools and/or livesplit tricks
hi, is there anyone else here who is disappointed with the speedrunning tools available for linux users?
i've tried livesplit through wine but i can't get global hotkeys or autosplitters working, and speedrunning in general doesn't allow for the leeway required to tab out, split, and tab back in. i did give this a shot but it seems like livesplit server is deprecated and the project never got any more work done. also tried livesplit one, but again i couldn't figure out global hotkeys or auto splitting.
i used to use a tool called flitter but i would really prefer something more configurable like livesplit.
ok actually midway through writing this and looking for links to the things i've used in the past, i found this tool that does support global hotkeys. autosplitter would be nice, but it's better than the rest.
i'll still post this though - i'm curious if there are any tools/tips/tricks/etc others have to share.
Anthony Naples - Chameleon (2021)
can't stop listening to this lately - this album has such a wonderful chilled out atmosphere to it that i keep coming back to.
Album(s) of the year?
to the ~7 or less people who are on this community, you listen to anything that blew you away this year? most of my listening this year has been discovering older music - got into idm in the middle of the year and been basically going through the greats.
here's a list of the little i did listen to (and remember) that came out this year in no particular order:
- Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You
- DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ - Destiny
- Colin Stetson - When we were what wept for the sea
- Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)
i always look forward to december because then i can pick through other people's best of the year lists for stuff that passed me by. i'd love to hear some notable releases that i missed!
Kai Whiston - No World As Good As Mine
just found this community - and i first listened to this album earlier this year because until then i thought it was a rap record lol.
Salamanda - In Parallel
spotify just shuffled me into this artist and when i saw that they released something today i had to listen. really nice atmosphere, and with a lot going on that you can listen closely for.
what are everyone's thoughts on pikmin 4?
decided someone needed to start sprouting some pikmin in here. i'm almost finished with it (i think) and as a long time fan of the series, this one has really got me hooked. i was so worried from the trailers that the new stuff like oatchi and the dandori battles wouldn't flow right or that the new aiming/lockon system would mess the game up, but it all works amazingly. there is so much less fiddling around with your pikmin and making sure everyone is in the right places and more just doing stuff. it rocks.
pikmin 4 area spoilers
i just got to the 6th area and i am blown away by just how much is in this game! my jaw dropped when i saw there was a 5th full area, and i actually said "no way" out loud when they revealed the 6th area. AND this area addressed my issue of not all the pikmin types being useful! it just feels like this game is ready to burst with content between the numerous areas, caves, replayable dandori things, night missions, and the olimar mission which i haven't played yet.
my main gripe i have so far is the tried and true classic pikmin critique: the game suffers from being too easy in most areas. hopefully someone puts out a difficulty mod that isn't on kaizo levels at some point.
i also wish the caves were a little more complex, but the huge overworld areas make up for it with some of what i would call the best level design in the series.
what do you guys think of the new game? what's your favorite pikmin in it? favorite area? cave?
uncontrollable bean rage
i HATE beans so much that i fly into a rage whenever the mere thought of beans enters my brain. i get so violent and out of control that i immediately kill and consume the nearest animal (not dogs you DUMB VEGANS) in a sort of fugue state. obviously i am very compassionate as i do this and use every part of the animal (this makes the animal happy)
this whole condition is agitated - obviously - by vegans existing and telling me to stop killing animals. aita?
first vegan lemmy post
hi lemmy, seeing as there isn't an established vegan community on here (that i could find), i thought someone ought to bite the bullet and make the first post.
what do we want out of this space? to be like the vegan subreddit, a place for vegans and a place to spread veganism to non-vegans? or something more staunchly anti-carnist?
whatever the case, happy to be annoying and b12 deficient in a new space not controlled by a corporation
