Fedora 40 won't boot with Kernel 6.8.10 or above
  • Boot to the previous kernel and run updates until you get a 6.9, or go download and install the rpms yourself.

    They pushed a bad patch with 6.8.10 I think? They had to roll it back and push another real quick, but some caching issue still delivered it to a bunch of people. You should on the 6.9 line now anyway as 6.8 is EOL.

  • How (reasonable is it to try) to start a tech career for a privacy-respecting entity?
  • You don't need to even make your activity public, just someplace people can see relevant stuff you've been working on.

    Fork some repos, contribute some PRs to some projects you like, and generate some activity if you'd like though. People love to see that.

  • Linux Mint help
  • Your disks volume can't boot, so it's dropping you to a prompt to investigate. You need to run a disk check with 'fsck' at a minimum. If you're not familiar with the CLI , just boot a LiveISO, and check your system disks from a desktop you're familiar with.

  • Mr. President, Your Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card Is Ready
  • Well, gee. I guess let's all piss ourselves and start fear mongering with articles written from the perspective of it already happening.

    Polls are dog shit anyway. He was leading in the same manner last time around and lost. He's not going to win.

  • Is there a text editor/notes app that adds Unicode symbols?
  • I doubt toolbars in a rich text editor specifically for Unicode symbols would be a thing, because...why?

    There's definitely VScode extensions that would show the glyphs or convert the actual unicode hex to whatever it should be.

  • AOC wants to impeach SCOTUS justices following Trump immunity ruling
  • No, it makes her polarizing because the viewers of certain media thinks she's a fucking liberal who will literally sweep your house, take you gums, sell them, and give the profit to "illegals'.

    This was a literal interpretation about her from ImfoWars. It's a fucking thing. She won't win.

    A lot of people here seemed excited for these chips. It'll be very interesting to see the gaming performance as this could bring in an entire new segment of portable devices running Linux if powerful enough to deliver solid battery life and CPU performance.

    Overall, probably a positive thing as the improvements made here will flow downstream. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the performance of these new Qualcomm chips in laptops.

    Assist, wildcards, and Dynamic Intents.

    Let me just give the simplest explanation of my intended outcome here: I want to use Assist to speak "Play {Album} by {Artist} in {Room name}", and have it "just work".

    The Speech to text triggers aren't an issue, but the Intents are. Checking the built-in Intents has been of no use. The custom sentence docs only really handle the first part of the equation.

    So say I want to work this out with a local NAS mount where everything is categorized as Artist/Album in the directory structure, does anyone have any pointers or links that may be helpful?

    Is the AMD Phoenix power draw really just THAT bad right now?

    Tldr; Have tested multiple different Ryzen 7000 configurations on various kernels, and the power draw just seems really bad.

    Been looking for a decent new laptop workstation that fits various tasks. Phoenix chips check a lot of the boxes that I want, but the power draw on Linux for these chips seems a bit...crazy.

    The product docs say these chips are 35W-45W, but I figured that was just the range of maximums. What I'm seeing on fresh installs of various Debian variants is a CONSTANT power draw of at least 35W on the low end at all times. I've stepped kernel point releases from 6.0 to 6.6 to test out, and the later versions are definitely better at using a bit less power thanks to the amd_pstate_epp being included directly in the kernel, but this power draw is still there for the CPU package on idle.

    A few different laptop models I've tested will only get 90 mins on battery because of this. I've now tried four different models from three different manufacturers, and all show the same type of power draw.

    Is this just a "thing" with these chips? I understand they were modified from desktop to be a more mobile platform, but this is just terrible from an end-user perspective. I want the CPU and iGPU, and hell, even the FPGA XDNA thingie, but not when the machine can't run off of AC.
