I'm having a super annoying issue I've not been able to fix consistently since it started happening. I have an Elgato XLR interface with audio output and (obviously) an XLR-microphone input. However, the microphone works intermittently. It won't even act like it's receiving sometimes. I usually don't notice it isn't working until I'm under time pressure to talk to someone on Discord -- the microphone won't work. It shows up in Alsamixer and is unmuted, and the only "consistent" way I can resolve the issue is by opening pavucontrol and switching the XLR Usb Audio Configuration from Digital Out + Mono Input to Analog Out + Mono Input back and forth like 10x-20x, then sometimes, sometimes, the microphone will spontaneously begin to function normally. I've tried so many things. I've tried adding snd-usb-audio to alsa-config, One time opening pulse meter just fixed it, like it woke it up from some sleep state? One time, unlocking and locking the input channels fixed it. One time, I couldn't fix it without restarting my machine three times. It works fine in Windows and MacOS. I'm so desperate I started asking ChatGPT what other poo poo it could think of to try and resolve it. I just disabled usb power management, I think? I don't even know man. I will literally try anything at this point. (I really don't want to replace it because the microphone really wants 60db lift and the interface provides it and it sounds like anything else I'd get I'd have to pair it with a cloudlifter pre-amp or something). I guess I could just tear it all out and sell it or something (the microphone and interface),, Oh it's happening in Ubuntu and Arch but seems to be mostly present under Gnome de, and it doesn't care if I'm using pulseaudio or pipewire (I assume because it's using pipewire-pulse) (just using ALSA doesn't fix it either). I haven't tried running a JACK only environment, and I don't... really want to especially for literally no reason.

McCracAttack posted:Ah, I turned off Steam Play/Proton and tried a Linux native game. No stutter. Feels like we're onto something here. I'll keep looking into it with your suggestions and everyone else's. Thank you all for the replies. Forgive me I repeat things you've already found or know about, I just am kinda of going overboard because I was really annoyed by how vague or assumptive a lot of information given by people related to Linux can be so I'm going off a little. (also if you determine the fix please sure cause I'm curious): As someone who switched full time to Linux in october because my games ended up running better, (like 30-50FPS avg better in Apex), i'm going to hedge it can likely shader compiling catching you up. Do you skip "compiling shaders" at the launch every time? If you let it run (or download some pre-compiled ones for the game from reddit or somewhere else (github)) that should help a little. What games are we talking here? What other specs are you running? Otherwise, I really like https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom as a replacement/different Proton, it runs great. Additionally there are proprietary nvidia drivers (which I recommend if you don't have a grudge against closed-source stuff), vs the open-source Nvidia drivers which, admittedly, I've never used because I haven't cared to. That repo also discussed nvidia-all, a dkms. Make sure you're using the correct dkms drivers for your card too, I was having HELL back in early october cause I had forced the installation of nvidia-42X drivers not understanding that I was supposed to be using nvidia-525. I recommend compiling the ProtonGE from the source than an store/repo cause it'll ensure it's fully updated to the latest. Finally, I just went through this tonight after blowing away and reinstalling, I forgot to modify nvidia-settings and set everything to MAX performance (under PowerMizer), as well as flipping off the checkmarks next to "OPENGL SETTINGS" > Sync to Vblank and Allow flipping (set them OFF). Apex FPS went from 120 --> 300. So don't forget to install nvidia-settings and take a look at that there too. I'm happy to ramble about this more, but I actually wanted to come talk about my success getting displaylink to function on my system to run 2 extra monitors (for 6 total) in Xorg with literally no discernible lag, graphical artifacts, or random disconnects, but embarrassingly the last 5 hours of troubleshooting came down to the classic "try another cable or adapter" (or in one case, literally plug it in you moron). The trick to getting it to even install the necessary EVDI driver for Displaylink by following apoc139's advice in the latest comment here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/displaylink Otherwise it would throw a fit about the kernel being too new. Then, in a kind of excitement, I applied basically a bunch of troubleshooting tips in the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink to keep the screens from shutting off (seems to indicate Pulseaudio suspension in some cases) and some other bullshit I wish I had noted down but hopefully won't have to do again soon... If other people want though, I could comb through my browser history and compile some kind of little guide for it, at least in Arch. I'm sure the same kind of ideas would work in Ubuntu etc as well. I literally switched from Ubuntu (back to) Arch today just because the guides seemed more fleshed out (Although thinking about it now, the trouble I was hitting in Ubuntu was I could only get 1 of 2 displays working at a time, so that was probably an adapter/cable/usb hub issue anyway). Last thing I'll say: Linux was something I purposefully avoided engaging with whatsoever since I was a teenager cause it seemed like too much annoyance. But I didn't really grok that it would remind me of being 12 and loving with Windows XP to fix whatever poo poo I broke pretty much every week, which is a really satisfying experience. Shame so many Linux forums are full of... loving assholes.

Some guy I was following on twitter was complaining that Linux was bad because he flashed the iso for two different distros wrong and it had grub/bootloader errors on initialization and he kept digging a hole when people were understandably a little snarky about him acting like it wasn't his fault for not googling or reading any documentation on installation. "They provided an ISO that should be good enough!" I get the run up into utilizing it can be frustrating, the documentation can be poor, and the community itself is... kind of toxic (most of the time), but I think I am getting the reasons why more and more. To me, if you aren't kind of infatuated with the idea of your daily computing being lowkey annoying some days and highkey frustrating on others + the idea of searching around for solutions or hacking poo poo together sometimes doesn't sound fun to you then why are these people even trying to install linux in the first place? The killer open source apps?? Is this take stupid?

Pablo Bluth posted:Honestly, who reads man pages these days? The answer is on ArchWiki. When I got into Linux my friend warned me about posting for help anywhere because Linux users are literally the worst about that poo poo. It comes out sometimes in the authorship of the wiki at times, say you read an Archwiki page and it lacks command syntax and just assumes you know how to do something. I mean, sometimes there are links, but sometimes it just says "enable this" but man, I just installed last night! I don't know about systemctl enable! Some pages are well documented and others are just like "GLHF" I just added https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi-compat-git as another alternative to evdi-git to the Displaylink page because I had to spend like 6 hours researching my displaylink until I found the upstreamed solution in that package someone made (praise the higher-tier nerds). Admittedly though, I vastly prefer having a "centralized" wiki and repo system in Arch to say, Ubuntu. Which maybe is mostly a sense of unfamiliarity with how the packages work. Plus I'm a freak and love using yay -S package or something vs hunting through a shop or going to find .debs on websites (this feels too alike to going to websites to download .exes)

cruft posted:Linux users can be pretty bad, but Plan 9 users are the actual worst. Oh, me too! I think it's super fun. I've always been like that about anything though. Playing a battle royale with a first time gamer? Great stuff, imo. Yeah, it's impossible to change the tide but all you can do is be nice and try, ya know? It's just really kinda sad to look at any given topic or thread around the internet and see people being abusive or really picky/mean with noobs who are begging for help. Like, I know if I've gotten to a point where I'm posting a thread, I've exhausted every resource and informational guide I can possibly find. Obviously that isn't true for everyone, some people go straight to posting, but...  Speaking of posting: I have been getting weird system freezes recently. I am hoping it's somehow related to my USB hubs on my mobo cause the symptoms are really strange: the system rejects all input. Cursors continue to blink. Audio and video continue to play. I usually lose internet (but not always). Replugging usb devices, switching cables or ports, does nothing. I usually just reboot and it fixes it, but it is really aggravating. I'm running Arch with Zen kernel and GNOME. The only related stuff I can find in the journal is this. FYI these are reversed so top is oldest. code:Earlier it was a Seg 11 fault in gdm-x-session, could not set display :0, this is what I usually get. code:Just throwing this in here, kinda stumped. I've looked around for bug reports but a lot are from like, several years ago, not recently. The only other thing I've done was update my BIOS, install a Ryzen 9 5900X, and a cooler. I guess I *did* take some LED+shrouds off two of my RAM sticks, but I have a strong feeling that isn't it. (I ran a Memtest86+ 1 pass and it reported a PASS, but I probably should have ran it at least 4 more times...) I was originally thinking it might be related to evdi/displaylink, but uninstalling those drivers and settings did not stop the issue. Finally, this has persisted between reinstalls. I'm at 3 reinstalls since it started occurring, which was shortly after installing the new CPU/updating BIOS, etc. I even double-checked my arch iso after downloading it for faults/errors. Switching off GNOME to XFCE4 did not alleviate it either, although XFCE4 was able to recover more consistently, but I think it was still attached to some gnome functions despite not being logged in it. I haven't tried a FRESH non-GNOME install yet. Wayland isn't really an option due to Synergy and I just generally don't have a good experience with it, but I might be setting it up wrong in the first place. ziasquinn fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Apr 6, 2023 |

cruft posted:Based on just those two log snippets it sure looks like some kind of hardware problem. I'm inclined to suspect RAM, but maybe it's the firmware on the USB controller chip (which you probably can't modify) or... I mean, my work team tried to chase down a glitch like this recently and after about a month of replacing stuff we had to just give up and replace the whole motherboard. I'd say my team is above average competent at this sort of thing, but at some point you're going to need to decide that the time and energy required to figure out the problem is worth more than the money to just start over. Yeah that's what I'm thinking and hoping -- I'm swapping the motherboard tomorrow with a new one with +7 more usb ports, should be a grand time at the end of it all. I have reinstalled my OS and changed distros several times to various improvements and non improvements. Klyith posted:Yeah arch wiki is good, but also designed for arch users. Who tend to be either the guys who already know all the basics, or guys who think they know all the basics and definitely don't need any hand-holding. Oh yeah, I definitely started on Arch for no real reason aside from the fact I could tap my buddy's shoulder anytime I was finding myself in a situation where google was not providing me with what I needed (or I was feeling lazy). At this point I'm far enough in I feel like I have a good enough basic understanding I'm not floundering so hard like I was initially. I definitely would have probably abandoned it if I didn't have him helping me on the first manual install, which we did for kicks. As for the Firefox suggestion, honestly, I'll try it. So Far just switching off Vivaldi to pure Chrome has been working pretty well, but Firefox might be the ultimate destination depending on what the mobo swap results in. I hope at the very least the new mobo fixes my intermittent USB failures, cause it's honestly insanely annoying. Thanks you two for the suggestions and advice! Computer viking posted:My boyfriend is a desktop QA for Vivaldi and a linux user; I can nudge him towards video codecs in X. Though I suspect the underlying problem may be outside their code. Yeah, why not? I looked a little on their forums but most of the stuff that was being referenced was pretty old (6+ months) and not being commented on much anymore.

Mescal posted:is there "pair" and "connect" or like pair and two different kinds of connect with bluetooth? because it feels like the's two levels of connect. steamos doesn't generally want to reconnect to a controller. it kinda feels like both sides of the connection have a more passive and more active connect signal going on, and they don't always match right? if you specifically click connect in the desktop ui AND hold down the recessed pair button on the switch controller, they will do it fine every time! that makes me think they're totally capable of working well over bluetooth. everybody's so drat pessimistic about bluetooth and yeah it sucks but there's more than that going on with the connectivity issues. maybe it's probing the low energy bluetooth? like, my bluetooth speaker has a "LE bluetooth" mode that the remote uses to pair with it but a phone fails to... LE is always is present when I search for it but I have to specify pairing mode to turn on the high energy bluetooth
