Have you done "sudo sensors-detect"?

[–] dr_jekell@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

It's called "OEM install".

Ubuntu based distros should have it.

Of course it would be a Nvidia driver issue.

Thought about getting a AMD card but as I had only had one major issue with my previous 1070 (that was fixed by reloading my Timeshift snapshot then not upgrading the driver until the next version) so I thought that I would continue with Nvidia.

Eh, I can't change it for now but at least I know what is causing it and can work around it.

Thanks for the assist.

Here is what I started with:

And what I have today after 3 suspends:

So I recently built a new computer to replace my 7 year old one but I have noticed a strange problem with it.

When I boot up the computer and use it as normal it sits around 8-10 GiB of ram in use plus about another 9 GiB committed.

But when I suspend the computer then un-suspend it later the in use ram starts creeping up even if I have less running than I did when I originally booted the computer.

Last time this happened it went from 10 GiB all the way up to about 43 GiB in the space of a few hours.

If I reboot then things go back to normal behavior.

Anyone have any ideas about what I could look for to fix it?


Specs:

  • Manjaro XFCE 25.0.0 Zetar
  • 6.13.8-2 Kernel
  • Gigabyte B860I AORUS PRO ICE ITX Motherboard
  • Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF CPU
  • 64GB DDR5 RAM
  • 2TB M.2 NVMe

I like WiFi access points as they require no special configuration on the computer, can be placed where they get the best signal, due to their larger antennas they get better reception and they often have several LAN ports allowing multiple devices to be connected to it.

If you still want to use a USB or PCIE WiFi then you are best served by looking for a card with intel chip sets as their drivers are included in the Linux kernel so they are often plug and play.

Three things,

  • Have you tried using a newer kernel?
  • You should be able to use a USB tethering to use your phone for internet.
  • I really despise USB & PCIE WiFi adapters as they cause so many issues. If your computer has an ethernet port then you are better off getting an WiFi access point that has Wi-Fi bridge mode, you can connect your computer to it using an ethernet cable then connect the access point to the WiFi. Your computer only sees the ethernet connection so no additional drivers, settings or futzing around needed.

I have had the issue of having to enter a password to access an additional drive on my Manjaro PC.

I was pointed to this as a possible solution and it worked for me.

It may or may not work for you though.

[–] dr_jekell@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It is an app but it is a "Third party" app, IE not an official Lemmy app.

So it won't have high enough access to user data to do password changes.

Look at getting a password manager like Bitwarden to manage and store all of your passwords instead of trying to remember them.

From what I understand about the windows 10 install is you have to remove the internet connection to get the option.

 

I was looking through my Pi-hole logs and a strange URL is regularly coming up that I can't figure out what it is used for.

Does anyone have any insight?
