Thanks for the reply. I see, if a game doesn't run without random crashes or bugs it will likely cost you the race when those happens... hopefully by the time I'm ready, the games are too!

[–] mumei@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I see, thanks! I'll have to keep that in mind when shopping for HW then. I'm lucky I'm not into VR, so that's one less issue for me

Sorry I'm here not to answer, but actually ask a question as I've recently-ish moved to Linux basically permanently and I plan on focusing a bit more on simracing in the future: what's the issue with Linux? Is it peripherals like steering wheel lacking drivers?

[–] mumei@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Same issue, I gave up. Must be some bug with my configuration since I can't find anything like it online. Oh well. Thanks though!

 

As per title, I was trying to play this game but for some reason it doesn't register ANY mouse button inputs (not in the key rebinding menu, nor in game).

Tried installing via .exe, via Lutris "script" (? idk how to call it exactly, but basically by letting Lutris manage everything? Usually it's made by users), tried several Wine/Proton versions, reinstalling, different USB ports. Nothing works lol I can only look around, so mouse is working. Just not registering button presses. Happens only in this game

Searched online and the only mouse issue other people have is with the sensitivity and not being able to use side buttons (M3, M4 etc).

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this, no mentions on the PCwiki either. Looked through logs and I didn't really see any errors.

Does anyone have pointers?

Thank you in advance!

Aren't there ways to patch the whatever-it-is that is "required" by W11 that older PCs don't have so that you can bypass the check and have W11 on older machines? I feel like that's a better solution than paying for Microsoft's garbage, if one was bent on not moving to Linux

I fixed my issue by flashing the latest Beta BIOS for my motherboard. Took me almost a full day of troubleshooting and looking online and repeating the same steps over and over again, but then almost on a whim I decided on flashing the Beta BIOS (no mentions of virtualization in the changelog, so I didn't really have reaaons to) and now Android Studio finally simulates the Android device. Thanks for your help!

Oh, yeah, I got an error with the original command you wrote, so I ended up typing the correct one anyway, and that's what returned the message that I'm already part of that group.

So, just to make it clear, sudo adduser "" kvm was the command I ended up using and that told me I'm already part of the group (I've been trying basically all solutions I could find online and I think one suggestion was to add myself to the group, so I may have already issued that command earlier today and I did restart several times between then and now)

[–] mumei@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (4 children)

I get the same exact error via Flatpak and "the user ... is already a member of kvm", unfortunately.

Thanks anyway!

[–] mumei@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Thanks a lot, appreciated. I think I'll try Flatpak Android Studio first, and move on to the suggestion of adding myself to the KVM group in case Flatpak install doesn't fix the issue. Thanks again!

[–] mumei@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (7 children)

Thanks for the reply and the testing. It's not via Flatpak (I figured it would be best not to, since Flatpak Gnome Boxes could not create a VM because of KVM issues, while Boxes installed via sudo apt install gnome-boxes gave me no error), but a simple tar extracted in desktop.

Since AMD Virtualization is Enabled in BIOS (although I can't toggle it) and Gnome Boxes can create a VM when installed via terminal, I don't think it's a BIOS or CPU problem (otherwise no version of Boxes would allow me to run a VM, but I did launch Arch btw from inside Boxes).

Am I wrong?

Thanks!

I'm trying to use Android Studio, but the virtual android doesn't start because of KVM error. Tinkering around with another VM application I understood that it's a location/permission issue (flatpak Gnome Boxes had the same issue, couldn't load KVM, but Boxes installed via terminal worked and I could start a VM).

On the official Android Studio website they suggest extracting the tar.zip in /usr/local but the system doesn't allow me to, so I extacted it on the desktop and the app runs, but I get a "/dev/kvm is not found" error, which should be because of the location I'm running Android Studio from.

So, should I just sudo force move the folder of Android Studio from desktop to /usr/local or is there a better way to do it?

PoP_OS just in case it can be useful to know.

Thanks in advance!

edit: fixed it by updating BIOS to latest Beta. Can't believe it was a bug in the version I was running and no one else catched it, since Beta changelog didn't mention it.

Apparently PoP! doesn't support Secure Boot. No idea why the system still runs and works apart from loading nVidia drivers though

I went from a 2600x to a 5600 (yes, MoBo is compatible after BIOS update) and now for some reasons I get 1FPS in games and monitor is not really detected (resolution is fine, but I can't change refresh rate and in "color" settings it's shown as "None-1 Monitor").

I tried:

  • monitor factory reset;
  • updating GPU drivers (was already running latest);
  • removing and purging GPU drivers (sudo apt remove ~nnvidia and sudo apt-get purge nvidia*) and reinstalling (sudo apt install pop-desktop system76-driver-nvidia);
  • resetting RAM speed to factory (2400Mhz).

Still nothing.

As you can guess from the commands, I'm running PoP!_OS and a nVidia GPU.

What else can I try?

Thanks in advance!

Issue found: I disabled secure boot from BIOS and now I can change resolution and refresh rate. Since I updated BIOS just before installing the new CPU it went under the radar

 

On W*ndows I used DS4Wind*ws, and I have no issues with Steam, but how can I use it to play with RetoArch and Lutris?

Is DS4DRV the way?

 

I'm using the latest WineGE (8.26, I think) to launch MO 2.4 but some parts don't work properly, namely activating/deactivating mods (when I click on the checkbox, MO just freezes), launching the game (when I launch the game MO doesn't do anything, only when I close MO it says "something VFS" and the game starts) and actually closing it (when I do, Lutris still says that it is running, and I have to click on "Stop" in Lutris to actually make it stop).

Am I missing aomething?

I'm on PoP!_OS. Thanks!

~~Ignore prices: I'm going to buy from different stores and I couldn't bother inputing prices manually~~ actually went and edited prices, also removed unnecessary bits as they were causing some confusion haha

This part list fits my budget and it's unlikely I will make changes to it, unless there are big issues with compatibility in which case the only change I can make is to go for a 7800XT instead to open up some of the budget to fix those issues.

Objective is playing AAA games at 3440*1440 100+ fps (ideally 120+), high-ultra with no RT and hopefully no FSR; what I'm keeping from current build are RAM and MoBo (plus case, CPU cooler, fans, and drives, but these shouldn't cause any issues). ~~I listed current drives, fans, etc. just to get a somewhat accurate total power draw to pick the right PSU.~~

I know about case GPU length restrictions, that's why there's a slim fan in the list that will be mounted front bottom, to accomodate the long GPU (Fractal's website says maximum GPU length with front fan is 315mm, standard fan is 25mm deep, 7900XT is 320mm and the slim fan is 16mm deep, so I should have 4mm of wiggle room!).

My main doubt is about huge bottlenecks with either RAM or MoBo. I'm keeping those and I'd rather not change them, because that would mean having to get a 7800XT instead (I know, for example, that a faster and lower CL RAM will give me slightly better FPS, although my current sticks are running at 3466Mhz and CL18, so not too bad, but I'm not looking to min-max to the last minute detail), unless such dated parts would cause huge bottlenecks that would make that GPU a total waste.

PC will be used exclusively for gaming.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

edit: after a bit more researching, I ditched the AOC U34G3XM and picked this Gigabyte after watching the video by Hardware Unboxed

The only bottleneck I see is the PCIe on the motherboard, which is only 3.0 x16, while the 7900XT is 4.0 16x. Not the end of the world, though, so I will pull the trigger in the next few days. Thanks everyone for your help!
