Between this comment about arch and the other comment about opensuse, it must only be apt which has issues with large updates with complicated dependency chains. I remember 5-6 years ago Ubuntu borking itself when I tried to update after a decent gap and had 100+ packages to update. There is also the fact that people used to advice me to make a clean install in lieu of updating whenever a new version of Ubuntu dropped.

Well in an immutable distro, there is little to no chance for the system to end up in an unusable state (I guess it is the same for distros which apply the updates atomically). Traditional distros are far more likely to bork when so much shit is updated at once

The stewarding was unnaturally harsh this weekend. It started with the stupid pen for max in quali and then my god in the race. From the start, the 10 seconds penalty for stroll seemed excessive considering it was lap 1. Then the ridiculous stop and go for Norris and the drive through for lewis. The level of inconsistency in the stewarding is unprecedented. Great job by the FIA and bin Sulayem in firing all the competent people from the organisation.

I missed the race yesterday and just watched the replay and oh my god what a dumpster fire of a race. Really bad race directing and ridiculously over the top stewarding. Honestly what a shit show of a race.

The fact that no VSC was called for the debris on the track(which was there for so many laps) is almost criminal and then the shitshow with penalties added to the stupidity. We were robbed of a great max vs Norris battle.

Max didn't react to Russell. It was not like he slammed the brake or changed his line to block Russell. Russell could and should have overtaken by going off the racing line which is what cars overtaking on prep laps usually do.

Edit : Also the maximum lap time ensures that you can't 'block' the car behind for the entire the lap. You have speed up at some point to come back within the delta

Yeah this I think this penalty is bullshit. Since both of them are on build laps, max is under no obligation to move over for Russell. As for Russell's argument that 'slow' cars should be off the racing line, no driver will drive off the racing line when there is no car on a hot lap to let through because it is dirty off line which will affect the tyre and ruin their tyre preparations.

This sets a dangerous precedent where cars behind will try to spook and bully cars ahead on build laps by rushing at them and making them either go faster and not get to prepare properly or go offline and pick up dust and rubber onto the tyre surface which again affects tyre preparations

Well that cannot be true because the experts in the YouTube comments tell me it is all about the car. /s

Yeah team have done wonders using the data from the sprint. Still it confuses me that the team mainly used data collected from perez's car to determine the setup and yet max was 9 tenths faster. I would expect the setup to favour perez more

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

And yet he ended up 9 tenths slower than max. Somehow that makes no sense to me

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (4 children)

That was one hell of a turnaround by RB. How did perez do all the setup related work in the Sprint and still end up 9 tenths behind max¿?

How the fuck did Max take that pole

Russell back to Mr. Saturday kinda form

 

So I have been listening to the radio surrounding the aborted start. McLaren fucked up with both cars and asked them to pull away. Same with Mercedes, VCARB and Haas. Alpine gave the correct instructions to wait and switch off and followed the rules to the T but then were forced to go because the others in front went. Same as Alpine for all the remaining teams (Red Bull, Ferrari, Aston, Williams and Sauber).

Frankly the McLarens, Mercs, VCARBs and Haases should be penalized.

 

So I saw that the rpm-ostreed-automatic.service was failing so I manually tried to upgrade but when i run rpm-ostree upgrade, I am getting an error Creating importer: Failed to invoke skopeo proxy method OpenImage: remote error: A signature was required, but no signature exists. Is this some error at my side or is this some key related issue at uBlue's side?

 

I recently made a post about my FreeSync certified monitor not supporting VRR over HDMI. I thought that there was VRR support over HDMI even for versions below 2.1 spec. Am I mistaken in my assumption¿? Has the HDMI forum prevented the implementation of FreeSync in the open source drivers¿?

Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec.

 

I have a AMD CPU + AMD dGPU laptop and recently bought a LG FreeSync monitor. I hooked up the monitor to my laptop and got it working mostly fine but I dont get any option to set VRR on my LG monitor.

I am on Gnome and have enabled VRR through gsettings. My laptop display shows the option to toggle VRR (and is currently being used with VRR on) but my LG display does not. The Archwiki says that the option to toggle VRR should show up on every supported display. I have verified from the user manual that FreeSync is supported over both HDMI and DP and from the monitors menu, I have verified that FreeSync is enabled. Is this a bug or I am missing something.

Hardware and Software

  • Ryzen 5 5600H with Vega integrated graphics
  • Radeon RX 5500M
  • Internal Display of 1080p, 144Hz (I have no idea which panel it is)
  • LG 24GS60F-B monitor connected over HDMI 2.0
  • uBlue main 40 (Fedora Silverblue 40)
  • GNOME 46.4
  • Kernel version 6.10.3
  • Mesa 24.1.5

Thanks in advance for the help.

So there are these two monitors - Samsung Odyssey G3 LS24AG32 and LS24AG30. Both of them are practically the same but the LS24AG32 is 165Hz and the LS24AG30 is 144Hz. Since they are both VA panels, I was worried about severe ghosting. All the reviews I find are for LS24AG30 which has what I find is an acceptable level of ghosting but I the only model available on my region is LS24AG32 so I am wondering if it uses the same panel which would mean a similar level of ghosting. The issue is that the old model of the Odyssey G3 had terrible ghosting so I am worried about the LS24AG32. The LS24AG32 model comes with a AU optronics M238HVN02.0 CELL but I couldn't find any information for the LS24AG30. Can somebody help me. Thanks in advance

Testing if VRR is active and working

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRR¿?

So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is an external drive, i was not allowed to do so. Is there anyway for me to inspect and fix this drive? I am on fedora ublue-main. The HDD is a 1TB seagate drive.

Edit : I am a linux noob so some hand holding will be appreciated. Also i am looking to use this drive only for low priority media files which i dont mind losing so please help even though it is not the greatest idea to use a failing drive

Edit 2 : It seems my post is not clear of what i am doing. I dont want to recover data from the drive. I want to try to use more of the drive for storing data

Words cannot express just how much I love the new setting to quickly toggle between light and dark mode. I am very very grateful. Thank you @[email protected], this is a wonderful app.

DRM error in F1TV (discuss.tchncs.de)

Since there is no F1TV community, I am posting here. I am trying to watch the pre season test on my phone running but am running into the error in the picture. My phone is running lineageOS 20. Is this a widevine certification issue¿? Is there anyway to resolve this¿?

Edit : Further phone details - Motorola G60. F1TV app used to work normally with the stock rom(at least it did last year)
