  • Huh, that’s certainly interesting! The hacky solution ended up having to do with power states which is kinda annoying - I have to set the GPU to use max power state because if it goes into the min state and then I walk away for 5-10 mins, it drops out of the PCIe slot and I need to reboot. SSH still works but you can’t reattach it w/o a reboot. I’m running a PCIe gen 5 mobo though and I heard about some potential problems with that, so maybe that was related. Could also be the fact that I ran a Quadro RTX 4000 on the same system/OS for a year or so and didn’t want to do a full reinstall, so it probably had somewhat to do with leftover drivers and crap

  • I set up my 4070 TS (the brand new one) on Ubuntu 22.04 about two months ago and my god was it a pain in the ass. Took like two days to do and even after that it would still hit a screen freeze issue every thirty minutes that took another week to find a half-assed solution for…

  • …absolutely, positively, super false. I work in a sector where we’re constantly dealing with huge capacity enterprise SSDs - 15 and 30 terabytes at times. Always using RAID. It’s not even a question. Not only can you have controller malfunctions, but even though you’ve got what’s known as “over provisioning” on the SSDs, you still need to watch out for total disk failures!

  • ELI5 what does this mean for the average Linux user? I run a few Ubuntu 22.04 systems (yeah yeah, I know, canonical schmanonical) - but they aren’t bleeding edge, so they shouldn’t exhibit this vulnerability, right?

  • Appreciate the response! After many, many hours of research, I came to the same conclusion. I tried a whole multitude of solutions that worked for others and none of them seemed to work - except for a weird hacky “solution” to just permanently set the power state of the GPU to max. Unfortunately, that means it consumes ~50 watts idle instead of the 5-10 it managed beforehand… but the fact that it fixed the system lockups made it worth it. I think the issue was something having to do with the GPU not properly waking up from lower power modes - so I super appreciate the advice :)

  • Somehow the IRS knows to come after everyone for taxes - they don’t typically miss people. So maybe something somehow like that?

    Additionally, no ID renewal without proof of having voted/a valid exception (e.g. out of country)

  • Off to a fairly rough start, unfortunately :/

    Spent seven hours today trying and failing to get docker to work with our Jenkins deployment at work, and on top of that, my brand new GPU keeps “falling off the bus” (Ubuntu, 4070 Ti Super, randomly screen freezes and need a reboot to fix - but PC still runs so I can SSH in & check dmesg and whatnot). Sometimes it’s every 12 hours or so, or even more, but sometimes (today, for instance), it feels like it’s every ten minutes. Which … sucks.

    Side note… if anybody knows how the heck to fix a GPU falling off the bus… please let me know, lol. It only happens when I’m using the PC (as in, if it’s on but the mouse ain’t moving, it doesn’t seem to happen), and I’m running the latest & greatest NVIDIA 550 drivers. Ubuntu 22.04. Reseated GPU, running a 1000W EVGA PSU and the Kill-a-watt attached to it never goes above 450 or so. And the crash never seems to happen when it’s under a huge amount of load, like doing AI stuff… only ever seems to happen when I’m browsing files and such. Anyone ever run into this before?? All of the google answers seem to say it’s a bad PSU or similar, but the PSU has been working just fine & dandy in other PCs, and this system wasn’t doing this at all with my old NVIDIA GPU (swapped last week)…

  • lol, I wish. Luckily I have plenty of computing power at home already! But unfortunately we’re definitely not allowed to take anything - have asked a number of times :/ has nothing to do with storage and everything to do with capital BS

  • At least in the enterprise sector, you’re absolutely right. My company’s already got a massive list of all of the PCs that need to be discarded due to Win10 EOL. It freakin sucks because they’re very powerful PCs, but the damn lack of a TPM2.0 chip means they are basically garbage for our uses. And they don’t let employees take anything home :/ what a waste of

  • On the Pentalobe screw front, albeit somewhat random, I do know that all Samsung SATA & SAS 2.5” SSDs use Pentalobe screws to hold them together. Unsure if there are other Samsung products that use them as well but I deal with their drives on a weekly basis.

  • If you’re not running with a battery, the maximum wattage of the charging brick should be shown on the brick itself. Either that or you can calculate it with P=I*V (amps * volts). That won’t give you what the laptop draws on average (likely much less than the calculated value) but it will give you a maximum.
