  • Is this some kind of sick joke, universe? I‘m trying to solve an issue involving xdg. I‘ve never before heard the name but now I might never forget it again! :D

  • Thanks for answering! I'm banging my head against this proverbial wall for hours.

    Here's the output of your command:

    Here's the pipewire-pulse version

     
        
    haui@haui-TowerPC:/usr/share/pipewire$ pipewire-pulse --version
    pipewire-pulse
    Compiled with libpipewire 0.3.65
    Linked with libpipewire 0.3.65
    
    
      

    Here's the pipewire-media-session version output:

     
        
    haui@haui-TowerPC:/usr/share/pipewire$ pipewire-media-session --version
    pipewire-media-session
    Compiled with libpipewire 0.3.65
    Linked with libpipewire 0.3.65
    
    
      

    output of wireplumber --version

     
        
    haui@haui-TowerPC:/usr/share/pipewire$ wireplumber --version
    Command 'wireplumber' not found, but can be installed with:
    sudo apt install wireplumber
    
    
    
      

    So I recon the first two are installed, wireplumber isnt (in fact I think uninstalling it was part of reverting to pipewire iirc.

    Here's more random output someone on a forum asked for:

  • Thanks for answering. Sadly, that didn't help either.

    xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is already the newest version (44~beta-1ubuntu2).
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    
      

    As I mentioned, I had changed from pipewire to pulse in 22.10 and now tried to change back. I needed a ton of work to get pulse working in 22.10 so A LOT of changes have been made but I have no idea how to trace them.

    I checked and the xdg-desktop-portal service seems to be installed but not running. Also, I'm using x11, now wayland afaik. Most guides reference wayland.

  • I had one but I suppose it is broken. I reinstalled it, no change. Probably need to correct a config somewhere.

  • I think the discussion has become a bit muddy.

    The argument against live service games is that you are dependent on the servers hosted by the developer/publisher (afaik).

    In normal circumstances, they are able to stop you from playing or alter the terms at any time however they like.

    This is a dominant/subordinate relationship which is quite risky. Especially for young people who are still learning what a healthy relationship looks like.

    The alternative is a equality relationship where you decide if you buy something based on the price.

    One argument against that would be that you can „rent“ an apartment as well. But legislature has shown that states will intervene on a vendor (landlord) redefining the terms of the contract. Not so much with gaming.

    Now you are arguing that the game is taken off live service and you will be able to play it offline. I don’t know if that is the case but if so then buying it now would actually send the message that doing the right thing after all boosts sales.

    TL;DR: Live service games are badly legislated imo but truly making such a game offline playable with all dlc would be a good thing in my book.

    Just my personal opinion. Have a good one.

  • I can already relate! :) I am running a homeserver on ubuntu 22.04 and I have been meticulous in my documentation and I was extremely cautious with every change I made. To be honest, I wasn’t this cautious with the desktop and it already shows.

    Will definitely keep your words in mind. Thanks a lot!

  • Yes, indeed. This is so obvious and my frustration is immeasurable when hearing that people are too ignorant to understand why this is really bad.

  • Thank you very much for this awesome comment! I will definitely check protondb a lot! :)

  • I actually installed factorio on the machine in question when it still had a shit gpu and it ran perfectly. I love that game. :)

  • I have paid special attention launching the game since it was running crazy slow. I don’t think I got that option. But in any case it works fine now.

  • Makes sense. I have no idea. Feel free to visit places like that and update us on your findings. :)

  • Thanks for answering but I have no idea how that works. Additionally, I got it working now. It is running at 60+ frames after I chose steam linux runtime in the compatibility options.

  • So, I'm very new to this Linux Desktop experience. I have a Linux server that runs cli only so I'm very much not used to the desktop version.

    I tried many proton versions and they all seemed to not work. The only thing that did work (and exceptionally well too) is the steam linux runtime (last option in steam compatibility).

    I had to google to find out what wayland and X11 are. My terminal tells me I'm running X11.

  • It is "agitation propaganda" if I understand correctly and is supposed to inform and agitate people towards revolution and class warfare (which is a great thing imo).

    To the other two: Hexbear seems to be housing much radical thought. I'm not sure which extreme but one definitely. Tankie I looked up as well earlier this week: It's a person that glorifies autocratic communist states such as north korea iirc.

  • Thank you so much! This is awesome! Will definitely look this up more often. I'm actually very surprised that games run this smoothly if you tinker with them.

  • Damn! You're right. Thanks a lot. I completely forgot about smi.

    I ran CS:GO in 150 to 200 FPS so it seems all right.

  • Thank you very much for answering.

    Here is the output for lspci -v:

    65:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: PNY GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 66, NUMA node 0 Memory at d7000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] I/O ports at b000 [size=128] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [virtual] [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

    It looks to me as it would be working.

    But now I have another problem: I installed CS:GO and have between 150 and 200 FPS on high. Looks like the 3060ti works after all. :) but now metro doesnt even start. If I hit play, it quickly cycles through start, cloud sync, running, stopped

    This happened before. I then verified the game files and it worked again. Any idea what the issue is?

  • Thanks to you I now know that agitprop means. :) have a good day
