Software - Support / Re: Nouveau ----> Nvidia, trouble changing driver

« Last post by ro_sid on 2024/04/04, 17:42:51 »

Thanks for reporting. I am really mystified! Your system must be something special .
I have looked it up in "my" configuration: the package "nvidia-kernel-support" should make it impossible for the nouveau driver/module to load by blacklisting it. That package is normally installed by the nvidia driver metapackage.

At this time, I am clueless, sorry.

I do not know the consequences of the problem. But I would like to say that in recent days I have noticed for a very short period of time the CPU going to 100% for no apparent reason. Also, the illuminated keyboard flashes (again for no apparent reason.
I don't know if it is related to the problem but I am reporting it.

Software - Support / XCompose file

« Last post by lanig on 2024/04/04, 09:01:17 »

Hi,

I want to add easy typing of Polish characters.
To try, I have made a minimal .XCompose file but it doesn't work neither with XMonad or WMaker.
AltGr a still gives me æ like it should on a well educated French keyboard.

Code: [Select]

less .XCompose
Define AltGr + a to produce Ą
<Multi_key> <a> : "Ą" Aogonek
Any ideas ?

Since snap is not of interest in debian or siduction ...
But nvm, the new kernel has CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED=y set.

Yes, but unfortunately the applications using the respective
system call (fsconfig) do not comply. I get a bunch of everlasting
repetitions of the form:

[  816.577011] Dev loop14: unable to read RDB block 8
[  816.577028]  loop14: unable to read partition table
[  816.577031] loop14: partition table beyond EOD, truncated
[  816.577033] loop_reread_partitions: partition scan of loop14 (/tmp/syscheck-squashfs-3283833802) failed (rc=-5)

resulting from snapd's effort to mount the ro FS for skype. I am wondering whether it be
possible to configure the aforementioned CONFIG option when building the next kernel release.

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -o loop,ro grub.iso /mnt
Should do the trick.

Software - Support / mount of iso image failed on current kernel

« Last post by Teriarch on 2024/04/03, 18:21:08 »

I booted the system under exactly equal environments and tried to mount an iso image:

$ sudo mount grub.iso /mnt

With kernel 6.7.10-1-siduction-amd64 the call succeeded. With kernel 6.8.2-1-siduction-amd64 it failed:

mount: /mnt: /dev/loop0 already mounted or mount point busy.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

When I replaced the kernel under exactly the same environment with some other 6.8 kernel the call
succeeded again. I tried several times to be sure. I compared the kernel configs and the offending
configuration value seems to be:

# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED is not set (for the siduction 6.8 kernel
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED=y (for the other 6.8 kernel)

Can someone confirm the findings (you can try the Giants ISO image) and maybe remedy
the problem? The snapd depends on mounting read only  images and fails e.g. for the skype app.

... if it (=nvidia(-current)) is (now) really included in the initramfs-image, you might be able to use the "module-load=nvidia-current" kernel option now with grub.

Tried this -- after unloading nouveau, and building nvidia-current, and "modprobe nviidia-current", I updated initramfs, edited the grub-cmd line, updated grub, and rebooted.

nouveau driver was automatically loaded and working beautifully.    :'(
