Steam definitely launched on dedicated graphics, and so did kerbal. Great news. I assume this is normally the default behaviour and something odd is happening for me?

yeah so steam has a setting in its .desktop.desktop file that requests the "other" gpu. but it doesnt work properly in switcheroo (the system that handles swithcing gpus)

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

so we have a patched switcheroo where the behavior is fixed

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

We ship a patched switcheroo, so what should be happening is your card is determined to be discreet and then selected as the default for things that request it like Steam

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

For some reason though, as you pointed out, yours is unknown and not properly marked

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

So that may be a bug in switcheroo?

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

yep what kyle said

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:30 AM

The card is obscure so that may be a reason

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:31 AM

@cave monster can you do lspci -nn | grep -P "(VGA compatible|3D) controller"lspci -nn | grep -P "(VGA compatible|3D) controller"

HHikariKnight @cave monster can you do `lspci -nn | grep -P "(VGA compatible|3D) controller"`

unit@ABSOLUTE-UNIT:~$ lspci -nn | grep -P "(VGA compatible|3D) controller"

quadro and 3d controller

cave monsterOP•6/30/24, 5:32 AM

yeah, it's a bit obscure. This is a Lenovo P51, with a Xeon/ECC RAM and quadro

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:32 AM

so not detected as vga controller

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:32 AM

might be why

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:32 AM

only thing that stands out but cant say for sure

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:33 AM

The good news is you have the environment variables right there, so you can just copy those into a Steam desktop file

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:33 AM

And skip the whole switcheroo thing

Kyle Gospo•6/30/24, 5:33 AM

This may be something that needs to be patched in switcheroo, but given the nature of Quadro as less of a gaming card that might not happen

cave monsterOP•6/30/24, 5:33 AM

What does switcheroo use as its source of info on a particular card?

I'll definitely do that to make it work right for now. I don't know how easy it is to upstream the fix

solidworks is my favourite video game, what do you mean?

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:34 AM

Maya is a way better game tho

cave monsterOP•6/30/24, 5:36 AM

aararghhhhh i'mm milkshapiiingggf!!!!!

Ccave monster uhh, where does my .desktop file live for steam?

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:37 AM

cp /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/cp /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
then edit ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop in a text editor

thats a software name i havent heard in 2 centuries

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:39 AM

Is there any way to tell for sure that a system update is happening? Noticing a bunch of network and disk usage with no easy way to tell which processes are using bandwidth or why my SSD is reading at 100% speed, except that baloo_file_extractor run by systemd is going full tilt on something

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:40 AM

steady download of ~2mbps in the background is fine if I know what's doing it, but if I don't I start getting paranoid

Crono•6/30/24, 5:41 AM

If it's a system image update, you can see if that's running through

rpm-ostree status

rpm-ostree status

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:41 AM

journalctl -t rpm-ostree --followjournalctl -t rpm-ostree --follow

Crono•6/30/24, 5:41 AM

Or that

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:42 AM

and

rpm-ostree status

rpm-ostree status

to see if a transaction is happening

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:43 AM

so what does that mean?

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:44 AM

you can also just ujust toggle-updatesujust toggle-updates and set them to manual?

OOnihikage so what does that mean?

HikariKnight•6/30/24, 5:44 AM

its doing nothing

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:44 AM

alright, so now I gotta figure out wtf is constantly downloading stuff

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:45 AM

I mean if you're in Central time USA I think it downloaded something 10 minutes ago

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:45 AM

like something keeps downloading and then getting unpacked I think

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:46 AM

If you go to the Apps tab does it mention which one?

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:46 AM

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:46 AM

Mission Center doesn't seem to have a column for network usage

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:47 AM

kinda feel like just killing it to see what happens

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:47 AM

KDE indexing

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:48 AM

so just normal OS stuff?

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:48 AM

oh wait, when KDE indexes, does it also index samba shares?

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:50 AM

either way what's it indexing out of nowhere that's taking it twenty minutes?

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:52 AM

My hunch is Samba shares

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:52 AM

That would explain internet use too

Kasher_CS•6/30/24, 5:52 AM

Well, network use in this case

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:54 AM

alright, that tracks, I changed how the samba share to my media server is stored in Dolphin because how it was before was half broken and constantly spamming credential requests as if the keyring doesn't exist

Onihikage•6/30/24, 5:54 AM

and the network send on my media server matches the network receive on my local machine

nilmethod•6/30/24, 5:56 AM

my volume slider doesn't change the volume at all in bazzite. if i put it all the way down, it'll mute but i can slide it all over the place and the volume remains the same.
