in my case, I have pre-installed Windows10 with separate partition for boot files (EFI). My solution is to use grub to generate boot file and move the boot files directly to the same boot partition as Windows 10. Then in my BIOS, both Gentoo and Windows 10 boot are recognized. When you boot you ...

Looks like someone with your model of laptop would be more help. Have you tried the Arch Linux Wiki article on your laptop?:

Thanks. I saw this too. Unfortunately, my Laptop doesn't have thunderbolt. Both Type-C and HDMI are wired to Nvidia. I ...

Are you sure? My understanding is that the point of the NVIDIA Optimus design is that the NVIDIA GPU outputs via the Intel IGP display memory. Anyway, the following command outputs are from my NVIDIA Optimus laptop (Clevo W230SS, with both VGA and HDMI ports):


I agree. But my xrandr only shows ...

I would preferably use multiple monitors as I normally use an external monitor with my laptop at home. Does this set-up require the NVIDIA card handling the graphics?
No, it does not require the NVIDIA GPU handling the graphics. See my first post for how to launch specific applications to use the ...

Everytime i complied qtwebengine, I had to reduce the thread from -j12 to -j6. otherwise, it would fail. Does anyone know why? Much appreciated.
I leave my 2700X at -j16 I have 32G memory, no swap.
Maybe you need more memory.

Unless you want to use multiple monitor, you could simply run X with intel GPU and run program with "prime-run xxx" for better performance. Per my understanding, prime-run work the same way as Prime offload command as mentioned previously

Are you working to run the X server with Nvidia GPU only? if yes, why not disable the intel GPU in BIOS? It should make the Nvidia work properly even without the manual configuration.

Hi, Guys
I am wondering if it works in wayland that integrated GPU to render laptop monitor and discreted Nvidia GPU to render external monitor via HDMI port? i didn't find any valuable information from google. Does anyone have any knowledge? Thanks.

Omg, I hate this ebuild

or you can try -j8 -j7 -j6 ... I seems to remember that -j6 failed in my laptop.

It has bothered me for almost 2 hours. Same issue with my mouse. I tried with my phone. The phone can connect my computer but my computer cannot connect my phone. That should be because of this. Thanks for saving me.

MAKEOPTS="j4" will work for qtwebengine. same thing happened to me too.

Hi, I am encountering a problem in restoring Wifi after resuming from suspending to RAM. It doesn't happen everytime, only once per 3-4 times suspend to RAM. I didn't try hibernation. When it happened, I cannot reprobe the firmware module. Both dmesg information of failure is shown below. Could ...

News from Nvidia said that nvidia-drivers will not be updated at least within one month from 5.9 release. It is therefore not recommended to upgrade the kernel too aggressive.

Or maybe simpler to just override DNS and force an IPv4 address with /etc/hosts or something.
I believe this is the simpler way. but I don't know what is the code should be typed into /etc/hosts or DNS to force an IPv4 address.

This is music app in Windows and I believe the version for Linux it's ...

I have one app and it connects one website with ipv6 automatically but the ipv6 address is not working in my current environment. Currently I disable the ipv6 for system wide to make sure the app connect the website with ipv4 instead of ipv6. I am wondering if there a way to disable ipv6 for ...

Hi, guys

I just bought a new laptop with AMD 4600H with NVIDIA GTX 1650. Gentoo is newly installed with KDE plasma5 and SDDM. Until now, I can run the system and application with amdgpu without any problem and run specific application with Nvidia property driver. The Nvidia/Optimus support hybrid ...

Hi,
I use libinput as INPUT_DEVICES in make.conf. But I just found that xf86-input-synaptics is still required by plasma-desktop with USE=touchpad.
Is it still necessary to keep it?

No I run 64bit system.

Hi, I just want to try a tool called PureRef and I downloaded the latest version from the official website. In the website both deb and portable version are the executable file "appimage".

I just try KDENlive and I found the Effect/Composition Tab windows is so ugly. It's just like having a very low DPI or resolution. Only this tab. Others look good. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks

I start to trying Wayland in my KDE desktop. Everything seems working well except for the scale. In my Display setting under wayland, scale only shows 1x and 2x. 1x is relatively small only for some apps like thunderbird. 2x is too big for the desktop. Is there anyone know how to make it 1.3x or 1 ...

I am not sure if I describe the case precisely and correctly. The image in Gwenview shows more alias than Okular and Chrome. That's what I observed in my system. I will have to install ...

Hi,
My picture in Gwenview or Digikam seems has very low DPI in view mode than that Okular or Chrome. The image quality in Gwenview/Digikam is too low. It seems some configuration is not right. Could anyone has such experience in fixing it?

Thank you.
