  • Nvidia 580 update freezing gui - Ubuntu Studio

    Jump

  • Thanks for asking. I think I've had it for a week, and luckily no issues so far. I use it sparsely though, I always have on-demand mode. But I imagine Ubuntu Studio has important differences from Ubuntu?

  • Happy to have helped! I'm myself testing 580 now, fingers crossed :)

  • I don't know if it's the same in Ubuntu Studio, but in Ubuntu and derivates you can launch sudo software-properties-gtk or sudo software-properties-qt from a terminal. In the window that appears, choose the tab 'Additional Drivers'. There you can choose the Nvidia graphic drivers you prefer among older and newer versions. Good way to roll back.

    Apologies if this was obvious 🙏

  • They can be useful, used "in negative". In a physics course at an institution near me, students are asked to check whether the answers to physics questions given by an LLM/GPT are correct or not, and why.

    On the one hand, this puts the students with their back against the wall, so to speak, because clearly they can't use the same or another LLM/GPT to answer, or they'd be going in circles.

    But on the other hand, they actually feel empowered when they catch the errors in the LLM/GPT; they really get a kick out of that :)

    As a bonus, the students see for themselves that LLMs/GPTs are often grossly or subtly wrong when answering technical questions.

  • Thank you for this comment. So Unbound does only DNS caching, without really resolving? I think I've completely misunderstood its purpose.

    Jump

  • I'm starting to think that I've misunderstood what Unbound does. I thought I'd be a replacement for a DNS resolver (like CloudFlare). But from the replies here I'm starting to think it isn't?

  • Thank you for the warning! I'll know it's expected then :) In my case I'd like to use it more or less independently of the network I'm in, that's why I'd like to take a single-machine approach.

  • Thank you, I see the advantages of a network approach. In my case it's just two laptops in my network, and I'm also thinking of the case when I'm using the laptop in some other networks.

  • X1 Carbons of several generations have been notorious for their Thunderbolt defects, which appear after a while. For instance this or this (sorry for the Reddit links), and there are others related to connecting to screens. Right these days I'm dealing with the Thunderbolt-charging defect in my Gen 9. Luckily still under warranty.

    Best of luck with your problem! I suggest you use your warranty if still active (and better with on-site assistance than sending the thing).

  • What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems?

    Jump

  • The problem I'm discovering now with Linux & Lenovo/Thinkpads is that Lenovo officially only supports one particular LTS version for any given laptop model. For instance, an X1 Carbon gen 9 officially supports only Ubuntu 20.04. If your laptop – hopefully – lasts longer than the long-term-support duration, then you have to choose between (1) staying with an OS version that's becoming more and more outdated, or (2) possibly be on your own if hardware/firmware problems appear in the more recent OS version.

    Personally when my Thinkpad (Kubuntu) stops working properly I'll go with a vendor that fully supports Linux, including updates.

  • How to test Wayland from a live USB? (Ubuntu/Kubuntu)

    Jump

  • Yes, it turns out one can change session at login! Turns out Wayland doesn't support my tablet, so I'll stick with X11.

  • How to test Wayland from a live USB? (Ubuntu/Kubuntu)

    Jump

  • Thank you. This live USB defaulted to X11 for some reason, but I was able to change to Wayland after the session started.

    It turns out Wayland doesn't support my touch/pen-screen: ""Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported". So X11 it is.

  • I don't understand why they keep saying "the Trump admin is doing this", "the Trump admin is doing that", and so on. It isn't the Trump admin: it's the majority of USA citizens that's doing this and that. They voted it. They're the first responsible and guilty. Each and every single person in that majority.
