systemd-boot doesn’t have any customization options, sadly. It just provides a list of bootable options. I’d love to have a graphical representation for the boot menu even if it’s just seen for a few seconds. I like a little eye candy!
Fixing it wasn’t really much of an issue in my case, likely due to installing Windows on a separate drive (couldn’t remove the drive as it mounts behind the video card so I would have had to remove that as well). All I needed to do was basically just reinstall the bootloader from Pop after manually booting back into Pop OS from the UEFI. Providing the exact steps may be helpful as the steps in the link weren’t all necessary. Will do so! 🙂
They use a separate daughter board to connect the fans and IO cables for neatness and to help make accessing everything easier. The power button is neat! It uses a pin connector similar to ancient game cartridges to allow you to open up the front and sides of the case without having to fiddle with things very much 🙂
It has both onboard sound and a couple of PCI slots that I could install a sound card into, I just haven’t gotten around to plugging the cables in yet even though it’ll take five minutes. 😛
Installing Windows was rather complicated but it’s done. If anyone reads this and needs help: for System76 Thelio machines, you must choose the ISO option from Microsoft and not the MCT. The latter won’t been seen by motherboard. After you get the ISO, you need to create it using something like Rufus so it can install a dummy bootloader to it to be recognized. Took me half an hour to figure out. The guide from System76 does say to use the ISO but doesn’t say not to use the MCT so I thought it was more a matter of preference.
Additionally, you need to grab the full version of the AMD GPU driver from AMD’s website. For some reason, the minimal download version isn’t properly set as an executable so W11 won’t be able to run it even though it’s the W11 download on the AMD site.
Also, the wireless drivers aren’t automatically installed by Windows Update for an AMD board so you must use an ethernet cable initially. Once installed, go the motherboard manufacturer’s website (Gigabyte in my case) and grab them from the support page for your board.
Next, you need to install the fan board drivers from the link above if you don’t plug the fans directly into the motherboard. This process is relatively painless, it just takes a while for all the components to install as it checks compatibility for each package. I highly recommend doing this step right after the initial Windows Update and before the video drivers are installed to help quiet things down.
Finally, you need to repair the bootloader. Depending on the situation, this may require a live CD or USB device. In my case, I didn’t need one and could select Pop from the UEFI manually. Afterwards, you’ll probably want to set up a boot prompt so hold space while booting after the UEFI menu and then hit + for your decision time in seconds.
I haven’t plugged up the speakers yet so I may need to also install the audio drivers from Gigabyte but we’ll see
When trying to make nested lists, the UI pukes. Instead of creating a new list tag, it wants to close the main list. So one needs to manually type in the tag structure if they want to make a nested list. Annoying!
Yeah, the cache has been a bit odd lately. It hasn’t been updating as often as it used to so something definitely changed there
No issues arose while watching 4k videos or playing 0AD so now i can begin the long grind of figuring out what I need and getting things installed/set up. Will probably wait on Windows for a day or so so that I can reacquaint myself with Linux. 🙂
I haven’t really used KDE all that much, to be honest. Each time I’ve tried, I’ve had a variety of issues with it such as freezing, application crashes, and sluggish behavior. I really want to be able to use it as it’s gorgeous so I may give it another go soon. With all the developments with *nix GPU support, perhaps it’ll work much better 🙂
Weird! About all I can think of is a potential phishing attempt unless the folks over at the NYT bought them. They do have an interesting list of products (including former ownership of sports teams) but that doesn’t appear to be one of them. It’s also possible the system they use for emails got its wires crossed
Yeah, it’s a static blue. It would be nice if it only showed up when there were unread posts but clicking the unread icon on the subforums seems to do the trick as well. I can remove it if it’s getting in the way 🙂
We have ignition! Going to start testing it in a few minutes (posting from it now 🙂 ). Once I’ve done some good testing with 0ad I can start setting things up properly. Going to take a bit. It’s been a long time so I’m going to have to get used to things again but shouldn’t take too long! I may also need to install the AMD drivers for better performance. Will check on that before the testing 🙂
I probably do need to increase the font scaling, though. Everything looks so small on the monitor for my poor eyes 😛
Each item in a list needs to be denoted with the list item tag. The list type tags contain them and are only used once.
- test
- test
<ul> <li>test</li> <li>test</li> </ul>🙂
Not exactly lost. I knew where it should have been, it had just been buried under other things 😛
Not sure. I may use it for the coilgun when I get to it. At the moment, though, it’s a bit humid to be working in the garage.
Not bad temperature wise, only about 89F, but the humidity is absolutely terrible. The heat index as a result is over 100F! Even in the 70s, I’m drenched after just a short time.
Saw this one yesterday and, as far as slasher films go, it was really good.
Also saw Clue the other day and that was a blast!
And fixed 🙂
Still need to determine the right property value for display, though
Oh! I found my soldering iron! 😀
Awesome images! I should browse Deviant Art more often!
For a ship, the clowns could have a mini ship like a clown car 😛
Cool! Didn’t know about such a device. Will definitely need to read more about it!
I was thinking of setting geothermal generators in the volcanoes but TEGs could also be handy! How big can they be before efficiency tanks, I wonder? I don’t see that mentioned in the article. The idea with volcanoes is definitely worth exploring more!
So apparently, the h1 and h2 tags are set to display: none so only h3 will work. I’ve fixed the issue by setting the display to unset, which resets things back to the default behavior 🙂
Let me know if there’s anything out of whack! No idea why they would hide the h1 and h2 tags
Edit:
Looks like it caused the title to appear on the forum index. Guess that was a header tag 😛
I may be able to fix that issue. I clean forgot about the descendant selectors. It’s been too long since I worked with this stuff! It’ll come back to me as I go!
Hmm, unset may not do what I thought it does. The default is block but unset causes it to show inline….
The property value of unset is new to me as it didn’t exist last time I was working with CSS
I’ve set up a new section to hold testing threads since some of the bugs we’ve encountered break other posts in a thread. 🙂
Seems to be working here. Which editor are you using?
Sorry for the new topic. Wasn’t sure if you were done with the old sandbox posts
We should harness the heat from volcanoes for practical purposes. Many metals can withstand the temperatures so there’s no reason not to!
Mostly cleared and explored that area! Still need to find the last shrine and complete the other one, which I’ll do later. Just wasn’t in the mood for it 😛
I love how hidden cave entrances are now marked with Blupees (a blue spirit/rabbit thing that gives money when struck). Makes it much easier to explore!
And I got the Hylian shield! It was incredibly easy: all I did was summon a boat and then lit a pyre. Voila!
We need a show about literal clowns that develop a space program. Why? Why not! 😀
Amazing! Sounds just like a bird!
Had a new one crop up in my YT feed:
Absolutely love it!
