[gentoo-user] Plasma 6
Hello, I've installed KDE Plasma 6 (plasma-meta) and all packages have built with no problem but whenever I start in wayland session it crashes out after a couple of seconds of logging in. X sessions works with no problems. So wondering if this is problem with just my PC or a more general issue and if wayland is ready yet for prime time. Thanks -- John D Maunder j...@jdm.myzen.co.uk

[gentoo-user] Video card temp and fan sensors.
Howdy, I got the new Nvidia Quadro P1000 video card in the other day. I got it installed. I was using the nouveau drivers in the kernel. They weren't up to the task. The display was slow and the mouse pointer was also slow to respond and jerky like. So, I downloaded and installed the Nvidia drivers and the response is hugely better. I expected those to include the drivers needed for the fan and temp sensors but it appears not. When I boot a kernel with the nouveau drivers, running sensors prints the fan and temp data for the video card. I know the card supports this, haven't seen a video card in ages that doesn't tho. So, what drivers do I need in the kernel to support the temp and fan data? I've enabled everything Nvidia I can find so it must be called something else and searching isn't helping any.

Oh, I also tried a slightly older Nvidia driver just to see if it was maybe a bug in the newer version. No help. Also, when I start the GUI and open the Nvidia software, it doesn't show the temp and fan info either. It's just blank. Any ideas? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] Video card temp and fan sensors.
With nvidia driver, you have to use nvidia-smi utility to get that information. While the driver takes over the hardware, no other type of software can access same sensors. So when using nvidia-drivers, no ssensors command. On 6/19/2024 10:30 PM, Dale wrote: Howdy, I got the new Nvidia Quadro P1000 video card in the other day. I got it installed.

It started acting weird as well. I thought it was me making changes in the kernel until I went back to a kernel that I knew worked. What mine does is this. The monitor seems to cut off and goes into the energy saving mode thing. I tried restarting display-manager over ssh from my main rig and even that did nothing. Then I tried something I didn't expect to work. I cut the monitor off and back on. It came on but was at a console. I had stopped display-manager so not to surprised really. I was trying all sorts of options including trying to switch to a console. That could have been how I ended up at a console. When it does that, power off your monitor and then power it back on. See what it does. Even it is truly crashing, I doubt it will hurt anything. Heck, it might actually come back on. Might give some guru on this list a clue as to the cause or some reported bug. At the moment, I'm trying to downgrade. Dale :-) :-)
