I did an initrd rebuild and rebooted.

Never trust cables and connectors -- you could try swapping HDMI cables. My experience with switches has been that they work well if you find a stable configuration (order in which systems are powered on), but screw up if something changes (new GPU, OS update, etc.) -- George N.

I was hoping to be able to use both GPUs, which I've been doing for years with a Windows VM and my old Nvidia card. I'd much prefer this to dual booting. I haven't yet managed to set up the VM correctly for the new card, but that's a separate issue. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

When I switched from nvidia to amd, many years ago, it was seamless. But that was older hardware, I didn't have two graphics cards (a builtin and a discrete), and I am using the radeon driver with an amd cpu, not an amd card with an intel cpu. Anyway I did a quick search and found this link that mentions something called prime that seems to do something like what you want. https://www.unixmen.com/using-hybrid-graphic-card-intel-amd-arch-linux/ ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
Re: Can one rescue a dead SSD?
On 11/5/22 15:27, andreas.fourn...@runbox.com wrote: So, a SSD just dieded on me, the root and home partition was on it. The computer froze and after a cold boot the BIOS doesn't find the disk anymore. I opened up the casing but couldn't see anything suspicious to the naked eye. If the disk is not visible anymore, no tool can help you, it is likely a hardware problem. Have another look at the part of the circuit related to the external power, that is the place where things can blow up. Something that may be tried is to have the SSD in a freezer for a few hours and immediately try it again while still very cold. The concept is that any half broken soldering may make contact again thanks to thermal shrinking of the components. You should be careful to avoid condensation on the cold part, but, well, there is not much to lose anyway. Another "fix lost electrical contact" trick is trying different positions of the drive and a bit of shaking or tapping. But if something has been damaged, you need a deep investigation of the hardware, with tools and knowledge that is not available to everyone. That is, something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_oBQ2UFZSU (SMD (de)soldering, thermal camera, ...)

Font Error Before a Display of the Grub Boot Menu
Hi, When I boot my machine I am getting a font error before the Grub Menu is being displayed but is disappearing before I can get a good look at it, which may be because of the Grub Boot Theme I am using, which has not installed its files into /boot/grub2/themes but has stored them in /usr/share/grub, irrespective of the error the grub menus display fine with the theme. The error message seems to be referencing efi/EFI/fedora/unicode.pf2 as a target but I can't be sure, but the theme being used doesn't use that file anyway. Is there anywhere I can look to find the message to understand what is being objected to? regards, Steve ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
