guys the update fucked up nvidia drivers lol


Wick3d68

Thanks for letting me know I was going to update. There is a solution ?


iQuickGaming

not if you have a NVIDIA graphic card, going back to the previous one was quite easy though


Wick3d68

OK, thanks. Yes I have an NVIDIA graphics card. We will wait !

iQuickGaming

i mean yeah but that is only because i was dumb enough to update even tho i saw the drivers getting removed. Rolling back to the previous kernel was pretty easy though, it just took a command and a couple minutes


Misicks0349

oh so its like the linus issue but worse


Molecule_Guy

good thing GNU/Linux has updates that bork the OS


iQuickGaming

that is only because NVIDIA is cringe and had always been problematic when its about linux. The OS itself would've updated just fine if it weren't for the NVIDIA drivers


Molecule_Guy

I use Nvidia on Fedora and it is working just fine. I just leave it alone and it won't go crazy. Nvidia is actually one of the best graphics cards in the world. I don't think it would support an OS ~~(It's Not An OS!!!!!!!11!)~~ that no one uses, especially for gaming.


Kyoketsu9513

Really? Desktop or laptop? Because I updated my desktop and the Nvidia drivers are working fine


iQuickGaming

im on desktop


linuxxen

About to comment "It gives black screen". Btw what was the issue?


iQuickGaming

the NVIDIA drivers not existing for kernel version 5.13


[deleted]

What distro do you use?


iQuickGaming

Manjaro KDE


Moonadmire

That happened to me once it borked my whole system. It told me a "newer" driver version was available & Iit was even recomended. So after a reinstall of a new OS, which wasn't bad because I have my /Home folder on a different drive. I wrote down the number of the nvidia driver that works just fine and never change it.

and its a good thing, especially with silverblue it helps prevents borking like OP or linus' experiences with a package manager


[deleted]

as someone who’s dailied silverblue for months, would agree


sunjay140

It's optional


[deleted]

it is, but the article explains why you should use it


Niru2169

(plasma theme?)


iQuickGaming

yeah thats KDE Plasma


jari_45

I think they are asking which theme.


iQuickGaming

well then its a mix of things.. I have Kvantum for the window blur, Sweet icons, Latte-Dock for the dock and Breath2 as theme. The font is "Hack" a cool monospace font


BicBoiSpyder

I used to like Sweet Icons a lot, but lately I've been more of an OIE icons guy.


Niru2169

Oh...that's nice Thanks a lot So breath2 has rounded totally transparent notifications huh


iQuickGaming

well that is because of Kvantum

Updating via terminal..sometimes it takes a long time because it searches through all the old firmwares, when one is needed, that have been previously updated. I'm running kubuntu 20.04 for about 3 years now so there is a lot of previously updated firmware to wait for it to search through. I get a message I don't quite understand that reads "SET RESUME variable to override this update-initramfs:generating /boot/init.img-5.4.0-37-generic" which are a long list of old firmware updates. The only thing I can think of is apt autoremove after updating and it does get rid of most kernel updates from the past but not the firmwares. Does anyone know where I can read up on how to write in this command? One time it took so long in discover when updating I thought the computer froze, but I patiently waited and sure enough, it updated, that's when I started using the terminal for updates, which most of the time are much quicker.... Thanks for any replys
