When you run 'dnf update ', you want it to say it's going to install kernel 6.9.X.

Boot to the previous kernel and run updates until you get a 6.9, or go download and install the rpms yourself.

They pushed a bad patch with 6.8.10 I think? They had to roll it back and push another real quick, but some caching issue still delivered it to a bunch of people. You should on the 6.9 line now anyway as 6.8 is EOL.

You don't need to even make your activity public, just someplace people can see relevant stuff you've been working on.

Fork some repos, contribute some PRs to some projects you like, and generate some activity if you'd like though. People love to see that.

Do some writeups and post them online, get a public GitHub presence going, and link all those together from some central homepage or LinkedIn or whatever you like. Then try to land some interviews.

Your disks volume can't boot, so it's dropping you to a prompt to investigate. You need to run a disk check with 'fsck' at a minimum. If you're not familiar with the CLI , just boot a LiveISO, and check your system disks from a desktop you're familiar with.

No, like VScode or similar. That's probably where you're going to find a feature like this.

You probably want a code editor then.

I doubt toolbars in a rich text editor specifically for Unicode symbols would be a thing, because...why?

There's definitely VScode extensions that would show the glyphs or convert the actual unicode hex to whatever it should be.

Very interesting. Not what I was expecting on a Monday morning.

Bad memory or storage

I would run a check, then balance, then see if it's still throwing errors. It sounds like something has caught, but if there's an errant snapshot I wouldn't worry about it.

This, or you could just symlink a folder in your home to wherever a wine prefix would be to run it.

 

A lot of people here seemed excited for these chips. It'll be very interesting to see the gaming performance as this could bring in an entire new segment of portable devices running Linux if powerful enough to deliver solid battery life and CPU performance.

 

Overall, probably a positive thing as the improvements made here will flow downstream. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the performance of these new Qualcomm chips in laptops.

 

Tldr; Have tested multiple different Ryzen 7000 configurations on various kernels, and the power draw just seems really bad.

Been looking for a decent new laptop workstation that fits various tasks. Phoenix chips check a lot of the boxes that I want, but the power draw on Linux for these chips seems a bit...crazy.

The product docs say these chips are 35W-45W, but I figured that was just the range of maximums. What I'm seeing on fresh installs of various Debian variants is a CONSTANT power draw of at least 35W on the low end at all times. I've stepped kernel point releases from 6.0 to 6.6 to test out, and the later versions are definitely better at using a bit less power thanks to the amd_pstate_epp being included directly in the kernel, but this power draw is still there for the CPU package on idle.

A few different laptop models I've tested will only get 90 mins on battery because of this. I've now tried four different models from three different manufacturers, and all show the same type of power draw.

Is this just a "thing" with these chips? I understand they were modified from desktop to be a more mobile platform, but this is just terrible from an end-user perspective. I want the CPU and iGPU, and hell, even the FPGA XDNA thingie, but not when the machine can't run off of AC.
