State of GSP Firmware with NVIDIA 565 on KDE Wayland

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 12:34pm

Hello everyone,

i read that a lot of people had issues with enabled GSP firmware in the past especially when using KDE Plasma on the wayland protocol.

From what i've seen nvidia started to recommend the nvidia open module driver including the nvidia open dkms dependecies starting with 560+. These drivers force the use of GSP firmware since you can not disable them with these drivers. Arch also recommends the installation of these in the official arch wiki.

Can you guys share your experience with nvidia open 565 especially with the KDE desktop environment on the wayland protocol. Do you still encounter any issues. I assume we are good now since nvidia recommends it and even arch wiki tells you to install these.

Kind regards

Genshin Impact not capturing keyboard input

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 9:56am

Kernel: 6.11.9 DE: Plasma 6.2.3 WM: kwin CPU: Intel i7-9700 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU Driver: 565.57.01 NVML Version: 12.565.57.01 Session type: Wayland Wine version: 9.20 Dxvk: 2.5

For some reason, Genshin isn't capturing any keyboard input. I have tried to use a X11 session think it would fix it, tried setting up proton, tried the third party launcher with no avail. This is the only game in my library that is behaving like this. Can anyone suggest solutions?

980ti doesn't play nice with Linux Gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 8:43am

I have two very similar rigs.

Both are the same Asus Motherboard. One has a 6700k GPU and the other has a 6500. Ram is similar, same brand.

The big difference between these system is the GPUs and how they're connected.

The i7 rig is a 980ti driving a monitor using display port. The i5 rig is a 1070ti driving a TV via HDMI.

I use endevouros os on both, so in theory they should be updated in a similar fashion.

The 980ti rig outright refuses to run specific games that the 1070ti rig has no issues with.

An example is the Steam Version of Sonic Mania.

I can't understand why one will and the other won't. The i7 rig is very choosey, where's the i5 rig and my steam deck, within reason, seems to support everything I try. I cant understand it.

Any thoughts?

Is Maxwell a known issue for Linux gaming compared to Pascale? Would using open source drivers rather than proprietary solve?

Thanks

Does WH40K Darktide work?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 8:39am

Does the game work on Linux? The reports I’ve read are conflicting. Are we anti cheat yet says it’s broken, while on ProtonDB it has a Gold rating. So does it work?

What is this logo?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 4:48am

I downloaded steam and when I opened the runtime it had some downloading and updating to do. That all seems normal, but the update had this logo instead of the steam logo. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm running endeavour in case it matters.

Kernel anticheat support would be good

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 4:45am

While kernel anticheat is bad for privacy, many linux users still dual boot with windows just for playing games like valorant.

While linux desktop market share is too low, supporting kernel anticheat would make some of these companies have interest with making a native linux version.

Steam Deck is becoming more and more popular. If it was allowed, Apex would still be on linux (and some games would have got a linux port.)

Linux is always going to have a small amount of users on desktop, and developers are not gonna care about it, if their anticheat dont work.

Kernel anticheat is becoming more and more used, if it keeps that way, we will probably have only single player games (and valve ones) on linux.

New GPU now it's not detecting?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 4:30am

I haven't had this problem ever since I've been on Linux but I got a new GPU a rx470 I put it in and it works fine except it doesn't in games cause in the graphics settings in pop_os I see llvmpipe which is not my graphics card and has to be the reason why I can't play any games.

I've tried to install Ubuntu drivers but nothing helps my PC also takes awhile to turn off now with the new card

How can I help my friend remotely with his DE?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 4:18am

So, over the phone/video, together we installed win11+Ubuntu LTS on a completely empty SSD (Cpu some Ryzen G with a GPU in it) and everything is set up fine boot-wise, as this is really not my first dual boot rodeo (only my first one for a while), but when booting into Ubuntu, the screen stays black, we can indeed invoke another Ctrl+alt+F1 terminal, log into it and then startx to get a very rudimentary screen output.

So I guess, Ubuntu is not able to execute Wayland?? and doesn't even bother to try startx anymore while booting? May that be correct? How could I try to help them, I mean, TeamViewer exists, but where do I even look for what happened? I don't even know if the newest version had xwayland, which would render it useless for the second afaik

I think I'm stuck at some bug where I literally have no fkn clue about anything of the codebase as wayland and x11 goes waaaaaaay above my head. I'm extremely confused that the typical boot path doesn't even output anything while I still can tickle the system for a startx

I will look into which kernel modules are loaded upon boot, as the USB image worked flawlessly, but I don't think this will be the very problem, as this is an AMD PC, so there are no propertiary drivers. That's the reason why I ask here about what to try else..

Nvidia Explicit Sync/Wayland Issues/fixes?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 4:16am

Hey all,

I'm sure many of you have also been afflicted by the botched switch to explicit sync. I for one can no longer play MSFS 2020 among numerous other applications I've had to work on fixing. I'm curious if anyone has heard if either the Wayland team or the 570 drivers are supposed to include fixes for the issues introduced in 550+?

I'd really like to enjoy current driver support and play the games I like... Also not have to fix everything the green giant breaks. Just curious, thanks 😎

Mouse recommendations?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Nov 2024 - 3:45am

So, I've had a Logitech G203 mouse for some years now, and I've had several issues with it: from the click switchs detecting double clicks to the scrolling wheel not detecting the scrolling correctly. I've been tinkering with it from time to time, but decided it's time for a change.

I first thought of a Logitech G502, a direct upgrade, but it seems like it suffers from the same issues. So maybe I should look for another brand entirely?

Here's what I'm looking for: • Linux compatible (obviously) • around the same price that a G502 (more or less) • At least the 2 side buttons (button 4 and button 5, those have given me some troubles too in the G203) • I don't mind color or RGB • That it lasts, at least more than a Logitech.

I don't know much about mouses, any suggestions?
