I really don't care for the default basic grub that comes with the installation. I tried both grub2-theme-mint and grub2-mint-theme-mint2k, but with secure boot, resolution was "broken". I had rather large text and the background image was distorted to describe it best. Doing some digging,...

I have stock kernel 6.5.0-14 installed as well and tested but got the same results. From what I have deduced, everything is working properly. It's the fact that I have under volted my machine. It seems to actually enable and use PBO, you have to keep the voltages at stock. Due to heat, I prefer to u...

I'm using a custom kernel based off xanmod's 6.6 branch

I ran across this https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/15p4bfs/amd_pstate_and_amd_pstate_epp_scaling_driver/ and began to experiment. Looking more in depth at amd_pstate, I found in amd-pstate.c /* * AMD Energy Preference Performance (EPP) * The EPP is used in the CCLK DPM controller to drive * t...

peak temp for cpu at full load while compiling is ~56c, while running stress test (after 15 minutes) is ~50c. All other temps are between 36c and 44c. In windows, the cpu boost to about 5.5ghz with normal usage, but I haven't ran a stress test nor do I compile anything in windows (use windows for ga...

I have an amd ryzen 9 7900x. When at idle using ondemand or performance gov, the frequecy will switch from .4ghz to 5.7ghz with ondemand and stay at 5.7 when using performance gov (as to be expected). However, when I the cpu is at load, i.e. compiling a kernel, using s-tui, it appears to throttle to...

I would encourage all who try any of this to make sure your updates are...well.. up-to-date. Are you aware that Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Debian are not rolling distros so they purposely do not contain the latest version of everything? The link you provided about manually updating ucm is chopped up so I'm ...

So, I'm not sure if my front audio jack is working or not, but I do have usb audio though. I do not have a line-in device to test audio jacks. What led me here is snd_hda_intel 0000:11:00.6: no codecs found! What I found before coming here, was it seems alsa-ucm-conf is out-of-date as found in this ...

I lost my shutdown button yesterday as well. I had an update for Firefox, attempted to install it, but got an error (didn't retain or copy the error) which suggested running dpkg -- configure -a I found this https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=399435 that suggests enabling automatic updates...

Wow, y'all are getting a bit mean here... On a related note, I think this conflict with shim-signed and base files is also not allowing me to get other update thru update manager. Updates that normally come thru update manager like browsers updates. I may be wrong and this might not be related. Over...

The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: base-files This is why shim-signed isn't updating. Not exactly sure why base-files needs to be downgraded, but there is obviously a conflict with it upstream. If your computer is working fine, then I would recommend to follow what SMG suggested, you should...

My comment was questioning the addition Monitor sections. I'm not sure why nvidia-config created those (or what they are). Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Monito...

Spoke too soon. Editing out those 2 lines breaks nvidia powermizer... xorg.0.log is really long and I'm not sure if it contains sensitive info. I'll prune and post it later...

I'm guessing cinnamon is not liking something in the xorg.conf Not quite. Cinnamon can not run if X Server is not running because X Server runs the graphics. Without graphics, Cinnamon can not create a desktop environment. X Server log is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and I suggest checking that. In xorg....

I just thought to check my .xsession-errors file. I pruned out verything except entries related to cinnamon thomas@MiningPotato1:~$ cat .xsession-errors|grep cinnamon dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-cinnamon:/etc/xdg dbus-update-activation-environment: settin...

By default, normally all one has to do is boot Linux Mint for all three GPUs to be enabled. One does not need to run nvidia-xconfig to enable all the gpus. The data you posted indicates all three GPUs are seen by the operating system. There are three Nvidia GPUs listed with all three showing an Nvi...

I have a small mining rig (wip) with 3 evga 2060's. I have a monitor plugged in via HDMI in gpu0, and htey are all on riser cables, although this issue occurs even when having just 2 of them directly mounted to the mobo. Everything works fine if I run nvidia-xconfig --option; however, cinnamon crash...

Because AMD has this on/off thing with linux, I moved on to NVIDIA. AMD development on linux seems to have has come to an abrubt stop. At some point I read that AMD has hired more poeple to help with linux driver development, but I have yet to see anything updated. In order to use the amdgpu drivers...

I am pleased to report that I followed your suggestion and that I have completely recovered my system. There is some configuration work still to do but that's a trivial matter.

Thank you again for providing this help.
Best regrds,
hatrack

I'm happy I could help.

I'm glad you found the fix, and thank you for posting it for others. I'm not sure if it's limited to IBM devices as I had this issue on an older ASUS laptop on mint 15, and my last custom pc which was an ASUS mobo. But on my latest build, I booted to bios first and prioritized my boot drives. My gue...
