Initially I got an error aplay: main:831: audio open error: Device or resource busy However I realized pulseaudio was not letting me use aplay... Please explain that statement. Pulseaudio is the main sound server in Linux Mint 21. I don't understand why pulseaudio would not let you use aplay. Perha...

Alright, so running inxi -Gx still displays N/A However, during the computer's boot process, a blue window showed up, before showing me the screen where I choose between Mint and Linux The options shown on the screen were as follows : Continue Boot (which I selected this time) Enroll MOK Enroll key...

No when i had all the devices plug in the sound settings was full (for devices in the bar). When i removed 2 of them it made space for me to see the phantom Headphones Family 17h (models 10h-1fh) HD audio Controller so show in the bar for a split second. So i believe this rogue phantom device Headp...

... I enter the same password in and select OK. This returns me to "normal terminal", where an additional line is now present Adding '/var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der' to shim: I don't know why you were asked for the password twice. And then not asked for it after you rebooted. Try shutti...

So, I have run sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key I have then entered a password twice. I have already gone through this process, but my computer never asks me to enter the password after reboot. Do I need to use it in the Login Window? If you run inxi -Gx is the Nvidia driver showing as lo...

The system basically just stops responding to anything, it does not unfreeze as I have waited for hours. Everything stops working, not just something specific from what I was able to observe as I also have some services running and I can externally see that they are no longer online. As mentioned, ...

Regarding secure boot, I do indeed have it enabled, running the command you sent me confirms it. I don't really know what it does, my brain just saw secure during the installation process and thought "oh hey that's neat", so I clicked it, didn't put much thought into it lol. It is a means...

Yes, I went back a few days with the timeshift to before I was experiencing any issues. So what is/are the current issues? You have multiple devices so please give details of what you are trying to do, what you expected to happen, and what is actually happening. Please upgrade to the latest amdgpu ...

...but it seemed to crash more frequently while I'm working on it (verses being idle) but especially if I'm accessing or writing files directly to my USB device. Can you test the system without having this usb device attached? Just upload the information from that computer instead of transferring i...

I'm a bit of a newbie at this stuff, so forgive me if I am missing something obvious. Welcome to the forum, RTXuser . Installing the driver and having it load at boot time are two different steps. Is secure boot enabled? You can check by running the following in a terminal mokutil --sb-state If it ...

Thank you, when attempting those steps I get the following errors, is this likely to be the cause of my problems? Because now it's really bad, like extremely distorted and a little phasey all the time. Those are not errors. They are warning messages. Your system has Renoir and none of those are for...

So i install the proprietary Nvidia driver and there was no change but i think i found the culprit. I removed my headset and usb mike and looked at sound settings and saw Headphones family 17h flash by in a millisecond followed by a pop and sometimes a system freeze. Am I understanding this to indi...

Okay. Let us know if things get better.

I've solved.

unfocused = not focus When select primary monitor, the second monitor gains this watermark and vice versa What do you have showing on your primary monitor? Do you have the monitors set to mirror or extend? Please open the System Reports app and click the System Information tab on the left. Your com...

Not transparent, I'm use two monitors and he display this watermark on unfocused monitor What is an unfocused monitor? A watermark is something that is usually across the top of something. One can see the words of the Ubuntu forum post are on top of the Linux Mint logo and not the logo being on top...

FennFelis wrote: ⤴Wed Apr 24, 2024 9:24 pm How to remove this watermark when use two monitors?

That looks like your desktop background and not a watermark. It seems your browser background is transparent?

Look in the upper left. You can also see your Home folder you have on your desktop right above the Trash.

Ok Fresh install, ran update and upgrade. and fixed the wifi. All three problems are still there but 75% less frequent and severe. And the audio spikes are gone. So what now Take a Timeshift snapshot and then install the proprietary Nvidia driver would be my recommendation for next steps. Then give...
