Hey I was just wondering if there is a way to install pop alongside a pre existing windows 11 install. I do not want to reinstall windows if at all possible. If there is a way to do this I would appreciate if someone explained the process to me.

I do not know if I should post this here or in Lutris' forums or Wine's forums.

Here is the issue:

In System Shock Remake, I was able to select DLSS.

Recently I used Winetricks to install all codecs (this could go no further than Indeo due to the Netscape problem).

Now, I am unable to select DLSS anymore. So obviously the codecs install did something, but I can not fathom what.

If someone has any advice on how I might fix this I would be grateful.

EDIT: I am using Sytem76's Nvidia drivers for my Laptop's RTX 4050.

So I'm trying to use xrandr to write a script that switches between my TV and 2 monitors. I use arandr to export a bash script... but when I run it, it usually results in a black screen where only my cursor is visible, then I have to restart my machine.

Example code:

Enable TV

xrandr \
  --output HDMI-0 --primary --mode 3840x2160 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal \
  --output DP-0 --off \
  --output DP-1 --off \
  --output DP-2 --off \
  --output DP-3 --off \
  --output DP-4 --off \
  --output DP-5 --off

Enable monitors

xrandr \
  --output HDMI-0 --off \
  --output DP-0 --off \
  --output DP-1 --off \
  --output DP-2 --primary --mode 2560x1440 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal \
  --output DP-3 --off \
  --output DP-4 --mode 2560x1440 --pos 2560x0 --rotate normal \
  --output DP-5 --off

Any ideas what could be causing the problem? The TV uses a different refresh rate, and also the TV is HDMI while the monitors are DP. All screens are connected to the same discrete GPU.

I've tried a lot of variations of these commands... but I've never gotten to something that has reliably worked. When just changing my display settings through the pop_OS settings GUI, there's no problems.

Hey guys! Yesterday I installed pop_os on my HP laptop with a Ryzen CPU and 2 nvme SSD's (if that's required info) and after having tested it so far I've come to like it a lot. Every other distro I've tried on this machine has had some annoyance or the other but pop seems to be above all those which I'm digging about it so much. Almost the last thing I want to add to this installation is hibernation as I use that feature often. I've tried guides online but haven't been able to get any of them to work. If someone could make an easy to follow, step by step guide for that then I would appreciate it a lot. I'm also new to reddit so if something's quirky about this whole thing then just ignore. If you need anymore info kindly leave a comment. Pls help! Thank you!

Following is a screenshot of my nvme drive on gparted:

The built-in screen capture utility that comes up when you press the "Print Screen" key is buggy. It just disappears when you start recording and stop recording. Videos don't always get saved correctly. And I can't record again after stopping. The program doesn't come up again. This happens both on actual hardware and in VirtualBox. Is Pop!_OS aware about this bug? Has anyone reported it to them? Thanks.

Hello there,

I'm quite new to the pop os community. Here's the deal, i've been playing on my steam deck for the last few months and i'm so impressed by the progress we've made on linux for gaming purpose. So i'm considering switching my main PC to linux, and POP os seems the recommanded choice by far.

I've just bought a second M2 SSD drive; i would like to keep my windows on the first one for my wife, but i'm unsure on how to process. I've read many topics, some people are advicing to unplung the first drive and do a clean install, somes others are just telling that they did not bother ... So i'm asking here for some advices coming from you people :) . WHat should i do in order to install properly my POP os , and to be able to boot on either one drive or another ? I've seen some people using reFind, what would you recommend to be able to choose between two OS at boot ?

Here's my configuration.

- Intel i9-10850K CPU u/3.6Ghz

- Z490 Aorus mother noard

- Gygabyte Nvidia 3070

- 32gb of memory

- 1 NVME windows 256 Gb

- 1 NVME 1Tb

Thanks everyone.

this lil pill popped up above my panel (dock to panel btw) ive restarted everything, full restarted my pc and i still don't know how to remove it

When I hit the super key to search apps, LibreOffice Writer does not show up at all, neither by name nor keywords. If I search under "Applications," it's right there and comes up on search. Anyone have an idea of how to get back my super key shortcut?

So I bought Sony headphones (wired) off of amazon and when I plugged them into my laptop it doesn't detect it I tried this guide on the system76 website and it didn't work

I am new to Linux so I don't know about controlling fans. My system is HP Omen 17, i7 13 gen, rtx 4060. I have installed coolercontrol but is not detecting the fans. I have also installed fancontrol which is not starting. My fans do run at varying speeds but not high enough.

Can anyone suggest what should I do I tried reinstalling and uninstall driver and also pop os guess what it didn't work. Should I downgrade my kernel or not. So if I downgrade it which kernel version should I choose. Please help.

Hello! Yeah its me, again. i update the pop os kernel (6.12.1-1-liquorix-amd64) and reboot it, after that my wifi driver is gone, when i try to reinstall it i got this error, (why dont you go to old kernel?) I tried that, but because i reinstall my wifi driver (using delete and install method) it overwrite my old kernel with the new kernel that have a problem with my wifi drivers, this is my make.log https://pastebin.com/25VwQ8fd

I am currently struggling with an issue on a new Lenovo IdeaPad 9 (AMD + Nvidia) laptop (16AHP9)

Problem is that when I suspend the system and then I close the lid, the system wakes up immediately. If I keep the lid open I don't observe any issues and the system keeps sleeping.

Some additional information:

• I'm running PopOs 22.04 + Nvidia
• this CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS) supports only s2idle sleep (no deep), so this is the one it's used currently
• solutions I already tried and did not work:
  • add a new custom rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/20-suspend-fixes.rules with multiple entries like ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="acpi", DRIVERS=="button", ATTRS{hid}=="PNP0C0C", ATTR{power/wakeup}="disabled" pointing to all devices that seem related to LID switches
  • change all *Lid* configurations in /etc/systemd/logind.conf to ignore lid actions
  • modify /etc/UPower/UPower.conf and set IgnoreLid=true
  • create a service that disables all devices in cat /proc/acpi/wakeup (makes sense it did not work, as these have S-state S3/S4
  • blacklisting the ideapad_laptop module

I already wasted too much time on this issue, but in the end what I want is that closing the laptop lid does nothing at all.

Is there something else I can try to disable completely the switch before I go completely crazy and disassemble the laptop hinge to unsolder the physical switch?

How to get these types of gradients on Zen browser??

I am using Pop os 22

Hi everyone!

I'm relatively new to Linux and Pop!_OS, so forgive me if this is a simple question. I've been loving the experience so far, but there's one thing I'd like to tweak: the top bar of system applications.

I'm talking about the bar that shows the close, maximize, and minimize buttons (sorry, I don't know its official name!). For some applications, like the terminal or the Arduino IDE, I'd like to either remove or customize this bar to save screen space or improve the look. However, for others, like the file manager, I'm okay with leaving it as it is.

I've attached some screenshots to clarify what I mean:

• Terminal: I'd like to remove or customize this top bar.
• Arduino IDE: Same here and for the rest of apps.
• File Manager: This one is fine as it is.

Is there a way to do this in Pop!_OS? Any pointers or tools you'd recommend? I'm open to learning!

Thanks a lot for your help! 😊

340.108 pop 22

I've been using Pop os for about 8 months because of my job, 4 days ago my pc started getting very laggy randomly and looking through system monitor I can see that my cpu usage is spiking a lot (the temperature of all cores are normal +/- 50ºC ) and I dont have any programs opened. Firstly this was happening only when my laptop was charging, Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-71M2, but when trying to resolve this problem, and trying multiple fixes, the problem began to happen even if it was on battery. I've upgraded a package called system76-power that seemed to resolve the issue for a long time, I thought it was fixed but then in the other day the spikes began again. Now i've formated my pc and with an clean installation and i'm still getting these high cpu usage readings, my pc is almost unusable :( . What is causing this? I've tried so many things already, im beggining to loose hope.

I've tried to use another power supply (from my friends acer nitro) other than my original one to charge it, and it is still all laggy

the cpu spikes coincide very much with the network spikes in system monitor

Would appreciate some advice if anyone has a fix for this. Intermittently, Pop OS seems to change my power settings to the defaults and it's kind of annoying.

It resets to balanced, auto sleep on. And I'd like to choose when to lock the screen/put it in sleep manually. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Pop has been perfect for me besides this one weird quirk.

Hey all, I've been using os for a couple of years now but I haven't gotten too deep in using Linux at the command line. I'm getting into ESP home So that I can set up sensors around my house using home assistant. Installing ESP home onto either a esp32 or esp8266 should be pretty straightforward since there's a web page that you can access which will install the firmware directly to the serial port. My problem is that I simply can't figure out how to get any web browser to recognize my com Port when I have a esp32 board connected to it.

Is anyone aware of any guides That will give a browser access to my com port?

How can I run a game using wine with descrete dGPU from a .desktop file?

I've been trying to find a way to play GTA SA using my dGPU as default, but it's runs through Wine!

I found a way to make a .sh file then get it into a .desktop launcher (I'm using Make Launcher), but then it's giving me "broken desktop file" error.. Could be a problem with the path directing to the executable? If so, how can I set it correctly? Also, since it's a .sh, do I need Terminal option to be True? (I'm totally new to Linux, I just installed it yestrday, so plz bear with me, and if you would explain technical stuff like I'm 5yo it's highly appreciate)

Yesterday installed PopOS and at first boot it booted me right into NVIDIA graphics. But after the first boot, it always boots me into intergrated graphics, lspci doesn't show my nvidia gpu only intel one. nvidia -smi says i don't have any nvidia drivers installed. The iso was with the nvidia drivers. Can anyone suggest a way out?

from this week i will start using pop_os as my only os. I was wondring if there is any way to play games online such as FC25, DB sparking zero and CS:2...

I know online on linux is very rare for anti-cheat policies but if there is anything else you could share with me I would appreciate it

Hi,

I just started my computer and got this weird screen for some reason (sorry for the picture, I can't take screenshots).

I have absolutely no clue about what could cause this bug.

The system is not connected to the internet, so no apt update or apt upgrade.

I've tried to repair the installation from a live USB stick but the option "repair install" is not present on the installer.

I'm really sorry, i don't have more informations on my issue

Well,

I'm attempting to install COSMIC Epoch 1 (alpha 3) on the Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS alpha on an old Dell XPS13 9333 laptop.

I can boot the live system, and do an install, but once I reboot I'm told "Operation System not found". I did NOT encrypt the drive.

Previously Elementary OS was on this machine, but I wiped the SSD clean with gparted.

Any thoughts about what I've buggered up?

Thanks,
