overview for HarvesterOfEyes

How come nobody has forked Mumble to create a better Discord alternative? in c/foss@beehaw.org

Okay, what's the biggest and most active gamer community on Matrix?

As far as I know, https://friendlylinuxplayers.org/ . I'm sure it's not as active as whatever Discord communities you're in but it's fairly active and actually friendly.

[SOLVED] System freezes at boot and I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I use mkinitcpio. You mean regenerating the initramfs? If so, yeah I've done that a few times without much success. I suppose reinstalling the bootloader could be an option but I've tried using a live ISO from another distro (Ubuntu) and the problem still manifested itself. But it is something to keep in mind, so thanks.

Anyway, so far it seems to be a faulty PCIe slot, so I changed the GPU to another slot and things seem to be working fine. But I'll wait until tomorrow to do a final edit to my post.

PieFed isn't letting me edit the OP due to an unexpected error. The errors keep piling up, haha! [EDIT: It's fixed now!]

Just wanted to thank all of you wonderful people for all the help you've given me. I love each and everyone of you (even the ones who skimmed through my post :p). A user on the other thread I created in the Arch Linux community suggested I add the nomedeset parameter, with which I managed to boot into the system. I updated it and installed linux-lts along with linux-lts-headers. Adjusted /boot/loader/entries/arch_linux.conf to switch to the lts kernel by default and rebooted the PC. Unfortunately, didn't work but I got logs! Here's the relevant part, I think:

I did a search and it seems like it's the GPU's fault due to the ring errors. I think. I remembered I have an old nvidia GPU laying around so I'm going to try to reseat the current GPU and, if that doesn't work, try the old one. Not sure if I have to uninstall the amd drivers or if it's ok to have both the amd and nvidia drivers installed. If that doesn't work, I'm going to go through all the other suggestions y'all gave me to try and pinpoint the problem.

Again, thank you so much!

debug nomedeset

It worked! I managed to boot into the system. Updated it and installed linux-lts along with linux-lts-headers. Adjusted /boot/loader/entries/arch_linux.conf to switch to the lts kernel by default and rebooted the PC. Unfortunately, didn't work but I got logs! Here's the relevant part, I think:

EDIT in case you missed it: So, I changed the GPU to a different PCIe slot and everything's working fine so far. I'm not celebrating just yet because when this first happened a few months ago, I'd hard reset the PC and everything would work fine. But if I shut it down and let it pass like 12 hours before I'd power it on again, the problem would reappear. So I'm just basically waiting for tomorrow now.
