geniiLooks like a nice box02:06
geniiDid you install lowlatency on purpose?02:07
mamarleygenii: It was more to indicate I had already upgraded to Groovy than about the box, but it is a NUC8i7bek.  You saw the processor, and it also has Iris Plus 655 graphics and 128MB of EDRAM.  I did install lowlatency on purpose, and what I'm running right now is a custom-built 5.7-rc3 with https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/log/?h=wip-rps (which is itself derived from drm-tip) merged.  That branch contains a major change in how 02:11
mamarleythe iGPU clocking is done that significantly improves performance on large displays like 3840x2160 while somehow improving power consumption as well.02:11
mamarleyThat came as a result of me filing https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/1698, which was due to a performance regression I noted between 5.6 and 5.7.02:12
geniiCool02:14
geniiMy newer laptop has that GPU02:17
geniiI'm running stock 20.04 on it righ now02:18
mamarleyFor me, this setup replaced a Skylake i5 desktop.  It is just a little more powerful on the CPU and uses less power going full-tilt than the old one did at screen-on idle.02:26
mamarleyAt screen-off idle, it uses so little power that the wattage indicator on the UPS reads off-scale low!02:26

RikMillsshould probably change that :P10:11

IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Fwd from nggraham: 5.69 refactored the overlaysheet substantially and it causes quite a few regressions that have been fixed in 5.7018:41
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Fwd from nggraham: If it were me, I'd skip 5.69 for that reason and just got straight to 5.7018:41

IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> In case anyone want to try VenToy, Kubuntu 20.04 requires the beta release: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/tag/v1.0.08beta218:50
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> It is really slick!18:51
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Oooooooooooooooooooh18:52
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Unpack the .gz file, CD into ventoy-1.0.08b2, and run sudo ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdx    <—- where sdx is you usb drive.18:58
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> sounds like something popey and wimpress would love19:00
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @DarinMiller going to post that on the testing group?19:00
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> sure :)19:01
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I think I need to file a bug against KDE Partition Manager for not recognizing exfat support built into the kernel.  exfat-fuse is required to format a partition in partition manager. I would think exfat-fuse should not be required, no?19:14
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> I thought so19:14
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @DarinMiller does it work if you install exfat-utils without exfat-fuse?19:28
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> good call, just exfat-utils is required19:31
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> annoyingly exfat-utils recommends exfat-fuse :(19:32
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> exactly19:32
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> maybe that is more of the bug now19:32
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> creating the bug report now... but is that now an exfat-utils bug?19:34
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> well, if that recommends is not superfluous, and actually not good for users, then I would say so. i.e. a packaging bug19:36
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> it obviously made sense before the kernel support19:36
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> agreed.19:37
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42072319:39
ubottuKDE bug 420723 in general "partitionmanager does not recognize exfat kernel support" [Normal,Unconfirmed]19:39
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> I think it needs the exfat-utils even for kernel support, but could be wrong19:51
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I suspect you are correct, but I wanted to raise the question to verify assumptions.19:53
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Yep, you were correct.  exfat-utils is required but not exfat-fuse.20:42
geniimamarley: is graphics-drivers still being updated, or is it just being rolled into the normal repos now? 21:41
genii( seing a user complaing about vulcan problems but apparenlt no later driver ther, or apparenly for 20.04 either)21:42
