Re: Need to use display compositor
It's enabled by default in XFCE, I had disabled it. It's a real compositor now I think, in my old XFCE 4.12.0 (on my LFS) I think it's just software rendering for some transparency effects and menu animations etc.

Fractal Focus case and Motherboards
Zema, what boards have you used in those Fractal Focus cases that fit perfectly (i/o shield mates up correctly with back of case) I'm thinking that my sister needs a new computer. She's got an old Nehalem Corei5 with 8 Gb of RAM running Windows 7 and she can't do much with it anymore for reasons obv...

Need to use display compositor
I've found myself wanting to use a compositor for desktop use now. I hate to do it, but ever since I changed the BIOS to enable UEFI and Resizable BAR, I've been having things like jerky window dragging (especially over top of the composited Firefox window... it's a compositor itself), jerky side sc...

Oops, I noticed a bit too late to do it now (have to leave) but we've got a new kernel. There's some stuff in there (e.g. amdgpu) that should be had.

Don't try another card unless it's happening again, but that's almost current stable (24.0.5 is) It could also be an issue with your display compositor.

OK, now... the reason your message is different (and possibly more hurty) than mine. Well, two reasons actually, but related here. Modern Intel CPUs issue a debug exception trap that assists this split_lock_detection. It's not using that for you, as it's using the #AC method rather than #DB. They ar...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
Yes, and the BIOS update evidently didn't fix that. efibootmgr still fails to write to NVRAM on this board. I don't care though, this will always work. There will be no more bios updates for me on this board though, MSI gives me the creeps and I doubt they are going to do anything with that now, if ...

Re: Manually Setting EFI Boot
So, to use the default/fallback it's just this (with it mounted at /boot but it wouldn't have to be that) grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --removable That will generate EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI which a UEFI bios will just go for, bypassing EFI boot vars in NVRAM (the switch seems ...

Re: pretty bad amdgpu fault last night
So, this changes how grub.cfg operates. I now have to stick my LFS kernel in the EFI partition (I'm using the EXTRAVERSION var in the Makefile to keep them separate) and now paths are relative to that because it's a mount, not a directory. Also, it's the UUID of the FAT32 EFI partition now, not the ...
