Explanation:

This is a Samsung tablet from 2014, currently has LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11), the last it can get. Since it's unused I did a little experiment until I find someone who will use it. Today I have found so here is the post.

After charging it to 100%, I disabled Wi-Fi connection, put it on battery saving mode and it's been on for more than 2 months. Battery is still in good condition after all these years I guess. :)

I just got an RX 6600 from second hand market and wanted to test it just to be sure. There was a Furmark screenshot on the seller's pictures which is tested on Windows.

However when I did the Furmark test's Linux version, while it was mostly similar, my memory clock shown as 875 MHz. It was 1750 MHz on seller's test. I don't know technical part behind this but this is a x2 difference I noticed. Also it was 14 Gbps on Windows while mine was 3.5 Gbps, the difference is x4 here.

There is probably a measurement difference between Windows and Linux drivers here, but like I said I don't know the technical details behind these tests.

So, is this the same / different measurement or should I be worried about this card?

Hi there!

I recently switched from Arch Linux after a decade and now settled on Void Linux. So far so good. However sometimes I gather minor things here and there. My current issue is, the proprietary drivers of Nvidia still seeking systemd for some parts and not sure how to walk around this.

I cannot suspend my PC because when I wake it up I always see something about nvidia-sleep.sh. Probably it cannot wake the GPU up properly.

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend ]; then
    exit 0
fi

RUN_DIR="/var/run/nvidia-sleep"
XORG_VT_FILE="${RUN_DIR}"/Xorg.vt_number

PATH="/bin:/usr/bin"

RestoreVT() {
    #
    # Check if Xorg was determined to be running at the time
    # of suspend, and whether its VT was recorded.  If so,
    # attempt to switch back to this VT.
    #
    if [[ -f "${XORG_VT_FILE}" ]]; then
        XORG_PID=$(cat "${XORG_VT_FILE}")
        rm "${XORG_VT_FILE}"
        chvt "${XORG_PID}"
    fi
}

case "$1" in
    is-suspend-then-hibernate-supported)
        # suspend-then-hibernate only works correctly if $SYSTEMD_SLEEP_ACTION
        # is supported, which was added in systemd 248.
        systemd_version=$(systemctl --version | head -n1 | cut -d' ' -f2)
        if [ "$systemd_version" -gt 247 ]; then
            exit 0
        fi

        echo "systemd version $systemd_version is too old to support suspend-then-hibernate with NVIDIA." 2>&1
        echo "Please upgrade to systemd 248 or newer." 2>&1
        exit 1
        ;;
    suspend|hibernate)
        mkdir -p "${RUN_DIR}"
        fgconsole > "${XORG_VT_FILE}"
        chvt 63
        if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
            exit $?
        fi
        echo "$1" > /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend
        RET_VAL=$?
        #
        # If suspend/hibernate entry fails, switch back to the active VT
        #
        if [[ $RET_VAL -ne 0 ]]; then
            RestoreVT
        fi
        exit $RET_VAL
        ;;
    resume)
        echo "$1" > /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend
        RestoreVT
        exit 0
        ;;
    *)
        exit 1
esac

I'm using Niri so no desktop environment here if that helps. My driver is nvidia580. Also using greetd (w/ tuigreet). So, what can I do here?

Linux void 6.18.38_1 
pkgver: runit-2.3.1_1
Nvidia 580.159.04 

Edit: Tried nouveau and suspend works with it. However because Nvidia didn't provide firmware blobs for my card (GTX 1080) I cannot use the open drivers well.

Edit 2: Tried to give power management from acpid to elogind, thinking it might help to fool this script since it's systemd's standalone part here. Currently elogind both handles my seat and power management. I actually had some hope here, but sadly didn't work. Here are my elogind config files anyway:

/etc/elogind/logind.conf.d/logind.conf
[Login]
KillUserProcesses=no
HandlePowerKey=poweroff
HandlePowerKeyLongPress=poweroff
HandleRebootKey=reboot
HandleRebootKeyLongPress=poweroff
HandleSuspendKey=suspend
RemoveIPC=yes

/etc/elogind/sleep.conf.d/nvidia-sleep.conf                                    
[Sleep]
AllowSuspend=yes
AllowHibernation=no
AllowSuspendThenHibernate=no
AllowHybridSleep=no
#SuspendMode=deep
SuspendState=mem standby freeze
HandleNvidiaSleep=yes

Nvidia, this is for you:

AI images: hide. Yeah, sure.

I guess old printed encyclopedias are much MUCH better than this shit for your child's homework. Ugh, this is so disturbing.
