I believe I’ve actually had this happen with actual VLC, I think I just hit pause and then play and it was fixed. So maybe pause it for half a second after your seek.

To me that does sound like your initramfs just needed recreating, since un/installing a module will do that usually.

how do i do that?

Probably by editing your GRUB config or whatever bootloader you’re using.

Here is the EDID

Thanks, that should be enough I’ll have a look when I’m free. Also something like get-edid > monitor.bin would probably be easier for me though.

Edit: I’ve had a look, I can’t see any issues. Both checksums validate correctly and it advertises audio support. As you’ve probably seen in edid-decode, I’d expect it to show as ‘SONY TV’ (or at least for KDE ‘Sony SONY TV’ I believe).

I wrote a guide here: stevetech.me/posts/force-enable-vrr-edid

But it was mostly just changing random things and hoping for the best, so YMMV. I hope it helps!

None of my monitors (which are all DisplayPort) have audio, but one appears in the audio settings, so I’d say DisplayPort itself does support audio.

Is edid/sony.bin your new EDID? Does it revert back if you remove drm.edid_firmware all together?

Also, do you mind sharing your EDID? I had to edit mine to get VRR to work, so maybe there’s something invalid in yours. It does contain serial numbers though if that’s a problem.

I believe the main contributor for drm_panic wants to add one eventually. Here’s what it might look like:

Also it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (with white on black default).

Also a solution: Use Wayland, it’ll probably break other things, and Nvidia support is only just getting there; but it’s multi monitor support is amazing, so it should fix that issue. So maybe it’s worth a try?

For electron, if ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT and electron-flags.conf don’t work, you can also add --ozone-platform-hint=wayland to the end of Exec in each .desktop file (also works on Chromium, but not CEF AFAIK and sometimes CEF).

There’s also --ozone-platform-hint=auto if you find yourself switching between X11 and Wayland.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an AMD powered laptop unless it used an APU.

There’s at least 4 on AMD’s website, so they do exist but they don’t seem very common.

Also Intel has laptop chips, but I’m not sure if it’s actually discrete or just another die on the CPU.

The CAD files for the Framework 13 have also been out for a few years too.

but I can’t figure out which of the “0000:00:whatever’s” correlate to my Bluetooth card

lspci will list your PCI devices and their ID, but if it’s a combo WiFi & Bluetooth card, they usually use PCIe for WiFi and USB for Bluetooth.

I think it mostly relies on Glaxnimate for graphics and stuff, which supports most SVG and Lottie animations.

So there’s not really a library, but things aren’t hard to find.

Online screen recorders already exist too, I also don’t think it really needs any server side logic either.

I don’t think Windows has swap partitions, you could maybe install a basic installer to the recovery partition, repartition in that (copying the ISO between partitions), then load the full ISO.

I don’t know anything that can do an in-place ext4 conversation, but there’s ntfs2btrfs which is already in the Debian repos if you’re okay with BTRFS.

Of course, backup anything important, ntfs2btrfs should create a backup snapshot if you need to revert back to NTFS, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Just curious, what parts aren’t open source? At a glance it seems like they’re working on supporting self hosting and I couldn’t find any binaries.

This might be just me, but I prefer remembering what the keys actually do:

• R - Raw keyboard
• F - Free mem
• E - End everything
• I - kIll everything
• B - reBoot

Also good to know:

• S - Sync drives
• U - Unmount drives
• O - power Off
• C - Crash

How can I do that with dpkg(1)?

You can install .deb files with apt by prepending a ./, e.g. sudo apt install --no-install-recommends ./docker-desktop-4.30.0-amd64.deb would work. I usually avoid using dpkg unless I have to.

Also:

• That deb file is for docker desktop, which you said you didn’t want?
• Is insapp an alias or something?
• You were running sudo apt-get install -f before, was your install already broken?

Your description is mildly confusing to read, could you provide a list of commands? You can check history for this.

Sometimes APT can auto install recommended packages, adding --no-install-recommends disables this temporarily.

Edit: Also you’re using PopOS which is Ubuntu based, usually using Debian packages isn’t an issue on Ubuntu, but sometimes it is, and something like docker should have an Ubuntu version.
