So this means I have seen my handheld try to run the Rx 580 with errors and my old laptop can run the same Rx 580 in the same enclosure with the same cable and have none.

Finally had a breakthrough, but it's not the news I wanted to see. I was able to get my eGPU enclosure working with an old laptop that has a thunderbolt 3 port. It is producing no errors.

This suggests the most expensive part of my setup is defective, the handheld itself.

Tried swapping my 3060ti for an old AMD rx580 GPU. Same non-fatal errors. Actually even more of them than before. My monitor would periodically flicker too.

But it didn't ever outright crash for some reason.

Wish I had a modern AMD GPU to test out.

New TB4 cable arrived. The errors persist.

I tried hooking a desktop PSU to my Razer Core X Chroma to see if it was "dirty power", but the BadDLLP errors persist.

I could get my enclosure to connect, the nvidia driver would see my 3060ti inside, but anytime I ever tried to have it do work it would throw a fit and end up in some "turn on/turn off" crash loop.

I'm getting too old for this.

Realized an old laptop of mine also had a thunderbolt port. Thought I would use that to test if my handheld's thunderbolt port was bad.

Proceeded to spend 6 hours realizing this old laptop has its own issues with getting anything to work at all over Thunderbolt.

CachyOS uses a different nVidia driver (newer), a different kernel, a different display protocol (wayland), and a different desktop (plasma).

And yet the same exact thing occurred on CachyOS as it did on Pop!_OS.

After sleeping on it, (yes getting this far took the entire day, lol) this must mean something about my hardware is an issue.

Some sort of signal problem that the Windows driver can tolerate but that the Linux driver is sensitive to.

Looks like my display still crashes on CachyOS too.

Left a game running while I was eating and came back to a blank screen and a log with the same error as Pop!_OS.

Well it took all damn day doing it wrong over 200 times, but I think it's finally working thanks to installing the closed-source drivers and using this script to tell Wayland to use my eGPU.

Thank you ewagner12.

NVIDIA eGPU crash with Razer Core X Enclosure (Xid 79, PCIe AER errors) · Issue #3620 · pop-os/pop Describe the bug The system experiences random, unrecoverable crashes when using an NVIDIA GPU in a Razer Core X eGPU enclosure connected via Thunderbolt.

I did make some bug reports though, so hopefully some cool engineer somewhere can help.

I like that the error is "the GPU has fallen off the bus"

As I sit here, I am waiting for partitions to be made for my 2nd distro attempt. CachyOS.

The POP!_OS provided nVidia drivers are causing tons of "non fatal" errors until one is "fatal" and the display crashes.

It happened 4 times while playing my last Deadlock match, time to try something else.

Here it is. A GPD Win4 and Razer Core X Chroma eGPU enclosure with a 3060ti inside. It's worked well in Windows 10 and has been my daily driver for at least 2 years now.

First try has been POP!_OS. I hate the name, but I like the distro. It came with nVidia drivers pre-installed and it mostly "just worked" with my weird setup that I use.

With windows 10 sunsetting (unless you do one of the myriad of ways to extend it), I have been trying some Linux distros. I'm single, I'm 40, I'm unemployed. What better time than now?

Just one reason why I prefer the art to be in its own, separate repository.

Asset loading, POG!

And hang out with the Jazzy Senpai again? I'm in.

The most vr motion sick I ever got was while playing Minecraft. 😂

That's the nature of politics. Can't have a message that contradicts the boss, even when the answer is obvious. This does give the impression that nobody knows anything and that nobody talks to each other. It would be nice if the speaker of the house knew what the attorney general thought.

I'm about to start the miserable part. Creating the UI. What are you working on @aerze.bsky.social ?

Hey, me too. I am making a wheeeeel tool in Unity. WIP

The Protestants?

Washington DC has one of the nicest metros I have ever used.

How you liking it so far?

I started using the Zen browser. So far so good.

On second thought, I guess what you are rigging are not humanoid.

@fleck99pf.bsky.social might be of interest to you, or might be too late for now. 😅

Looking good. What's the black egg shape in the middle?
