Switch between GPUs in Fedora35

by

Install Nvidia driver from rpmfusion, 

yum install --nogpgcheck https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/rpmfusion/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
dnf install akmod-nvidia

Before rebooting, must sign nividia driver using MOK.der, if not, we will receive at boot, "nvidia kernel module missing. falling back to nouveau".

Or install Nvidia driver from official site,

Clean up akmod-nvidia,

dnf remove akmod-nvidia
dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia

To blacklist the nouveau drivers,

dracut -v /boot/initramfs-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` --force

/etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

After rebooting, download NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-XXX.XX.XX.run from official site, install it using /root/signed-modules/MOK.* and reboot,
https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Check current GPU vendor, 

1

glxinfo | egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"

How to dynamically switch GPUs?

I found ue4 selecting /dev/nvidia0 by itself, we needn't care about if switch.

Build virtualbox in fedora35

by

Download VirtualBox source and extract it to /home/work/vb/VirtualBox-6.1.32.

Involve qt,

# read in ./configure
#	for q in $QT5DIR "$DEVDIR/linux.$TARGET_MACHINE"/qt/v5.*; do
# so download qt5.9.2 and install to /home/work/qt/Qt5.9.2
wget http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.9/5.9.2/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.9.2.run
# make a link to qt5.9.2
cd /home/work/vb/VirtualBox-6.1.32/tools/linux.amd64
mkdir qt
ln -s /home/work/qt/Qt5.9.2/5.9.2/gcc_64 `pwd`/qt/v5.9.2

Build it,

how to run,

cd out/linux.x86/release/bin/src
make
sudo make install

#sign generated vbox kernel modules

cd ..
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/work/qt/Qt5.9.2/5.9.2/gcc_64/lib:LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./VirtualBox

VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE? 

chmod ugo+rw /dev/vboxdrv

The VM session was aborted?

Maybe we forgot load vboxnetadp and vboxnetflt,

#modprobe vboxdrv
#modprobe vboxnetadp
#modprobe vboxnetflt

or the shared folder locates in U-disk but we have not mounted it.

Where to get guest additions iso?

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.32/VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.32.iso

But why my Fedora os often drops dead?

What can make system dead must be that the modules we insert to kernel have problem.

The correct way to insert modules is that we should install official bundle first which will insert an configuation file in /etc/udev, modify /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules, give current user read and write permission and reboot system that will effect the rule. Then install the vbox*.ko we built.

Install bare metal Linux dual booting with Windows

by

Installing Fedora is very straight forward, but

  • When clicking some avi suffix video file, I was prompted a GStreamer page, but no link to install missing plugins.

However I learnt

  • One disk must have its own EFI partition. For nowaday notebook usually has an SSD and an HDD, while SSD already has an EFI partition, when we have to install the second OS in HDD, the HDD must allocate an EFI partition too.
  • When we burn OS iso image into U-disk using UltraIso tool, we must select "RAW" mode, not others like "HDD+" mode.

'vboxdrv': Key was rejected by service

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install mokutil

mkdir /root/signed-modules
cd /root/signed-modules
openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=VirtualBox/"
chmod 600 MOK.priv

mokutil --import MOK.der

#After rebooting system

for modfile in $(dirname $(modinfo -n vboxdrv))/*.ko; do
  echo "Signing $modfile"
  /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file sha256 \
                                /root/signed-modules/MOK.priv \
                                /root/signed-modules/MOK.der "$modfile"
done

To play avi, rmvb files and so on, 

dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
dnf install vlc

Not set default editor to nano in cscope, 

cd /etc/profile.d
mv nano-default-editor.sh nano-default-editor.sh0

No sound? 

vi /etc/pulse/default.pa
	load-module module-alsa-sink device=dmix
	load-module module-alsa-source device=dsnoop
reboot

This method doesn't go very well, but I know the reason, I had replaced pipewire with pulseaudio while pipewire is the next generation.

Update grub, 

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

video_tdr_failure nvlddmkm.sys

by

不一定是显卡烧了。不要用Windows Update安装显卡驱动。

先彻底将显卡驱动卸载干净。右键点击“此电脑” -> “管理” -> “设备管理器” -> “显示适配器” -> 右键点击“NVIDIA GeForce XXX” -> “卸载设备” -> 勾选“尝试删除此设备的驱动程序” -> “卸载”。

再到英伟达官网下载英文版驱动安装：

https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

我的配置是1050 Ti, ok, it's already cost me an arm and a leg.
下载的驱动名是
511.23-notebook-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql.exe
安装后至今没出现什么问题。

另外，确定蓝屏原因的方法：

  1. 启动 windbg，菜单file -> symbol file path输入:

    1

    SRV*c:\temp*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

    然后确定。

  2. windbg菜单file -> open crash dump，选择C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP后，等待

    1

    Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information...

    字样出现后，点击“!analyze -v”超链接，可看到nvlddmkm.sys出现，说明是显卡驱动那里崩了。

确定蓝屏DUMP文件路径的方法：

右键点击“此电脑” -> “属性” -> “高级系统设置” -> “高级” -> “启动和故障恢复”中“设置” -> “写入调试信息”……

unicode in ctex

by

在英文Windows中，特别是使用了“用utf8提供全球语言支持”时，系统会把所有保存为GBK的api忽略掉，此时CTex只会识别utf8的文档，而utf16不会被编译识别。

同时在tex文件头部documentclass后要申明本文档为utf8格式。

%!Mode:: "TeX:UTF-8"
\documentclass[UTF8]{article}
\usepackage{CTEX}
\begin{document}
这是一个CTEX的utf-8编码例子，{\kaishu 这里是楷体显示}，{\songti 这里是宋体显示}，{\heiti 这里是黑体显示}，{\fangsong 这里是仿宋显示}，{\lishu 这里是隶书显示}，{\youyuan 这里是幼圆显示}。

build qt source in vs2022 win11

by

Don't download qt source in tar.xz format, for in Windows, if we unzip it using 7zip, some deep file paths may be truncated, for example, ECMFindModuleHelpersStub.cmake referred by FindEGL.cmake in qtbase\cmake\3rdparty\extra-cmake-modules\find-modules.

This time I download qt-everywhere-src-6.2.2.zip.

In preparation, as to README.md, ActivePerl must be installed, it sucks, we must have an account of it. However, we can find another perl alternative, Strawberry Perl portable edition.

When we build, qt source root path should be short enough like d:\qt.

Modify paths at the beginning of above bld.bat and put the batch file in the qt source root directory, then execute it.

ps1: all in one release of qt is like below url, but we should know all in one is not available since Qt 5.15.
http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.9/5.9.2/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.9.2.run
And we need download online installer for Qt above 5.15 if we don't want to build from scratch:
