Hello y'all!

I'm trying to launch the game Star Citizen, and I get the error below:

Assersion failed!

Program: C:\windows\system32\winevulkan\vulkan.dll
File: ../dlls/winevulkan/loader.c
Line: 664

Expression: !status

For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts

(Press Retry to debug the application - JTT must be enabled)

I have three options:

  • Abort, which brings me back to the launcher and asks if I want to retry launch or verify the game files
  • Retry, which encounters the same error again
  • Ignore, which closes the window, but the game does not start despite the launcher stating that the game is running

Distro: EndeavorOS CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X RAM: 64GB GPU: Two Identical RTX 3060s

I currently have the PC configured for multiseat, where the system has two RTX 3060s, and two monitors/sets of peripherals. I used loginctl to assign seats.

I have two separate installs of the game, both in the default install location (/home/user/Games), for both myself and the second user on the system (for two simultaneous logins).

Wenever I open Lutris and go to system options, the Vulkan ICD loader dropdown menu only shows "Unspecified: Not Found (default)", and "Nvidia Proprietary: Not Found"

I tried this previously with Kubuntu, and I got the same error, but only on seat0. The game launched and ran fine on seat1. When checking the system settings in Lutris, it showed one selection for one of the RTX 3060s on both users.

I wish so badly that this would come to the US... I have so many games I never play that I wish I could sell off

Edit: nevermind, guess it's not real... sad

Not only for saving money, as when we upgrade the PC, I'm going to be able to sell off most of the components that get replaced, but space savings is also a big part of it. We're going to be buying an RV to live full time in soon, and the less space it takes up, the better.

Plus, we have used it in this configuration for almost two years now, and it has worked without issue (EasyAntiCheat doesn't play nice, but we don't play many games that use it anyway). And honestly at this point, I kind of enjoy the challenge lol

I currently have a PC running Windows 11 that my S/O and I use multi-seated with Aster Multiseat. However, we're both equally sick of Windows and are interested in switching to Linux.

However, all the information that I can find on multiseat in Linux are forum posts and unfinished wiki entries for Ubuntu and Fedora, and they all seem to be from around 2008-2012.

We're about to upgrade our PC to support two RTX 3060s and a Ryzen 9 (of course, including the usual two monitors and sets of peripherals).

Can Linux (preferably Fedora, as it's my favorite distro so far) easily support multiseating?

Will there be any performance issues using this method?

Is it possible to isolate applications per user? (Aster Multiseat doesn't do this, so sometimes an application can detect another instance on the other user and refuses to start...)

Thanks in advance.

There's a really nice mod on Nexus that allows you to hold the "R" key to dismiss your car, allowing it to drive off by itself just as it pulls up when you request it, and I find it so immersive. If the cars can fully drive themselves, then why can't they be your automated valet?

The PSU is currently being shipped, and the Amazon listing doesn't say whether those ones are included or not, so I wasn't sure (it only specifies the braided cables that are built in I think, which obviously). I can't seem to find the be quiet! cables anywhere but Amazon, and after purchasing them I got a message from the seller stating they were sold out.

I had not considered the cables would come with the PSU, however if they do, then I suppose I won't have any issues.

Edit: Nevermind. I looked at the Amazon listing again, and one of the images included is a diagram showing the cables that are included... duh, but I wish it was also included in the description...

I need to know what both the connectors are for this power supply, and if possible what to search for when I am looking up cables.

The cables from be quiet! are in the links below, however they are out of stock when I try to order them.

PCIe Connector

SATA Drive Connector

As the title says, who is Henry Kissinger?

I read this from Wikipedia:

"Kissinger pioneered the policy of détente with the Soviet Union, orchestrated an opening of relations with China, engaged in what became known as shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East to end the Yom Kippur War, and negotiated the Paris Peace Accords, which ended American involvement in the Vietnam War. He has also been associated with controversial policies, such as the U.S. bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, U.S. involvement in the 1973 Chilean military coup, a "green light" to Argentina's military junta for their Dirty War, and U.S. support for Pakistan during the Bangladesh Liberation War despite a genocide being perpetrated by Pakistan."

It sounds like he was a bad guy, but I know there's more to the story than that with the collective hate I see for him here on Lemmy.

Sooo... don't buy a Pixel 8 because of a design flaw is what I'm hearing? Thanks for responding, Google.

*Dev.

From what I understand, he does it all himself. Which just makes it all the more impressive.

I think it's less Musk hate/taking advantage of disabled people and more the abuse and misconduct when it came to these animals, and putting the fear into people that would ever be interested in this procedure that Neuralink would be extremely negligent when it came to installing and maintaining these devices.

Musk has said that these animals were extremely unwell/close to death when they were initially inducted into the study, but multiple anonymous employees have come forward stating that this isn't true, and Neuralink had extensive evaluation and training to ready them for the process.

Regardless of the state of their health or amount of training, multiple test subjects had bleeding of the brain, infections, and damaged caused by them picking/pulling at the devices installed onto them as a result of the negligence of the ones who conducted these experiments. Is it not common sense to assume an animal who has no idea of what is happening to them to understand that they need to leave the device alone? There should have been measures taken to prevent them from prodding at these devices so as not to cause damage to them and subsequent injury and infection. These animals are living, breathing, conscious beings that have thoughts and fears, and being a part of this experiment would be an absolute nightmare for any living being capable of thought.

As for installing these devices on people who suffer from paralysis, if the people involved in the trials are not challenged mentally and can make the fully conscious decision to give Neuralink their consent, then nobody can argue with that regardless of the possible dangers of doing so. The science and technology of brain computer interfaces is not something to be ignored. It can be extremely valuable and could quite literally change the world, but it has to be done correctly and with extreme caution.

I know Lemmy doesn't come with the ability to follow individual users, but the ability to do so client-side would be really nice.

Of course, this app is amazing as it is, and I'm super excited to follow its development. Thank you Mayayo!

I second this. Was really nice on the other app.

[-] Eric_Pollock@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Can you edit the name of the app? I can do this in Nova Launcher on Android
