Source: linux Followup-For: Bug #989010 X-Debbugs-Cc: pitsior...@gmail.com About the logs. Did anyone of you reply to my question "where can I find those logs?" and I missed it? All I have found, again BY MYSELF, is this file here that when I run cat on it, gibberish shows up in the terminal. I can zip it and send it to you if you want to examine it.
# du -h /var/log/journal/somenumbersandletters/system.journal 25M /var/log/journal/somenumbersandletters/system.journal I have no idea what it may contain, because if it stores the logs from last 50 boots, it has been 2 weeks now and I boot my pc ~3 times a day, so most of those logs are probably gone. As for the hardware, it has been almost a week now that it works flawlessly with another nvidia gpu and 5.10.28 + nvidia 340xx. Can you imagine how boring it is to press the power button and see your pc boot just fine instead of checking the monitor to see if post/grub/boot messages/desktop showed up? How come this piece of hw did not become flaky, and the ones before it became just after one day of running with the new kernel? And what about nouveau and radeon? Running the "untainted" kernel on those (now broken) gpus did not do a single thing. Neither the nvidia continued to work, nor ati was saved from dying after the upgrade. About the "lots of bug reports about nvidia". Out of the 900+ (according to popcon) people (or systems) that run nvidia 340xx, how many of them do you think run testing/unstable? Judging from the feedback I get on my bug reports on every new kernel on which nvidia 340xx fails to build, I would say me plus 2 or 3 more. And those 2-3 people probably have different hardware than me, e.g. amd cpu and amd chipset, so the issue may not occur on their setups. As for the why use nvidia's driver? Because in order to prefer nvidia over nouvau you need to have demands and standards. If a simple user sees nouveau draw its 2d desktop fine, he will say it is enough for him. But, unlike that simple user, I, "unfortunately", want my driver to do hardware decoding on videos (we have 2021 and not 2010, so this should have been a standard now for all drivers), 3d and powersaving (also something that should be a standard). Do you now see the difference between something that "works" and something that works 110%? That's why I insist on nvidia's driver.
