Howdy, A rather large update. It's got issues still but right now, I'm typing on the new rig which is not my old main rig, unless something happens to this new thing. Old main rig could find itself back again. Basically, I'm on the Ryzen thing. :-D
First, I couldn't open any of my encrypted drives due to missing kernel options. Fixed that. Then openvpn wouldn't work because of missing kernel drivers. Fixed that. Since I started with a new kde config, it to has issues yet to be banged into submission. I'm also on a new keyboard. Expect some typos until I get used to this dang thing. The keys are a little tighter than I'm used too. I suspect a new keyboard is on the horizon. This thing must be made for small kids. o_o Right now, only /home hard drive has been moved over. I still have half a dozen or so hard drives to move over and get working. Right now, I'm banging on KDE configuration stuff. If it doesn't straighten up soon, I'm copying the old config files over and it can just deal with that. o_O Right now, the second monitor seems to be having a connection issue. I had it working then when I pulled the rig out a bit to put in the /home drive, it went off. The cables are a bit short. I think it is pulling on them enough to disconnect it but not enough for the cable to just come out completely. I got cables coming. They longer and better. Another bug I found. I have 18 virtual desktops. Yep, 18. I use Ctrl F* to switch between #1 to #10. I can't recall but F11 and F12 is used by something else. There is no higher F* keys after that. They didn't see me coming. ROFL To avoid me having to switch to those, I don't put anything important there in case I have to use sysreq key to reboot or the rare occasion it crashes, like running out of memory during a compile. Anyway, I found where to set that but some don't work if I have Firefox on them. It seems Firefox is watching those keys and preventing the switch but not doing anything with them either. That's kinda bad since sometimes I need to switch to and from those to close things. Well, buggy and lack of configured as it is, it is working. I'm able to watch TV and the sound goes to the right place. I think I can beat the rest up until it gives in. Going for a knockout punch, or a hammer. ;-) That's it for now. May have new threads to see if I can get more setailed help. Oh, haven't added all the monitors to xorg.conf yet. Trying to get some things working first. Dale :-) :-)
