Linux GPU Configuration Tool 'LACT' adds NVIDIA support
16 Nov 2024 at 9:07 am UTC

For my 3060 Ti, the stuff on the info page seems to work fine, but the OC and Thermals page don't; says "No sensors found" and "No fan detected". I have the nvidia-smi tool, so I assume the necessary NVML stuff is also present...

Quoting: GOL_USERbe nice to have a better updated version that all can play instead of a limited upgraded version only green team can play.
Have they said anywhere that it will require an Nvidia card? If I remember correctly, Quake2 RTX initially did (because nothing else supported ray-tracing at the time), but now you can run it on any GPU.

Seems like "Annie Bunny" would be more satisfying...

I see Bill Tiller has reverted to Autumn Moon, I guess to match the original game. He did "Duke Grabowski [External Link]" as Venture Moon. I enjoyed it, but it must not have sold very well, as it doesn't have many reviews and now lists at $1.99 (it *was* on the short side).

Quoting: BlackBloodRumoptions in the case of games likely to remove content or remove it from you: - GOG
As best I can tell, GOG doesn't list prior versions for download. If you haven't previously downloaded a prior version, you have essentially the same problem...

Hopefully they aren't trying the Disney trick of "back into the vault so we can release to the 'next' generation at full price".

I think King's Quest 7 was one of the early attempts at "cartoon style" art for adventure games. I never did play that one, or KQ8, but I think the latter's early 3D aged far less well.

Quoting: whizseSomething happened between the developer and the publisher so it's no longer for sale.
Wikipedia doesn't provide any background info, but the developer and the publisher are one and the same. Perhaps Agustin had a falling out with Alejandro; wouldn't be the first time game IP was the victim of feuding founders.

Fedora 41 is out now with plenty of enhancements like easier NVIDIA driver installs

Quoting: dziadulewiczIt is beyond any normally thinking user *why there are no couple of simple boxes to tick* during install to achieve this totally basic functionality to watch videos.
It's been quite a while since I did a fresh install (I've updated in place for years), but I seem to recall they did add a third party repositories checkbox as part of it.

I see I've got the fedora-workstation-repositories package installed:
Description : Repository files that make some select non-Fedora software available via search in gnome-software.

$ rpm -ql fedora-workstation-repositories
/etc/yum.repos.d/_copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:phracek:PyCharm.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-nonfree-steam.repo
/usr/lib/fedora-third-party/conf.d/fedora-workstation.conf

Which covers Chrome, the Nvidia driver, and Steam - but not multimedia, I see. As noted before, I prefer the fedora-multimedia negativo17 repo to the rpmfusion one.

However, the base fedora-repos package does cover h.264 browser support:
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cisco-openh264.repo
