It’s definitely not that for me as I’m on Nvidia!

Yes that’s pretty much it, there’s a strip around 3/4 of the way down both displays that has white line flicker across it whenever there’s any movement on either screen.

Yeah I’m definitely above the relevant versions for kde and Nvidia

That’s a good idea, I’ll try the endeavour OS live environment as that should be close enough to my setup

How would I tell if that’s the case? And I guess there’s nothing I can do about it if that is the cause?

Well at least I’m better than her other other boyfriend so I’ve got a chance!

It should give you the option to abort the shutdown and sort out whatever process it is though! Or at least let you kill it manually from the shutdown terminal. I know you can technically do that with the emergency shell but I don’t like leaving that enabled. Thankfully I rarely get this issue anymore anyway

It’s on Arch and Debian as well which means it’s on basically every distro

Very nice! I like the main one better, the larger sun looks great!

Ah ok, I’d heard Netflix had the issue as well but I don’t use it so I couldn’t confirm. Maybe it’s time to reconsider my prime subscription, although I do still use it for 1 day delivery

That makes sense, for the amount I use this laptop I won’t worry about it for now! It wasn’t noticeably dusty when I opened it yesterday, and the errors occur immediately after booting so I wouldn’t expect it to heat up that fast

In that case if it still works should I just ignore the error for now and replace the card if it causes any issues?

How?

I just tried increasing it but the maximum I can set is 255 and that made no difference unfortunately. All the Windows VMs are also set at 8 and they don’t have any problems

I hope its not a hardware issue, the 2 VMs were running on 2 separate hosts within the cluster so hopefully that’s unlikely! Thanks for taking a look

I’ve just edited the main post with links for the journalctl output. The purpose was just to test some network config, I managed to do what I needed anyway but I’m just curious as to why I had issues with these VMs!

I just left it as default which is 1 display and 8mb video memory

That’s looks lovely! What country is that?

The first time I didn’t lose my taste it just made a few things taste slightly weird, most of it didn’t last too long but orange juice tasted a bit different for a few weeks. I’m pretty sure I had it again over Christmas as I literally had no taste when I woke up on the morning of the 27th, but it slowly came back throughout the day. Again orange juice tasted slightly weird for a few days after but now I think it tastes normal? Or at least more normal than it did last week

The pointless arguments it causes over who sees who on what day, does it really matter if you see someone on Boxing Day instead of Christmas Day for example?
