Adam Neverwas | last time i tried, nvidia wasnt the proper version | 12:45:41 |
K900 | I don't think there's any difference wrt that on unstable? | 12:45:43 |
K900 | I believe Nvidia updates are also always backported | 12:45:59 |
K900 | Kernels always are | 12:46:02 |
Adam Neverwas | plasma is 6.6.4 theere | 12:47:06 |
K900 | You may have to reboot after switching channels though, because Nvidia userspace is very particular about which exact kernel module versions it'll work with | 12:47:20 |
Adam Neverwas | im on flake based | 12:47:38 |
K900 | So if the versions aren't exactly matched due to channel drift it will complain | 12:47:45 |
K900 | Well, switching branches then | 12:47:53 |
Adam Neverwas | okay.
kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackagesFor pkgs.linuxKernel.kernels.linux70;
and
package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.stable;
will do? | 12:48:37 |
K900 | I don't see why it wouldn't | 12:48:51 |
Adam Neverwas | on unstable | 12:49:08 |
K900 | Though I am far from an expert on Nvidia things | 12:49:10 |
K900 | I have, thankfully, exactly one Nvidia device and I don't even use it | 12:49:49 |
Adam Neverwas | is there some solution when im on unstable, home manager remains on 25.11 complaining always | 12:51:19 |
K900 | You need to use the master branch of home-manager with nixos-unstable | 12:52:19 |
Adam Neverwas | okay | 12:52:46 |
Adam Neverwas | my another problem is in the Nix/ NixOS room | 12:53:05 |
K900 | I don't remember asusctl even taking -k but I'm going to assume that this is some sort of Nvidia hybrid graphics nonsense | 12:55:09 |
K900 | So you should probably ask Nvidia people about how to actually fix it properly | 12:55:21 |
Adam Neverwas | i have to use this solution, to turn off the keyboard before sleeps, because of the annoying white led keyboard pulsing | 12:57:03 |
K900 | You can just turn that off in firmware | 12:57:42 |
K900 | On most laptops at least | 12:57:49 |
K900 | (or at least most Asus laptops I've seen that actually have that thing ( | 12:58:02 |
K900 | * (or at least most Asus laptops I've seen that actually have that thing) | 12:58:07 |
Adam Neverwas | no i cannot | 12:59:23 |
K900 | I'm pretty sure there's also a checkbox for it in recent asusctl versions | 12:59:50 |
Adam Neverwas | its a 5 years old laptop, theres no option, just with the windows armory crate | 12:59:52 |
K900 | So you might want to look there | 12:59:54 |
Adam Neverwas | okay, there was some asusctrl error, it was behaving anomalous, that command was suspicious, but now on unstable, i used my original config and now everything works | 14:24:46 |
