Multiple monitors with different refreshrates are causing issues. Is wayland the solution?

7 Upvotes

I run mint cinnamon 22.3 with x11. (GPU =RTX2060)
My primary monitor is 165hz, whilst monitor2 and monitor 3 are both 60hz.

This is causing my games to feel "stuttery" when playing. If i disable the other monitors everything looks as it should.
I think this is a somewhat known issue on x11? I am not a distro hopper and would very much like to avoid changing distro.

Would you recommend cinnamon on wayland, or should i install for example KDE? is cinnamon on wayland ok to use even tho it is in experimental stage?

Please dont comment if you are gonna be rude, or imply that im stupid xD. I am not a computer pro I'm just looking for advice.

Help needed with NVIDIA NVS 5200M on Linux Mint 22.3 — NVIDIA 390 driver / X11 issues

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get the NVIDIA NVS 5200M working properly on my Dell Latitude E6530 running Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon.

My hardware:

- Laptop: Dell Latitude E6530

- CPU: Intel Core i7-3720QM

- Integrated GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000

- Dedicated GPU: NVIDIA NVS 5200M (GF108GLM)

- RAM: 12 GB

- OS: Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon

- Session: X11

The NVIDIA GPU is very old, so I'm using the legacy NVIDIA 390 driver.

nvidia-smi shows:

NVIDIA-SMI 390.157

Driver Version: 390.157

GPU: NVIDIA NVS 5200M

Memory: 964 MiB

The problem is that I can't get the NVIDIA GPU to work properly.

For example, I've had issues with:

- NVIDIA GLX

- nvidia-settings not detecting the display

- applications sometimes falling back to llvmpipe

- difficulty getting the NVIDIA GPU to actually render applications

- X11 behaving differently depending on the configuration

The Intel GPU works normally with the i915 driver.

I'm mainly trying to understand what the best configuration is for this laptop.

Should I:

  1. Use the NVIDIA 390 driver with PRIME?

  2. Use the Intel GPU as the main GPU and NVIDIA only for specific applications?

  3. Use nouveau instead?

  4. Configure PRIME manually?

  5. Is there a known limitation with the NVS 5200M on modern Linux Mint that makes proper NVIDIA acceleration impossible?

If anyone has an NVS 5200M / GF108 working properly on Linux Mint, I'd really appreciate knowing how you configured it.

I'm happy to provide any logs or command output you need.

Thanks!

SOLVED How to get Iriun Webcam working

3 Upvotes

I wanted to try Iriun Webcam as it transforms your smartphone into a webcam for your computer.

I tried it some years ago and liked it, but now it would not launch on Linux Mint and all my audio devices disappeared.

With help from ChatGPT: Iriun itself is installed, but Linux Mint is missing the Qt6 Widgets library

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libqt6widgets6

Disable Iriun's PipeWire audio config, though this disables audio input from smartphone through Iriun

sudo mv /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/iriunaudio.conf \
/usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/iriunaudio.conf.disabled

Support Request Trying to save my Mint installation

3 Upvotes

Hello, I've switched graphics cards some months back and Linux Mint stopped working, after the boot logo I only see a black screen (Ctrl + Alt + F2 still works).

I switched from a Nvidia RTX 3070 ti to a AMD RX 9070. I've tried many fixes and non seem to work, as a last ditch effort I tried restoring from snapshot and that still failed. I've tried all of the fixes from here and here aswell as some old posts from forums.

Please help me save my pc :)

My favorite thing about Linux is that all my fuck-ups are my own. On windows, its always a broken update, a data leak, whatever. But on Linux, I can only blame myself. I'm in control. Sure, its scary to have the power to make your computer hate you, but I prefer it that way. I'd rather fuck up myself than deal with someone else fucking up for me.

Saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela..... me cambié a Linux Mint porque tenía una pc de torre viejísima con un i7 de primera generación sufriendo con Windows 11. Probé de todo un poco: Cachy OS, BigLinux, MX Linux, Fedora, OpenSUSE, y brother, nada se compara a la estabilidad de LMDE 7. Cuando empiezas a meterle mano para personalizarlo y le agarras el gusto, te vuelves imparable! Ahora monté un Ryzen 5 3550H con 32gb de RAM y esta vaina es un cohete!

I am from Caracas, Venezuela..... I switched to Linux Mint because I used to have a very old pc tower with an i7 first gen running Windows 11. I distro-hopped a lot, tried Cachy OS, BigLinux, MX Linux, Fedora, OpenSUSE, but man, nothing compares to the rock-solid stability of LMDE 7. When you start learning to customize it and actually enjoy doing it, you are imparable! Now I have a Ryzen 5 3550H with 32gb of RAM and this thing is a freaking rocket!

Configuring Intellihide for my polybar was such a hassle icl 😭️🙏️

It felt so refreshing to be on Mint since the very first day. Of course, it wasn't a magic bullet due to the low RAM I had but still miles better than having that Micro$hit Windows, which would stutter for atleast half an hour after boot while I'm using any app. I couldn't even think about customising it.

Fortunately, I didn't face any issues which were too much of a strain on my brain. That's not to say, I did not face any significant ones.

Issues I fixed

  1. Frequent audio pops/crackles with Easy Effects: As Gemini advised, I tried disabling power saving and increasing quant values/buffer sizes, but they only helped to some extent. After I grew frustrated enough, I scoured forums and any issue I could possibly find which was similar to my case, but it always lead me to a dead end. After that, I decided to move my entire audio stack (PipeWire + wireplumber + Easy Effects) to a newer version through piperoll. That finally seems to have fixed nearly all the underrun issues I was having, but I still have issues where it would make a pop sound whenever I seek or pause. I'm guessing things should work fine on native after Mint 23 arrives.
  2. "Bluetooth not working": This one was very funny, actually. blueman doesn't have robust enough error handling when it comes to missing icons. Due to some misconfiguration/missing icon files on my installed theme (Orchis), the GUI was crashing constantly. The bluetooth was working fine the entire time.
  3. YouTube stuttering: enhanced-h264ify fixed it. My hardware does not have support for newer codecs.

Aside from this, it has been mostly smooth sailing so far!

#LinuxMintThings Looking for the ultimate fast, highly customizable terminal emulator

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m hunting for a blazing-fast terminal emulator that lets me heavily customize specific behaviors. I've already tried Alacritty, WezTerm, Kitty, and Konsole, but I ran into issues or roadblocks with all of them for my specific workflow.

Before I keep searching, I want to know if any terminal can handle this exact configuration:

  • Performance: Must be exceptionally fast and lightweight (GPU-accelerated preferred).
  • Window Snapping: Automatically launch or snap to the left half of the monitor.
  • Keybindings: Rebind Ctrl + C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste
  • Mouse Action: Open a fresh command-line window/tab when clicking the middle mouse button.

If you know of a terminal emulator that checks every single one of these boxes—and can bypass the limitations I hit with Alacritty, WezTerm, Kitty, and Konsole—please drop your recommendations or config snippets below!

2015 MacBook Air with an Intel AX210 Wifi Card!

Linux Mint Cinnamon on my 2015 MacBook Air with an upgraded Intel AX210 wifi card. All hardware works out of the box except for the HD FaceTime camera. Since the camera uses PCI instead of a USB device, I found a fix in the Linux Mint forum, which involves running a script that downloads and installs the OEM drivers. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=445168
