Hoping to get a few pointers on where to start with a few issues I’m having.
I’m a bit of a newer Linux user as I’ve used Fedora for about a year, but never had to tinker as it’s always worked / never gotten in the way of my needs, but this weekend I decided to learn something new with my flash new toy.
So here are my issues:
When connecting the dock, either 1)The external screen wakes, and no peripherals work, or 2) the screen is not recognised but all my peripherals work
The HDMI expansion card does nothing. Not so much as an audible device tone.
Some context, I have run my laptop in dual boot with Fedora 39 for about a fortnight and had neither of the above issues.
Things I have tried:
nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
changing to unstable branch
applying the nixos-hardware config
trying a different Desktop Environment
quick google searches before realising I’m in too deep and don’t have enough established knowledge of linux or Nix
going back to Fedora as a sanity check
I appreciate this is probably not the best initial place to ask this, but I figured it was contextually, worth doing as we’re all on (somewhat) similar platforms. I’m happy to go and read and/or play, but I don’t know where to start.
Any hints, tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I thought I’d share my config here for my 12th-gen Intel Framework laptop
This is a flake-based config with home-manager as a module. It includes the recommended TLP config from Framework. I’m currently running a pre-release version of System76s COSMIC desktop environment (which is awesome!), but also have configuration for KDE Plasma 6. I also have Firefox and Neovim configured through home-manager.
I’m going insane I have a AMD Framework, Latest BIOS, Latest Kernel, and I keep getting this error which disconnects my USB-C AMP/Headphone Setup like 3 seconds after I connect it (It works for like 3 seconds then makes a pop sound and stops working, and this error shows up, I reconnect it, and it works for 3 more seconds than stops working.)
Even after it stops working, it still shows up as an available output too.
For some reason, TIDaL-HiFi works until I switch my window to Firefox and start playing audio, then it breaks again??? Something with switching windows from TIDaL-Hifi to Firefox and playing audio (e.g a youtube video) breaks it.
Kernel: 6.8.2
NixOS: Unstable Branch
GNOME 45
Definitely not NixOS-specific, so it would probably be better to ask in some other thread.
But anyway, are you sure that this error actually appears right after the disconnect? Does it appear every time? Many people are getting this error, so it would be good to confirm that it is actually related. My logs are definitely full of this error and I don’t think it has any negative effect in my setup. You might also consider following e.g. [RESOLVED] AMD F39 USB-C hiccups with external display directly connected via USB-C - #16 by Matt_Hartley.
We have two spaces, best to start here and let them know you want to join up and help with contributions here. They have set up a dedicated Matrix chat, but best start here and request directions on what works best for their team.
I am having an issue where sometimes when I resume from hibernation, the wifi drivers are not loaded. I have to do sudo modprobe -r mt7921e && sleep 10 && sudo modprobe mt7921e to get wifi working again.
I am on an AMD framework running 23.11 with the latest kernel, using the nixos-hardware repo. My disk has luks encryping an LVM that has a root and swap volumns.
Not really sure where to start troubleshooting, but am open to suggestions.
First of all, what are the symptoms? Anything in dmesg? Do you see the physical interface e.g. in ip l? Also what do you mean by “drivers”? You are saing that you have to do modrprobe -r, so sounds like the module gets loaded?
Is it worth making a dedicated subreddit related to framework and nixos called something like r/framework_nixos?
I personally don’t want to make it as I dont want to mod… but I think the reddit format would be better suited to sharing configs / discussions over a forum based…where most of the discussion is in a few threads what do you guys think?
Here is my current NixOS config:
My config is flake based, has the following:
On nixos-unstable (shifted from nixos 23.11)
Wayland
Plasma 6
Home-Manager with Plasma-manager
Looking to fix or add the following to my config:
Speaker audio was louder in my initial nixos config.
Its quieter now be default. Not sure how to fix?
Charging via a powerbank does not charge at a decent rate. PowerBank is brand new: Anker 737. Replaced, same issue.
Charges at 88W when powered off, much lower when framework on (0-4w).
Error on bootup if powerbank is connected: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 256 ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: con3: failed to register partner alt modes( -5)
dmesg, last boot log: Warp
Not sure how to set a wallpaper. Tried multiple ways and all have failed so far.
I am now on bios 3.03. I get less dmesg spam but still get: UCSI_GET_PDOS failed (-70)
Looking at the framework 13 threads, apparently this is a known framework issue where the kernal can’t negotiate over usb properly and I don’t see a fix? This is pretty bad in my opinion if I can’t use a power bank.
