Headers don’t interact with the kernel, so there’s no stability issue there. I assume what you did was install a mainline kernel in an Ubuntu flavor of something, then needed the headers for the Vbox extensions, but headers aren’t available in packages for mainline kernel versions.

You can build VirtualBox and it’s components, or just the components from source. That means install the packages bits, then download kernel source, and use it to build the extensions, then you can package and install them.

I would just make sure you’re only READING from the NTFS volume. Writing to NTFS is technically supported, but due to the nature of the filesystem, it will run into errors at some point as others may have mentioned.

Instagram/Threads has been implementing very difficult to bypass controls for content. If you can’t easily get it, it’s probably not worth it.

The driver is swapping out and being reinsertered. Depending on your card and monitor, you may just need to unplug and replug your monitor to force it to switch/set mode.

If it’s killing your desktop session as well, that sounds like something you have installed is problematic as this shouldn’t happen.

If you can still ping and ssh into the machine, it’s still fine and doing what it should, but some other combination of things are causing your display to not come back online.

Yes, it should just boot right up, no problem.

This game was an MMO, and the servers have been shut down for 10 years. There’s no way to play it.

There does seem to be some Open Source project to recreate it though: https://nightriderz.world/

The NFS games are problematic in general on Wine. Check ProtonDB if you’re unsure.

You’d be better off running it on a different system emulator where it’s all encapsulated in an image to run from.

Did you already try the Flatpak?

Dude…you need to format this in a more readable way.

Please correct this so it’s clear which is your text, and which is copied text from the system.

Sorry, autocorrect. Dev libraries.

You can also try the last posts solution here, but linking newer library versions may not work: https://www.gog.com/forum/nebuchadnezzar/linux_tip_missing_libflacso8

Install flac and dev libraries.

God damn. You newbies are uppity as fuck, aren’t you? Yes, it’s hibernation, as in flush and restore from disk. You just suck at life and this, and can’t tell the difference, apparently.

Where is more than a few seconds a thing?

Where did you hear that 50s was a good time? That’s insane.

Is this news? They already said they were working on this with Valve awhile ago, and they’ve had images and guides on how to do this in their support KB for quite awhile now: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht517492-how-to-install-steamos

Switch if you want the extra features, but if it’s working for you now, there isn’t an inherent danger in it becoming more problematic over time. At least not for a few years knowing Nvidia.

Also, the DLSS support is a combo of things: the Nvidia Linux driver supporting it for your model, the specific Mesa drivers supporting it for that model, the Proton layer supporting it for that game, and the developer of the game actually supporting it. Work your way up from the bottom of that chain starting with the game devs to find out which pieces don’t support it.

You need to pay attention to which Proton version is being engaged at what time for what specific game.

If you’re pegged to the rolling release, it may break. That’s why they keep the backlog of older versions available. One game may work perfectly on Proton9.0, but break on Proton10.0 release.

Check protondb.com and see if others are seeing the same thing, then go and change your compatible Proton versions in the game properties to peg it o a known good version.

👍

It would mean your old install works just fine-ish. If you’re loading new everything and still having issues at all, then something is wrong. You shouldn’t be having any of these issues at all.

Would you happen to have a different USB drive to this from? Also try and make sure you’re plugging it into the slower USB ports on your machine, and maybe skip any front ports extended by a USB extender inside the case.
