I find this this very handy for video projects which involve nvidia cards. Imagine if you need to know if the card support a specific codec, resolution or even hardware encoding or decoding, this is a huge timesaver. One caveat is to double check forums and other reports/driver info as sometimes support is listed but may not be present in specific driver versions or OS's (eg. sometimes h265 is supported in the Windows driver but not Linux). This is one area that Nvidia i........

These are fairly classic symptoms but they may not present obviously enough early on. I had a power supply issue with my old Corsair CX430 (430 Watt). The build had two old 95W Xeon CPUs, 2 USB devices and a PCI-E powered Nvidia Quadro or at one point a GT710. This shouldn't have overwhelmed the PS but this power supply is known to be weak by many users. Symptom 1. Graphics Issues This would only present it self after coming back with the........

If you've come here, don't be embarraassed, working in IT, this is the MOST common computer problem that almost everyone will encounter. The reason why I'm doing this post is because I've seen an increase from colleagues and admins having this problem and many times it's not even your fault. A common scenario is that someone acquires a new or used computer which they wer........

This is a security hole in my opinion and should be plugged by editing the lock screen ui layout: vi /usr/share/mate-screensaver/lock-dialog-default.ui #find these objects and set the visible property to false object class="GtkLabel" id="note-tab-label" object class="GtkLabel" id="auth-username-label> object class="GtkLabel" id="auth-realname-label"........

You can search for this bug and it seems like it may be related to ecryptfs and is many years old. The symptoms are that you return to the computer and the screensaver was active or the screen was asleep/black and it doesn't seem to come back. But you check by SSH the computer is running fine and are frustrated you'll lose your running programs and have to reboot. There is a simple solution: Ctrl + Alt + F1 Ctrl +Alt + F8 Ba........

1.) My screensaver would take a long time to disable after hitting a key. 2.) Usually errors like below will follow. 3.) Compiz sometimes uses 100% or high CPU 4.) My window controls will disable (eg. the minimize, maximize and close buttons). It seems like Compiz or appearance/effects disable themselves. Re-enabling Desktop Effects under Appearance temporarily fixes it. 5.) high load in general from things like "Migration" pr........

I've thought for awhile that Asus has been banking on its years old reputation for quality amongst gamers and enthusiasts and I think I'm right. My Asus VE247H Monitor with a supposed 2MS refresh rate has 1 red/stuck/dead pixel but fortunately it can only be seen on a non-true black picture or against a blue screen. I have several Asus products and find they're all of fairly poor quality. First of all their motherboards have given me the most issues of any brand, they te........
