catfishsushi I don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf
, did you create one before to fix something?
As for /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
did you succeed in removing it when you logged in to the TTY?

@Justin yes, i created the file in an attempt to remedy/correct an after watching many youtube videos on how to fix most common issues with Lutris not working correctly. One of the issue flags was about a DIR3 not being present, so, searching the forums, i found how to create the file, and based on the success of the Poster's positive responses, made the file and rebooted......to a TTY.....so, any tips on how to get the contents of the /etc/X11 file in TTY and look for the offending file and possibly replace any correct one(s) i may have deleted by accident?
catfishsushi
so you still have only a TTY on boot?
-> login
cd /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
(-> cd = change directory)ls
to list the content of the directory. You should see your Option "AccelMethod"
. Two lines, one with option sna
and another with option uxa
doesn't seem right.But first, i would remove your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if exist). Or maybe just rename it to 20-intel.conf.bak / xorg.conf.bak first
renaming on TTY can be done via the mv
command, so it would be:
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf.bak
for example
If both, 20-intel.conf and xorg.conf are renamed, you should reboot (sudo reboot
) and get to a GUI again.
By the way, the TAB
key is your friend on TTY for auto-completion. Just type the first letters of a folder/file and the TAB
key auto-completes - misspelling is no problem anymore
Just to let you know, as I said HotS, HS, and W3:Reforged were crashing once you run those. The fix was quite simple, on lutris, right click and go for winetricks and then add/install dll and install: d3dcompΓler_47.dll and d3dx11_42.dll. All those games will stop crashing and run on dxvk/esync without issues.
@[deleted] Thank you kind one! Information will be tried out ASAP. BTW, what does the "bak" stand for?
@Soultrigger I have noted/written down the info and I will try that quickly!. I was thinking Lutris was having issues due to a possible me not configuring it correctly, having 3 monitors and the program not knowing which one to be on. Sad thing: i paid for FF-XIV on BOTH Steam & SquareEnix....ouch....
catfishsushi bak is short for backup. it's a common convention for saving a backup of a file such that a script looking for *.conf
files won't find something ending in .conf.bak
catfishsushi: what synth-ruiner said! You could of course rename it to whatever you want.
@[deleted] That worked! Thanks! i now have my Primary Drive back in operation.
@Soultrigger I tried adding those files, but still not working. It either starts up and shows 1280 x 760 box with the FF-XIV Logo, and does nothing, or crashes outright.
[deleted] How to remove/purge all of the Lutris, WineTricks, Wine, & Steam files from my Primary drive? the "eopkg rmf --purge"
says no files to remove?
Thanks!
catfishsushi is that really what you want to do? Remove everything? Well depends on what you want to achive. The installed packages can be removed with sudo eopkg rm <packagename>
(lutris, wine, winetricks, steam), but i guess you know that (--purge
can be added to the operation, i don't know the rmf
option, i'm not on solus atm). But all that won't remove your installed games and stuff. You must remove that manually. Everything installed through lutris usually goes to /home/<your name>/.local/share/lutris (you need to enable hidden files in your file manager to see the hidden dot folders like .local, .config....easiest way: shortcut CTRL + H
. So you could just delete the whole folder <lutris> over there. Maybe have a look at /home/<your name>/.wine (hidden dot folder again), if that one exists. Steam games go to /home/<your name>/.local/share/Steam (you see the pattern? ). There could be more stuff in /home/<your name>/.config for example. Maybe use the search but it can be ignored i would say. Usually in .config the config for something is stored (as the folder name implies) - data goes to the .local folder.
Hope that helps
@[deleted] Thanks for the info! Very helpful and informative!
How are you with Network skills? I have had issues from a persistent pest that my ISP will not deal with anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
catfishsushi thanks, it's nice to be appreciated
As for your network question, i would suggest you create a separate post/topic for that one. Then hope the best that people can help you. Maybe even i can help.....
Edit: Forgot to say, that you were right. When i was back on my solus i checked and saw, there is indeed the rmf
option for eopkg (stupid me, always rm'd
followed by rmo
)
[deleted] Please forgive the Seasonal Delay (hope yours was Happy and Grand), yes, separate post would be appropriate. It's ok, we humans, in spite of our technology, are still.....human.
