  • Updating Nvidia drivers on Pop_OS! 20.04

    "This program installs drivers and provides restore functionality for System76 machines." https://github.com/pop-os/system76-driver I would try installing system76-driver-nvidia as System76 recommends and I suspect that will make the Nvidia drivers available. I'm not sure why it wasn't already installed on your system. As usual, make a backup before trying anything if you're afraid of it breaking your system.

    Also, I know I need to install the hardware drivers from system76. My preliminary research indicates that S76's open sources its drivers: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-driver

  • System76 Pangolin “Linux-first” laptop with AMD internals now in stock
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 31 Aug 2021
    I have a System76 Serval WS with AMD internals manufactured last year. The laptop's internal display recently went wonky but an external display still works fine. It's annoying to reboot -- the GPU drivers aren't loaded yet when the boot disk passphrase prompt is shown, so the external display doesn't show the passphrase prompt (and importantly: whether unlocking succeeded). It's within a 1-year warranty for parts & labor. I'm currently talking to with System76 support staff to ship it back for repair. The process has, so far, been easy and straightforward.

    In the past they had pushed a driver update that disabled the laptop display when multiple monitors are connected. I had recognized the problem since their system drivers are open source and was able to recommend & review a PR to fix [0]. It was nice to see that patch go in.

    Open the System76 Driver application and clicking on Driver installation details will tell you what it installs. Other than that, you can read through the commits on GitHub.

    We are developing this EO data processing acceleration project - https://github.com/cgi-estonia-space/ALUs and currently the baseline is 20.04. I could mingle with docker containers for development, but it is easier to make sure that everything is working and aligned with the base platform.
