Yes that’s pretty much it, there’s a strip around 3/4 of the way down both displays that has white line flicker across it whenever there’s any movement on either screen.

Yeah I’m definitely above the relevant versions for kde and Nvidia
That’s a good idea, I’ll try the endeavour OS live environment as that should be close enough to my setup
How would I tell if that’s the case? And I guess there’s nothing I can do about it if that is the cause?
It’s on Arch and Debian as well which means it’s on basically every distro
Ah ok, I’d heard Netflix had the issue as well but I don’t use it so I couldn’t confirm. Maybe it’s time to reconsider my prime subscription, although I do still use it for 1 day delivery
What are the main differences from a user perspective rather than hosting? Is it worth checking out?
That makes sense, for the amount I use this laptop I won’t worry about it for now! It wasn’t noticeably dusty when I opened it yesterday, and the errors occur immediately after booting so I wouldn’t expect it to heat up that fast
In that case if it still works should I just ignore the error for now and replace the card if it causes any issues?
How?
I just tried increasing it but the maximum I can set is 255 and that made no difference unfortunately. All the Windows VMs are also set at 8 and they don’t have any problems
I hope its not a hardware issue, the 2 VMs were running on 2 separate hosts within the cluster so hopefully that’s unlikely! Thanks for taking a look
I’ve just edited the main post with links for the journalctl output. The purpose was just to test some network config, I managed to do what I needed anyway but I’m just curious as to why I had issues with these VMs!
I just left it as default which is 1 display and 8mb video memory
What makes you say that? I only switched to it recently
Not sure if that’s wrong or not tbh, I use snapper instead of timeshift and I wanted /home included in the snapshots anyway (I think it let me set them up as 2 separate jobs). The reason I went with subvolumes instead of separate partitions is that I didn’t have to worry about sizing. I also know I can reinstall to my root subvolume without affecting the others, depending on the installer for your distro I don’t know how easy that is vs just having separate partitions. I played around with it in a VM for a while to see what the backup and restore process is like before I actually committed to anything!
Why do you have a btrfs volume and an ext4 volume? I went btrfs and used sub volumes to split up my root and home but I’m not sure if that’s the best way to do it or not
I don’t think my router has been compromised and I think it’s pretty unlikely it will be, but the extra rule seems pretty trivial to set up so if there are no downsides I may as well! I have already changed the SSH port and disabled password login. I’ll look into fail2ban, might be worth it if it’s relatively simple to set up!
I set up a rule last night to allow SSH access from any device on my subnet, is it a good idea to add a separate rule blocking SSH from my router? I’ve already set up SSH with public key authentication so in theory there aren’t many devices that can access it but the firewall restriction seemed like a good idea
It’s definitely not that for me as I’m on Nvidia!
