Maybe the driver should have compilation flags per supported GPU. No need to load a bunch of that isn’t even relevant. Also, now large in bytes is that damn think if it take 10 seconds to load? 🫠
How you gonna know what GPU someone is booting to apply the correctly flag, I think that running simpleDRM at early boot and loading AMDGPU in the background is the best solution, that can also help debug the kernel, where you know the issue is in the kernel not in the AMDGPU drivers
Sounds like a long-awaited race condition finally coalescing.
The boot splash screen would expect the drivers to be ready, and will hang/timeout if it isn’t ready when it tries to render the splash screenJust don’t use Plymouth and add the module to your initramfs. ez
“Recently there have been a number of reports about the plymouth boot splash not showing properly on PCs using AMD GPUs.
The problem without plymouth and AMD GPUs is that the amdgpu driver is a really really big driver, which easily takes up to 10 seconds to load on older PCs. The delay caused by this may cause plymouth to timeout while waiting for the GPU to be initialized, causing it to fallback to the 3 dot text-mode boot splash.”Just switch to Windows.
Man, people are really allergic to sarcasm.
It’s not a recognised condition in some parts of the world, despite the spasms it causes in the knees.
What are you talking about.
Finally. The year of Windows on the desktop is upon us
I thought it was funny
You’re going to get downvoted to hell for that.
I Feel like this joke went over a lot of peoples heads
Sorry for the off-topic question, but is your username a reference to the Culture books? I think that would have been a great addition to Very Little Gravitas Indeed/Zero Gravitas/Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall. Like, I can just imagine a book where the Very Little Gravitas Indeed, Zero Gravitas, and A Gravitas Deficiency all happen to be in the same incident group chat and constantly fuck around while the other ships debate and fuss, and then one or all three of them pulls a rabbit out of the hat and fixes the problem while the other Minds aren’t looking.
God, I miss Iain M. Banks. Also, if your username isn’t a reference then I probably sound like an absolute lunatic.
That is precisely what my username is referencing :) and I love it when people recognize it in the wild!
And yeah, I too was crestfallen when he passed :(
Edit: whoever downvoted you is an asshole. Like… why?
I’m guessing it was because my comment is off-topic and lengthy. I would have sent you a DM, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do that in my mbin client 😅
Well, I blame your mother.
No thanks.
I respect your sacrifice
…if you’re fine with mandatory AI copilot taking resources for spying on you.
Just move to Europe.
