Help Solving a USB Expansion Card Firmware Issue

I recently got a FebSmart model FS-U304C-Pro. Supposedly, it's based off of the RENESAS UPD720201 host controller, which uses the xhci-pci-renesas firmware module. The manual says toward should work out of the box with "most" Linux kernels.

Unfortunately, when I tried to install the card into my system, it did not function. The card gets registered by lspci, and the kernel module shows up underneath it. The issue is that the usbs do not communicate through the card.

I tried looking at dmesg and I found what might be my issue:

xhci-pci-renesas 000:0*:00.0: Download to external ROM TO:0

xhci-pci-renesas 000:0*:00.0: Timeout for Set DATAX step: 2

xhci-pci-renesas 000:0*:00.0: Firmware Download Step 2 failed at position 8 bytes with error (-110).

xhci-pci-renesas 000:0*:00.0: firmware failed to download (-110).

xhci-pci-renesas 000:0*:00.0: probe with driver xhci-pci-renesas failed with error -110

I have tried:

  • reinstalling my firmware modules
  • updating my system
  • moving the card to my other x1 slot
  • (edit) changing the speed my pcie slots are negotiating

Is there any way I can solve this issue locally before I either send this to issue to a bug tracker or send this card back? Also, I use Arch btw.

[SOLVED] Weight Painting Stopped Painting

Ignore everything after this. I was stupid and did not notice my brush strength was zero.

I've been working on a rig for a model, and I've gotten to the weight painting stage. Given that I'm relatively new to rigging, I've had to restart the process a few times. My most recent weight painting endevour is the farthest I've gotten, but the tools suddenly stopped working.

What can cause a properly parented and posable model and rig to no longer accept weight changes?

I've tried selecting all the vertices. The vertex groups are unlocked. Accumulation has been turned on and off several times. Subdivision is off.

[Update 1]

So blur, average and smear work, but the main paint brush simply refuses.

Couple Questions

  1. If I put 2 8 ohm woofers in parallel, can I run them with a 4 ohm crossover and tweeter?

  2. Is it a good idea to to use a bunch of amps instead of a single receiver for surround sound? Good analogue receivers are expensive and I don't have enough speakers to fill all the channels yet.

Is /usr/bin/sudo supposed to be empty? [SOLVED]

So I just fixed my Arch KDE install this morning (I broke plasma after an update) and now I have an issue with sudo. It simply doesn't do anything when I use it manually in the terminal and when I use yay, it gives an exec format error for the sudo file. After checking on the file using both the file command and kate. Both say that the file is empty. Is that supposed to be the case? If not, how do I fix it?

Feature Request

Hello! I would like to request the ability to edit posts from this app. I usually use something like this to add a "[SOLVED]" tag to issue posts or to leave updates on certain posts for people too tired/lazy to scroll down and read the replies. Unfortunately, I do not know much programming, so I cannot do this myself.

Update on My Two Posts Since Lemmy Doesn't Let Me Place a Solved Tag

Hello once again! Since I cannot edit old Lemmy posts, here's an update on my two posts: Issue with NetworkManager and Internet Connection Issue #2.

For the first post, the issue has not reoccurred where NetworkManager would ask for my password almost every day since a NetworkManager update that happened sometime between now and 2 weeks ago (I don't remember exact day).

For the second post, the problem of the stalling internet connection over VPN is most likely with the ProtonVPN Linux app. Someone recommended that I use the VPN via OpenVPN and so far, that has worked without flaw. I have since uninstalled the app and do not plan to use it anymore.

Thanks for all the helpful replies and I hope someone might find my posts useful sometime in the future!

Internet Connection Issue #2

I seem to have a problem with internet connectivity. I use NetworkManager with Proton VPN on an Arch KDE system. The wifi and VPN stay connected, but every once in a while the upload and download rates will go down to, at most, a few hundred KiB/s. The issue can be solved temporarily by disconnecting and reconnecting the VPN, but as I've had a similar issue without the VPN before, I do not know whether this is a VPN issue or a NetworkManager issue.

Issue with Network Manager

Hello! I use an Arch Linux distro with KDE on an ASUS X570 board that has built-in wifi. The issue is that I can't for the life of me get the wifi to work without asking me for the wifi password what feels like every hour. The hardware is active, the software is active, Network Manager is active, the wifi profile is fine, the SSID is fine, the security type is set properly, the password is saved and set to use for all users. I've tried restarting Network Manager, installing Network Manager with iwd backend, updating my system, restarting my system, and using nmtui to force home wifi.

Sharp CP-HP500

About a year ago I aquired a pair of these speakers and a diy sub for free. According to a few searches, they are supposed to be paired with a cd receiver. Does the cd receiver matter if I already have a home theater receiver? Are these any good for music and home theater?
