updating drivers and java
Hi,
I am basically new to Linux (I've tinkered a bit with Ubuntu before, but that was years ago), but I am pretty much completely new.
My problem is like this
I've been trying to find guides with how to update my GPU drivers (I have a GTX 1080ti) and updating Java (Because of games like Minecraft).
When I try to update Java I get "error: open of jdk-22_linux-x64_bin.rpm failed: No such file or directory"
And when I try to see if I need to update Nvidia drivers, I am at a little loss.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated

No need to update drivers, they are part of the kernel and updated with the system
Java will automatically update if installed with your package manager
I recommend using distrobox to install Java in a box of your choice
Thank you for letting me know :).
Now I just need to figure out how to solve the constant flickering that is happening when I try to play Minecraft
Since you're on Nvidia, make sure you're using X11
Wayland is not supported by the current driver
You can pick at the bottom left or right of the login screen after you select your user
Okay, does that mean I have to reinstall Linux?
And this will also solve the problem with other games not launching, I presume
other games not launching can be anything from
* game not supported
* game needs either
SteamDeck=1 %command% or SteamDeck=0 %command% as a launch option based on image (in your case it would be the =1 if the game wants to be on a steamdeck), on nvidia this might cause other issues, we do not know.
* game is installed on an NTFS filesystem (this would be the case if you import them from your windows game drive), use ext4 or btrfs (btrfs if you want them accessible in windows too using the winbtrfs driver)
* game requires proton-GE
* etc
essentially check https://protondb.com and https://areweanticheatyet.com/ like we recommend on the websiteThank you :).
When I formated the drives to ext4, a folder named
lost+found was created, and when I try to make a folder; It says I am not allowed (not inside the lost+found folder, but in the drive)
I think maybe it'll work via the terminal cd /run/media/admin/hdd, but I do get No such file or directory
I presume I may have done the mounting process wrong?
Okay, I see what I did wrong :uwotblue:. I put only root when mounting them (Only I will be using this pc anyway)chown youruser:youruser /media/youruser/mountpoint
should be all you need, just edit it to match your mountpoint and username
als lost+found is where data is put if it is orphaned but not deleted, files with broken pointers essentially.
it should ideally always be empty and only root can access it
essentially if the filesystem finds a file that was never marked for deletion but nothing points to it, it will put it in there (can happen if you force shutdown)Finally was able to boot up Alice: Madness Returns. Things are finally looking in the right direction. Thank you guys for the help 😄
Let's hope this continues the way it does
