Are all FRU for a particular Lenovo Marketing part number compatible/identical?

I'm asking here since I assume a lot of you guys are running homelabs on Lenovo hardware.

I have two M720q Tiny that came with one 8 GB 2400MHz SoDIMM RAM each (see picture). I upgraded one to 2x 32 GB RAM and want to reuse the sticks in the other one for 16 GB in total and dual channel use. They have different FRU numbers (see picture) but I assume it's the same marketing part number and I guess my plan works?

Can anyone confirm? I'm just unsure about dual channel since it's not exactly the same RAM and I'm used to using exact pairs.

Thanks!

Foss baby monitor app with audio and black/white video?
  • Yes please do! I was looking at Philips, Vaya etc. but I don't feel comfortable live streaming my baby to some companies server. I'm hoping to find a solution that lights up if it detects sound (like starts flashing like Vaya).

  • Have you tried NixOS?
  • Wow thanks I was wondering for a while if something like this existed! I'm very happy with regular Arch, but I am very curious to try both an immutable/atomic and a declarative distro. At least the second I guess I can kina replicate now with this. Another rabbit hole to go down I think. :D

  • Steam: Controller not working anymore in Forza Horizon 4
  • So... no idea what happened but it works again.

    Just in case anyone stumbles upon this thread at some point here are my current settings:

    • The compatibility layer is proton-ge-custom (from AUR)
    • Steam Input Translation in the Forza Horizon 4 Controller Settings is enabled using the "Official Layout for Forza Horizon 4 - Gamepad"
    • Regular mode (not big picture mode)
    • Steam Overlay is enabled

    I still have the issue that on some screens it shows the keyboard buttons and not the controller buttons but since the controller works anyway I don't really care (it's just the optics).

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions! :)

  • Steam: Controller not working anymore in Forza Horizon 4

    So I've been playing Forza Horizon 4 for a while without any issues using a XBox One Controller via Bluetooth. First i used Proton experimental and later Proton GE. Absolutely no problem.

    Now however, the controller is not being recognized in game anymore (the on screen buttons show keyboard keys, not gamepad buttons) and I can't use any of the buttons (except the screenshot one). In the Steam menu, the controller test settings, big picture mode etc. it works fine and its recognized normally.

    I didn't make any changes (before it happened, now of course it tried a bunch of stuff) but I did upgrade the system normally.

    Any ideas what might have caused this issue?

    Question on moving hard drives
  • So install back both disks, make a bootable gparted stick and do the cloning from there? The new disk is basically empty save the new file system, but ofc I can just delete that.

  • Question on moving hard drives
  • No UUIDs, only paths. When booting from a live system I noticed /etc/fstab is empty. Also, there where a bunch of partitions on /dev/sda and I can't see any on /dev/nvme0n1

    No not consciously

  • Question on moving hard drives

    I'm running Proxmox on a Lenovo ThinkCentre and I decided to swap the internal 256 GB 2,5" SSD for a 500 GB NVME.

    I installed the new NVME alongside the old SSD, and formated it in ext4 with a single partition. I then proceeded to 'dd /dev/sda /dev/nvme0n1' and it went through without an error.

    My impression was that it would clone all content from the old drive to the new, but it wouldn't boot the new drive. I then logged in and set a boot flag via fstab a, but that only helped me boot but the system gets stuck at "waiting for root file system".

    Nothing is lost as the old drive still works fine when installed but how do I complete the swap correctly so I can go NVME-only?

    Thank you!

    Alienware AW420K or Razer BlackWidow V3
  • Update: I went with the Razer BlackWidow V3 and also got a Basilisk V3 to match it and they work very well with OpenRGB, I would definitely recommend them! I'm slightly annoyed by the green switches on the keyboard (sound and the feeling when typing) but that's of course unrelated.

  • Alienware AW420K or Razer BlackWidow V3
  • If I may ask you another question regarding support: I have a Corsair Capellix H115i cooler, 2x ML140 RGB PWM fans and 4x LL120 RGB PWM fans. They are all connected to the commander core that came with the pump. OpenRGB detects the commander core and for a brief moment I was able to control three of the smaller fans (another one the same model not however) but now I can't control anything. Are these devices not supported or is there something I can do to make it work?

  • Alienware AW420K or Razer BlackWidow V3

    Besides the size difference, which one would you choose for OpenRGB on Arch Linux? Had a Keychron K8 Pro that I didn't get to work. Now it died, so have to replace it. Price wise they're 50 for the Alienware (new) and 75 for the Razer (open box, as new). Please help me decide. Thanks!

    Update if anyone finds this thread later: I went with the Razer BlackWidow V3 and also got a Basilisk V3 to match it and they work very well with OpenRGB, I would definitely recommend them! I’m slightly annoyed by the green switches on the keyboard (sound and the feeling when typing) but that’s of course unrelated.

    Using Nextcloud as a directory/folder/remote location

    Hi guys

    Is there any way to access Nextcloud files (self hosted) in a file manager just like a regular directory or remote location? So the way iCloud or Dropbox allow you to access files and use them for example to upload them in a browser. So far I only managed to access the files in the Nextcloud WebUI or via the command line (but then a resync is necessary).

    Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
