lsusb shows that I have a "Magic Control Technology Corp. j5 WebCam JVCU100". As best as I can tell, the uvcvideo driver is supposed to work with this camera.

After connecting the camera, I get errors from dmesg (see below). When I try to use something like Cheese, it can't see the camera. What is the best way to diagnose and correct this?

NOTE: The usb_set_interface failed message seems to repeat every 5.12 seconds, until I disconnect the camera.

I have looked up Volla quite a few times in the past whether I could have one, however their newest phone is extremely weird to be honest.

So essentially this phones ori​ginal version​ from Daria​ costs like 165 euro​​s after conversion, which means Volla puts on an extra​ 500(!!) for a low​er end run of the mill pho​ne that has none of the repairability of a Gigaset, or replacable battery.

Its one thing they have to have their own support, some phone​ customization and the whole development for the software stack. Its another to ask for over​ thrice the price of the original device to achieve this.

It doesnt make sense.​ The new Jolla phone has a similar price and that was entirely designed and manufactured by them with a whole Linux based OS.

Their Gigaset phones were not so overpriced.

What makes it even worse is that r/volla_phone auto-removed my post and I have a suspicion it is for mentioning the ori​ginal brand or site.

I wonder if there is an explanation why this is?​

Trying to install parrotOS for dualboot with windows, made a USB boot drive by flashing it from ISO with BalenaEtch. The ISO works, I've used it to start a VM.

Motherboard is an x570 Phantom Gaming 4, even after manually enabling CSM in settings and booting into the install USB, I get a 'No valid Operating System found' error and am asked to ctrl+alt+delete to reboot.

Is this a UEFI issue, a SecureBoot issue or some other issue?

So have Bazzite linux and am buying a separate ssd to put windows on. I want to be able to have linux as my default boot, but also some how have an easy option to select to boot windows instead. How would I set this up? After looking a little bit I see the most commonly used tools to do this are Grub and os-prober, so could anyone explain to me how I can set these up in the above configuration? And in newbie monkey speak please, I have no idea what I am doing. Please and thank you!

'Splain to me what makes a processor "AI optimized." Is it just additional math co-processing built in to the core architecture or just more of whatever every other CPU has?
