Supported devices
- This guide is valid for Airtop3
Prepare installation media
- A USB DVD-ROM drive or a USB Flash drive of at least 2GB should be used as installation media
- Download Linux Mint 19.1 "Tessa" - Cinnamon (64-bit)"
- For installation with a USB DVD-ROM - flash the downloaded image directly onto a DVD
- For installation with a USB Flash drive, please follow How to install Linux Mint via USB tutorial
Base installation of Linux Mint
- NOTE: "Running in software rendering mode" message will appear, it's ok, it will disappear after installing graphics drivers.
- Follow the standard Linux Mint installation procedure - choose timezone, partitions, username, password etc.
- Disconnect the installation media and reboot.
- Login using previously selected username and password.
Kernel upgrade
- Install the latest kernel and the latest NVIDIA graphics drivers (optionally)
$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge
- NOTE: It you have NVIDIA graphics card - do NOT reboot until NVIDIA graphics divers will be installed
NVIDIA graphics drivers (optionally)
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa $ sudo apt update $ nvidia_driver=$(apt-cache search "nvidia-driver-[0-9][0-9][0-9]" | grep -o "nvidia-driver-[0-9][0-9][0-9]" | sort | tail -1) $ sudo apt install $nvidia_driver vdpauinfo mesa-vdpau-drivers vdpau-va-driver --install-recommends $ sudo reboot
- Then run nvidia-smi command, you should see current NVIDIA card status:
$ watch -n1 nvidia-smi Sun May 26 15:57:21 2019 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 430.14 Driver Version: 430.14 CUDA Version: 10.2 | |-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.

I3M Panel
- Integrated interactive information monitor I3M is a GUI system integrated in the front panel of Airtop
- Download and install the package for Airtop3:
$ wget http://www.fit-pc2.com/download/airtop/Airtop2/airtop-fpsvc_systemd.deb $ sudo dpkg -i airtop-fpsvc_systemd.deb ... Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/airtop-fpsvc.service → /lib/systemd/system/airtop-fpsvc.service. Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/gpu-thermald.service → /lib/systemd/system/gpu-thermald.service.
- Note, the package adds "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" string to the kernel boot line
- Reboot the Airtop after installation
- Now you can navigate through menus between multiple screens of the I3M that display system information, temperatures, power consumption and notifications
MPV media player
- Well known free and open-source multimedia player
- Supports GPU accelerated video decoding including CUDA decoding on NVIDIA GPUs and gives excellent playback quality
- Compatible with the most popular video formats
$ sudo apt install mpv
For example, Airtop3 with Quadro RTX 4000 is capable to play 4K UHD using CUDA video decoding without significant system load:
$ mpv -fs --hwdec=cuda ~/Videos/jellyfish/jellyfish-140-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv Playing: ~/Videos/jellyfish/jellyfish-140-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (hevc 3840x2160 29.970fps) (+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (truehd 6ch 48000Hz) AO: [pulse] 48000Hz 5.1(side) 6ch s32 Using hardware decoding (cuda).
