Yeah, I'm mentally and emotionally writing this one off as the possible result of hardware defects. Thanks for the help regardless.

Sorry for the late followup, friend. That laptop ended up taking a massive dump. Got a new one with a Christmas bonus. Would it still be wise to report the bug, even though the system itself isn't working? (Intuition and laziness tells me no, but I'm open.)

Good to see you again :) You as well ^_^ Check the content of /sys/power/mem_sleep — you probably have "s2idle" selected instead of "deep". Yup, that's the only thing there. If so (and if "deep" is shown as an available option) then try # echo deep > /sys/power/mem_sle...

Update: This computer died not long after the time of writing. As such, I cannot further test or give information about the issue. It was a great irony to log in for the first time in over two years to see someone else posted an issue for this exact device. Recently, I happened upon an ASUS X205T. ...

It's serving well as a warning not to use Ubuntu ---snip--- "Feature rich" "Cutting edge" Hmmmmm... I like STABLE. Back in circa 2010, I set up an Ubuntu project server, only because it supported my drivers. Nowadays, I couldn't justify it. I do find it interesting that big, cor...

I have no idea what the purpose of this thread is.

Has anyone looked into the Rock64 boards yet?

Nice way to jump into programing \m/

I'm curious: what drove the choice for global functions and variables throughout the script?

I'll test it when I get internet again.

Explain.

...with the increasing number of windows users, now becoming Debian users... Devil's advocate stance, but what data are you basing this on? I ask because every time I've tried to get someone using any variant of Linux, they always find some reason to regress to Windows. It's weird to me. It isn't n...

I use stable debian lite. It has all the delicious flavor of regular debian but without all the calories!

To sum it up, I would never use some tool that tries to decide for me , what I need to back up and what I don't need... Yeah you're gonna have to do that research yourself. I keep my non-refundables on a separate partition and back them up to a spare directory. Here's the script I use if you're int...

I got so frustrated with fixing Windows systems that I drafted a linux spin designed to help in cases like these. Your pain is shared.

Highlights:

And here I thought he'd been cured of the frankendebian thing :mrgreen: bester is a serial troller, but he really should just make VMs for his outrageous "setups," and maintain a blog that explains these outrageous issues and their equally outrageous solutions, and become the greatest deb...

How does running a version of Firefox that will never be included in buster help the developers? I'd have to agree. This sounds like it will better serve the Firefox support forums. Was the intent supposed to be a general garnering of support for a Firefox/Wayland marriage? So far, I didn't encount...

The problem is, the net (or anything else) has never been secure nor private, and IMO if it could be made secure or private it would already be that. I can see why people would believe that. It's unsurprising that the net was designed by the government to improve lines of direct communication, but ...

Nice well written stuff though, thanks for posting it. Looks like a bunch of kids just found out there's no tooth fairy. Be real, though. If you polled 10, 100, 1000 people in public, do you really think that most of them would have an opinion about mass surveillance? Most people gladly trade the b...

If the card uses non-free firmware (most do) then uninstall the firmware to render the card non-functional. Alternatively, remove or replace the card. (I've noticed a lot of wifi-bluetooth combo cards have pretty terrible bluetooth reception, so a non-bluetooth replacement might not be the worst op...

Does someone realize if a wi-fi router in a bedroom emits radiation microwaves that may pose fitness dangers for people? Cause I'm using this IP Address: 192.168.1.1 currently. I was thinking if it is a danger for other. Should we fear or use wireless with none situation? "fitness"? i'm s...

I only use Linux versions distributed via magazine floppy disks.
