Thanks vv0yy for these instructions, it helped me get hibernation working. :) --- To find out your swap file location. (assuming you already have one) look in /etc/fstab for the swap file location and/or cat /proc/swaps --- 5. update initframs sudo update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r) If you want to d...

I started getting the error at about the same time frame as you. Failed to load R0 module /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDDR0.r0: Unable to locate imported symbol 'memset' for module 'VBoxDDR0.r0' (VERR_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND). Failed to load ring-0 module 'VBoxDDR0.r0' for device 'pci' (VERR_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND). ...

But I suggest you clean installation of debian, because you have copied part of contents in some ntfs partition onto /. Curious where this idea came from. I never mentioned anything about copying stuff from an NTFS partition(s) to Linux. Even if I did, it shouldn't cause any issues(beside file perm...

That fixed it! I can boot into Debian. Thanks kiyop, Head_on_a_Stick!, and anyone else who helped!

Filesystem error might have caused the error. Try chroot and "grub-install" and "update-grub". `fsck` says the partions are ok now. It wasn't for an OS one, so no changes with that. I've noticed that sometimes `update-grub` doesn't even find Windows. I haven't figured out the pa...

Can you boot up the GRUB .efi loader with a custom NVRAM entry? efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -L "Custom" -l /EFI/debian/grubx64.efi This will create a new boot entry in your firmware ("BIOS") bootmanager called "Custom" There's now an efi entry called "custom&qu...

Try (backing up first and) removing this xorg configuration file?
Rebooting and seeing what happens when you try the `startx` command?

Are you sure that /dev/sda1 (the EFI system partition) was mounted to /boot/efi (in the chroot) when you ran that command? is was, and is in chroot: grep "sda1 " /proc/mounts /dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=rem...

[edit: added in text saying rather or not a command was run from the `chroot` environment or `live disk` environment, and some other minor edits] Did you disable secure boot? I believe that it's been off the whole time. Is there a way to verify this from inside Linux? You should mount EFI SYTEM part...

I've set my EFI-BIOS to CMS off(legacy mode off). In this mode only Windows 10, and SystemRescueCd CD will boot. The Yumi USB stick and the debian-live-8.4.0-amd64-kde-desktop DVD don't work in this mode, and the SystemRescueCd CD seams to work only some of the startups, other times it completely lo...

Boot Info Script e7fc706 + Boot-Repair extra info [Boot-Info 9Feb2015] ============================= Boot Info Summary: =============================== => Grub2 (v2.00) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 311128064 of the same hard drive for core.img. core.img is at this locatio...

[Should this be in 'Installation' section or the 'System configuration' section or something else?] System is no longer booting into Debian , instead I'm getting: error: file `/boot/grub/x86_64-efi\normal.mod' not found. Entering rescue mode ... grub rescue>_ The `/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod' ...

If you already have Linux installed or are using a 'Live Disk' you can try uname -m or for more details uname -a For more information about this command see man uname press ' q ' to quit to quit the man page (don't know what it'll say, if running software for an 'older' but compatible setup than the...

If you want to change the permissions mode of files copied with `install` man install -m, --mode=MODE set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x the install command is copying the file as rxxr-xr-x Are you sure the character after the first 'r' is an 'x'? Don't think I've ever seen that...

Update: This doesn't seam to occur anymore. (at least this session) Not sure what I've done that could have fixed this, or how long it's been fixed. (I've been leaving the laptop's lid open, and not checking what happens when lid gets shut) ?Updating the OS?, ?switching back to NVidia drivers?(they ...

Don't know if this is the same issue as yours, etc..., but
I have a link at '/vmlinuz' that points to 'boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64'.
Adjust for where yours should point to, etc...

You might want to do a checksum check on your CD before resinstall. Better safe than sorry.

After a freeze, what is the output of: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [ 31.402] (EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0) [ 31.893] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): [COPY] failed to allocate class. Same before and after.the outpu...

When the GUI is frozen I can still use `xbindkeys` keyboard shortcuts to launch applications. I just don't see any changes in the GUI, except for the mouse pointer moving around when I move the mouse.

ran `dmesg` from a CTRL+ALT+F[1..6] screen(used CTRL+ALT+F[7..12] to get back) before and after the GUI freeze
The first time added a "mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged" while the second time didn't.
