The lenovo gives nothing but an exe at their site to update the bios, so... Your way i think can't be useful. Ok, well I apologize if you find my answer is not use full....<snip> I'm pretty sure the OP meant something along the lines of 'doesn't seem applicable (..in their case)', nothing in a nega...

..<snip>..the creation of the bootable USB drive still required a Windows installation somewhere..<snip> Apparently, the USB drive is not necessarily 'bootable' in case of similar HP tool, even though it did create an EFI directory on the drive. In a recent experience of mine with my HP laptop, jus...

Haven't done it myself, but I think you can create a partial image of your partition with ddrescue (gddrescue, telling it 'Bytes to SKIP' + 'Size to copy' - see 'man ddrescue'), then run photorec on that partial disk image. This will work only if you are sure about the area on which your files needi...

Formatting, dd, testdisk, low-level format, disk repairing software tools etc. all will work only if the flash memory inside the device becomes 'readable' first (at hardware level). That is, a 'Communication Link' between the flash memory and the computer is the first and foremost requirement for su...

First, it could be that the control electronics on the device are damaged.. +1 The "pulled mid-transfer" thing may just be a coincidence, or the internal circuitry (most likely the flash memory) of the drive might have been too sensitive. I usually get this "unable to enumerate USB d...

Has anyone seen this type of thing before.. Just sharing a similar experience - I remember an old custom build desktop pc whose 250 GB seagate barracuda 7200 rpm got into a similar situation. The previously installed windows xp on it started crashing frequently, throwing multiple I/O errors everyti...

Did you try any of the grub chainloading tricks? https://superuser.com/a/811142

So it was you behind those 700 MB 'dll' files in windows directories. The customers did look sane as they claimed.

You sure it was.... just Coffee? I mean nothing else with it, or IN it??

I don't think Network Manager can be the culprit here. Because any connection management tool is not supposed to interfere with connection speed unless you explicitly tell it to (like the workaround you used). What you found is NM's capability to force a command/parameter, just like the three other ...

..I have date 27/09/19 ie September 27th,2019 on cell A2 and 03/10/19 October 3rd,2019 on cell A3.I have right clicked on both cells and from format cells the category is Date,Format is 31/12/99 and Format Code is DD/MM/YY. Hi. Is it possible that the dates have changed to text values somehow? That...

EDIT: but a udev rule is probably the way to go, for example: # /etc/udev/rules.d/10-autoneg.rules ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="enp0s25", RUN+="/sbin/ethtool -s enp0s25 autoneg on" (Untested) The /etc/rc.local method has always appealed to me as ...

Where are the initial settings located for the Ethernet hardware? I'd like to correct this "autoneg off" problem at the source, rather than patch down-stream. It should be 'on' by default. I don't know if something is changed in Debian 10 or the kernel module to cause this. As you suggest...

* ethtool enp0s25 ....<snip>.... Advertised auto-negotiation: No Have you also tried the 'ethtool ..... autoneg=off' trick following some online tips? Autonegotiation is necessary for gigabit speed. Please try - ethtool -s enp0s25 autoneg on Then post back the output of 'ethtool enp0s25' if the pro...

I wonder if you should not try r8168-dkms (8.047.02-1) from SID. Just tried. No difference Just for confirmation, can you post the outputs of ethtool and ethtool -i with the new driver? Plus, the output of - lsmod | grep 8168 There's an even newer one here, though I haven't tried compiling it : htt...

Isn't there a guide that's just as good or even better than this .pdf? I believe no single guide can suit the needs of all 'Beginners'. Because their interests, likes-dislikes, reasons for using computer, levels of understanding, patience, motivations for choosing Linux etc. are almost as diverse a...

I configured my router to use google public-dns As I am connected to the University network, I do not have full freedom for DNS configuration, unfortunately. DNS can be, and usually is configured locally in the OS itself (see this good post by HoaS - http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=708268#...

Seems a bit odd sharing Ubuntu based guide on Debian forum, but in general - Good work! Very useful and very nicely formatted, laid out. Thanks for sharing the impressive work! A humble suggestion - Adding a short, hyperlinked Index at the beginning of the guide, and detailed Index at the beginning ...

I believe that should be the first step when asking for help on a script.

I also tried "switching to software-based encryption by creating a file at /etc/modprobe.d/rt.conf" This is for a Ralink wireless controller, not your Realtek ethernet controller. I doubt that this kind of controller does any encryption. Indeed, that trick is not applicable to the driver ...
