Re: sata5 crypt

Ok, that is what I suspected. Try the USB, then, the next step will be to get into BIOS to try a couple of things. Bring up your BIOS settings and make note of all the settings - so you can revert settings if things get worse. Browse the BIOS settings and look for an entry: Fast Boot - Enabled chang...

Re: sata5 crypt

Firstly, check the BIOS settings thoroughly to make sure all are ok. Next, do you know for sure that the CD/DVD/USB are truly bootable? Test on another machine and see if they work to successfully boot. If the install disks are good, use them to boot the Dell server, after first disconnecting the ha...

Re: Laptop won't wake from sleep (intermittent)

Sad to hear. As I'm no expert with these type of issues, I could only glean clues which helped solve it for me, which took months - it's been faultless for weeks now. I would watch the power and hard-drive LEDs when going to sleep, and it looked to me like the failures where occuring because of some...

Re: [Software] Best software for a backup server

I cast my vote for 'rsync'... Rsync is the best backup software I have ever used. Probably the best software I have ever used - for stability, reliability, and always getting the job done. I use rsync for all essential backups, including files at home, and server files. Provided the command is confi...

Re: Laptop won't wake from sleep (intermittent)

Hi, your situation has similarities to mine. Try changing that first parameter (keep the other two), update-grub and reboot. Replace this parameter: pcie_aspm=force With this: pci=pcie_bus_perf Command: update-grub Reboot. Then test again - do several suspends a day, as many as you like, to see if i...

Re: Laptop won't wake from sleep (intermittent)

OK. I suggest adding some kernel parameters which may help. Edit file (as root): /etc/default/grub Add the 3 parameters in the line, as shown below: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="pcie_aspm=force nohibernate=1 acpi=copy_dsdt ..." Save the file, then issue command as root: update-grub Reboot, ...

Re: Laptop won't wake from sleep (intermittent)

Hi Nick, if you have no ACPI errors, you are doing well. The 'dmesg' will provide clues to potential hardware/firmware issues.

Can you post also the output of:

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep ASPM

Re: Laptop won't wake from sleep (intermittent)

Hi Nick, I had similar problems and tried many things, now its finally fixed. Here are some things to check first. Check what mode/s of sleep are supported on your system, with this command: cat /sys/power/mem_sleep Mostly this problem stems from ACPI issues due to buggy BIOS (Windows-centric) imple...

Re: Errors while updating system or install new packages Debian 12 (Solved sort of)

I noticed the error after recent upgrade of linux-image-6.1.0-9-amd64 to linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64. Even after killing raspi-firmware (Random_Troll directions), the new image kept trying to take, but always with errors (as described in this thread).

Re: [Software] VirtualBox for Bookworm... when?

Mike these are the 2 pages to keep an eye on:
https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

After it's released on their official site for download, the Debian Fast Track repository will have it available. My best guess is by the end of this month.
