  • SOLVED: Ethernet stopped working hours after installation. Wifi works OK.

  • It's not a true hibernation state hence my statement "Fast boot is a bastardized version of hibernation".

    It's a hybrid sleep/hibernate system that causes more problems than it should.

    Not all hardware works with it, it causes problems with updates and some software does not play nicely with it.

    I know of a number of business IT departments that disable it company wide as it is a considerable source of problems.

  • If you are dual booting make sure that windows fast boot is disabled.

    Fast boot is a bastardized version of hibernation which can keep hardware "in use" by windows if any other OS tries to use the hardware.

    One of the common issues is ethernet & wifi not working or not connecting.

  • Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?

    Jump

  • The issues with Nvidia GPU's has been blown up way to much in the last few years in my opinion.

    The potential problems you "might" face are:

    • Not backing up your system before updating
    • Using too old or too new a kernel version (Older versions may break or cause issue with newer drivers and bleeding edge kernels may introduce issues that weren't caught during QA) * Always have a LTS kernel installed as well as a newer supported kernel
    • Using brand new hardware too soon (aka don't expect a newly released card to work perfectly day one)
    • Trying to use GPU's in edge case uses or pushing the envelope without knowing what you are doing
    • Not backing up your system
    • Trying to use the wrong kind of card for your needs (A Quadro card isn't going to work well as a RTX card)
    • Not updating your system (Nvidia drivers get regular updates)

    For most major distros now a days you either select the Nvidia option when installing (like Manjaro) or install the drivers afterwards (Ubuntu based) and be off to the races.

    Set up and use Timeshift, make a backup before installing updates and you can roll back if there is an issue.

  • My manager is also tuckered out after the long weekend

    Jump

  • Well of course she would be, having to keep on top of an employee who is constantly slacking off with providing treats and skritches.

    You will need to step up your game or you will be put on a purrformance improvement plan.

  • What's up with distrowatch and MX Linux?

    Jump

  • From what I understand about distrowatch is that their "ranking" system is based on how many people (or bots) visit a distros page.

  • Update on Furryosa!

    Jump

  • Looks like a layer of skin was taken off.

    A few of my cats over the years have had similar where it weeps constantly as the trapped fur pulls the scab open over and over as they move around and groom themselves until the underlying wound heals and the sticky, gooey mess of fur and scab come off.

  • Woke up little Furryosa too early and she surprisingly didn't choose violence.

  • "Purrturbed"

  • Worked late doing Uber in a tourist trap. Accept a video of Furryosa as my apology!

    Jump

  • The brushing most probably overstimulated her.

  • Looking for a distro that creates users on first boot after installation

    Jump

  • It's called "OEM install".

    Ubuntu based distros should have it.

  • Are we a joke to you?

  • That look is more of a "get the wet food out servant!" to me.
