experienced?!?
That's wrong.
Before I posted some (not all) of the bug reports, the Dell laptop
stopped booting properly rather early; the root cause is still unknown
(though an intermediate cause is finally resolved now, the bug report is
already closed). It took me a bit to get a working console, a mouse and
network going so as to simply be able to start debugging. Some other
machines I manage had (and still have) other, less severe symptoms,
e.g., Wayland and programs depending on Wayland (e.g., “foot”) failing
to start after Debian upgrade.
If your computer doesn't boot properly, you go one by one through every
suspicious message you find. The fact that some messages are shown as
warnings and others as errors is clearly meant to warn whoever reads
them (i.e., the admin) and make him/her concerned. By the definition of
the terms “warning” and “error”! If these messages shouldn't make the
admin concerned, well, then the journalctl shouldn't show these messages
as warnings (AFAIK, yellow) and errors (red according to `man
journalctl`). Please don't try to unload on me because of this mess;
I'm just an admin, and not even a developer.
Therefore, please restore the bug reports you closed.
Gratefully,
Alma
