The question is if it is not limited by the board. If I disable Legacy USB I can not use the keyboard/mouse and I have to reset the bios. But even in Legacy mode I see in boot options UEFI USB disk, however it does not boot, but same stick boots on the more recent notebook. Does someone knows more about it. What and where to check?

USB UEFI recovery stick
Hi all, is there a way to have a USB UEFI stick that works similar to the Debian installer - for example to boot into UEFI and recover the boot loader. One machine here seems a bit older and refuses to boot into UEFI from the USB - rendering USB obsolete as recovery option. In BIOS USB says AUTO (other option is Legacy) however if I disable Legacy keyboard does not work. -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0

Looking into the details to me it seems exactly as expected. The liberal hijacked Debian as they did and do routinely with many other organizations. So now the Communist Party of Debian can rule with CoC. Great job - makes me feel proud of Debian (ironically). And I can imagine what will happen in the future. Debian will become like many other companies a victim of its CoC where it is not important to provide good software but to comply with what the communist party elite says. This is a pandemic for itself. I will be not surprised if I replace debian with something else in the future. Not because I care that much about the CoC, but because the ideologically motivated organization will not be able to deliver the expected quality. -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0

Some concise statement > from somebody in the Debian project with insights into the issue could > prevent Debian from bad repute by declassifying which are the positions > of the present disagreement. I am not aware of the current problem, but my personal observation is that there are more often such conflicts and I expect the number to rise in future. According my observation the problem is in lack of education in the fields of logic and rhetoric. The new generation (called milenials or gen Z or whatever) mostly brainwashed to the political left, but I do not exclude also the once to the right, are not able to have a meaningful debate. So what happens - again this is my personal opinion - they are not able to have a meaningful conversation over an issue and can not solve conflicts. Thus the only way is to break the communication. Sadly this is observable also in politics and I hope we do not end up in nuclear war. The first such experience I had was exactly the KDE project, when it released version 4. It was not possible to convince the developers that we need a working desktop and not just shiny one. So I had to abandon KDE. Since then I had this experience in many different situations especially with younger people. It is very sad! Again I see this problem mainly in the education, but it could have also relation to the family a person was raised in. All together it is sad that conflicts are not solved for one or another reason. -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0

Yes sure, I have a PC store and 5 monitors to choose from :/ Most probably it is the stupidity of developers of course, especially if you are on a new Gnome or KDE or derivative desktop. Guys did not get it that they are testing for free. But I admit there might be a chance to be hardware failure ... around 1%. Few days ago the notebook stopped seeing the monitor. It turned out it is the HDMI cable or the KVM inbetween - I need another cable to test ... but luckily I have a PC store and can borrow one from there :D I hope you have a sense of humor.

If it is a straight forward RS232 on the mainboard of the server and you are using something like minicom, you just need to reconnect to the device (after attaching the cable). If you have an issue with that, you need to debug what is going on. IF you have the rs232 serial as module, you can try SSH to the server and rmmod/insmod or modprobe ... but if you could SSH why would you RS232 to the server?

what to do with USB stick that gives badblocks errors
I'm sure there are many ideas around, but I want to hear your opinion so there is one USB stick that I noticed started mocking about errors when booting off. I ran badblocks (without options) and then with -s -n and this produced a slightly different output. Is the output resulting from the options or is something really wrong with the USB Should I throw it away?

Yes with this option it is working. I still wonder why this is necessary and

I forgot to mention that home is actually a link to home-lisa which is the
mount point for the NFS share.
I now used strace

so you see it resolves the link, but then fails with Forbidden.
Now I conducted the same test after createing a symlink to the local
directory (thus exclude NFS as root for the problem)
The result is the same

Conclusion: the problem is related to the directory link in the path and to
me it looks like a problem in obexd

Thank you, yes it is interesting indeed, because obexd is started as the user and should operate on behalf of the user. /home/user/Downloads/ is on NFS share, but Downloads is writable only for the user (700) these are the mount options type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.40.68,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.40.40,_netdev) IMO there is something fishy in obexd, because as you see it is able to create the file, but not write the content and I am not that enlightened in this matter :/. -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0

HP Elitebook with external display and color issue
Hi, I don't know how to explain my problem, but I try hoping that someone would understand and help me fix it. So I have one HP Elitebook (I think it is 820 G2) with 16GB RAM and Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz. The issue is that when it starts with its own display the colors are OK, but as soon as I activate an additional display the colors get messed and it is looking ugly like described https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Video-Display-and-Touch/820-g1-Ubuntu-Screen-artifacts/m-p/7029819/highlight/true#M188601) It is not clear to me what should I do to solve it.

All other exotic phones are too expensive, have limitted ecosystem, small community, bugs etc. Of course it depends on the usecases, but for the price and capability of the hardware it is expected to be more than a phone. Anyway it depends on the use cases, but I think it should be mentioned what are the limitations and first hand experiences.

There are OSes for true believers. I'm using one that is more or less OK. It is called Sailfish and for 50,- on top you can use Android apps in the emulator.

Try with the bios boot from device (some F key). Because you have installed Windows after Debian it could be it has overwritten the EFI partition or the boot order. Once I had to delete the EFI partition and reinstall which solved it, but in your case it might be that the EFI now loads the windows first which might be set in the BIOS or in the EFI. I don't have dual boot, but when I boot from USB stick I have to F9 (HP EliteBook) once so that the bios find the usb and then again F9 which shows the debian boot option.

As this is a fresh installation, why don't you just wipe everything linux partitions and install again the way you want it. Alternatively boot into a usb or live cd or installer, mount the volumes and chroot into (there are many howtos) I use something like following where SYSTEM is the target ppath mount --make-unbindable -obind /proc/ $SYSTEM/proc/ && \ mount --make-unbindable -obind /dev/ $SYSTEM/dev/ && \ mount --make-unbindable -obind /dev/pts $SYSTEM/dev/pts && \ mount --make-unbindable -obind /run $SYSTEM/run && \ mount --make-unbindable -obind /sys $SYSTEM/sys/ && \ chroot $SYSTEM su - when you are there reinstall grub and run update-grub I hope this helps
