OK, this is really a bad gaff here. Some person put this computer into hybernation unbeknownst to me. Since he is too old and grown to beat.. I'll have to settle for an upbraiding. I've never used hybernation on a desktop computer, and did not recognize that was what was going on. I saw the computer lights off, and pushed the on button... which lead to the grub prompt and all the heaving and hoeing. All squared away now after systemRescue chroot etc etc, update-grub, and on and on, finally an fsck.ext4 on / was required and had many errors fixed. For future reference... how does one bring a hybernated computer out of hybernation gracefully. And more important how does one disable hybernation entirely. In fact, how does one recognize that a computer is hybernated? This one just appeared off. Does it have to be taken out at kernel level or is there some way to disable it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
