Thanks for the video. The click doesn't get a blank screen, but rather a return to the login screen, but the problem is clear. Before I saw the video I wrote out a proposal to check firefox and dwm, which was the following: To check whether dwm or firefox is a problem, it may be worth trying...

The problem is a little unclear to me. Are you experiencing "Screen turns black" when clicking links in firefox when running dwm, but when running cinnamon, firefox runs properly? Normally the window manager, or desktop environment, will not alter the functioning of a web browser like firefox.

@truckerDave , perhaps try: ExecStart=/bin/bash -c /usr/doorbell.sh

The problem of outage of the linux.org website has been much greater than the claimed "overall uptime" of ~99.6%. That 99.6% would suggest that the website has only been down for around 6 minutes in a day, but that simply is not the case here where it's been down for as long as 10 minutes...

At Red Hat, they mention the following: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/managing_software_with_the_dnf_tool/index Old timers, perhaps :) , who were used to typing yum under the fingers, may still use it, but it's clearly no disadvantage in...

@wolly , perhaps have a look at this thread: https://linux.org/threads/how-to-change-laptop-power-management-from-powersave-to-performance.47469/#post-209971 In some distros cpufrequtils has been replaced by cpupower from the package: linux-cpupower.

Note that firmware and drivers are separate items, both of which are needed for the device to operate. For the intel wifi, the package: firmware-iwlwifi needs to be installed, as well as the iwlwifi driver which is in the kernel in this case. If a wifi driver isn't in the kernel, it has to be...

If Debian is the user's name, then you can, as root, amend the file: /etc/sudoers by adding: Debian ALL = (ALL: ALL) ALL That will give user Debian permission to execute any command. To alter the /etc/sudoers file one usually uses the "visudo" command, as root, whilst in the /etc directory...

To check the installed status of the linux images and linux headers and lynis, you can run commands like: dpkg -l | grep linux-image dpkg -l | grep linux-headers dpkg -l | grep lynis and if the output lines begin with ii, it means that according to the system, they have been successfully...

The problem appears to be that the kernel is trying to compile a module/driver for Anbox Android container, but the code that the kernel is trying to compile has problems, hence it throws an error, so the user is directed to: Consult /var/lib/dkms/anbox-binder/1/build/make.log for more...

That resulting output from the aplay command is rather decisive. If alsa can't see the sound card, the kernel can't do anything with audio. I should have included that investigation in post #5. What comes to mind is to upgrade the kernel to the latest possible one so that the system gets the...

Yes, it's safe to alter the BIOS/UEFI option to AHCI and indeed preferable if not running RAID. Before installing linux mint, it's also useful to disable fast boot, and secure boot in the BIOS/UEFI.

@new_vintage , here are some considerations. The system appears to not see the codec for the system sound card, but only the audio codec on the Radeon video card from the output in your post #6: mad_hatter@rabbit_hole:~> cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec Codec: ATI R6xx HDMI This is...

Frustrating issue. Some suggestions for more info: Check the codecs that the system has provided: cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec Check for missing firmware dmesg | grep - firmware Check sound server status: systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service Check what's controlling...
