I sure hope the moderators of this forum are technically gifted and are able to release ALL of us from the GLITCH of perpitutuidom (per pi too i dumb) that we have been born into. I feel so technically random right now... Technically speaking.

Vektor LOL

Why moderators? I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about the issue?

I did not know who else to pray to. I know that you are not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition, but I could not help it.

The moderators are GOD in this arena. If anyone has a clue it is them. They.

Considerating the number of posts in this topic I am surprised I am not banned.

At this point in time I would really like you to tell me exactly what it is you would like to know. Hardware, software, implementation, configuration, new ideas or science fiction. I do not care. Show me your stuff!

Thank you for reading,

Vektor

Okay. Thanks for explaining. I'll just do a reinstall, and hope the issue doesn't happen again.

What is the goal you are trying to achieve? There are many people here on this forum willing to help. All we need is a direction. Some basic info and your goal would be a start.

All are welcome.

I've described it in the opener, as I would usually, and also as the thread, Proactive & Constructive Problem Reporting (Advice), recommends. Let me know when the hordes arrive, lol, as making the effort to report an issue is something helpful the minions do! Not just for my own hopeful resolution, which later today, if necessary, will be a snapshot reinstall. Librewolf via the repo was the only update that day, so I'm not sure if there's an issue there and if others may encounter that. Anyway, I must press on with other things for now, so will wish you a good day.

Code: Select all

This enabled shut down to work, but today booting up sticks/have to press enter. 
you mean when booting up you get the maintenance prompt?

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Thanks for responding, @dolphin_oracle ... it gets to the grub/choice screen, but doesn't automatically go through and finish booting through into password entry. Just checked the Boot Options and it looks like remembering last boot was off! I hadn't turned it off. Will test it now.
