I won't swear! Yes of course, SHIFT and select the text would work - I didn't think to continue the SHIFT 'meme' to escape vim's VISUAL clutches. I guess its always easy once you know and of course it is assumed knowledge otherwise. Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

Hi all, this is following on from an older post: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=647981 where they deal with the same question.

Off a reasonable clean install of MX KDE Plasma, I see that within the cli vim, the normal SHIFT-CTRL-C doesn't load highlighted text into the system clipboard ...

Thanks. Yes, I live w workarounds as well. But as this is a new distribution, I think it is important to actually fix these niggling issues so that newbies don't have to deal with them. Anyway, thanks very much for your help (and Charlie Brown for his).

sigh, so I reinstated the 99-wiki script and it didn't run. It turned out hibernation wasn't working - does this require swap space? Anyway, I switched to sleep mode, the script started working and the interface comes up every time now. When I switched to simple 'turn the screen off' mode when ...

no, will show that below. First, as explained before in the thread, when I go through the close/open lid cycle, the 1st time it deactivates the wireless, the second time it just wakes the wireless up and reconnects by itself. I've attached files with the syslog and iw event log outputs; the files ...

OK, I shutdown cron/anacron to declutter syslog as the latter always ran after opening the lid. Increased the logging per your suggestion, thanks. I also put in a log entry prior to shutting.

syslog:

yes, you're right, that deauth message happens as part of the wireless shutdown, but nothing preceding it during these events, other than . I changed the timing and it has no effect. What ever is happening just isn't being recorded that I can see.

hm, yesterday's post didn't take. Anyway, no intermittent disconnects, only happens with hibernation.

OK so I looked up the kernel message:

wlan0: deauthenticating from 5c:a6:e6:55:27:e5 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)


There are a number of circumstances where this occurs, a long ...

"does it show up in any of the /var/log/pm-suspend.log logs."

gah, didn't have my admin hat fully in place... It is in the log. Anyway, with all that:

I rejigged the script:
#!/bin/bash

ah, sorry, I should have mentioned I'm a somewhat recently retired system admin, so I did check the obvious. The file was executable, I did check /tmp and the sleeper file wasn't there.

The problem w the suggestion is that I already tried this - in the previous script, I had put the service and ...
