From the LiveUSB, make sure to check the boot record, and that Grub is there. If not, look up installing grub properly from a LiveUSB. Here’s a general example, though it’s using Ubuntu (shouldn’t matter much) https://www.fosslinux.com/4477/how-to-repair-the-grub-bootloader-using-a-ubuntu-live-usb-drive.htm

du -hsc /var

Check the sheets to see which directories are taking up your space.

Not impossible you just killed your drive somehow, though unlikely.

Does the laptop have a manual boot menu you can try and select the drive to boot from?

If it still boots off the LiveUSB, plug that in and see if you can view the filesystem of the drive having issues. Double check in a disk manager that it says it’s bootable, then reboot, go to the LiveUSB Grub menu, and see if there is an option to skip booting the LiveUSB and boot from disk. See if anything happens then. It’s only two levels of debugging, but one or the other is going to show if your drive is not cooperating.

100% Brother, but shop from their Refurbished Store and save a ton of money. Comes with the same warranty as if it were new, and everything ships with toner included.

1. What do you mean “on the same bridge”? A bridged network is a connection from a virtual adapter through the host machine for network access. Is review these connections to make sure you haven’t done something like duplicate an adapter and attempt to share address space. Also confirm which piece of networking is broke: DNS, ping, using DHCP, default gateway?
2. Pretty sure PBS is advised to NOT be used for targets on the same machine while running in a VM. I’ve seen people with the same issues many times, and it’s because it’s running in a VM and attempting to execute backups on the same instance. It’s supposed to be run a distinctly separate instance itself that can communicate with the clients on all targets.

Time usually means Heat or Memory issues.

1. What are your system specs?
2. How much times passes before it crashes?
3. Does this happen with a brand new user you e created and logged in as, or just this one user?
4. There are errors for core apps in those logs. Do Kontact and Discover actually launch?

Don’t fucking care. It’s a stupid product for a stupid company.

Spend your effort actually helping the world and the people that inhabit it, you disgusting human.

Just install Fedora and be done with it.

It’s to try and stage off AMD who has cornered the other half of the data center. Nvidia just had the come up on GPUs in DC’s, but lost a decade to trying to compete with AMD there. Now AMD has the most sought after high density chips and FPGA platform with no competition. Nvidia thinks this will slow AMDs sales there I’m sure.

xdg-open is responsible for handling those. You just need to change what it thinks the default might be: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1ha9czj/setting_default_browser_for_opening_links_with/

Try running sudo shutdown -h now and see if it still does the same thing.

If so, try forcing ACPI actions like so and see what happens: https://askubuntu.com/questions/125844/shutdown-does-not-power-off-computer#127022

I know this an ACPI tables issue, but there’s a wide variety of debug steps to figure out which one.

Have you updated the firmware recently? https://us.starlabs.systems/blogs/news/firmware-update-announcement-25-05

They’ve fixed a lot of ACPI and power issues with various models, including the mk7: https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/issues/139

What’s the model of the laptop?

Pro ably some ACPI issues. Have you changed BIOS settings or anything else recently? Did it previously work fine?

There are Linux tricks for these models of Surface devices. Go for that.

Pretty simple video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efh0M-0kEcE

Rsync will always be faster than SMB. NFS will be faster than both other options. It’s a protocol thing. You should tune your SMB config properly though, as there are tweaks that can benefit throughput greatly.

I don’t think there’s an inherent issue with 580, but maybe others can chime in with different info.

Do you know the install source for the packages?

Who ever said anything about people identifying as anything? That has nothing to do with what the discussion was. You’re extrapolating on something that isn’t there.

Sweet Jeebus, do people here not ever take the time to read and comprehend a damn thing before they bandwagon and react?? You’re saying things that apply to zero of what I’ve said, and what the original topic is about. What in the world are you even on about? Who is saying anything about people identifying however they want? Did you even read the linked thread ffs? 🤦
