But Debian doesn't sell enterprise support while trying to screw its users

Didn't even need dmesg this time! in c/[email protected]

stable is called stable because of stability

stability
noun [ U ]
uk
/stəˈbɪl.ə.ti/ us
/stəˈbɪl.ə.t̬i/
C1
a situation in which something is not likely to move or change:
a period of political stability

The point of a stable distro is that it's unchanging. That way you have predictable issues that you can solve in the same way for the lifetime of that version.

Reliability is a side benefit of maintainers choosing the best available version to freeze.

Ackshyually stable only relates to the release schedule. Stability is not reliability.

Plenty wrong with Ubuntu.

Sure, it won't inhibit their actions at all, but it greatly reduces the negativity I experience here and stops me from interacting with it in c/[email protected]

I've even had constructive conversation on Hexbear before

I'm guessing you didn't go against the flow?

One time I said it's fucked up that Romani children are taken away from primary school and married off to have children.

Within an hour, I had crazy fucks publicly screaming at me how I'm a nazi and advocating genocide. Meanwhile I was also getting private messages about how they're hoping I would suffer and some shit.

(partially solved, will update when completed) Please help with an xfce/powerup bug: black screen after suspend/hibernate (programming.dev)

MX Linux, Xfce 4.18

Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I'm guessing it's related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it's black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I've tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

ps -ef | grep -E 'screen|lock'

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

updates:

I'm not seeing a black screen, instead it turns on the display and then turns it off.

Additionally, I tried closing and opening the lid a few times, and it woke up correctly.

I tried it in i3wm with the xfce power manager to suspend after closing the lid. It woke up correctly 10 times in a row.

Solution: start an xrandr config and the monitor turns back on.

This community is:

A general purpose programming community for English speakers

Language specific posts like:

and ide specific posts like:

intellij and docker are eating my rams, pls help

are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I'm here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I'd have subbed to /c/javascript...

Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?
