My wifi card just stops working after a resume from suspend. I cannot get it to come back after resume. After some time fucking with it, I just turned off suspend. And turned on close lid = power down. EZ.

I had this happen with my touchpad and started with the solution you did.

I figured out how to restart the touchpad at the kernel, which fixed it. Then, I figured out how to run those commands after it wakes from suspend.

Works like a dream now.

SynopsisTantilize ,

Lol I should probably grow up and figure out my problem instead of putting the bandaid on it.

Got into an argument about this once. The other person insisted that if I wipe my hard drive and reinstall, that I’m a pathetic moron who doesn’t deserve to use a computer.

In fairness, it’s usually better to fix things so you can learn, but dang they were toxic.

Pilferjinx ,

It's great when you're young and have the spare time and energy on such things.

To be fair, at least with Windows, if you do a reinstall I've always found that it never runs quite like it used to. I've sometimes had to deal with some weird quirks afterwards. A friend of mine who kept switching between Google Android and open-sourve Android on his phone said the same thing. Every time he reinstalled Google Android, it simply wouldn't run as well as it did beforehand.

It's like taking a plumbing pipe out and putting it back in. Or taking apart a car engine and putting it back together. It never quite fits together the way it used to anymore.

I had the opposite experience with Windows (7 up to 10), every now and then I would have to reinstall it to get some random feature working, which made the system run smoothly for a while - which checks out, considering Windows' affinity for software rot.

Then again, I increasingly debloated it as time went on, which I'd assume contributes to its instability.

People like that are why more folks don't like Linux and tech in general.

Bro, gatekeeping computers is something children do.

You learn plenty by breaking and reinstalling. I don't considering it an invalid option for a home user. I had to reinstall MacOS7/8 and Windows 95/98 so many times as a kid. Learned a lot doing it, sysadmin now 🤷‍♂️

You learn a lot more by reading and fixing. That's simply not possible with Windows.

Whenever we (Brother and I) broke our W95 install, it was a pretty high stakes race against the clock to get it to work as expected again, because if my dad got home from work and found out about the broken machine, there would be consequences (him being frustrated, us not allowed to play C&C red alert or Warcraft II)

Honestly kicking myself for not having this setup on my last Linux install

Good news is it's setup on my current install

Sometimes I learn my lessons the hard way... Multiple times.

drathvedro ,

Re-installs are for scrubs windows users. We don't do that here. SSH from other machine, chroot from live usb, switch to TTY or even UEFI interactive shell. Fix your shit, and get to understand how it works while at it.

Tarqon ,

Yes that's the "spend hours" part.

icedterminal ,

Being able to do this is why Linux is so amazing. If Windows finds a corrupt file and can't repair itself, you gotta find the package it's part of (Windows update catalog), or create an ISO that's updated to do an offline repair. If the registry gets fucked, good luck fixing that.

drathvedro ,

Exactly! I rant about this a lot, but I know at least couple of people who run with laptops that have broken audio. As it turns out, installing sound card drivers is not really an option as the janky-ass drivers that the manufacturers put out nowadays can irreparably brick your entire system. It is beyond my understanding why recovery, restore, and even safe mode would even try to load them in the first place, but, apparently they do, and then crash before you could even do anything, leaving re-install as the only option.

Meanwhile, I rm -rf-ed my /boot directory the other day, and then df-ed a couple gigs of /dev/zero straight into /dev/sda. Got it back up running in just a few hours... of kicking myself for why would I do such a stupid thing.

lightnsfw ,

do you mean dd ?

drathvedro ,

Oh yeah. Given how close the keys are together I might have tried to use dc and ss as well

Evil_Shrubbery , (Bearbeitet )

In the olden days, I would have spent hours to fix it, completely forget everything I've done over the course of those several hours and then having to reinstall it bcs I've broken something else in those unsuccessful attempts and now dont have the energy to figure out this clusterfuck too.

Ahh, good memories.

Cold_Brew_Enema ,

You're really selling me on Linux. Sounds like a nightmare

Evil_Shrubbery ,

That was a decade+ ago, closer to two.

I've always had far more driver issues with Windows.

I have a niche laptop that for mic & speakers doesn't really have drivers for that exact ID and a close (working) match are ancient, so can't avoid crackling sounds. No issues out of the box with Linux.

Yesterday I tried to format and encrypt a usb drive, accidentally encrypted the main drive and it wouldn't boot to a snapshot before that. Decided to go for EndevourOS (Arch BTW) instead of Tumbleweed because I found Tumbleweeds installer too complicated.

Ok. I’ve downloaded, tar and gunzipped the files for it.

Then did a make build and then make install. Now my system won’t start. What do I do?

What
In the off chance that this isn't a joke, does your distro really not have timeshift binaries?

Same, it's saved my butt so many times. Once in the middle of a tech conference, I was messing around in the terminal with my networking and borked something really bad.

I spent 5 minutes trying to get my networking back but couldn't figure out what I had screwed up and ended up breaking it more.

I just went into Timeshift and restored to the beginning of that day and in a few minutes I was back up like nothing had happened.

I just learned yesterday, that you have to switch vulkan packages (including lib32 version) if you switch to proprietary nvidia driver 😂 only to learn that I don’t have enough RAM for cyberpunk, after it finally started..

2x16gb is on its way 🥳

SynopsisTantilize ,

Oh. Explain this one to me. Might be why I'm getting absolutely shit fps in helldivers

Petter1 ,

I found out by checking installed packages using yay vulkan and saw that vulkan-nouveau (and lib32 version) where installed and lib32-nvidia-utils where missing (nvidia utils was installed)
Installed lib32-nvidia-utils, removed both nouveau vulkan packages and clean dependencies using yay -Yc
After reboot, it was working.

On KDE you can check vulkan in the tool that is linked in the about page in the settings. But maybe only 64bit version, steam uses 32bit.

SynopsisTantilize ,

Thanks!!! I use mint but I'm sure it'll be similar. I'll take a look tonight after work. I have a 1060 but I should be getting 60fps stable 720p low at least. My poor laptop is cooking itself trying to run the wrong software packages lmao
