  • nvidia card by any chance?

    I think random freezing is one of the symptoms of installing it with Ventoy. Ventoy mucks up one of the installer flags or something like that, so even the wiki indicates it’s not supported. (Neither is installing it from the Live tester, if I’m not mistaken.)






  • In a bit of malicious compliance, Vivendi turned over millions of pages of Korean language documents from its local subsidiary during the discovery phase of Valve’s cybercafe lawsuit, with anything potentially useful to Valve buried under both the volume of material and a language barrier. Quackenbush turned to a summer intern identified only as “Andrew” in the documentary. A native Korean speaker who also majored in Korean language studies in college, Andrew found the needle in the haystack: An email where one Korean Vivendi executive discussed the destruction of documents related to the Valve case to their superior, with the implication that the more junior executive was ordered to do so. With this evidence in hand, Valve was able to turn the tables on Vivendi, securing a highly favorable settlement and full ownership of its IP moving forward.

    It’s not clear to me how the email described was helpful though?







  • I mean, Snapper did its job. My hardware failed. I managed to get it going again by hammering the button with my finger.

    Yeah, I get that.

    It’s more that your post reminded me of another one I’d seen where someone didn’t read one of those “advisories” before updating Arch. And Timeshift couldn’t save them, so they had to figure out how to get everything up and running again.

    If I recall correctly, they did get it running again fine, it just took a few hours. But I’ve been meaning to try and find somewhere to learn more about fixing failed boot, but the spartan grub prompt scares me, lmao!

    I’m assuming Snapper can fail for the same reason Timeshift did for that guy.
