[Nottingham] Re. ACEPC AK2 query - amended **

[Vadim Mankevich]

            Nic,Can you please try pressing Esc when you see lm logo. I expect you’ll see log entries then and that might give a clue. Look for error messages or when the system hangs for long on some task. By the way, did you give it enough time to boot? Booting from an old USB (I doubt they make 2GB ones nowadays) can be veeeeryyyy slooooooooooooooow :)Or maybe it’s just unreliable.--vadim at mankevich.co.uk PGP key fingerprint0xC046022A3A91455AF0C9BB2404BF882B1905C772Retrieve from hkps://pgp.mit.eduor https://keybase.io/vmankevich---- On Fri, 23 Apr 2021 17:36:33 +0100  Nic Deane via Nottingham<nottingham at mailman.lug.org.uk> wrote ---- 
   
   
    Hi Martin, 
    As per previous email. I've tried as below. I think I need to 
      water on our allotment. So, if you have a bit of time this evening 
      that would be a better time. You're probably working now anyway. 
    Many thanks, Nic 
     
     
     
    It was good to sit in with you all last night. We have moved from 
      BT to TalkTalk and are now with Vodafone over similar Broadband 
      issues. Again, as you said, if you can get to tlk with an adviser 
      you can usually get a more sensible deal! 
    You said to email you about the ACEPC AK2 problem. Here's an 
      update. 
    This afternoon I formatted a 2GB USB stick first with LMDE 4 and 
      then, when at failed, I tried formatting the stick with Mint 20.1 
      with the same results. 
    I went into the BIOS and set it  boot from he 2GB USB stick and 
      en fired t up. Both times I got the same result. 
    HDMI -> ACEPC -> lm logo -> Blinking cursor...... 
      nothing more! 
     
    When I switch off it just goes back to the lm logo and then goes 
      blank. 
     
    Any ideas from here? 
     
    My mobile phone is 07712-153882. 
    I am using my Samsung netbook with  Linux Mint MATE installed so 
      I can receive emails while trying to work on the ACEPC and my LG  
      monitor which I've unhooked from my Mintbox 2 Pro. 
    Are you free now for a few minutes? 
    Nic

          Greetings from the wild and wooly North (again), your 
            Martin 2.0 RC1 here again, and I still have no idea what's 
            going on. 
           
           
          We have:  
                NLUG: Insert Punny Title Here

        There probably should be a talk, but I don't think there is 
          anything planned. Things we could discuss: 
         
           
            Why is Ubiqiti to flamin' expensive? 
            Is TP-Link Omada a viable alternative? (Answer: almost, 
              but not quite) 
            Why not just configure OpenWRT as a "dumb" AP and be 
              done with it? 
             
            If we can send a rocket into space carrying a robot, 
              that carries a robot, that also carries a robot that can 
              fly around Mars; why can't we have printers that *JUST 
              WORK*? 
            If someone screams in 5G, is there any sound after the 
              CGNAT traversal and contention induced latency? 
            Are air fryers an active threat to your cyber-security? 
            If you've decided to solve your SSO issues with MS's 
              B2CLogin solution, congratulations! Now you have two 
              problems. 
            Whatever else you happen to bring along 
             
           
         
         
          Grab some drinks and nibbles, pull up an opinion 
            (probably best if it's your own, but it doesn't have to be) 
            and feel free to join in. Even if it is to just say "Hi!" 
           
           
          All welcome & stay safe!
