i can no longer recommend PartedMagic after discovering multiple reports of very poor customer service.

when we worked on used equipment, we were always amazed at the poor condition of some units and that they even continued to provide functional operations. a good visual inspection(preferably with magnification and sufficient illumination) may offer some clues. cabling and their plugs should also be inspected(and perhaps switched with other "known-good" components). batteries and power adapters can also create intermittent problems.
sometimes searching for others who are also having similar problems(with your specific hardware or otherwise) may give additional clues to pursue possible corrective actions.
good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

#237 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] deb.devuan.org doesn't respond » 2024-09-17 14:14:15
i keep my /etc/resolv.conf from being changed by forcing it with /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-dns-none.conf
here is the note to myself that i left in /etc/resolv.conf
# created file with sudo nano
# /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-dns-none.conf
# with contents:
# [main]
# dns=none
# then check with command:
# sudo NetworkManager --print-configand the only active line in /etc/resolv.conf is "nameserver 192.168.1.1"
i don't remember where i found out about that particular solution but this link might be helpful to future thread visitors:

as always, your mileage may vary

#239 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] safely remove xfce » 2024-09-05 08:48:25
searching the forum for "task-xfce-desktop" gives over a page of results.
adding "metapackage" narrows it down to three.
one of those three contained this threadpost by administrator fsmithred:

it should also be noted that there is a difference between using "purge" and "remove"

as long as you are adequately backed-up, you can always make alterations and see what happens(especially after a warm-restart and/or cold-boot)

minimal-live: A full-featured, console-based recovery tool with a focus on accessibility for visually-impaired and blind users. Uses the refractainstaller.
you will have better experience with:
desktop-live: Explore the default Xfce desktop before installing. Then install easily and quickly from the live session using the refractainstaller. Firmware is installed but can easily be removed.

have used clonezilla and partedmagic for many years with much success
clonezilla is free

partedmagic is more "full-service" and well-worth their minimal charge(imho)
