while pointed out in another forum thread, the suggested reading is definitely informative and sharable.

here is a direct link to the suggested reading(in case the original post changes):
#353 Re: Installation » how restore default permissions root folder after copy OS to SSD? » 2024-08-21 08:43:02
have used clonezilla and partedmagic for many years with much success
clonezilla is free
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clonezilla
partedmagic is more "full-service" and well-worth their minimal charge(imho)

#355 Re: Installation » how restore default permissions root folder after copy OS to SSD? » 2024-08-20 11:09:47
copying _anything_ in an incorrect way has the potential to alter ownerships and/or permissions
(hard to check 1000's of files/folders for complete correctness)
hopefully your original is _still_ intact and completely correct
unless you can verify the complete correctness of any/all copies you should consider them _not_authentic_duplicates_
(especially and specifically with respect to ownerships and permissions)
also, just to clarify, a backup isn't a backup if it is just on a different partition of the same physical device
operations on the underlying formating/partitioning of any/all storage devices should be considered totally destructive of _all_data_ on that device
keep us posted on your progress!

the semicolon “;” at start of the line acts like a comment tag
you need to delete the semicolon or the setting is ignored

without knowing the history of the machine and components one can only speculate.
what other operating system(s) have you had complete successful operation(s) with?
perhaps a stick of ram is going bad, or random hdd/ssd glitches, have had brand new equipment that wasn't functioning properly and have corrected the proper operation by unplugging and replugging cables/cards/drives/etc.
as always, your mileage may vary and some procedures may void some warranties.

it is possible that your backlight either has failed or isn't turning on.
have experienced that with several laptops over the years.
your description of "screen goes from black to dark gray" supports this hypothesis.
it might be possible to shine a light source at the screen to read and navigate the menus/selections/etc.
we used flashlights but other concentrated/directed illumination might work also.
if it is a backlight failure then using an external monitor might be an answer depending on your particular usage.
keep us posted on your progress!

did you install/reinstall seatd as per ralph.ronnquist (and logout/login)? updates sometimes cause permission issues.

i'm ok with stargate or sg1 or sgc and even cheyenne mountain might work.
on jeopardy it is typical for the contestants to use _keywords_(less than the exact, whole category name) to denote categories and will often say "16" to mean the $1600 choice/selection. ken is always the gracious host for sure. babble reminded of Babylon_5 which was another fun show.

for a "clear decision" you'll need to ask @golinux, who was the one who started the "rrq" here:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=51303#p51303
Yes, I remember rrq's objection to your unclickable links and I likely said something at some point also. I also understand your logic.
...
at one time, iirc, rrq removed the truncated live link function so links printed in their entirety.

as per rrq in this previous post:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=48861#p48861
...In that spirit, the h-chopping is ideal.
however, this looks interesting as well(from same rrq post):
5. e.g. https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:manual:reference_installation is that link likewise split and used as both link and as high-light text after an initial space:
[url=https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:manual:reference_installation] https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:manual:reference_installation[/url](without initial space in the highlight, the forum renderer reduces it to option 3)
tl;dr: all hail the forum renderer(sigh...it always comes down to the rendering in the final analysis)
