@zapper, golinux modification was only to add some text to the original post(no deletions iirc)
======================
Note that this response is not only incredibly stupid but off-topic and way out-of-line. stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn . . . you can do better than this.
humor and/or "lack" of it, is a contentious/deep/wide subject/topic(and varies widely depending on a vast multitude of conditionals)
for one example consider the contributions of:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquis_de_Sade
anywho/nevertheless/andallthatjazz...
even the OT of the OP is such a deep subject that it is almost defies logical rational reasoned thought.

agreed. so where to go from here?

@yeti and all, we are already in the "off-topic" area and discussing "architecture(s)" IS what we are already doing.
so i see no reason not to cross-post(yeti-again, pun intended!):

https://archive.fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/rv_selfhosting_all_the_way_down/
we/us users/developers/engineers/etc. are all in this together and as long as there are people willing AND hardware available...and the two have access to each other(physical people AND physical hardware, no qemu please) then we will continue to see some antique architecture software availability.
wonder what architecture and operating system Voyager is using?
amazing.

re: corsiar voyager GTX 128GB
this doesn't reference your specific model/version but i wonder if corsair support is still so lacking?
https://forum.corsair.com/forums/topic/29621-voyager-bootable-linux/
sidenote: in the early days of thumbdrives we came across some that had "special" drivers and software on them as well as an autorun function(windows executable) that would automatically install "drivers" and offer to install and set-up some sort of encryption capability that may or may-not have been just for these brand/make/model/version of thumbdrives(too long ago to remember exactly). also, back in those days there were questions regarding alignment/block-size/erasing/formatting/secure-deletion/trimming/etc...sigh...
i would like to know exactly what corsair has to say for themselves and a product that doesn't perform the same as _virtually_any_and_every_other_external_storage_media_ so please keep us informed(even if you just return it for a refund/exchange/etc).

guessing by now you've come across this webpage but just in case you haven't:
https://support.dynabook.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=4015505
were you able to determine if the functionality you desire was operational in the units original operating system?
do you need a brighter or dimmer screen and/or is the adjustment more for power conservation efforts?
keep us posted.
#158 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] cannot boot netinstall iso » 2025-01-02 09:28:46
have you tried other *nix liveusb distros on that setup? if you have definitively established that a certain hardware combination fails then it would be valuable to know the specifics of your assembly(make/model/version/firmware/etc).
#159 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Sources.list hates me! » 2025-01-01 06:32:36
i seem to remember using "sudo gedit" for some files that required elevated privileges to save edits.
then i came across a commentary saying never to use plain "sudo" for gui applications but use "gksudo gedit" instead.
that was many years ago and i don't remember the exact scenario/situation but in those days when something went borked i just did a fresh install and carried on(simpler times...ha!)
#160 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Vuu-do 5.03 (daedalus) New: with more legacy-firmware support » 2025-01-01 06:08:02
doing a topic-only search for "vuu-do" shows eight different threads.
but only one of them has the vast majority of posts(same as i referred to earlier).
just continue posting to that one well-known, well-used, thread(hopefully for years to come)...ha!
i have not looked at all the _other_ _lesser_ threads so don't know how easy it would be to combine them or incorporate them into the preferred thread.
as always, your mileage may vary.

according to this, q4os-setup.sh puts a q4os system "on_top_of" whatever _debian_distro_ is "under" it?

music CDs and video DVDs are making a comeback and can easily be found at resale shops offline/online/etc.
perhaps the bigger issue is keeping those simple players operational

imhho, there would be nothing wrong with having just one thread for Vuu-do(same for other derivatives as well)
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=766
and since this one is the most popular with almost 100K views it is the best candidate for rolling other threads into(if that is even possible...don't know...just thinking out loud)

...
It's like elementary school kids are doing everything these days, whatever they see on cartoons and anime`, they feel the need to include that bizarre crap in computer operating systems. The themes and icons are just beyond stupid. Nobody bothers to think of whether they should do a given thing , they just do mindless crap because they can.

https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/article/ART172299
After you have connected the fax machine to your telephone line, you can now test to see if it is ready to send and receive faxes.
Here’s how:
Program your full 10-digit fax number into your fax machine.
Send a test fax to 1-855-FX-CANON (1-855-392-2666).
Once our service receives your fax, a test page will be sent back to the fax number programmed into your machine.
This process generally takes 2 to 3 minutes.

RedGreen925 wrote "set the bios time to UTC" because that is what most *nix distros expect.
your reply was confusing
That must be a feature of newer BIOS/UEFI systems. This Laptop has a BIOS from 2006.
you will need to set your bios time to UTC for the operating system to display the correct time without additional fiddling.

this was one of around a half-dozen results:

@greenjeans,
very much agree with your observations and sentiments. it gets continually worse(and i don't foresee it ever getting better). i am actively searching for a completely different approach that _does_not_need_or_rely_on_anything_alphabet_apple_microsoft_redhat_etc_
any ideas from your end?

thinking about your project i visited:

and more specifically this particular subpage:
perhaps the wealth of documentation there might be of assistance.
