Should you choose to accept any fresh installation suggestion by doing another, consider removing the sound card from its slot, or disabling the motherboard's sound device in BIOS setup, whichever is applicable, before beginning installation, as a possible thwart to the Gnome must have everything paradigm, if blocking Gnome entirely is unacceptable. That might be useful advice, but the sound card is not readily removable, its built into this asus motherboard. An Asus PRIME Z370-A II. As a side note to installation: as soon as a fresh installation seems suitably complete, but before adding any additional software, create a compressed / filesystem partition backup image to facilitate any need for a consequent do-over. gene heskett composed on 2024-06-05 17:08 (UTC-0400): So this is the umptieth time I've asked how to fix it, and got recipes for re-installing the basic system as an answer. Mike gave me instructs to run a couple commands, once normally, once while it was hung but the 2nd comnnand I fed to wc -l and got almost 300k lines. Difficult to do in real time because the command itself is subject to the lockout lag. Answering a help request like this one is a toughie. It's commonly necessary to reproduce both hardware configuration and software configuration in order to try to address the problem. That can be quite complicated, and time consumptive. Here it seems we may have a shortage from both helper and helpee, not necessarily a fault of either, but a puzzle with missing pieces, in addition to some pieces that don't belong to the puzzle (history tomes; not being concise). Could it also be that we have too many cooks in the kitchen here too? Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
