Re: noapi acpi=off

[zahid]

That was kinda easy. ...BUT

I found that .deb file at 
https://packages.debian.org/buster/all/firmware-misc-nonfree/download


I had the wifi pane up immediately with a list of networks.

I even rebooted. BUT

it says configuring interface but won't connect.

I am also having to connect using a usb 802.11n dongle to get the wifi  
with a list of wifi windows.


If I remove the  dongle the wifi  list disappears.

I bought the dongle to use for ubuntu 18-19 but don't need it for fedora 31.


could it be do with that error the bottom of of the error messages.

I had to install nividia package for windows 10 as well.

Download the package.  It will be a file whose name ends with ".deb".

Get this file onto the Debian computer, by any means.  Ethernet,

takes.

Install the package using "dpkg -i filename", as root.

Reboot.

Re: noapi acpi=off

[zahid]

Thank for your response,

I want to avoid using  "netinst with non-free firmware" because that 
would mean a reinstall again.


and I would have to install other software al over again.


So now I just want to

" to get this firmware package and install it  [ 
/lib/firmware/rt2870.bin firmware-misc-nonfree 
 ] "


what are the instructions I need to follow to do that.

I need to get use to install debian install package system anyway.


while waiting for your response

I was trying to follow these instructions and I am getting these errors

Awesome.  Knowing the exact filename of the firmware that you need
makes it *super* easy to identify the package that you need.

https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=rt2870.bin&mode=exactfilename&suite=stable&arch=any

tells us that you need the package named "firmware-misc-nonfree".

As the name implies, this package is in the non-free section of Debian,
which means it's not included in the official installer images.

It *is* included in the unofficial "netinst with non-free firmware"
images.  If you use one of those, your problems will all go away.

If you aren't using one of the unofficial installers, then you'll need
to get this firmware package and install it.  That can be done over
ethernet, temporary or otherwise, or by sneakernetting it on a USB

Re: noapi acpi=off

[Zahid Rahman]

Following your message.
I have just done a complete fresh in reinstall  of debian.
The installation processes removed the other two linux , fedora 31 and
suseopen.
I don't care about that I saved my data.
I have dual boot with windows 10.

At the moment I am running a wired connection.
Debian and  booting up and shutting down fine... shutdown is especially
fast.

During installation I got a prompt to install rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw
rt2870.bin from media.
I was installing  using net install so I skipped it.

There are some error messages during boot up which say failed to load firm
ware. . They flash quickly
and I don't know where the log file.

I recommend to use default settings. By disabling ACPI you'll only
cripple many internal hardware functions of your laptop.
If there is some problem with default settings (only "quiet" as kernel
parameter in grub), then disabling ACPI is not the solution.
You need to look further, check logs to find out what exactly causing
you trouble.
We can advise more, if you can send useful snippets of logs or other
information about your laptop here.
Also describe in detail what problem do you trying to solve by disabling
ACPI and changing kernel boot parameters?

Debian has almost every driver and firmware currently supported by
kernel, just like any other distro. What model and make of network
adapter you trying to use?
You can find out this information using "lspci -v".
It is possible you simply have to install some additional package from
Debian repos with non-free firmware for your network adapter.

Re: noapi acpi=off

So if you have  the latest version of debian and it is logging on and off
ok ,  what are  the acpi setting,  kernel parameters.

You can find this out by pressing 'e' when the grub screen is showing.

I should have taken note when I had debian installed.

Re: noapi acpi=off

[Zahid Rahman]

Thank you.

I have been getting same problem with ubuntu. I think these linux operating
systems has corrupted some Table on my laptop.

Although fedora has wifi driver , Debian does not.

Ubuntu did not have a wifi driver,  but later wifi driver came with a
software update.
But then ubuntu would only work,
 go to login screen in recovery mode due to this acpi issue.

So now I am using open suse.
That operating  system is compensating for the corrupted BIOS table and has
wifi driver.  For some reason open opensuse.org  is extremely fast compare
to all  linux operating system.

noapi acpi=off

[Zahid Rahman]

Hi,

The idea to introduce this acpi change  in the software updates across
linux platforms,
I  think was a very bad.

It has meant that   either I can't login or I am staring at a purple, or
black  blank screen depending on the linux flavour.
or the system is hanging  and won't  turn off.

Anyway I am currently able to login , but when I log off I have a black
screen but the laptop
doesn't actually power off.

I would appreciate if some one can tell me the precise kernel parameter
values so the laptop
will turm off and I promise to turn off  software updates after that.
FEDORA 31.
