Thanks, this makes sense when you put it that way. And in fact I have an
update: as I was trying to figure out where interrupts might be, I set it
down and a screw fell out. It secures a corner of the bottom--and other
things, apparently. I screwed it back in tight and now my problem is
I'm using XFCE rather than MATE but XFCE's power manager has options for what
to do when the laptop lid is closed (Switch off dislay, Suspend, Hibernate,
Lock screen) for both plugged in and on-battery modes. None of these address

Hi everyone,
Somehow my laptop lid has become associated with power management, so that if
I push the lid further open, a log-out dialog pops up, or the laptop
instantly cuts power.
I'm not sure how this started. The only thing possibly related is that I
installed and ran powertop to
That's a thought. I sent an e-mail asking if there is anything I should
generally know (about booting process, partition plan) but didn't formally
ask for support. Maybe I will. Thanks.
Thanks. What does "-kccy" do?
On a related note, is it hard to make a bootable pen drive that has a
writable (persistent) partition? I found this:

and it worked for a "systemrescuecd" iso but Trisquel mini didn't
Hi Trisquelers, I would welcome some perspective and advice regarding an
apparently corrupted hard drive.
Last Christmas I gave my brother a laptop from MiniFree, with Trisquel
installed. Just days ago he told me he booted it and it went straight to a
busybox console. Reading up on this,
Fixed it, did some reading online and found that adding my user to the
lpadmin group was what was needed.
For the non-admin folks such as myself, that's
usermod -a -G lpadmin USER
as described here:

Done, thanks.
I had an install go awry but with this community's help managed to get it
back on the rails, as described in this thread:

Now I'm doing some cleanup and one issue I have is that I can't add a
I came across GID_MIN in documentation and thought that might be relevant but
decided to go ahead and try anyway.
I changed the group ID by "groupmod -g 500 jim", I think. No manual file
editing.
Success! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Just a few additional details for the benefit of anyone else who might be
following this path.
Ultimately I couldn't add the user with the specified group ID, so I created
the user without specifying the gid, and then changed the group ID.
Also,
Okay, all of your posts are very helpful and I now have GRUB installed and
can boot up. Now I need to fix the user ID issue so I can use the home
partition and log in. Which I think I can do once I have a shell with root
privileges.
When booting normally, I can't log into my (new) "jim"
Thank you! This is a lot of great information. I'll be giving all this a
try tomorrow.
I just installed Trisquel Mini on a laptop with sda1 as "/", sda6 as "/home",
and sda5 as swap. I intended to leave /home as is.
I actually did this twice; the first time I installed I didn't partition "/".
When booting, I got the Mageia grub page as before the install. So I
installed
Thanks for all the great suggestions. loldier's comment about trying a
different USB port made me realize that I had also had problems moving a file
with this port, so I tried a different port with Startup Disk Creator and it
worked smoothly. So it's just a wonky USB port.
Thanks again!
I'm using Trisquel 8.0 and trying to create a bootable USB with the Trisquel
mini ISO. I've used Startup Disc Creator but it gives an error, saying
"Could not write the disk image to the device".
Oddly it asks for authentication twice, saying policies prevent mounting.
I also tried the
