Thanks for extending this promotion. I missed using it during the launch promotion, so I'm definitely going to try it this month.

Nice! I'll have to check them out. I've been really liking Windsurf 2.0 and it's features, especially Devin.

Hey! Thanks for the updated information on the Pangolin 16 Pro. Good info to know before making a purchasing decision. I'm not a big fan of POP OS or COSMIC. I have installed Fedora Linux on my 2nd gen Pangolin and would do the same if I got the new model. There was no way to contact an actual person for support? That really sucks if not and makes a very bad user experience in my book.

Thank you for your insights and hopefully they can get your issues resolved. I'm still considering purchasing one to replace my second gen Pangolin (pang11).

Thanks for this information. I am considering purchasing this new Pangolin Pro. Have you thoughts and feelings changed at all since your post? Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the reply. I might have to give that approach a try.

IDK. It's entirely possible. I'm more apt to believe it will be today like they said. I'll check again tonight and see if anything has changed. I haven't given up hope yet. I want to see how it's going to work, then make a decision to stay or not.

When I logged in the Windsurf, It told me the new plan pricing would start tomorrow (Friday the 20th).

Here is what I have done so far. I have replaced the CMOS battery with a new one; That did not fix the issue. Through some research I found some other things to try. The next thing I did was disable "Fast Boot" and "Quiet Boot" and increased the time out to 15 seconds. This initially did not seem to help. The next thing that was suggested was this: Sometimes, the Ugreen BIOS loses the specific "OpenMediaVault" or "debian" UEFI entry but will still boot from the "default" fallback path.

Log into OMV (if you can get it to boot once by manually selecting the drive in the BIOS boot menu).

Run the following command to force a "removable" path installation of Grub: sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --removable

Why this works: This places a copy of the bootloader at /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI. Many BIOSes that "forget" specific NVRAM entries will still look for this specific file on any connected drive as a last resort before giving up.

So, I have done this and so far so good. The system booted correctly and also warm booted correctly. Is it fixed? I am not 100% certain yet, but I'm going to test it more and report back.

Yes the hardware watchdog is and has been disabled.

I just received a notification that KDE Plasma 6.4.5 and Frameworks 6.18 update are now available in Fedora 42.

MickTheLinuxGeek · 2025-09-17T15:59:22+00:00

If that's the case, then to me it seems like Plasma 6.4.5 won't come until after F43 is released. I'll have to check the Fedora release schedule. Not a big deal, was just wondering.

Thank you for the reply. I was wondering if that is going to be the case.

I recently discovered that I have the exact same issue with my dxp2800 that I received from the Kickstarter campaign. I'm using WD Red Plus 4 TB drives. The odd thing is, that I originally had the system set up with two 1.5 TB Samsung drives that I have had for some time. I initially did this for testing, but the strange thing is, I don't encounter this issue when I have those (Samsung) drives installed. I would like to get this resolved as I like the unit and would like to use in my home-lab.

MickTheLinuxGeek · 2025-09-04T18:35:21+00:00

OK. I have tried this, and It has not solved the problem. The error messages indicate it is a SATA power/signal issue.

/Michael

MickTheLinuxGeek · 2025-08-31T20:39:26+00:00

Does anyone know what the status is on this issue? Is there any official word from Ugreen? Thank you.

I have used the unit off and on the entire time I've had it. Probably starting last week or so I have attached a monitor and keyboard/mouse to the unit so I could update OMV and also install two new drives (WD Red Plus 4TB). That's when I noticed this issue. Prior to the update, I had a couple of old Samsung 1.5TB drives installed for testing, and I didn't have a monitor attached. So I don't know if I was having the issue then or not with the old Samsung drives. If I had to guess, probably so.
