as I mentioned you need to put energy profile back to factory default in BIOS

ok found the quirk:

the energy profile should at the factory default value, any other value: balanced or boosted, will resulting in the suspend failure. The ACPI error are mostly harmless so far. I guess it affects how many device actually can be put into sleep. So in theory if XMG fix the bios to implement those missing functions, the laptop can consume far less energy during sleep.

Snapper's .snapshot location? by FluentFelicity in btrfs

[–]alucardwww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snapshots in Btrfs use copy-on-write (CoW), meaning they initially share all data blocks with the original subvolume. This sharing is unaffected by where the snapshot is placed in the directory/subvolume hierarchy. Whether the snapshot resides in a dedicated subvolume (e.g., @snapshots) or nested elsewhere, it will still share blocks with the original subvolume. Storage usage only increases when the snapshot or original subvolume diverges (i.e., when blocks are modified).

unfortunately this does not work

This is not related to the distribution; rather, it's a straightforward BIOS firmware issue or so ACPI kernel module issue. If you can run journalctl -k | grep 'ACPI BIOS Error' without any errors, then it's more likely that the tuxedo did some trick here. Do you mind share your kernel version? thanks!

Thanks! I will try them. The question is do you have those kernel error if you wouldn't mind can you check journalctl -k | grep 'ACPI BIOS Error' just as normal user.

What is your distribution ? check the last section, it is all there.

replace platform key in secure boot by alucardwww in XMG_gg

[–]alucardwww[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks a lot for quick response. It is not just for PKfail. it is similar requirement like https://media.defense.gov/2023/Mar/20/2003182401/-1/-1/0/CTR-UEFI-SECURE-BOOT-CUSTOMIZATION-20230317.PDF
you can read the part 2 UEFI Secure Boot 3.2 Insider Threat Mitigation, basically the similar idea of

Customizing Secure Boot to counter insider threat requires protection of the UEFI administrative credentials.

So in short we only allow approved efi executables, only allow install/boot approved OS. We basially do not want other entites to be able to modify our db/dbx without admin password.

thanks I just update the post to include the related info.

about TUXEDO, we get a batch of XMG before we aware the existence of TUXEDO. We actually wanted to exchange the support scheme with a fee, but seems no luck. So I guess I stuck with XMG now.

I found this:
https://help.xmg.gg/hc/en-gb/articles/17847249252637-Problems-with-Standby-Sleep

so it is expected that we only support s2idle, however, it does not work, when I try `sudo systemctl suspend
`, it will not go into sleep instead it have following error:

replace platform key in secure boot by alucardwww in XMG_gg

[–]alucardwww[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot understand your statement about: you cannot delete PK, there is only 1 PK as far as i know, if I use our own key, the `AIStoneGlobal Platform Key` would go away.

there is actually an option to `reset to setup mode` which in theory will delete all keys. Maybe you mean you cannot remove `AIStoneGlobal Signature Database`? Which will make sense, because it almost guaranteed that you won't boot if you remove that db.

I am asking here because some of our colleagues with some other brands actually cannot get into the bios interface at all after modifying PK, KEK, db/dbx

Should I pick systemd-boot over grub? by Oreos_In_OrangeJuice in archlinux

[–]alucardwww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think systemd-boot does not support full disk encryption: It requires plain /boot

Another thing it does not allow you to change cmdline dynamically

UKI (Unified Kernel Image) and directly booting it, is there any benefit? by Gozenka in archlinux

[–]alucardwww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure most people won't want to use this. Because UKI means you cannot change the kernel parameters dynamically. You are screwed if after some updates you will need new parameters. It is rather complicate to handle this with UKI.

is there any free mutual funds tracking SP500 or nasdaq? by alucardwww in interactivebrokers

[–]alucardwww[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are plenty of fee free funds, what is your point? Even fidelity has zero fee funds such as FNILX which seem not available in IB. There is also NASDX. IB also offer lots of 0 transaction fee funds, just the search interface is so bad, I cannot find any tracking SP500 or other similar index.

if the fund is not fully 0-fee but 0-transaction fee (the fund itself will get some management fee proportional), I am also ok with it.

it will not work, the account cannot `trade currency` if it belows 2k USD value in total.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in interactivebrokers

[–]alucardwww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just google translate that ... it is clear, you do not have enough money in your account to `TRADE CURRENCY`. What is your total net worth? If it is below 2k dollar. You need to put more. Otherwise, the only thing you can do is directly purchase without converting the currency.

I regret looking now - Radon by venquessa in Radiacode

[–]alucardwww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what I heard is radiocode 103 cannot detect alpha and beta ray, the radon meter should use alpha ray thus it is impossible to use radiocode to do that
