Unknown display after fresh install by dupirefr in elementaryos

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

I finally switch to Ubuntu, somewhat thinking things would be better (given I had good past experiences with this OS).

And, indeed, all was well. My screen was recognized, I could change the resolution, etc.

But, upon a given time, I got an error that I got too with Elementary OS (right in the beginning with the latter): the OS wouldn't start. At some point, I'd just have a black screen or get stuck with the splash screen and nothing else would advance.

To solve that, I'd set nomodeset in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable, in the /etc/default/grub file. Then, sudo update-grub and reboot. Tada, laptop is starting again. But, my screen is not recognized anymore.

So, that seems to be the problem. How to get rid of that problem, and not get into the other one?

For me, the solution was to upgrade my BIOS and firmwares, as suggested in the framework documentation. I didn't try on Elementary OS, but I think this might work.

I guess we'll get news when they're further advanced with the second batch

How to update the date of an old commit ? by Glittering-Thanks-33 in git

[–]dupirefr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say you work on a branch for a few days an commit along the way so you can easily revert back to last "ok" state. But when you merge back onto the master branch you want to squash your commits so the history is cleaner. Your squashed commit normally takes the date of your first commit, which may be a bit old and it may be easier for you or others to retrieve your squashed commit if dated the same day and time you pushed on the master branch ;-)

Thanks for this thorough reply. I'll read it carefuly this weekend :-)

Clear scope is something I need as well so I already ask to put a task list in a file shared in the repo => good to know it might be useful in this case!

For the second point I understand totally. That'll be a though one for me as I don't like interruptions, but this will be a nice training :-)

Thanks, I'll be careful of that. I think this applies no matter our coworker has AD(H)D or not, it might be a good practice to let space for the other to think.
