TBH ive always wanted to dress up like that and spook the shit out of the town I live in…
In a few states it’s a law but mostly it’s a suggestion and at worse you’ll get kicked out. I know New York has a law and maybe California.
Does this give you any increased sense of security as a non-american?
I agree that it’s not a big deal, but there still should be an option in my opinion. It can be a lifesaver to be able to search on older devices.
Yeah I’ll plug it into my computer and edit the grub settings. Terrible that the USB drive just doesn’t boot with an SSD inside, even though I manually selected the USB from the boot menu. That made me break my water seal and this device lost its IP rating 🙃. Thanks very much for your help however, your affirmation about the unplugging the SSD was was very helpful.
That didn’t work either but I solved it by removing the ssd.
It works without an SSD!!! OMG I knew it wasn’t bricked
A USB keyboard works fine, and also the USB drive is detected when it is bootable. Only one USB port but the tablet supports pxe boot. Do you think I could get mileage off of that if I set up a server on my other laptop and connected them via ethernet? I can flash the drives with dd
and they show up when plugged in. I also tested that they can boot on my laptop which they can.
No, I just wanted a durable tablet and getacs computers were used by my local law enforcement agency.
I can’t speak to the boot order because ive always used the boot menu to select manually what I want to boot, to be cautious, but I have tried shifting it and that didn’t help.
Do you think that removing the ssd will help? I can’t see a way it will, but I might as well give it a shot because its my last chance really.
I cannot see grub at all.
ChatGPT summary:
The user is experiencing a frustrating issue after installing Debian on a Getac F110-G2 tablet, which originally came with Windows 10. Although the installation seemed to work initially, rebooting led to a black screen, and attempts to reinstall from USB have failed. They've tried various troubleshooting steps, including disabling TPM and secure boot, switching between UEFI and Legacy modes, and using different USB sticks and displays. The tablet appears to be soft-bricked. The user is considering reinstalling the SSD in a PC to wipe it clean and attempt to reinstall Debian.
The mystery is why even windows won’t boot now. I might tell getac about this and ask for help, unfortunately this isn’t under warranty so I won’t be getting a replacement.
I’m going to re-install windows to make sure the tablet is functional, and then repeat the process. The weird part is any live linux usb doesn’t work either. It is a strange issue, thanks for your help.
No, I have reset to default settings though.
I note that no boot options show up when I select 8.1/10, but my “Legacy Hard Drive” and “Legacy BEV” show up when I enable legacy boot. Do you think that a legacy only install could cause this?
There is no option for toggling secure boot, which is making me think that it’s stuck on. I have disabled TPM and let it sit for a bit but nothing pops up on the screen except the regular startup screen.
I have tried to use my tv but it showed a black screen as well, the bios shows up and works fine so I’d imagine its not hardware related.
Not a podcast but I enjoy watching 20v1s on youtube.
