That’s definitely a frustrating situation you have, and I very much encourage you to take the path that feels most possible to you!
Before moving on, I would like to point to trying what u/mvirts suggested, disabling ACPI from the grub bootloader. It’s easy and great for getting an installer running and working, and sometimes the freshly installed and updated OS whisks the problem away.
But regardless of what you choose, I wish you much luck in your endeavours!
Agreed with others that this is likely a BIOS issue, and it would be good to check for a firmware update first.
In particular, this looks like it might be an issue with the USB port locations described by your BIOS ACPI. Maybe one of the embedded root hubs? You might be able to play with USB settings in the BIOS Config to see if that helps, especially loading default values. I also think it might be possible to blacklist ports from kernel parameters and that could be a good check… but I’m not very familiar with the parameters in recent years and didn’t find anything in a quick search.
As a last ditch, you can disable ACPI entirely, but it can/will cause very odd performance and configuration issues along with no power management. (This goes double for portable systems.)
All joking aside, I would like to point out that the main dish at Waffle House is hash browns. I just don’t want folks to be confused about such an important thing!
More accurately, “prior” is much less ambiguous than “last” and thus more likely to satisfy the predilections of a pedant.
Gosh I love the depth of pedantry available to descriptivists!
This feels like a Ryan Gosling reskin of a 3Blue1Brown video 😅 (which I guess really isn’t even a little surprising… But it’s a chance spread the good word of Mr. Sanderson!)
I believe it is Paper Cassette! And yes, I feel very old.
Oh, I had no idea Shortyz was forked, I’m so glad there’s a maintained version thank you!
Mustard makes many things great ☺️ But I might also try this mayo and cheese combination you speak of, thank you stranger!
Don’t forget the mustard! Do you cut your slices in half of just cut out a sliver (to prevent bowing/cupping)? And are you one of those folks that add cheese??
You are reminding me that I used to keep a copy of Nesticle (for DOS!) on an AOL floppy, along with a couple of ROMs. I saved the fancy Imation Disney disks for my data 😅
Thank you for the flashback!
But unfortunately you can’t start it again.
Yeah, my blood pressure meds are pressed tablets that start dissolving right away and are extremely bitter. Not antibiotics bitter (thank god!), but still extremely unpleasant.
