  • Yeah thank you, I really hope we‘ll get some progress.

    (Not doing it on purpose, it‘s just how kbin behaves 😅 really thinking about dropping it and give lemmy a try. Originally decided for kbin because I wanted both worlds but since the behaviour is so strange …yeah 😉)

  • @lemmyreader
    Thank you for the suggestion, I really do appreciate anyone who could have a clue what could go wrong and takes the time trying to help me out.

    Yeah, Ventoy is the latest I had to burn the ISOs on the USB and stayed with it since :)

  • @rufus
    Alright, will try later and report back the outcome / pastebin if I can grab it

  • @lemmyreader

    tried just right now. I get „booting a command list“ and nothing more, stays like that and USB Devices seem to be off.

  • @rufus

    I‘m afraid that it‘s where it will fail, cause I can‘t get it to work with acpi on

    I thought of getting the „bad installed“ (acpi=off) OS, let it start with acpi on and afterwards grab the logs again with acpi off, but don‘t know if that will work…

  • @rufus

    I will try and report back if I can get the dmesg output. But since I guess that the USB gets cut off right before something happens I guess there simply isn‘t.

    Will try with the installed Nobara and see, if dmesg catches anything up at all

  • @rufus

    thanks for taking the time. I already asked over at the asus-linux discord about the issue but got no reactions up until now.

    Turn off Safe Boot and features that inhibit booting other operating systems and USB media in your BIOS.

    did already, unfortunately not working

    Get the installer running. Try the failsafe and fallback video mode options.

    all installers (except nobara) do fail when trying to get the bootloader installed, since efibootmgr seems to be in need of the acpi options and I don't get it running with acpi option on.

    Tackle one problem at a time. Google it. Add your hardware in question (“Asus Strix G15”) and error message or exact issue (“black screen”) to your query.

    that's exactly what I'm trying to do, first and most important (from my understanding) would be to get the OS booted from the USB with acpi on. I am going through google/DDG/qwant/whatever-search-engine to look it up and tried everything I was able to find in relation to my Hardware, but wasn't able to tackle the issue up until now, that's why I'm asking for help all over the reddits/lemmys/kbins/discords...

    I can get Nobara - and only Nobara - installed so I can boot without USB, but there as well only with acpi off.

    I tried with Fedora, Nobara, ubuntu LTS, pop!os, GarudaOS, silverblue, Mint, with everyone having the issue not being able to boot without acpi=off and getting to a black screen and USBs (seem) powered off right after choosing the OS in grub.

    appreciate your time replying, thank you.

    it's not a laptop, it's a desktop.
    Yes, I did download the -nvidia versions, didn't do the trick and daily run it with acpi=off is no option since many things don't work anyways with that setting

  • @anamethatisnt
    Thanks for helping out, kbin kind of doesn‘t have the option but the functionality 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Everything makes sense to me now. I’m a privacy guru. How to move on? What’s the next step? 😁

    Teach.

  • idk about Skiff, but Proton also tells to e2ee mails to/from outside if they‘re using PGP…

  • D‘you have any source for that? Sounds kinda way too good somehow for me ^^

  • Didn‘t knew that exists, awesome. Checking it out for sure :)

  • wish I could upvote this more than just once

  • agreed on that, but I think, before that would be, don't try to threaten ppl on the internet and don't expect to be anonymous by just using a private service. I mean, the mail might be encrypted, but the recipient gets it, can read it and can show it to anyone else.
    still: private ≠ anonymous

  • let me quote from reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/15luwua/comment/jvd0fz9/?utmsource=share&utmmedium=web2x&context=3):

    The article doesn't link the original court filing or discuss what actually happened, and from the title alone, is rather misleading.

    The actual warrant can be found here and has the important missing details: https://drive.proton.me/urls/57QC5F26BW#nseYl6ICaQHm

    The only data we could provide (in response to a binding Swiss legal order), was the user's recovery email address, which the user added himself, and is optional to begin with.

    Unfortunately, said user also used that recovery address to create a Twitter account, and Twitter turned over his phone number and IP address. So probably not the smartest move if you want to threaten public officials.

    Coincidentally, this case again proves that Proton Mail's encryption cannot be bypassed by law enforcement.

  • You had to dig deep to get a news from 2021. and still, private doesn‘t mean anonymous, idk why everyone relates the both.
    And still, no news here, Proton explained this case several times and they‘ve been pretty transparent.
