Thanks for replying, everyone! This project is temporarily on hold; downloading and sha256sum-ming some different isos led me to discover that my main system has a RAM issue. 🤦

I just learned to not trust motherboards' automatic RAM voltage setting; only one of four sticks seems to be sensitive to the apparent undervoltage that it was running on.

Edit: I hope that whoever designed the style of RAM slot that has a latch on only one side stubs their toe every day for the rest of their life.

The only distro I can find that successfully configures a functioning bootable GRUB on this (bastard) machine is Nobara, which looks very cool but is way too heavy! Some things are glitchy; attempting tab completion seems to freeze Konsole for ~5 seconds and does not complete the command as expected. We're working with an Intel Atom [email protected] and 2GB RAM here.

How can a noob figure out what it's doing differently so I can apply that to Linux Mint Debian Edition or Crunchbang Plus Plus?

The weird thing is that once the system is installed, it does not seem to have what I think are the required packages for GRUB to be set up correctly with this type of UEFI.

nextbook@nextbook:~$ sudo grub2-install /dev/mmcblk

grub2-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.

If you uninstall (or disable) Google Photos, that button should ask what app you want to open.

Try some non-Razer input devices. I've seen multiple systems act strangely because of them, although the usual problem is that the system won't POST with the offending device plugged in... Unplug, boot system, plug in, and it works fine (until it's time to reboot or power-cycle).

I'm using Jerboa, and can no longer interact as of a week ago; "This account is being verified."

Edit: Now we are up and running again. 🤔

I wonder if your K400 is defective. I have the old black & white K400r (refurbished?) and the batteries last for many months even when I forget to switch it off.

I was servicing an arcade game room at a campground, and had a Cruis'n USA in which the picture looked a bit dim. I take the back panel off of the game, and see a 2cm hole burned through the Sharp Image monitor's chassis (circuit board) where there presumably used to be a resistor. It was still working, nobody complained about smoke or a smell?!
