**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jun 13 02:59:57 2020 Jun 13 15:25:01 okay wtf Jun 13 15:25:26 my cosmo just decided to reboot spontaneously and now it's just got a blank screen and it vibrates periodically Jun 13 15:25:51 it's blinking a yellow status LED that flickers red for an instant before it turns off Jun 13 15:26:02 how do I force reboot this thing Jun 13 15:26:57 WTF Jun 13 15:27:02 now the flashlight just turned on Jun 13 15:28:37 Is there a way to boot debian in text mode ? Jun 13 15:38:36 I think the cover display (cracked, nonfunctional) is spazzing out even though it's supposed to be off Jun 13 15:38:49 that would also explain the random toggling of things and the shit battery life Jun 13 15:39:02 it's alive after unscrewing the whole thing and pulling the battery Jun 13 15:39:25 kind of ridiculous there's no way to cut the power without 15 minutes and an eyeglass screwdriver Jun 13 15:45:48 oh typical, just as I get it assembled it does it again Jun 13 16:06:08 welp Jun 13 16:06:10 broken cosmo Jun 13 16:06:12 now what Jun 13 16:43:38 RMA Jun 13 16:48:21 okay, disconnected the touchscreen from the cover display Jun 13 16:48:24 (I think) Jun 13 16:48:30 let's see how long it stays up this time Jun 13 17:26:45 I may have fixed it Jun 13 18:33:37 What do you suppose the odds are of getting Planet to ship me a new cover display? Jun 13 18:51:05 Any comment anybody? Jun 13 18:58:42 minaramses[m]: what do you mean "in text mode" Jun 13 18:59:49 I imagine you could do something like systemctl disable gdm Jun 13 19:00:46 I don't know how Debian is set up on cosmo/gemini Jun 13 19:00:58 do you see text when you boot? Jun 13 22:14:59 Not which of this is supported in Gemini pda , https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/01/how-to-boot-to-console-text-mode-in.html **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jun 14 02:59:57 2020
