It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password.

No, I just duckduckwent “Hacker Cat” and nabbed the pic where the cat had the smuggest look on her face.
My own cat made sure to dispose of all incriminating evidence.
I did not take this picture. I just nabbed the smuggest-looking cat-on-a-keyboard I could find.
But your questioning of my cat’s software testing experience has made her very upset.
I’m on debian 11, this error doesn’t show up every time, but once it appear I need more that one reboot and it will fix automatically without doing nothing, don’t know the reason why (just read that can be kernel dependent). What I want to avoid is that maybe it’s just a warning of somethink that will cause a pc break in...
I think the newer kernel should work after reinstallation.
If it doesn’t and you want to stay with the older one:
apt list --installed linux-image*
There should be a package with a specific version number in its name. For example, the standard kernel for Debian 11 is: linux-image-5.10.0-26-amd64
Uninstall the linux-image-… package you don’t want to keep.
Also uninstall linux-image-amd64 which is the meta-package that pulls in the newest kernel version. Without it, you won’t get new kernel versions in upgrades.
In the grub menu, choose advanced options and then choose an older kernel to boot into.
If that boots fine, remove and reinstall the newest installed kernel and run sudo update-grub.
That should be the easiest way to fix the most possible causes of this error.
Edit: Now would be a very good time to back up all your data to an external drive. This might be a sign of your hard drive failing.
By default, your grub menu should show up every time you boot.
If it doesn’t, boot your PC and do: sudo nano /etc/default/grub
You need these lines: GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
Every line starting with: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT
should be commented out like so: #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT
Then run sudo update-grub and reboot.
What this does:
sets a countdown of 10 seconds before grub boots the kernel
tells grub to show the boot menu during that countdown
doesn’t use a hidden countdown that waits for a button press to show the menu
In the grub menu, select advanced options and there you should be able to select an older kernel to boot.
I wouldn’t assume a failing disk either.
But every time there’s an error you can’t pin on something you just did, a full backup should be the first thing you do as a matter of principle.
If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....
Granted, I’m not a big AAA gamer. But out of 60 games in my collection, I couldn’t get 2 of them to run (Rocksmith and GTA Vice City), and for 2 others (Gothic I,II) I had to tweak some settings.
Which isn’t a worse ratio than what I was used to from Windows.
Thanks. I tried both, and Shotcut was the one where I actually understood how to import, edit and export a video without consulting the manual, so I’m going with that.
Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind if I need to do more.
Currently, I just have a 5 minute clip that needs cutting, stabilizing and some color correction, and Shotcut let me do that without tutorials or manuals.
They are all true but the 3rd one is pretty serious... (lemmy.ca)
