Jul. 27th, 2017 09:23 pmSeveral job things progressing through the pipeline.
Trying to set up a new desktop computer; installing linux and of course encountering an expected amount of unexpected trouble. Once I switched from trying to install ubuntu to installing plain old debian it actually told me what network card firmware blobs were missing instead of being all "bluh I dunno man I tried to DHCP and got nothin'". And then I had to convince it it didn't have two monitors, and hey, why not put the GDM login on the monitor that isn't real, that sounds like a good idea.
