It looks like there's a clutch of problems @Reverzed. Dealing with one problem at a time is probably the best way to go. I think you've established that dwm and firefox are okay. I'm reluctant to make suggestions that could mess around unpredictably to the system. Here are some thoughts...

Files can become damaged or put in disorder for a number of reasons including the main ones like: power failure, or any interruption to the system that occurs without the proper unmounting of filesystems; and, hardware faults, like problems with the moving parts or controller in rotating disks...

It's not looking good at the moment. You've probably eliminated a few possible causes though with your work. Now that you've mentioned the homebrew repos, I'm wondering about how they may be implicated. I cannot say though since I've only ever used homebrew on a Macbook some time ago using...

Different AI engines can produce different answers or responses which sometimes are complementary and sometimes quite different approaches to the issue of interest. This has happened here using ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity. On coding issues, different alternatives become available...

Looks like a few issues to untangle here. The dwm "fatal error" suggests an investigation of dwm ... as suggested in post #8, might be worth trying a patch-free dwm. The libva issues looks to be about video acceleration, so it may be worth having that turned off in firefox where the setting is...

No need for sorry ... it's an unusual problem so far as I can see. I wonder if the dwm patches are implicated. It may be worth trying to just build another dwm with no patches and see if that makes a difference. The dwm 6.5 here has no patches and receives focus immediately it's run. Just a...

Thanks for the video. The click doesn't get a blank screen, but rather a return to the login screen, but the problem is clear. Before I saw the video I wrote out a proposal to check firefox and dwm, which was the following: To check whether dwm or firefox is a problem, it may be worth trying...

The problem is a little unclear to me. Are you experiencing "Screen turns black" when clicking links in firefox when running dwm, but when running cinnamon, firefox runs properly? Normally the window manager, or desktop environment, will not alter the functioning of a web browser like firefox.

@truckerDave , perhaps try: ExecStart=/bin/bash -c /usr/doorbell.sh

The problem of outage of the linux.org website has been much greater than the claimed "overall uptime" of ~99.6%. That 99.6% would suggest that the website has only been down for around 6 minutes in a day, but that simply is not the case here where it's been down for as long as 10 minutes...

At Red Hat, they mention the following: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/managing_software_with_the_dnf_tool/index Old timers, perhaps :) , who were used to typing yum under the fingers, may still use it, but it's clearly no disadvantage in...

@wolly , perhaps have a look at this thread: https://linux.org/threads/how-to-change-laptop-power-management-from-powersave-to-performance.47469/#post-209971 In some distros cpufrequtils has been replaced by cpupower from the package: linux-cpupower.

Note that firmware and drivers are separate items, both of which are needed for the device to operate. For the intel wifi, the package: firmware-iwlwifi needs to be installed, as well as the iwlwifi driver which is in the kernel in this case. If a wifi driver isn't in the kernel, it has to be...

If Debian is the user's name, then you can, as root, amend the file: /etc/sudoers by adding: Debian ALL = (ALL: ALL) ALL That will give user Debian permission to execute any command. To alter the /etc/sudoers file one usually uses the "visudo" command, as root, whilst in the /etc directory...

To check the installed status of the linux images and linux headers and lynis, you can run commands like: dpkg -l | grep linux-image dpkg -l | grep linux-headers dpkg -l | grep lynis and if the output lines begin with ii, it means that according to the system, they have been successfully...

The problem appears to be that the kernel is trying to compile a module/driver for Anbox Android container, but the code that the kernel is trying to compile has problems, hence it throws an error, so the user is directed to: Consult /var/lib/dkms/anbox-binder/1/build/make.log for more...

That resulting output from the aplay command is rather decisive. If alsa can't see the sound card, the kernel can't do anything with audio. I should have included that investigation in post #5. What comes to mind is to upgrade the kernel to the latest possible one so that the system gets the...

Yes, it's safe to alter the BIOS/UEFI option to AHCI and indeed preferable if not running RAID. Before installing linux mint, it's also useful to disable fast boot, and secure boot in the BIOS/UEFI.
