Is simply turning off hibernation and suspend an option? I never use either. Blank the screen with the screensaver, optionally have the monitor(s) turn off (some do this automatically with no input), optionally have the session password locked, optionally log out and turn the monitors off...

BTW, that doesn't mean one command. A trivial example:: alias x='cd && clear' Goes home and clears the screen in one keystroke. You can do conditional stuff on one line, like: alias blockid='if test "$EUID" = 0 ; then /sbin/blkid ; else su - -c "/sbin/blkid" ; fi' This one line alias...

Anything that takes multiple lines -> scripts. They are in ~/bin although not binary, since in my distro ~/bin is empty and already in my $PATH. Aliases are one-liners, whether a function or not, in .bashrc

For me it was openSUSE. 20 years ago. I still play with other distros in VMs. Four others at the moment.

Yeah, except the order of those lines should be: echo Please wait for sync.... sync echo Finished. of course.

I always add a couple lines at the end of any rsync backup script: sync echo Please wait for sync... echo Finished. Required for USB but useful, too, for platter spinners. Backup is pretty much all I use spinning media for these days.

Re: Sound card not detected I think I have a similar problem. I have no sound at all from an ALC887 on an ASUS mobo with an AMD 5700G. What is your CPU?

Skype is a division of Microsoft. I would forget about not being tracked. It is guaranteed.

Just to be very clear, there are no cards in this machine. The Realtek is on the motherboard, while the AMD/ATI is in the 5700G CPU. Not that it matters. openSuSE Leap 15.5 is using a 5.14.x version of the kernel. I could install Tumbleweed (maybe the Slowroll variant). In fact, let me fire...

osprey, thank you for staying interested in this problem. In light of this: mad_hatter@rabbit_hole:~> aplay -l aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found... do you think it worthwhile to try any of your suggestions? The business with alsa-base.conf in /etc/modprobe.d I had already tried on...

No, it doesn't. I think that is the same as in #3 where I tried: pulseaudio --kill pulseaudio --start

I had visited that page earlier. I didn't expect it to work: 1) The original post is 14 years old, although there was followup. Hopefully since then that particular problem has been addressed. 2) The directory mentioned in opensuse leap 15.5 does not contain a file named alsa-base.conf, nor...

New machine, not quite finished yet. Picture is Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home, Taliesin West in Scottsdale, AZ.
