Yeah, diarrhoea is a such a thing.

Aaaah! Now I get it :p sorry it’s been a long life.

I don’t get it ?

Well you gave me no choice haha

I’m no forensic image analyzer, but to me what you encircle looks more like the hinge and whatever is behind the fence.

If you look at the tip of the tail of your dog, it seems to high to be what you marked.

I don’t think so. Nothing of your dog seem to be crossing the fence post and on the new picture, from a narrower angle, the furniture align neatly with the fence post.

So everything not crossing the line between the fence post and the furniture wouldn’t be in view.

Does that make sense ? It’s a bit hard to explain what I mean haha

Why the picture changed I have no idea.

He’s behind the furniture.

Yeah okay, it did look a little weird to be Spanish.

Wait. Is that A History of World Societies in Spanish ?

Computer go bip bop.

Yeah it’s definitely not an elegant solution, but it works for now. But I think I will fix it properly at some point, now that I know what the problem is.

You were absolutely correct. It was the ribbon cable. But the fault was so small I couldn’t see it with my aging eyes. But under magnification it was quite clear.

I am also coming to that conclusion. Which sucks because I have to take out the screen to replace it.

And yes. I’m sure I bought the right one :) I didn’t mention it in the original post, but I was aware of the different models and revisions.

Yes the speakers still work. And I can change the volume both in Big Picture mode and Desktop mode with the slider.

I don’t really know what to do in alsamixer to test/change volume input.

xev also doesn’t give any output when pressing the volume buttons.

Don’t worry. You can just as easily wreck your Mint install as any other distro, as soon as you start to poke around.

Why no Gentoo :( ?

But why would 500 prompts be annoying to you ?

Make an alias in .bashrc (or equivalent) so that rm always have the -i flag to prompt for “you really wanna do it !?”.

I like well ordered man pages.

Gee! I hope it works this time!
