It looks like this may be a lost cause :( I've been running this on the mains, but today forgot to switch on at the wall. The battery only lasted long enough for a brief flicker of the 'on' LED. Also I've now discovered some of the keys aren't working. Having said that, I do very much appreciate all the help you've given, and have learned a lot more about modern laptops! So, the next question is, can anyone suggest a reasonably inexpensive laptop that plays well with Linux? -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list -- linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to linux-audio-user-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
