Especially the number of pop-ups of ads that the web has become. Surfing on those systems were a nightmare. Unfortunately, both are MS-Windows users and both use what are called as company-owned laptops. So first I tried asking couple of friends who live nearby me. I was dropping down on tty1 and attempting the same, no dice as root/superuser getting the barest x-term. I tried it number of times but it didn t work. is on dev/sda7 /boot is on /dev/sda6, /boot/efi is on /dev/sda2 and /home is on /dev/sda8 so theoretically, if /home for some reason doesn t work I should be able drop down on /dev/sda7, unmount /dev/sda8, run fsck and carry on with my work. That comes to the issue that happens once in a while where the system fsck is unable to repair /home and you need to use an external pen drive for the same. It s been 6-7 years so can t even ask customer service to fix the issue and from whatever discussions I have had with APC personnel, the only meaningful difference is to buy a new unit but even then not sure this is an issue that can be resolved, even with that. I had bought an APC unit several years for precisely this, but over period of time it just couldn t function and trips also when the electricity goes out. And more specifically HDD s are vulnerable. This affects software more than hardware or in some cases, both. Even some of the traffic lights don t work. A discussion with a lineman revealed that around 200+ families and businesses are on the same line and when for whatever reason the electricity goes for all. Not just me, all those who are on my line. For reasons known and unknown, I have a lot of sudden electricity outages. There is a bit of context that needs to be shared before I get to this and would be a long one.
