# Goal, be able to boot to PopOS again | |
# PROBLEM: This system (ROG GS733QSA) is nuts. | |
It only boots into PopOS-21.10. Also, the UEFI entries were just reset apparently because it booted to Windows. | |
This caused: | |
- PopOs UEFI entries to disappear | |
- Bios sound-on-boot to come back (even though it was deactivated). | |
# NOTES: | |
The sound has to be deactivated in BIOS via a user app (Windows Crate, or asus-linux apps). | |
This is because this Bios has been stripped of virtually all user switches (e.g. for virtualization, GPU control, etc). |

Goal: Record what was done after initial setup of PopOS-21.10 on the laptop. | |
Background: | |
- Prior setup steps are here: | |
- https://gist.github.com/pwyoung/e5bf9e41e166cb89ad63b6e7782ce311 | |
Problems: | |
- WIFI flakiness. | |
- Supposedly this wifi chip flakes out on Windows too. But here's the observed behaviour. | |

GOAL: Be able to utilize Asus Rog G733QSA "properly": | |
- without fear of getting "stuck" at a black screen | |
- with the ability to use an external monitor or the internal monitor | |
- without fear that my stack is running relatively unsecured/ungoverned and/or very old code. | |
- ideally, with the ability to run Windows via QEMU and VFIO | |
CURRENT PAIN POINTS: | |
- Booting to almost all Linux Live USB distros results in a black screen. | |
PopOS21.10 is the only exception (details below). | |
- Sometimes booting results in a black screen. |

# Goal: Follow asus-linix Fedora docs as much as possible to get a system working properly | |
https://asus-linux.org/wiki/fedora-guide/ | |
Notes: | |
- Before installation, it was confirmed that the iGPU was in "auto" mode in Windows in the Crate software. | |
- Due to behviour of this laptop (G733QSA), I can not follow the instructions to not use an external monitor (at all times anyway). | |
https://asus-linux.org/wiki/fedora-guide/#use-the-laptop-screen | |
There are two cases where booting to a black screen seemed inevitable until I added the second monitor | |
- The Fedora-34-workstation-spin live usb boots to a black screen when using only the laptop's screen. |

# goal: Figure out how to run a command (e.g. xrandr) as GDM starts | |
# Specifically, I am hitting a situation as described here: | |
# - https://asus-linux.org/faq/#why-did-nvidia-mode-give-me-black-screen-with-xorg | |
# "there are many ways to do this so you will need to search for the right way for your login manager." | |
# The problem is that on GDM, on Fedora, this seems to not be supported. | |
