probably related to this kernel bug though:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2059738

downgrading the kernel should fix it as a workaround it would seem.

the halt command is like a handbrake for the kernel, so it basically shuts everything down hard and stops, but it does not power off the system without you telling it to, so that is why your LEDs stayed on after you used the other parameter.

you could just try to downgrade/ upgrade the kernel, do s shutdown for a few hours during daytime when the computer is not beeing used, then turn it back on and check the percentage.

you will see the drain if it’s not a full night, but it might not be so drastic.

if it’s completely shut down there should be no loss in percentage, even for a short period of time as there probably is now…

I’ll try to think up another solution, but a bit busy today as I mentioned on the last post

Hi, a bit busy today so I can investigate some more later, but the problem you are describing is in many cases related to the kernel version and has been resolved by up or downgrading the kernel version.

it might be worth looking into, at least it’s a simple task, while I get some more time to investigate or offer more for you to look into.

great that it worked so far, at least now you know where the problem is :)

let’s hope it’s a software issue, in general it’s much cheaper to fix software than hardware 🙂

you can also try using the “sudo halt --poweroff” command.

if it ks software related. that command will force an instant shutdown ignoring all normal shutdown run levels (use with caution if you have open files that need to be saved in advance).

if that command succeeds as well after the battery test, you can be sure the problem lies within the shutdown run level scripts, which should help you narrow it down even more.

That’s true, but long press on the power button still works, so you can try that instead then? 🙂

does this happen if you force it to shut down by holding the power button for +10sec, or if you remove and reinsert the battery after power off?

forcing a shutdown or removing and installing the battery, will ensure that the laptop is indeed shut down and not just halting during the shutdown process.

if you still have the same issue after this test I would guess your battery is dying, but if not you know that the issue is a software and not a hardware problem…

anyway, best of luck getting it sorted

do you have any usb devices, like external hard drives, chargers or similar connected to it? a lot of the laptops allows for usb charging/supply of power even when switched off, and this could be one of the sources for the drainage.

try disconnecting all USB cables if any are connected and see if the problem disappears?

never mind, did not see the line about no connected usb cables until after posting

Er jo en hel Lemmy instans for Danmark her, så det finnes nok flere av osw, og ja, jeg er fra Norge 🙂

Håper det ordner seg når du får installert ny font når du har tid og anledning til det 🙂

no worries! 🙂

crossing my fingers for you while we wait 😄

No worries, however I cannot see the SATA marking on yours, just the SAS, or perhaps I am blind, changed contact model today…but please double check before ordering.

And yes, Dell does not manufacture hard drives, so it’s almost 100% a OEM rebranding.

if however, it is this drive it should support SATA

https://www.minitool.com/backup-tips/sas-hard-drive.html?amp

you can, if you read my edited post, as long as the SATA logo is present on the label of the sas drive

as mentioned in the description of the product

there is cheap controllers as well btw:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExfUSap

lots of cheap electronics for all your needs over there :)

sorry if I misunderstood, but wasn’t his drive sas, and he needed to go to sata connections? this does that.

sas hdd => sata controller connetions

the converter is not the culprit, the drive needs a sata logo on the label for it to work the other way, which is mentioned on the sales page.

if the drive had that logo or not is not mentioned as far as I can see

(edit, thought it was OP replying at first, so changed that, and added requirements for the adapter)

Haven’t tried it myself, but there is cheap converters available on AliExpress:

Might be worth it to avoid using it as a paperweight?

you’re welcome :)

or since you probably are from Denmark since you mentioned Danish in your other comments:

🇩🇰 bare hyggelig, og håper du fikk løst problemet ditt 🇳🇴

thank you :)

not to be that guy . but have you tried to search for an answer?

https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4435

first hit on “flatpak question marks”… it’s due to the font you use in the terminal does not support or not fully support Unicode characters or your locale settings are not correct.

hope this helps and answers your question :)

(edit, lost part of a sentence)

or you might be unable to decrypt them at all

or, if it was a LG phone, could they be encrypted?

if so, perhaps this will help https://github.com/kamicater/LG-Gallery-Decryptor

if you have access to a windows computer, or perhaps wine can work?, there might be a solution in the bottom of this thread where someone had a similar problem

https://superuser.com/questions/972013/how-to-repair-corrupt-jpeg-files

haven’t tested it, so do some antivirus checks on the tool before you decide to test it just to be sure.

good luck, hope you get it sorted
