My laptop won't boot up on first try.

Can somebody help me with my laptop?
I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1JM.
The problem is that when I try to turn it on, nothing appears on screen and the DVD drive is starting for a slit second and then complete silence, only the power LED is the only sign of life. I have to force restart the computer using the power button 5-6 times until it boots.
I tried everything on the internet but nothing worked.
Please, I need help.

JC v1.15.0 released - JC converts command output to JSON

Today marks a huge release for jc. Version 1.15.0 now includes a 70 parsers and dozens of new features and parsers. New parsers include: acpi, upower, /usr/bin/time, dpkg -l, rpm -qi, finger, and dir (Windows).

https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc

jc JSONifies the output of many CLI tools and file-types for easier parsing in noscripts. This allows further command-line processing of output with tools like jq by piping commands:

ls -l /usr/bin | jc --ls | jq '.[] | select(.size > 50000000)'
{
  "filename": "docker",
  "flags": "-rwxr-xr-x",
  "links": 1,
  "owner": "root",
  "group": "root",
  "size": 68677120,
  "date": "Aug 14 19:41"
}

or using the alternative "magic" syntax:

jc ls -l /usr/bin | jq '.[] | select(.size > 50000000)'
{
  "filename": "docker",
  "flags": "-rwxr-xr-x",
  "links": 1,
  "owner": "root",
  "group": "root",
  "size": 68677120,
  "date": "Aug 14 19:41"
}

Get this error when shutting down (tried multiple distros)

Anyone have any ideas to fix this issue? This is with Popos. Everything works including restarts, sleep etc... but when you shut it down this happens? Thought it might just be because of PopOS so I tried Elementary OS, Manjaro and Linux Mint and all have the same/similar shut down issue. Any insight would be appreciated.

Linux switch simulating a network outage

Hey r/linux

I have a switch running Linux with multiple devices connected to it.

I'm attempting to simulate a network outage on one of the ports. Say the port is swp1.

I've tried with both tcand iptables

tc qdisc add dev swp1 root netem loss 100%

and

iptables -A INPUT -i swp1 -p all -j DROP

However, packets coming from and going to the device aren't dropped.

Any idea on how I can force packets going to the device on interface swp1 to drop?

Linux has a interested history. This is one of early emails from Linus that started Linux as a hobby project, now it's running on 95% of servers and phones.

I created an app to automatically track your time. (Logs the active process and app name every second). It saves into a local sqlite3. It was a school project, but I expanded upon it. Is anyone interested in me polishing it and releasing it? I do not know of any free/open alternative.
