<div dir="ltr">years ago iz, but in recent years, no, the powerloss variety of shutdowns are far less likely to bite your filesystem than a harddisc failure, for which you are making backups anyway, right? trying to gain login via ctl-alt-F2 or sshd is a fair suggestion
if you want to try to diagnose anything, try to fire up another
session, or especially if you have screen, tmux, or vnc already going.<br><br>unfortunately it's true drivers are often inadequate at recovering from either sleep or hibernation, so disable those brian and see if that helps. and if running the variety of screensavers that
make the screen jump and dance, well, for years these benign screensavers
have elicited the worst variety of latent display driver bugs, so disable those too. without those screensavers you hardly ever see those
display bugs so sadly i get why nobody gives them any priority for fixing.</div>
