The journalctl command returns [UFW BLOCK] IN=wlp3s0 OUT=(long string of numbers)

The GUI display settings for mint Debian edition don’t have an enable/disable button on my machine. It shows that the TV is connected as monitor 2.

So the xrandr auto command didn’t do anything. I downloaded pavucontrol and selected the HDMI configuration. It says that it’s plugged in and that audio is playing, but no actual audio plays. Very strange.

I mentioned in my post that I use LMDE. There aren’t any recent software updates that I recall specifically that did it. The TV does work with other people’s laptops in the same port. There’s two HDMI ports on the TV and they give the same results. The TV is a dumb TV.

Woah woah woah, there’s a North Korean Linux distribution?

That’s an…interesting name.

The main difference is that Mint is Ubuntu-based and LMDE is Debian-based.

LMDE. It really does just work.

Marginalia isn’t a daily driver search engine, but it specifically gets you obscure results. Pretty nifty side-engine to have.

I have WhatsApp from Aurora store on grapheneOS and occasionally get what you’re describing, but it’s not constant.
