Re: Getting help on the forum, instructions

All good stuff, but I wonder if it would be more effective as a 'Sticky' post at the top of the Support forum which is where most folks seem to go first?

Is it now possible for new users to post attachments immediately?

Dear Q4OSTeam, please update the first post by changing $ inxi -F to $ inxi -Fxxx, because inxi -F does not provide all information about hardware. But inxi -Fxxx even gives Chip ID!


Before asking for help please read this topic: https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3502   If you have problems with WiFi network, try to install the Network Manager using Q4OS Software Centre.

Re: Getting help on the forum, instructions

Just turned it on. It says "booting Q4OS 4.13 Gemini"
Loading Q4OS operating system...
Loading initial ramdisk...

and it just blinks at me!

Shall I just throw the Netbook away?

Re: Getting help on the forum, instructions

I suggest you to open a new thread in the "Q4OS support" section with an appropriate title.
And, please, explain there what is "and it just blinks at me" (my native language is not English), thanks
