Google'd "debian cinnamon x server tty" wondering if it was on a different tty number or something.

comment Why does set -e not work inside () ||
The fourth post (also Erik Blake) also says "Even though we called set -e twice (both in the parent and in the subshell), the fact that the subshell exists in a context where -e is ignored (the condition of an if statement), there is nothing we can do in the subshell to re-enable -e."

I disagree. The second post (I can't get the anchors to work) says "The POSIX description is clear that surrounding context affects whether set -e is ignored in a subshell." - the subshell is in the AND-OR list.

comment Why does Debian sometimes ask me to insert the (installation?) cd when I install packages?
Can you also remove the references to Virtualbox? Pretty sure it's just a Debian thing, having nothing to do with that...

comment Fedora 17 freezes at loading screen with a CD-based installation
Sure sounds like a video card incompatibility... did you try plain VGA mode? This source says it is just a brightness issue on some laptops. This source implies you may need a special driver.

comment Second GPU does not show up in `lspci`
Is the second on-board or another discrete PCB? If it is on-board, it probably disabled itself.
