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?

Re: Getting help on the forum, instructions

If you report a hardware related issue, please run in terminal:
$ inxi -F
and post back the terminal output.

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!

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
