    You should have a display enable/disable switch in LMDE’s “Display” settings GUI, though it shouldn’t be necessary? Please try another (few) cable(s) because they do vary. Anecdote: I’ve heard of Samsungs being picky like this and only refusing to work with that one device you are trying to use.

    Edit: Can your mouse pointer or windows get to the missing screen? Also xrandr -q shows display status.











  • My bad. Well, obviously Motorola has 14 configured and available for this device, so I don’t know what to tell you.

    Luckily, my gov’t now forces providers to un-network-lock devices after a certain waiting period (60 days?), and the bootloader seems to be unlockable! I’m not feeling like a slave, just paying more for the phone than what I signed up for.

    Edit: I’ll always trust Motorola over, say, Samsung, where the Galaxy S-whatever (US version) and the same name device (International version) even have a completely different processor!





  • Thanks for replying, everyone! This project is temporarily on hold; downloading and sha256sum-ming some different isos led me to discover that my main system has a RAM issue. 🤦

    I just learned to not trust motherboards’ automatic RAM voltage setting; only one of four sticks seems to be sensitive to the apparent undervoltage that it was running on.

    Edit: I hope that whoever designed the style of RAM slot that has a latch on only one side stubs their toe every day for the rest of their life.
