Hello,
I recently traded in Microsoft Windows for Debian 12. Yay me! However being a bit of moron naturally (that cannot be helped) I have run into a problem I cannot solve myself. Let me elaborate:
When it comes to computers I hate any noise that they produce which is a bit OCD I admit. Therefore I have bought a passively cooled computer without any fans at all. After installing Debian 12 with FDE I am prompted by GRUB to enter a password (that takes forever to unlock but that's beside the point). If you enter the password the Debian boots and everything is great. If you enter a wrong password you are dumped into the grub command line which triggers my self induced Tourette syndrome with cursing and ctrl-alt-del pressing ticks. I can live with that since its my fault it tripped over my own fingers typing the password anyway.
However the problem arises when I do not enter a password at all. Besides eating away at my power bill my computer becomes very hot and therein lies the problem. I would have liked it to either shutdown or go into standby, but it does not. (standby/idle works fine after Debian has booted)
So, what can I do about this?
