OK daddd (or mommm) it probably is time for me to test my backups haha

Yes this is in addition to the normal alarm. The light is incase I’m sleeping, as I may not hear the basement alarm going off. The notification is if I’m not home.

You had me at “number pad”

Your problem may differ from mine, but whenever I’ve been greeted with the command line in grub the solution has actually been in bios. I’ll leave you with my notes, which are a bit snarky after spending a lot of time trying to figure out hot to repair grub, when the solution was 3 clicks in bios:

"Inspiron won’t boot

Goes to the grub command prompt

Don’t fuck with that thing

Restart, F2 to get into bios

Change boot sequence to start the SSD first, not ubuntu

Reboot, itll do it a couple times, but should boot right into normal grub"

I hope your solution is the same

I’ve been pretty happy with paperless-ngx, it should tick all your boxes
