Q: How to allow SSH into, but not file transfer from, a Linux server?

Q: Which way is the correct way to update software on ubuntu?

@dessert Well a bunch of people on this site have made threads about audio not working in the past two days
I fixed that with the grub config patch that's been recommended here
the shell freezing turned out to be my fault, caused seemingly by my turning off of Secure Boot in UEFI (which someone somewhere recommended for the audio issue)
and right now the not-waking-from-sleep seems to have gone away mysteriously, so we'll see how that develops
