cannot access /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state: No such file or directory

Refalar: acto de mover el peso de la masa hacia un lugar equivocado pero
concreto. Todo refalo es, por cierto, una sucesión de pequeñísimos
movimientos a los que un centímetro es la proporción aumentada de miles
de porciones de espacio, que, al estar el piso mojado, refala.
