@terdon Excuse my ignorance, but what is the correct protocol in the case of this meta question? Do I accept your answer, or Fox's? Or is it up to me? I incline towards accepting Fox, but let me know, please.
@FaheemMitha As always, it's completely up to you. I just posted an answer so it wouldn't be a comment. And on meta there's no rep involved so even less reason to choose one over the other.
Go for Fox's since that's the one people voted on.
What version/release of Debian Minit is it? And please provide some details of the problems you are seeing, including transcripts of your session, otherwise the question is likely to be closed. If you already have the OS installed, please provide the output of apt-cache policy. In the question, not as a comment. — Faheem Mitha23 mins ago
I was using snapshots to backup on a machine back in '04 or '05, didn't have any problem. As long as I monitored and the snapshot didn't run out of space.
@FaheemMitha I'm curious why you've made two different volume groups if you treat them as one (by, e.g., moving stuff between them). Though maybe that's a rare exception, and you don't normally move stuff between them.
And the copying is me copying my old installation files, /home etc, to my new installation. The SSD disks. You recall answering my question copying my system from non-UEFI to UEFI.
shrug not that many, got through all of Discworld in under a year... Use to read at least a book a week. Probably more. That was before Netflix, after all....
See Arrow's answer [Can someone explain what this chown is actually doing?] (unix.stackexchange.com/questions/373029/…). How can I make my comment's clearer if I haven't already?
@FaheemMitha: Did you get my point? I tried because I can tell he will be a productive user, but I don't want him posting garbage. In this case the garbage works but it is syntactically incorrect. And I don't think he realizes how many people Google here, and take even the garbage as gospel ;)
i don't think there is really a protocol for: someone wrote something daft and won't acknowledge it. Mostly if I see something wrong I just edit it. Sometimes (very very rarely) the original author reverts it, in which I write a comment pointing out his error, and let it be. Life is too short.
I wonder if voice recognition software would work with SE chat. But I only know of Dragon, and that's dreadfully expensive. And probably wouldn't work on Debian.
