Desktop Background Bites the Dust

I have no clue what happened, but the desktop background picture has ceased to be displayed. I'm not even sure where to look to troubleshoot the problem. The salient information is: OS is fully updated Testing, MATE desktop environment. I have attempted to re-set the desktop background via both s

Hi Sam, It doesn't matter what your devices are called. In fact you are best advised to avoid use of the /dev/sd* names where possible as these names may change for reasons other than drives being hotplugged. For example if your storage controller needs a module to detect drives, then order of mod

SATA hotplug + mdadm raid

Hi, I recently upgraded my home server to an HP ml30 tower server. It came with a 4 drive hotplug SATA cage. I loaded two old unused drives in it and installed Debian Stretch on it putting the drives in a software raid1 via the debian installer. My plan was once I got the new box up and runni

Pete, Maybe one more thing to check. I found a reference to an old bug which seems to suggest the number of keyrings gnupg can handle is limited. How many items does apt-key list show? How many files does /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d contain? If a file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg exists, how big is it? Re
