Hi!
On a thread at another mailing list, someone mentioned that they, each
day, alternate doing backups between two external usb drives. That got
me to thinking (which is always dangerous) . . .
I have a full backup on usb external drive A, "refreshed" daily using
rsnapshot. Then, every day, I

Hi guys!
I am running Debian 12 Stable, up to date, on a low-spec Dell Inspiron
15 3000 Model 3511. Firmware is also up to date.
I have a 4 Gb Western Digital external usb SATA HDD, Model WDC
WD40NDZW-11A8JS1. It has only one partition, formatted as ext4. The
filesystem is labeled MSD00012.

Well, it seems that hexchat is being discontinued.

Any recommendations for a GOOD alternative?

Hello!
Opinions, please.
I use rsync to copy my primary backup drive to a secondary backup drive
, so that the secondary backup drive is theoretically always an exact
copy of the primary backup drive.
Here is the rsync command I use:

Hi!
When backing up my system I have been using this exclusions list:
/dev/*
/proc/*
/sys/*
/tmp/*
/run/*
/mnt/*
/media/*
/lost+found
There are many sources online that suggest that "/lost+found" should be
excluded from backups, but I can't seem to find a good explanation for
why.

Hi!
I have a separate /var partition, size 10Gb (actually, 9.1Gb per sudo
df -h).
It is now about 41% full; 3.5Gb used, 5.1Gb free, per sudo df -h.
The biggest chunk of var used seems to be /var/cache/apt/archives, at
about 1.7Gb.

Hey, I have a strange situation!
I just realized that my /tmp partition is not being mounted at startup.
Instead, I think the filesystem may be allocating space in another
partition (maybe /root?) for tmp stuff.
I would like to return to the prior setup, where the /tmp partition is
mounted at s

I plan to upgrade to Bookworm Stable shortly after release. Will I need to

Hello to all!
I just got a brand new Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series 3511 laptop. Came with
Windows (ugh!) preinstalled.
My old Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series 3542 laptop (made in 2014) just died.
So this one should work, right?
No.
Unfortunately the new 3511 is quite different from the old 3542. I

- another identical usb hard drive, labeled MSD2, to use as a copy of the

Hello!
I want to try using borgbackup to do backups of my (only) user directory:
/home/debian-user
I just want to do so using Vorta, a GUI for borgbackup.
But I just need a good, general list of directory and file type
exclusions that I can just cut and paste into the Exclude Patterns

Hi!
It may be time for a new scanner.
For years I have used a Visioneer OneTouch 7100 usb flatbed scanner on
various x86 computers running various versions of Debian and
simple-scan.
Currently:
Debian Unstable (updated, of course)
Linux 5.10.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.28-1 (2021-04-09) x86_64

Hey guys,
Recently there was a thread about aptitude dependency resolution
limitations.
Years ago, I believe I read in the Debian documentation that aptitude was
preferred to apt-get, because it seemed to have better dependency
resolution.
Now, we have apt, as well.
So, all other things being e

Hi.
I'm running 64-bit Debian Unstable.
This has been going on since the beginning of June, 2020, with no end in sight.
Bug #961990 - IIUC, no activity since 2020-06-02.

Hi, all.
As an experiment, I just installed Debian 10.4 Stable on a spare drive, and
installed kde on it.
I have not tried kde in many years, so am not really familiar with it.
Perhaps I am overlooking something obvious, but I can not seem to run
Dolphin or Konqueror as root.

Hi David.
Yes, I made the labels for the partitions during the original installation:
/dev/sda1 = / (primary partition)
/dev/sda2 = (extended partition)
/dev/sda5 = swap (logical partition)
/dev/sda6 = /home (logical partition)
So /dev/sda2 has no label, as it is just an extended partition
