Probably, except that I use Mepis.

Re: Systemback (Stevo for President!)

OK...we aren't messing with that file, though. I just changed the .desktop launcher files for the GUI part of Systemback to use gksu to get root, instead of the method that is built into gambas3. I wish I could be of some help to you but I got lazy and frustrated at some point and just threw the ki...

Re: Systemback (Stevo for President!)

@Joany

According to the Systemback dev, you can install live from the .iso (run systemback while live and choose install).

It does not work, for me, on a VM. I'll try installing to hardware in the next few days.

Re: Systemback (Stevo for President!)

ISO-9660/JOLIET/UDF filesystems are limited to a maximum size of 8 TB. The maximum size of a single file is 8 TB (single files in UDF are currently limited to aprox. 200 GB). If you like to have files larger than 2 GB, you need to specify -iso-level 3 or above. The genisoimage program also has the ...

Systemback (Stevo for President!)

I just pulled Stevo's backport of Systemback. Installation required some dependency fiddling to run Systemback from GUI (needed at least, I believe, gambas3-gb-gui) on M12 but that may have been an issue with my own Synaptic config. The program itself is fairly straight forward, bordering on simplis...

Re: Harddrives renaming themselves?

Something believes the Plextor is a SCSI Hard Disk. That "something" is the kernel, which was determined from ER's system log a while ago. Here is an excerpt from the most recent system log: Mar 5 13:15:42 eadwinemx14beta2 kernel: [ 2.973162] ata1.01: ATAPI: SONY DVD-ROM DDU1612, DYS1, ma...

Re: Harddrives renaming themselves?

Then explain to me why this was never an issue in earlier Mepis versions, and ONLY started creeping up in MX14? THAT is what I don't get. 'Sloppy reading' so to speak by the kernel or whatever that thing is called seems more likely to me to be the cause, rather than my hardware that has never given...

Re: Harddrives renaming themselves?

... AFAIK, AHCI only applies to SATA, but this problem is on the PATA (IDE) bus so I don't think it is related. I'm not trying to shoot you down. I thought your comment was insightful and I wanted to bring you up to speed on what I thought was going on and why I think it is probably a hardware prob...
