I have an old toshiba laptop with debian 11 (lxde). It has a build in wifi adapter (Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG, firmware-ipw2x00) This adapter has always worked without problems. Yesterday I replaced the hdd with an ssd. Now the wifi tries to connect but keeps asking for the password. But the connect...

The mount rule in fstab works ok. The synology maps are automatically mounted at boot..

Before I used fstab I used a script to mount the synology maps. I started that script automatically at boot (in debian kde) but I had to write a rule for the sudoers file to prevent asking for a password.

I have this line in my fstab: 192.168.2.5:/volume1/data /mnt/synology/data nfs auto,nofail,noatime,nolock,intr,tcp,actimeo=1800 0 0 It mounts a directory on my synology nas to my main pc. Works ok. mount line in terminal: sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.5:/volume1/data /mnt/synology/data umount line in ...

Hi. Thanks for all the replies! As I can see there are many different ways to do this. But I think I found a solution for me with your help. I think I will go with a normal copy process of all the files I want to save on the external drive and take with me to Debian. Afterall I don't want to save a...

I would just copy my complete home directory to the external disk (if it is big enough) including the hidden files. After installing you can select the files and directories you want to copy back.

Krusader is a very nice file manager. You can easily run Krusader as root from within Krusader itself. (in topmenu: select 'Tools' and then 'Start root mode Krusader'). I I use dolphin as my regular file manager because it is standard installed in kde. I use doublecommander as root exclusively for r...

When I install debian I enable root so sudo is not installed
After installation I do: Then reboot

I don´t know if this is a grub problem.
I would install supergrub2 on a usb disk (download the usb-image from https://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/)
With the ssd installed start supergrub2 and then select the installation on the ssd.
Then install grub again.

You can try the following in gparted with your usb device: 1. choose 'Devices'- "Create a new partitiontable" 2. Select new partition table type ''msdos" - "Apply" 3. Create a new partition Sometimes it helps to create another partition table type first: - Select new partiti...

I own a moto guzzi v7 (1976)

You can install extra firmware.
I did this a log time ago for a linux installation on a usb stick. I opened synaptic and selected all firmware that I could find and installed it. I think "sudo apt install firmware*" would work also.

I use the brand name. Fortunately all my pc 's and laptop are different brands.
There is one exception: my main pc is just called 'debian'

I think I found a solution. I added the line 'Forceunmount=true' to the unit file: [Unit] Description=Asus PC After=network.target [Mount] What=192.168.2.22:/home/peer Where=/mnt/Asus Type=nfs Options=_netdev,auto Forceunmount=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Now I can unmount the server ev...

I have created a unit file /etc/systemd/system/mnt-Asus.mount: [Unit] Description=Asus PC After=network.target [Mount] What=192.168.2.22:/home/peer Where=/mnt/Asus Type=nfs Options=_netdev,auto [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target I can mount the nfs server with 'systemctl start mnt-Asus.mnt' and um...

The connection is made when both pc's are running (of coarse) When I shutdown the server-pc the mount-point on the client-pc is still there. And Dolphin (the file-manager) on the client-pc becomes inresponsive because it cannot read the directory on the server-pc . The mount point will always be th...

How can I umount the unreachable server properly? You don't. I would look into changing the method. Systemd-mount accepts the same options and gives some easier options. You could eliminate the sudo requirement. --discover and/or automount timeouts should eliminate the issue. I think systemd-mount ...

How is that possible? I mean if the server is physically switched off, what makes you think the client is connected? Both server and client are normal pc's (server-pc and cllient-pc). The connection is made when both pc's are running (of coarse) When I shutdown the server-pc the mount-point on the ...

Sometimes the server is switched off while it is mounted on the client.

I use nfs to connect to pc's client: 192.168.2.20 server: 192.168.2.22 I establish the connection with the mount command on the client: sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.22:/home/peer /mnt/asus/home Unmounting goes with: sudo umount 192.168.2.22:/home/peer or sudo umount /mnt/asus/home This works great wh...
