Re: System not automatically mounting NFS volumes at startup
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.

Re: Backup from Ubuntu to Debian
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...

Re: Backup from Ubuntu to Debian
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.

Re: Is there an DE that will show root in the file manager?
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...

Re: Reboot and select proper boot device
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.

Re: Make bootable external hard drive system work on most machines
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.

Re: unmount unreachable nfs-server
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 ...
