Re: Backup and update not working.
I just realized, kind of dumb on my part, obviously if there is a "mal formed" line, then one would not be able to run apt udate after editing it. The OP should show us again, what they actually have in both /etc/apt/sources.list and in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/some_sources.list But also u...

Re: Apache question.
You should really ask the questions you have instead of about other questions/solutions that you think might be related. You get a certificate for a domain, which should resolve to a publically addressable IP address (i.e. not 192.168.. or such). Apache configuration is another thing. Maybe it's ti...

Re: Update Problem?
The "image" just goes to blank page, at least for me, but you could show what your /etc/apt/sources.list show us what it has in it. Yes a mirror could also be down, but with out any details it is only guessing. Based on the title "update problem",.. I don't what that means either...

Re: Can't Write to External USB Drive
Probably you don't have your file permissions set correctly, you can use 'chmod' to change them, see: https://wiki.debian.org/Permissions
Any way, that is what I would check first.

Your welcome. Yes, your right, it (ffmpeg) is used by most, I tend to often forget, now a days most people /users, almost never use the CLI, where as when I first started using a PC, the CLI was all we had, we learned to use "bat"(batch files) to do a lot of tasks, then later shell scripts...

Re: How to save this Flash drive?
That is kind of amazing, but possible,.... but I have often found that the easiest way to rehabilitate a flash drive is to stick it into a Windows machine and do a quick format. If you have a windows machine handy, yes that would be a easy way, Freedos, as well, I use that, and it is a simple comman...

Re: How to save this Flash drive?
Also, the life of a flash drive is NOT eternal, sometimes it is best to just accept reality , and get a new one. It is also wise to keep a back up/copy of the one with important data, update the backup regularly , so when the old flash drive fails, and they inevitably do , when it fails , you have a...

Maybe if you were specific as to what kind of edit, then I could explain how, maybe not, since I don't know what edit you want to make, I can not really guess. Besides actually that is beyond the scope of the op's question. A simple edit ? you mean like change the speed, shorten the video,or add mor...
