Perhaps your system is set to shutdown after a certain time of inactivity; unfortunately, watching video without any physical input can also trigger it - check your 'power' settings....

You set this to be the permanent storage for your programs - in your case, it should be set to tce=sdb1

Steer into it, & drive out of it...

From what I see written above, it sounds like you installed the boot loader to the wrong disk - make sure you install it to the pendrive, & not your internal disk.

Try.... $ for i in * *; do mv "$i" `echo $i | sed -e 's/_/-/g'`; done

Yes...I read the blurb....that's what you get with hiring 'that person'....:rolleyes:

I ditched the 'blue screen of death' way back in '99, & have never regretted doing so.... :)

I expect all Governments have got their citizens' DNA by now, one way or another.....

I can tell you that the /dev/loop are mounts to your snap packages. I don't quite understand your partitioning, you say you created a 4th, but it doesn't show up anywhere? Presumably overwritting what was on them - but then you say your /home is intact, in its original partition?

Bring back TinyX, I say.....:)

If we are just talking data, you can back it up to an external disk, & then reinstall it onto the other system(s).

FreeBSD has always, to my mind, been a pig to install, that's why I chose OpenBSD myself, but have also liked NetBSD, but couldn't get wifi working, until 9.3, so now I will use both Open & Net, as secondary systems. For FreeBSD, I use Nomad, (there is also Ghost). Something else you might like...

Sounds like you either didn't install the boot loader, or you installed it to a partition, & not the drive. (sda = drive / sda1 = partition)

.....& why don't we have that cranking handle anymore, so useful on cold days when your battery wasn't up to the job. ....but, I'm glad that vacuum wipers went the way of the DoDo.

Welcome aboard. :)

I buy pre used computers nowadays, most MSWindows users have to upgrade their machines every time they release a new version, so there's plenty of good quality machines out there perfectly suitable for Linux/BSD, & not too expensive either. :)

Agree, I've been recommending MX Linux for some time now, it's perfect for a newbie/beginner to get to grips with Linux, lots of helpful videos made by the people who put the distro together, so know what they are talking about, very helpful forum too, again frequented by the devs too.

Originally, there was the GNU software (Richard Stalman), at its conception there was no kernel, it was to be GNU Hurd, but it was taking so long that Linus Torvolds Linux kernel got 'married' to the GNU utilities, & hence we had GNU/Linux, which became generally known as 'Linux', but without...
