Well,

Ii gave it some further tries.

I found the elio.conf which I modified, but neither "acpi=off", nor "noapic" or both together worked.
"acpi=off" always results in a freeze when trying to access the graphics controller (amdgpu).
"noapic" at least works in a way that the installer gets over the ...

Hi, its me again :-)

I tried another time booting SalixLive from USB stick. Although I made a "new" stick, there is no change.
I also have a clonezillaLive USB stick which boots perfectly on the same machine.

I cannot find a way to key in the "acpi=off" command within the startup sequence ...

Hi gapan,

well, rsnapshot might be an option - thanks!

rdiffweb, yeah I was after something with a GUI to explore/examine the backup.
You might be right, its probably big as it installs many python packages (if they are called so) but refused to work.
I am neither familiar with docker nor I was ...

Hi all,

its me again ;-)

After my desaster with lost emails I am about to install a backup solution.
I would like to go with rdiff-backup and rdiffweb for a somewhat "handy" interface.
However, when I installed rdiffweb via pip I could not get it to run.

A reason might be, it was installed in a ...

Hi gapan,

well, no backup...it was all the time running smooth...

Well I went to the claws IRC channel and asked for help and as it looks, I really have lost the data. All files that would belong to "emails in claws" are gone.
That is what we found out quite fast.
Really ... folders were empty ...

Hi gapan,

I installed GsmartControl and all HD (2 SSD and 1 HD) are reported having no errors.

I am still at the point that some configuration collapsed rather than a real loss of data, but I still don't find the place where it happened.

Hi gapan,

yep, close and reopen and no positive effect.

Well hard drive I need to check - probably this evening.

No, I still use POP and all emails should be kept here locally on my hard drive. We are talking about +10years emails, at least since I am on Salix. :(

Hi all,

I am just scared. I had opened my claws mailer and was busy writing a new message, which I could not save...
Then all by a sudden, inbox, sent folder, outbox and trash bin are all empty (outbox is ok to be empty) - sure I did not click on delete.
Any idea about how and why and how to fix ...

No chance to key in...

"wired" USB keyboard does not work
"wireless" USB keyboard does not work...

I am lost

Hi Djemos,


this is more or less exactly what I found.
The first screen is when booting the laptop, the second & third when booting my "old ordinary" PC.

I indeed find it curious that the keyboard does not work for keying in data.
It accepts the return key, the F-keys work as well as the arrow ...
