>How about an "sudo apt update" first? Omigod, there are updates available. Wait ... you knew that, didn't you? <Big grin> So I installed them. They weren't listed in Synaptic, but the little Ubuntu Update Manager had them, so I let it install them. But when it finished it wanted me to restart the computer, and that is a problem for the next three days. That's because I'm still trying to copy all my work off the problem 128GB exFAT drive. It's finished only 31% of the 13.9GB of files, and my calculations say about three more days, more or less. I shouldn't have let it go this long, and there is no other backup. I'd just kill the thing and finish it after rebooting, but it's not copying them in alphabetical order. There are about 1400 files and it would be a major pain to figure out which ones are already copied and which are not. Maybe I can figure out a command to copy only if the file is not already on the destination, 'cause otherwise there would be hundreds of 'skip or overwrite?' error messages.
