I don't know what zimlib is but you mean maybe libzim? In stretch is libzim0v5:

  Because there is no package named zimlib available:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=zimlib

  You probably want libzim-dev, which does exist:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libzim

  Note that libzim 2.x is only available for sid / Debian unstable.

 Hello

With rmadison we can see that 4.9.144 is available on the mirrors, but not
yet „active“ in the stable
distribution:

$ rmadison linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64

Where the information is stored on the repository specifying a package as
stable?

In the file packages.xz we see only linux-image-4.9.0-7:

The installer has a repair option, I've used it in the past and it 
works, it goes like you're doing a install before it gets to the repair 
part. Use the buster iso and make a boot-disc and then choose the repair 
option from the menu, I think it's in the advanced menu.

I have discovered, through using this Take a Screenshot command (sort
of in anger), that it pays to hit End (or scroll there) before taking
the shot. When imaging this page (which prints poorly here)
https://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways-to-access-your-linux-partitions-from-windows/
the shot was, at first, taken before all the diagrams had been fully
rendered.

Need help making new boot vol

[Dennis Wicks]

Greetings;

I have copied my boot, root and home partitions to a larger
device but I think I need to run grub to actually make the
disk boot. All of the writeups that I can find are way too
old or just old enough that the file names for a lot of
things aren't the same as what I have.

I am running buster i386. Does anyone know of an up-to-date
recipe for doing this?

Many TIA!
Dennis

In my responses, I was referring to a "private" system -- mine: a box
under the desk and only one user, me.  Now if it had mulitple users or
it was a server, even a family only one, it's configuration with future
expansions in mind would be different tailored to the vagaries of users.

It's not that I reject LVM out of hand.  I researched it some years
ago.  Even set up a VM LVM system with 2 virtual drives to learn the
basics.  For my new system, I revisited LVM as an option because I had
added a new criteria to the system -- more than basic video editing, but
after some thought discovered a simplier solution that didn't need RAID
or LVM. Although, I'll set up the new system to make adding LVM easier,
if the need every arises.

Might be, thanks for the pointer. BTW, I've just realized it segfaults 
on both systems of mine, not just the notebook. Moreover it does not 
segfault immediately, but it actually runs some of the WP code and some 
of my WP plugin code, but I've not managed to bisect the exact line yet. 
There must be some code path in my WP plugin that leads to the segfault.


Maybe my code has something in common with the Cacti poller, so that bug 
applies to me too.


I'll post here (and/or in the bug report) as soon as I have new findings.

During grub upgrade, when (re-)configuring due to the udev bug.

Yes, but one issue is one may not know where GRUB was installed
in the first place (ditto with the other methods).

which yields the display issue... unless I increase the terminal
window size *before* I run this command.

OK, thanks, I didn't know.
