Backing up whole Debian installation from laptop to laptop via ssh?
I have an old Thinkpad on its last legs which I cannot shutdown (long story). Then I have a slightly better Thinkpad with similar hard drive. Debian is split into three partitions (root. home and swap)/ I'll recreate a similar partitioning from a live usb on the newer laptop, then I'll mount the root partition, connect to the old laptop via ssh, copy the data on the new drive, reinstall grub and modify fstab. Will this work? -- Ottavio Caruso A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

No, that cannot be, because I blacklisted the usb port where the mouse is attached in /proc/acpi/wakeup and then I make sure the mouse is switched off.
Something wakes my laptop from suspend to ram and I don't know what it is
Hi, in one my previous posts to the list, I complained that hibernation was somewhat broken on my Thinkpad and it would generate filesystem corruption on resume. With the help of the list, I was able to fix that problem. However, I still have occasional problems with resume from suspend to RAM. For example, last night I put my laptop into suspend at 11:45 pm; these are the last lines from yesterday in /var/log/messages: Jan 21 23:45:38 e130 NetworkManager[2498]: [1579650338.4945] manager: sleep requested (sleeping: no enabled: yes) Jan 21 23:45:38 e130 NetworkManager[2498]: [1579650338.4945] manager: sleeping...

A traditional install was meant for hard drives, not flash drives. Browser cache, /tmp, syslog and so on will damage the device. If you want to run a distro from a usb device, like I do, use a so called 'frugall install': partition your drive in two (you can use loop files if you prefer), put a live iso in the first partition and save you data onto the second partition when you are done. Knoppix, live.debian.net or damn Small Linux will do the job. Ottavio __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

apt-get fails through broken proxy
I run a Debian derivative on a portable memory stick and I have to connect through an ISA proxy server (both http and ftp). The proxy is broken and misconfigured so it won't download any .gz files, hence I can't apt-get. I have reported the case and the possible solution to system administrator, who is happily ignoring it, so I have to live with that. I can download .deb files so I can install individual packages, but I can't update/upgrade. I just wonder if anyone has a possible workaround on my end, before giving up.
