Backing up Lyx.
Hello, I am a new lyx user. I want to know what lyx files to back up so, if necessary, I can install them on a new computer. I am using Linux and besides the document I am working on, do I have to save "~/.config/LyX/lyx.conf" and "~/.lyx"? Thank you, JoeH -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

My output from "mount | grep tmp" on Mint is similar to Wolfgang's and in particular does not mention /tmp. That said, I do get automatic cleaning of /tmp. For recent versions of Ubuntu (and hence Mint), and apparently for Red Hat Enterprise and maybe some other distros, cleaning /tmp is a service handled by systemd. Based on stuff I found on the web, I ran cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer on my system and got the following: [Unit] Description=Daily Cleanup of Temporary Directories Documentation=man:tmpfiles.d(5) man:systemd-tmpfiles(8) [Timer] OnBootSec=15min OnUnitActiveSec=1d Running "man systemd-tmpfiles" produces a fairly comprehensive (meaning lengthy) explanation.

What do you get when you run: mount | grep tmp in my case (Fedora 35) I see: ... tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,seclabel,size=16132044k,nr_inodes=409600,inode64) ... because \tmp is managed by tmpfs and thus, as Paul said, is erased on a regular basis. -- José Abílio This is what I get after mount | grep tmp: udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=1909652k,nr_inodes=477413,mode=755) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=386516k,mode=755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k) tmpfs on /run/user/1000 type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=386512k,nr_inodes=96628,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000) where does one see the erasing period/time?
