Well technically the guest session can write files to /tmp that are temporary but nothing that should persist from a reboot. This could be useful for say a student that logs into the guest session starts writing something in libreoffice writer then realizes they wanted to save the document a superuser (not normal users or other guests) could copy it out the of the guests home in /tmp although they will need to change the permisions so they can edit it. Although remove media or emailing it to yourself are probably easier for nomral users to do. But if you were without without network access and did not have any removeable media on you this could be a last ditch effort to not lose what you were writing in libreoffice writer. -- Brendan Perrine <walteror...@gmail.com> -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca

Now that I understand that January 11th isn't being skipped, I agree. The dates are inconvenient and the LoCo always slows down in the winter.

If you try and boot and the computer is shutdown my bios on several computers will not detect the drive but if you had the computer powered on before and then select reboot you can boot from it. Note I am booting from it because I don't really want to partition shrink on my internal drives. My western digital elements however seems to run perfectly well when you try to boot from it. -- Brendan Perrine walteror...@gmail.com -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
