Failure to boot - LVM problems?

Hi all, This is one of those annoying cases where I claim "It was working, and I didn't do anything, and now it doesn't" - suspicious, I know ... In this case, I can see from my emails that this machine booted (via wake-on-lan from a cronjob) this morning, and then shut itself down (via a local c

Apt bug & redirects

Hi all, I just read about the current apt security update on The Register: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/01/22/debian_package_manager_flaws/ It suggests running apt update with redirects disallowed ... but security.debian.org appears to do a redirect. There's a tip at https://www.debian.or
