[Trisquel-users] Can't seem to make bootable install USB

2019-01-13 Thread jimgarrett
I'm using Trisquel 8.0 and trying to create a bootable USB with the Trisquel mini ISO. I've used Startup Disc Creator but it gives an error, saying "Could not write the disk image to the device". Oddly it asks for authentication twice, saying policies prevent mounting. I also tried the

I'm not sure that's the case... I mean, it only asked for one password during the Trisquel 8 installation process, the Full Disk Encryption password. Maybe it is the case of being necessary to unlock both boot and swap? However according to the Parabola guide, it is possible to automate that

You may have quit Déjà Dup because its automatic backup is buggy. When I plug the external hard drive, Déjà Dup almost always notifies of a problem. But, then, firing the backup from Déjà Dup's has always perfectly worked for me.

I definitely have. Ok, ill take another look at Dejadup again to see if it can compress everything as youve stated. It could very well be that I switched to backintime for another reason in the past, but I can't recall. Thanks for the assistance.

By default, Déjà Dup does "smart delete" if, by that, you mean removing the oldest backups if space is missing. At least, that is what is written in its "help" (I do not think I have ever reached the capacity of my backup disks).

To clarify, I create images, music, video, etc. So, naturally the output files I generate can be compressed or uncompressed. Sometimes when you make a final output file, you need to make a few uncompressed versions of the file before mastering. Regarding, BackInTime -- my current backup

We are not talking about the same thing. I thought you were talking about end-user multimedia files (jpeg, png, mp3, vorbis, mp4, webm, etc.): those are formats that are compressed with algorithms that take into account the specifics of the medium, thereby reaching better compression ratios

Thats definitely not true. Especially for source files -- I know this from experience. I will look into another program that compresses files as it backs them up. The default program in Trisquel is too simple for what I need.

The Backup utility in Trisquel compresses, by default. But you are talking about video, audio and pictures: such files are typically already in compressed formats: there is basically no more space you can save.

An external hard drive you store away from the computer (so that they do not get robbed together, they do not burn in a fire in the same room, etc.) is probably the easiest option. Better (but slower): backup on a remote computer, through the network. You can use the "Backup" utility that
