    [SOLVED] Re: Wi-Fi Stopped Working

    Aha! It turns out that I just wasn't hitting the F-12 button hard enough. I'm surprised that "airplane mode" would be carried over through shutdown/startup.

    [SOLVED] Re: Old linux-header source files

    Now that you mentioned it, I see that /lib/modules also has a ton of old stuff. All told, it's almost a gig of disk space.

    [SOLVED] Re: Old linux-header source files

    When I try to remove the packages, apt says they're not installed. What's the danger in just deleting them? They're taking up over 300 MB of disk space.

    Re: Chromebook Linux - Does it work?

    The POINT is that I'd like to know if this is a viable "hybrid". There are a lot of things I like about the Chromebook, and if I could have the best of both worlds, my next purchase might be one.

    Re: php failure: Text File Busy

    This doesn't solve the problem. I copied a script, edited the copy, then renamed it to the original name, and when I tried to run the script, it failed with the "Text file busy" error message.

    It just makes debugging scripts a little more complicated. It must be a "security" thing.

    This isn't something limited to php, it happens with bash scripts too. The good news is that it isn't "forever," it eventually clears.

  21. [SOLVED] Re: Can't Login after moving /home to a new drive

    Any reason why the sixth parameter on the fstab entry for /dev/sdc1 is 0? According to `man fstab` it should be 2 (as on the UUID= line for /home).

    That's not the problem, but looking at the directory listing, I noticed that the one I installed is different (size) from the one running under 16.04. I hope this solves it. Thanks for the tip.

  25. [SOLVED] Re: Can't Login after moving /home to a new drive

    You may not be trying to mount what you think you're mounting. Mount it, cd to it and do `df .`. Find the UUID: `sudo blkid {whatever device df shows}` and substitute "UUID={block ID} for "/dev/sdc1"...
