Upgrade Warnings / Re: Warning: util-linux/2.40-6 has serious error

Glad it's clear. I did mention that issue with holding util-linux-extra in the original post, but not clearly enough.

As has been said, this is probably not relevant to us (actually, since hendrikL said it, it's a definite), but there's a fix being developed and it just seemed more prudent for me to wait a little while. But then, I am a coward.

OK, thanks.

My problem came from the fact that I have put on hold  util-linux-extra because of the bug report :

Code: [Select]

b1 - #1069064 - util-linux-extra: insufficient Replaces for util-linux due to /usr-move
I was confused because I haven't understood the discussion about "upgrading from bookworm". It is clear now.

hi lanig,

What is the outcome of 'apt full-upgrade fdisk+ partitionmanager+'?
You can also use apt dist-upgrade <foo>+'.

Both are installed here™.

from the bugreport
[...]
util-linux-extra gained the utils ctrlaltdel, fsck.cramfs, fsck.minix,
mkfs.bfs, mkfs.cramfs, and mkfs.minix. In util-linux-extra, these now
reside below /usr/sbin while they used to reside in /sbin in util-linux
in bookworm and earlier. Hence upgrading from bookworm to sid can cause
these files to be lost.
[...]

So we are already on sid not bookworm and before!
I do not think, that will affect us.

In case you're updating, make sure you're not updating this just yet (though putting it on hold caused even more worry with fdisk and others to be removed). It's being looked into now. I suggest waiting a while.

Thanks.  Problem solved.

I  installed samba.  Sheesh!  I was trying to solve the problem by seeing it as far more complicated.  I thought samba was already installed so I didn't even think of that.  Always check to see if the machine is plugged in before you do anything else, right?

Sorry for the bother.  Samba in, network up, flame on!

How did you connect to it in the past? There shouldn't be anything unique to Siduction that would prevent a connection other than maybe install the software required but I doubt that. There are several protocols that can be used such as sshfs, smb, fuse etc but if your already familiar with one it would be best to start there. I don't know what the NAS uses or has available.

Hardware - Support / How to connect to a WD MyBook network drive or other network drive not listed

Hi there,

I've never done a forum before.  I'd like to know how to connect to a network attached drive I have.

I've been running siduction for about a year.  I tried it out a few times before getting it running more seriously.  I am really pleased with the distribution.  Thank you to all who have made it so good.

I'm trying to connect to a WD myBook type of NAS but don't understand how to get it to connect.  I use several other distros (MX, Manjaro, RPi, Mint, etc.) and have done for many years, but I still consider myself a newbie.

When I use my other systems I am able to map to my little network drive very easily.

I'm not sure who in the Forum to ask, but....

How do I make this connection?  Did I fail to set something up when I did my initial installation?  Perhaps you give me some guidance so I can get access from my siduction box.

I run siduction on the following ancient HP DM1.

System:
  Kernel: 6.8.3-1-siduction-amd64 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc
