F27 boots to grub> after (failed?) dnf update ?

2018-03-26 Thread linux guy
I ran DNF update via ssh on my x86_64 FC27 server the other day. For some
reason it didn't finish and when I rebooted it, it boots to a grub prompt.

"Minimal BASH-like line editing..." grub>

So...

grub> set root=(lvm/fedora/root)
grub> linuxefi (hd0,gpt2)/linuz-4.14.13-300.fc27.x86_64
grub>initrdefi (hd0,gpt2)/initramfs-4.14.13-300.fc27.x86_64.img
grub>boot

This gives me a switch root error and stops at the emergency mode prompt #.

How do I get my server to boot again ?

Thanks

 I also did this, to no avail.

mkdir temproot
mount /dev/fedora/root temproot
cd temproot
mount /dev/sda2 boot
mount --bind /dev temproot/dev
mount --bind /proc temproot/proc
mount --bind /sys temproot/sys

2018-03-26 Thread linux guy
Thanks for the reply.

I thought that "set root=(lvm/fedora/root)" told the boot process where
root was.  Where is this stuff documented ?

So I should add something like "root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root" to the
Linuxefi line ?  Do I need anything else to get a minimal system running ?

Re: F27 boots to grub> after (failed?) dnf update ?

2018-03-26 Thread linux guy
Thanks for the reply.

This allowed me to boot my system to a working KDE session:

grub> set root=(lvm/fedora/root)
grub> linuxefi (hd0,gpt2)/linuz-4.14.13-300.fc27.x86_64
root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root
grub>initrdefi (hd0,gpt2)/initramfs-4.14.13-300.fc27.x86_64.img
grub>boot
​
I ran "grub2-mkconfig  -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg" and it seemed to
generate a valid grub.cfg file.  Do I need to do anything else to utilize
that file, like a grub2-install ?   https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2

Sharing USB Serial data with 2 processes ?

2018-03-29 Thread linux guy
Hi.

I've got a USB serial device that supplies data to a process via
/dev/ttyUSB0.

I need to use the same data for a 2nd, independent process.  I have code
for both processes and can make changes, but I would prefer not to.

Is there a way that both processes can use the same serial USB data stream ?

Thanks.

PS: Is there a better place to ask this question ?

GUI setup for quasi real time process ?

2018-09-03 Thread linux guy
We need a gui for a quasi real time process, which will run on a dedicated
computer.   We need to be able to view and control the process from a
number of terminals, some on the local network, some remotely, over the
Internet.  I hope all the terminals will run Linux, but invariably someone
will want to run Windows.

What is the best way to set something like this up ?   Use a web server to
interface with the process and web browsers to view and control it ?
Write a Java app to interface directly with the process ?

All thoughts, ideas and advice is welcome.

knetworkmanager doesn't work; Evolution and Firefox start offline ?

2010-07-19 Thread linux guy
I'm running F13, fully up to date.

This morning I encountered a number of problems.

1) Evolution starts in "Offline" mode, ie it doesn't think there is a
Network connection and there is now way to put it online.  Thus I can't send
or receive emails with it.

2) Firefox starts in "Offline" mode, but I can set it to being online and
then it runs normally.

3) knetworkmanager won't run.  Nothing happens if I start it from the
command line.

Anyone else having similar issues ?

Any ideas on how to trick Evolution into thinking there is a network
connection ?

Thanks

F14 locks up during graphical login into KDE

2011-08-25 Thread linux guy
Hi people.

My F14 system is hanging during graphical login/boot into KDE.  The mouse
becomes intermittent and then it freezes.

However, if I start a CLI session before it hangs, the CLI session runs
fine.

The machine will NOT shut down properly.  It hangs during shutdown.  It
looks like one or more processes won't stop properly.

I believe this started happening after running yum update yesterday during
which I noted that a new nvidia driver was installed.   I am running the
proprietary nvidia driver, not nouveau.  (Ducks !)

Any ideas why this is happening ?   Anyone else having the same problem ?

Thanks !

F15 Upgrade kernel won't run.

2011-08-25 Thread linux guy
My computer will not boot the F15 kernel after doing a preupgrade.   Nothing
happens when the boot process usually starts running.  Not a single line of
startup is displayed on the screen.

This happens both if I run preupgrade or preupgrade-cli.

Everything seems to go fine during the preupgrade process.   All the files
download and run fine, no errors or anything.

Other kernels on the computer boot fine.

Its like it can't find one of the boot files.

Any ideas ?

Re: F14 locks up during graphical login into KDE

2011-08-25 Thread linux guy
The latest version of KDE, as available from KDE-updates repo.  It looks
like 4.6.5 judged by the yum list.

I have 5 or so kernels installed and I don't think any of them will run.

There is nothing of significance running in "top", from the CLI session
anyway.  I can't run it from a graphical session.

dmesg is clean.

BTW: I upgraded the wireless router yesterday. (Linksys E4200)   This
machine is running wireless N for the first time and it is throwing errors
from time to time.

Sounds very similar Mark.

Any other info you can share ?  Video card ?  Acceleration settings ?

Is it possible to roll back the nvidia update via yum ?  (Please save the
sermon on proprietary drivers for later...)

My system is fine during login.  It too starts to lock during the later
stages of booting into the graphical session.  One in a while I can get a
desktop up before it locks.

I'm booting from an SSD.

Commenting those lines out causes the F14 (non upgrade) kernel to run,

In  case its been missed, I'm trying to upgrade from F14 to F15.

Which CD does one use these days ?  F15 Live runs fine on the machine in

Upgrading via DVD iso on a USB storage device.

2011-08-28 Thread linux guy
I want to upgrade from F14 to F15.  For whatever reason, the boot after
running preupgrade fails if I try to do it that way.

So now I would like to upgrade via the DVD iso.

I would like to do so without burning a DVD.   I'd like to load the DVD iso
onto a USB flash storage device and boot it from that.

I tried using the Fedora Live USB Creator tool.  It gives me a "Unable to
find LiveOS on ISO" error.

How do I put the DVD iso image on a USB flash storage device so it will boot
?

The F11 instructions don't work.

F15 doesn't have a file named boot.iso at /mnt/iso/images.

There is a directory called pxeboot there, but it doesn't have any iso files
?

Kernel bug ?

2011-08-28 Thread linux guy
I get the following when I boot F15 on my Dell Duo.

kernel BUG at drivers/media/media-entity.c 346!
invalid opcode:  [#1] SMP
Modules linked in: snd_hda_codec_conexant uvcvideo(+) microcode(+)
snd_hda_intel(+)

It goes on from there, including a Call Trace.

My Duo won't boot because of this problem.

Its also not displaying the grub kernel selection screen.  It just boots.

It runs F15 Live just fine.

How do I fix this problem or what can I do to work around it ?

You were right about timeout = 0 in grub.conf.   I changed it to 15 and I

The kernel bug error message is appearing when I run kernel 2.6.40.3-o.fc15.

The Duo runs nicely with kernel 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15

Continued problems with kernel 2.6.40.3-0 and nvidia 280.13-2 in fc15 ?

2011-08-31 Thread linux guy
Am I the only one having problems with kernel 2.6.40.3-0 and/or
(a)kmod-nvidia 280.13-2 in fc14 and/or fc15 ?

My Dell duo won't boot the afore mentioned kernel at all.  It fails with a
kernel bug message.  It runs prior kernels just fine.

My HP laptop freezes during a graphical session login with the
aforementioned kernel and nvidia module.  It did so in FC14.  I upgraded to
fc15 and it does the same thing.

The same laptop runs the F15 Live iso just fine and also runs the
aforementioned kernel from the cli just fine.  The problem is only when a
graphical session is being used.

Is anyone else having the same problem or is it just me ?

I'd like to downgrade to

F15: Worst. Update. Ever.

2011-09-01 Thread linux guy
I just wanted to share what a troublesome, irritating process it was to
update my F14 KDE box to F15.

When it was released, I immediately downloaded F15 KDE Live ISO and
installed it on a USB drive.  I was quite impressed.

Shortly thereafter, I ran pre upgrade, only to find that the pre upgrade
kernel wouldn't run when I rebooted.

About that time I got busy with other things in my life and just stayed
running F14.

Until about a week ago when yum update installed kernel 2.6.40-3 and
nvidia-280.  At that point my computer started hanging whenever I logged
into a graphical work session.  This was on a machine that has been running
Fedora reliably since new.

I spent a considerable amount of time trying to troubleshoot the boot
hanging problem.  To no avail.

After a while I decided it would be better to upgrade to F15, thinking the
problem was the new nvidia-280 driver and some older xorg file in F14.

So I then spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out why the
F15 preupgrade kernel wouldn't boot properly.

After a while I gave up on getting it to work.  I decided to upgrade via the
F15 Upgrade DVD.

I downloaded the ISO file and tried for a while to install it on a USB
drive, to no avail.

After a while I gave up on getting that to work and burned it to a DVD.

The upgrade ran without a hitch from the upgrade DVD.  Or so it thought.

Right off the bat, F15 wouldn't boot either, just like F14 wouldn't.

After some digging around, I got it to boot by removing all akmod-nvidia and
kmod-nvidia files as well as my xorg.conf file.  Which, incidentally, has
run fine forever.  At that point I could now boot F15 and log into a
graphical work session.

But not a KDE session !   Apparently none of my KDE packages had been
upgraded and my system now only had F15 gnome packages on it.

Upon running yum update in F15, I was greeted with 57 error messages from
yum check.  All of these errors were concerned with missing dependencies for
F14 packages that did not get upgraded via the upgrade DVD and/or F14
packages that the upgrade process decided to leave even though there was
also an F15 version on the machine.

After spending a considerable amount of time, I determined the best way to
deal with the situation was to delete all the offending F14 packages.  So I
did.

Yum update then ran fine.

I then added back the packages that were deleted that did not have F15
equivalents.

At that point I reinstalled KDE in its entirety.

Which is where I sit today.   F15 works great, but what a process to get
here.

I got two of my computers with this problem to boot by removing all
kmod-nvidia and akmod-nvidia files and also removing (renaming)
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.

This causes the machines to boot with the nouveau driver, which works for
me, for now.

I'll tackle the issue again when I have more time.

It works fine with the F15 live ISO.

I can't figure out what the difference is between my real F15 install and
running the Live ISO.

Wireless "just worked" on this machine in F14 and has for a several releases
now.  No problems whatsoever.

I've tried using both the KDE and Gnome applets in F15.  Neither one shows
any available wireless APs.  Running the Live ISO, I see several.

What is the minimum set of packages that one needs to run wireless in F15 ?
I have a feeling I'm missing something.

Re: F15: Worst. Update. Ever.

2011-09-08 Thread linux guy
Update.

I still have 2 outstanding issues with my F15 system.

1) Wireless networking is not operational, even though wireless worked fine
in F15 Live.  Its not apparent to me what is different between my F15
install and the F15 Live iso.  I've started a thread on this issue.

2) The process that converted emails to the new format for Evolution somehow
got interrupted and only 10% of my emails have been converted to the new
format.  It is not apparent to me how to convert/ reconvert the remaining
emails.  I'll start a thread on this topic shortly.

I'm still running nouveau and I'm running 1 monitor, not 2 like I used to.
I'll get to that issue later.

How to I (re)convert my emails to the new Evolution format ?

2011-09-08 Thread linux guy
I updated from F14 to F15 and in the process from Evolution 2.x to 3.0.2.

There were numerous (non Evolution) issues during the update process.
Somehow the Evolution mail conversion tool got interrupted and thus only
about 10% of my emails were converted to the new format.

How do I rerun the tool and convert the rest of my emails to the new format
?

Thanks !

FWIW: This is a cross post from a post I did on the Evolution user mailing
list.   I didn't like the answer that I received there.  I'm hoping for a
better one here.

# service NetworkManager start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl  start NetworkManager.service

No joy.

F15 Samba shares: SWAT, smb.conf, system-config or KDE file share properties ? Bug ?

2011-09-13 Thread linux guy
I'm building a NAS server using Samba.  Its a mixed OS network.

I just spent several hours chasing some really funny bugs.

I started out using SWAT in Firefox.  I'd make a change in SWAT and commit
it.  Then I'd view the file.  So far so good.  Usually the change didn't run
like it should have.  Ie a share directory didn't get changed, etc.

Then I tried system-config-samba.

Then I tried using KDE via Dolphin, folder properties, sharing, etc.

Then I tried manually editing smb.conf

After each attempt I restarted smb and nmb.

After a while I realized that the server was running with the settings from
several changes ago and that the only way I could be sure that my changes
were being used was to reboot after every change.

Is there a bug somewhere in here or am I missing something ?

Is it ok to mix and match these tools as the need arises or should I be
using one over the other ?

When one installs F15 (KDE) via the Live ISO, the second part of the install
process asks the user to set the computer network name, ie
localhost@localdomain.

When one changes localhost to another name, it shows up in the DHCP clients

Bug in system-config-firewall ?

2011-09-19 Thread linux guy
Hi people.

I'm setting up ssh on a server box.

I'm using system-config-firewall to open up port 22 for it.

Here is the thing...  it *appears* that system-config-firewall has port 22
opened up by default, for some reason.  Ie the port is checked on the port
list in system-config-firewall.

However, if I run nmap from the remote machine (nmap -sS -F 192.168...) it
shows all the ports to be closed.

If I unselect port 22 and press Apply and then select it and press Apply
again, nmap finds it open and all is well.

However, if I then reboot, the port is again closed !   One seems to need to
repeat the unselect-Apply/ select-Apply procedure to get it working again.

Is it just me or do others have the same problem ?

There is also an issue with saving service setting in system-config-firewall
on my machine, but I'll get to that later.

What other program are people using to manage their firewall settings.  I'm
not a fan of manually entering iptable entries.

 $ uname -a
Linux zoneminder.localdomain 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Tue Aug 30 14:54:41

Re: DHCP or fixed IPs for servers ????

2011-09-19 Thread linux guy
Something I should interject here is that it isn't just setting the IP
address of the server.   I find the biggest problem is keeping the
/etc/hosts lists current on all the clients.

Is there a way to statically assign the IP address to the servers and not
have to update the /etc/hosts file on all the machines ?  I know this is
what DNS is supposed to do, but I've never used it that way.

Furthermore, my DNS server would be the local router, not a dedicated PC,
unless we changed that too.



Thanks for the replies thus far.  Its great to hear the responses of people
more experienced than I.

I found a work around.  Instead of entering port 22 as a "Trusted Port",
enter it manually as an "Other Port".

What is it with Linux (ie Fedora, Ubuntu, etc) and firewall managers ?
Firestarter was crap for years and now we have this ?

I think I know why Samba wasn't working when I set it up last week.  I spent

E4200 wireless router, which has file sharing is showing up as master.  I'm
not sure if I should be OK with that or not.  Given my smb.conf file, I was
expecting nas to be the master.  There doesn't appear to be a way to turn
file sharing off in the E4200.  Maybe if I set the workgroup on it to null ?

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2011/09/19 21:06:20

[global]
server string = Samba Server Version %v
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
wins support = Yes
cups options = raw
workgroup = workgroup
local master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 65

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No

comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[TEST]
path = /home/me/test/
guest ok = yes
read only = no
browseable = yes

Any ideas on why Samba isn't working ?

FWIW, I only used SWAT for looking at potential settings and setting a
couple globals.   The rest I've been doing by hand.   And I've been
restarting nmb and smb manually after each change.

I'm finding the online documentation for Samba to be umm... wanting.  I'll
post up a little HOWTO when I get my NAS going.

Thanks

Surely its not that hard to get Samba going.

If it wasn't worth the effort, how else did you enable file sharing on a
mixed client network ?

Has anyone gotten Samba working from a virgin F15 install ?

Thank you very much for sharing that, Tom.

I find the following two lines very interesting.

 dns proxy = No
  ldap ssl = no

I'll test them out in the morning.

Interesting.

Could you tell me what users you have set up for Samba and what you log in
as ?

Because if you do, I've done that.

According to that status tab in SWAT, it is running.

Re: Where is the computer network name set and stored ?

2011-09-21 Thread linux guy
For anyone still following this thread, using the hostname command to change
the hostname does not result in a permanent change.  As per the man file, it
only changes it until the next reboot.

=
  SET NAME
   When  called  with  one  argument or with the --file option, the
commands set the host name or the NIS/YP domain name.
   hostname uses the sethostname(2) function, while all of the three
domainname, ypdomainname and nisdomainname use  set‐
   domainname(2).   Note, that this is effective only until the next
reboot.  After reboot original names from /etc/hosts
   are used again.
=

It appears to me that the only way to truly change the hostname of a machine
is to edit /etc/sysconfig/network. But I might be wrong.

F15, fully up to date, KDE session.

Kstart->Settings->System Settings-> Network Settings -> Wireless -> Add ->

Manually, it finds some.  See below.

How do I start X on the server from a remote machine (via ssh, of course) so

When I google this problem, there is some talk about the DISPLAY variable
not being set.  What should it be set to ?  How should it be set ?

Thanks for the reply, Alan.  Great to see you jump in like that.

How/when is X supposed to be started ? Part of the boot process, right ?
Does anything shut it down, like a "timeout" on the login screen ?

For some reason I thought that -X was set by default.   Apparently its not.

I am trying to set it up both with and without a network manager.  Network

The laptop is not seeing any available networks in network manager.   The

Even when I use the SSID for our wireless router, it won't connect, manually

Is network manager somehow messing this up ?

How I got Firefox 29 to not be slow.

2014-06-05 Thread linux guy
Hi people.

I realize this isn't a Fedora issue per se but I thought that being a
number of people running Fedora use FF, I'd share my experience here.

I use FF as my main browser.  My apologies to the Konqueror developers.

I do a lot of online research and it isn't uncommon for me to have 10 FF
instances running with over 50 webpages (tabs) open in total.

Lately FF has been very slow.  Probably since FF27, though at first I
didn't pay much attention.  Lately its been a huge annoyance.

I tried everything to speed it up.  Disabling disk caching, selectively
disabling various flash options, changing the graphics backends, etc.  All
to no avail.

Today I happened to stumble upon the solution to the problem.

Out of frustration I installed Chrome and began to use it.   In doing so I
completely closed all the FF instances I had open.  I've done this before,
but for whatever reason, this time was different.

I was using Chrome, doing some light browsing when I accidentally started a
FF instance.  When I did, I received a message stating that there was
already a FF instance running.  I aborted the startup.  I ran a "ps aux |
grep firefox" only to find a ghost firefox instance still running.  I
killed it.  I then restarted FF, only to find that it is now peppy once
again.

I hope this helps someone.

F22/23 + nvidia = no boot...

2015-10-02 Thread linux guy
I know that the nvidia driver is proprietary software.

Neither F22 nor F23 will boot on my laptop with kernels from the last week
or so and the latest nvidia driver.  When I attempt these kernel/driver
combinations, it stops on the console screen which then begins flashing
about once per second.  My laptop boots normally if I use the nouveau
driver.

Does anyone know the cause or a work around for this situation ?

Thanks

Re: F22/23 + nvidia = no boot...

2015-10-05 Thread linux guy
FWIW, on my computer (F23) dnf is showing kernels 4.2.1-300 and
4.2.2-300.   I don't have 4.1.7 installed or available.

The log file in /var/cache/akmods/nvidia/ says that nvidia 346.72-2.1 for
kernel 4.2.2-300 was verified and installed correctly, without errors.  So
I should have a working and installed nvidia driver for the most current
kernel.

My computer boots fine with nouveau, but I still get the blinking screen
with the akmod nvidia driver.

Sorry for the multiple, rapid fire posts.

THE nvidia driver I speak of is 352-41.

Here is a copy and paste of the supported hardware list for that version of
the driver.  Both the GT555M and the GT635M are in the list.

Source: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/90279/en-us

*GeForce 900 Series:*

GeForce GTX TITAN X, GeForce GTX 980 Ti, GeForce GTX 980, GeForce GTX 970,

Peer to peer adhoc network setup using network manager. ARP, gateways and routes...

2015-10-06 Thread linux guy
I need to connect a wifi device to my Linux computer. There is no router in
between the two. Just my computer and the device. The device has a fixed
IP, 192.168.0.10. It has its own Wifi interface built in  It isn't capable
of connecting to a router.  It has a fixed IP address.

My home wifi network uses 192.168.1.x. It has a router. It works fine. My
computer connects to it via its built in wifi interface.

I have added a USB wifi interface (dongle) to my computer to connect to the
device. My computer displays the device properly in a network manager scan.
So the device is available for connections.

Next I edit the connection for the device in network manager. The SSID is
filled in from the scan. I select Ad-hoc mode. Band, Channel, etc. are all
automatic.

Next I edit wifi security. The device is open security wise, so I select
None.

Next I edit the IPV4 tab. Under connection method I select Manual.

The next fields are DNS server and Search Domains. In a point to point
connection, there will be no DNS server. I leave the boxes blank.

Next up is adding the static IP address, netmask and gateway.

I set the address of my interface to be 192.168.0.123, because it was
recommended by another user who connected with an Apple device. I set
netmask to 255.255.255.0.

The next thing to set is the gateway address. Here is where I get
confused.  What is a gateway in the context of a peer to peer connection ?
I try to leave it blank, but it won't let me.  So I put in 0.0.0.0.   I
also tried the address of the interface (192.168.0.123) and the address of
the device (192.168.0.10)

Then there is a route field.  I add a route for the ip address
192.168.0.10, using a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and again it asks for a
gateway. I tried 0.0.0.0, the device address and the interface address.

I don't touch any of the IPV6 settings because the device doesn't support
IPV6 addresses.

I save everything and connect to the device successfully.

I run "arp -a" and the device is found connected to the interface.  Yippee !

Pinging the device fails.  Destination Host Unreachable.

When I ping the device and watch in wireshark I see an ARP broadcast
message "Who has 192.168.0.10 ? Tell 192.168.0.123". 192.168.0.123 is the
static IP for the interface. And that is as far as the process gets.

When I watch the other interface and do a ping to a local device, I see the
same ARP broadcast message, but also a reply message to it. 192.168.1.142
is at  And then the process continues successfully.

So what am I missing in the setup of my adhoc connection such that the OS
knows that a message sent to my device (192.168.0.10) gets routed through
the USB wifi interface, ie the ARP broadcast message gets a reply ?

Thanks.

Re: Peer to peer adhoc network setup using network manager. ARP, gateways and routes...

2015-10-06 Thread linux guy
I figured out the problem.  The gateway addresses need to be empty.  If you
delete the entry and create a new one you can use an empty gateway
address.  If you have an address in the field, including 0.0.0.0, you
cannot save an empty gateway address.

My Rpi pings faster than my workstation.  Both wireless, same router, etc.

Caveat: I'm using a USB Wifi dongle on the RPi.

Sorry, wrong list... I thought this was an RPi related issue.

Install an ad blocker and flash blocker.  Block everything and then slowly
allow things one at a time.

I find firefox pretty intolerant of "bad" scripts compared to Chrome.

Linux based car PC "front end" ?

2012-09-18 Thread linux guy
I'm looking for a good Linux based car pc "front end" application.

Does anyone know of one ?  Something like Centrafuse, but OS and Linux
based ?

Does anyone know of one for (gulp) Android ?

Thanks

The linux (and winCE) versions are no longer supported and may not
install correctly due to issues with the repository servers.

rsync a cloned dual boot SSD drive for backup ? Catastrophic SSD future failure recovery ideas.

2012-01-03 Thread linux guy
I recently suffered a surprise catastrophic failure of the SSD in my laptop.

As per this article, they seem to be bit hit and miss or as the
article puts it, they sometimes have an overwhelming Crazy/Hot ratio.
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/05/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive-scale/comments/page/1/#comments

Nevertheless, I feel like I'd like to try using the replacement SSD
that Intel is sending me.

Due to some decent planning and a bit of luck, I lost almost no data
(ie/home/me) when my SSD failed.  Everything else ((ie the OS) was a
loss though.

Reality is just beginning to set in as to how much work its going to
be to set up a new drive with all the applications and settings that I
used to have.  I want to avoid this effort should I ever experience a
drive failure again.

Due to the need to run 2 Windows only applications, I need to have a
dual boot setup.

For future SSD failures, what options do I have for setting up a
system that keeps a second, bootable copy of my SSD in sync with the
SSD ?  I don't mind losing a day or two's work.  But this business of
rebuilding the entire OS is painful.

What I am looking for is a system whereby I always have a cloned
version of the SSD ready to go should it fail.  It needs to handle
both the Windows and the Linux installs.

Would something like rsync work on a regular hard drive clone of the
SSD ?  Could rsync handle the Windows 7 partition ?

Thanks !
