http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hello,My hard disc died a couple of days ago. I do take back ups on a regular basisso all is not lost -- only the two last months. I use tar to take incremental backups. Last full back up was some six months ago so I have a couple of incrementalones after that.Yesterday I got myself a new hard disk and built a new #! 9.04. Partitioning andinstalling is a no-brainer these days. Remembering what my favorite applicationstweaks are isn't (What happened to good old emelfm? I am not too keen onemelfm2.).Now I am busying myself with res (HowTos)

Hi.

Ok, so here's the deal. I had an r800x since about 2 months after release date last year. 4 days ago, my touchscreen died on me. So I called up verizon, and my insurance sent me a replacement r800x for free. But here's the issue. I used CWM on my old one to back up my system to restore on the new one.

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get in touch with crouse. My hard drive recently died, and I've had my password saved for months in firefox. Now I can't remember what it was to save my life. The website says to contact crouse and links to a locked thread here on the forums. I emailed him a couple weeks ago and again a few days ago but haven't heard back.

Trying to learn the ZTE Score!!! 50 weeks 16 hours ago

Hi all, I'm an absolute newbie at this forum stuff and even newer at asking for help. lol Anyhow I've had this Cricket ZTE score for 3-4 months, I've always been absolutely intrigued by electronics. How they work, what they'll do and WHAT ELSE WILL THEY DO! But this ZTE has really been an a pain! I've had to hard reset it more than once.

My laptop hard disk got crashed. But until I replace I want to do my home works. So I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on 16GB Kingston DT101 G2 pen drive.

My question is, using my pen drive as my regular disk for 1 or 2 weeks is that OK ? Will I get any problems in my pen drive? After I replace my hard disk can I use that pen drive as normal ( just assume I will use my laptop at least 12 hours per day).

Hello good people of the T989 community!

I have a problem where after about 30 days (give or take a couple of days) my phone will either RR or after I reboot it myself, it gets hung after displaying the "Samsung" logo. I have tried clearing dalvik, and regular cache, and it does not seem to help.

I clean installed Ubuntu 12 several months back on Toshiba Satellite laptop and have had no problems. System was up to date working great. A couple days ago I tried the option of "suspend" instead of shutting down and could not resume. Had to do a hard shutdown and now I can't reboot. All I see after GRUB is black screen with flashing cursor in upper left corner of screen.

Hi All,

Can differential backups be used to solve missing incremental backups?

Say you take daily incremental backups, then for one reason or another you lose the incremental backups for the next 3 days. Can you perform a differential backup to cover to gap somehow?
