Greetings;
And I had just had it update everything, 162 of the 165 packages being
from TDE.
From here, all indications of an extended to 20 minutes e2fsck or
something. No response to a ping, no response to an attempted ssh -Y
alias login. So I slip on a t-shirt and stumble out to the machine at
3AM, to be greeted by its own login greeter. So I logged in, all normal.
And now that I'm logged in there, everything else is also working
normally.
So its own login has been moved up early so nothing in the way of
services is running until after the local login.
This. to be blunt, is a disaster for the way I have normally worked to
maintain these machines for over a decade.
Can this be unfixed? Its a right pain in the ass to be locked out of a
machine because the local login hasn't been done.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

New subject: [trinity-users] Just had a reason to reboot one of my machines remotely.
Blind guess: you are using debian, systemd killed sshd 'cause ssh did not get enough
random data ... guess you run it on a rpi?

Nope, debian wheezy yet on an old dell dimension 745 with a 2 core brain.
Thats what LCNC runs on, although there is a stretch testing, but it
comes with a broken kernel. The keyboard goes away, sometimes several
times a day for the rt-preempt version, and in a week or so for the
non-rt version of the same kernel. Thats not safe for running
machinery.
But ATM they're working on a pi4 version. And I've a pi-4, 2G version on
order. But ATM if you want buster on amd64, you still have to build
your own rt kernel, and then build LCNC. AFAIK. I like debians
net-installed buster but so far have been unable to prevent its self
destruction after 5 or 6 reboots. With, or without a root pw set it
invalidates your passwds and you are locked out till you bring the card
back in and rewrite the netinstall stuff and start all over. 4 times
now. IF it can be made to work, its not a damned u-booter, debians
net-install actually uses grub to boot a pi-3b!. And that opens up lots
of possibilities. I supposed I should go for loop 5 eventually on the
pi-buster, & see if its been fixed. But theres no clue when its going to
fail the next reboot.
This dell is the only machine I felt had enough iron in its butt to run
TDE, but this may force me to go back to xfce4 which is working fine on
2 other intel atom boxes. If similar problem on the next reboot, TDE
will be gone and xfce4 will replace it. It really is that simple for me.
That, and my ticker is threatening to quit despite a pacemaker, I spent
the night before in the shop with angina pain, but the heart guy is out
of pocket this week. So against their better judgement, I checked my
self out and came home and am not exerting myself, basically taking care
of Dee & the housework. And I feel pretty good so far. Ignore that
faint knocking sound.
Thanks Nik.
