Great system

[Richard Bostrom]

Debian is such a great system. But now copying and rsync does not work and it has to be done from a live-usb. The system is turning un-usable. Please less releases and more stable releases. I am reverting to the version prior of bookworm. Although graphically not as good.

Yours sincerely

Richard,

Please elaborate on what you mean by "copying and rsync does not work"?

I often use Thunar, cp, and rsync to copy files, and have not issues so far. Is there an issue I have not yet experienced?

Are you copying as a user account, or as a root account? Are permissions an issue? Are particular files an problem?

Can you describe a test scenario that I could try to replicate your issue?

Maybe Apparmor is causing you issues? Do you run SELinux?

I was NOT pleased when my Debian Stable, Nvidia, PCs had issues after an update release that broke the Nvidia drivers.

So unlike Debian.

After a few weeks the issue was resolved, but it was painful while waiting.

or rclone, the best option I like. :)

Morning Richard,

I'd suggest reinstalling with the latest point release of Debian stable.
12.6 was released a couple of weeks ago as was 11.10

Debian 11 will receive only one more release as it transitions to LTS,
probably around August 31st.

Are there any other signs of what's wrong? Logs? Have you changed anything
recently?

All the very best, as ever,

Andy
