I installed bluez from the repos, and that tool didn't come with.

Thus and therefore...

Do you have a udev rules file for hid2hci stuff? Google implies that that file was moved to udev/udev-extras

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ev/+bug/444420

Apparently if you want the hid2hci binary you are supposed to build hid2hci.c from source!

Old bug, though, s I can't be sure that is still the status.

That's Debian/Ubuntu for you.

Dngrsone · 05-18-2015, 07:33 AM

So, I do have the hid2hci stuff, the problem is that neither blueman nor bluedevil can get through setup.

I will have to find the configuration file for the mouse and manually set it up. This is going to take a while...

Okay, am I shooting myself in the foot with all this backing up stuff?

I have two computers. Both are synced and in the Copy cloud. (And actually I have Dropbox too but with much less storage space (than Copy) I just have a couple of files in there.) What I was wanting to do was sync one of the Copy folders with Luckybackup to a usb drive.

But somebody told me doing it that way was potentially funky depending on the order I did it in. (With no further explanation as to what the right order would be.)

Plus I read about Luckybackup not deleting stuff (by way of its sync feature). And that got me wondering about how to delete stuff from Copy.

And I thought, 'I've never lost any data with just copying stuff to a usb drive and now I'm making things super complicated and thereby increasing chances that I will lose data.'

Personally, I think you are fine.

You may be overthinking the problems.

Thanks. I think so too. Like in one of your earlier posts about this: 'what are the odds that the Copy cloud crashes, your two computers go down, etc etc etc.'

Still (LOL) I think I may have the one final thing that would give me peace. Grsync. Supposedly it just overwrites the whole destination (no syncing to worry about). That would be good. Still need to check it out a bit.

This does seem to be kind of a mania though. 12-step groups for this?

My turn for a question.
What all should I install to run owncloud for a small LAN?

I'm fairly sure there are packages available, so you should be able to just install the relevant package.

Glorfindel · 05-27-2015, 10:44 PM

I mean as far as server and such.

avantman42 · 05-28-2015, 01:58 AM

Unless I've mis-understood the question, on Ubuntu you should just need to install the owncloud package on the server, and owncloud-client on the clients. I'm fairly sure Debian has the same packages, but I'm not sure about other OSs.

Glorfindel · 05-28-2015, 10:49 AM

It is that simple? I was thinking I needed to install some SQL stuff too.

avantman42 · 05-28-2015, 11:40 AM

I tried it on my Raspberry Pi some time ago, and IIRC, I just installed the package and any dependencies that it wanted to install. I suspect the package includes scripts to set up the database etc.

Glorfindel · 05-28-2015, 01:51 PM

Cool! Thanks

Gregg Bell · 05-29-2015, 12:56 AM

Hey, now following this owncloud discussion I have a question: why aren't I using it? LOL (This is the first I've heard of it and I've got it in my Ubuntu Software Center (my distro is Xubuntu 15.04).) Especially since it's PRIVATE. I've got Dropbox and Copy.com, but this owncloud looks good too. Really good.

Who all's got it and what's your take on it?
