ack! Everything is breaking - the fridge’s anti-frost heater broke, so I have no fridge till it’s fixed. And lappy is in a sad state - the upgrade I did 2 weeks ago broke connectivity with the USB HD - it keeps getting reset by the kernel and offlined. This’ll make the school video pretty much impossible until I get it working. fffffekking time constraints. Been trying to find the problem for the last 2 weeks - udev and sg3-utils aren’t culprits, the kernel and modules haven’t changed, so I’m freaking out and downgrading everything to _sarge_ of all things. Plan B is sid ;)
