Hello,
And BTW2: I have this set up:
==== /etc/init.d/boot.local ==== dbus-uuidgen > /etc/machine-id ====
(just symlinking machine-id to /dev/null sadly makes some apps barf)
Who the F came up with that machine-id thing anyway? deadrat again?
What is that thing for? :-? :-o What uses it? My "/etc/machine-id" file is dated 2012, and does not contain the same as dbus-uuidgen (I guess I know why)
HTH, -dnh, who also likes to read print first and foremost, but hasn't printed himself a page in the last ~15+ years, but had others print about 8 pages for him in the first ~7 of those and hasn't even had others print for him in about 8 years ;)
tsk, tsk. I printed two pages this week. The health system here uses electronic prescriptions, but I need to print the PDF so that the pharmacy can scan the barcode and deliver my medicines :-p -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
