Linus would like to have a word with you

there are 10 kinds of people.

• those who understand binary
• those who don’t
• those who know ternary exists

Zeno’s Paradox, even though it’s pretty much resolved

Lol. It pretty much just decreases the time span you look at so that you never get to the point in time the arrow reaches the apple. Nothing there to be “solved” IMHO

one of the main reasons the linux kernel is where it is today: “never break userspace”

unfortunately not every project keeps to this principle.

no package manager should put stuff into /usr/local, thats why its /usr/local. package manager should only put stuff into /usr/… not /usr/local. In the past some mainframes mounted these directory via nfs to do some kind of software management. It contains global stuff that is not managed by the package manager. install some software via “tarball and make” and it most likely puts everything into /usr/local/…

It’s the best location for your needs. /home/shared is a bad idea. /home is reserved for home directories not some shared stuff.

/usr/local is specifically what you are asking for. i would put themes to /usr/local/share/themes for example. chances are gtk will already look there. You can manage permissions inside /usr/local as you like. since the package manager doesn’t care for that directory there is no problem. giving write permissions only to root still is a good idea. it suggest to learn to use sudo when you are working on your system.

Why are you so angry? I never meant or even said what you are implying i did. Quiet the contrary: read the wikipage again, its about when it is justified to act like the side you want to ban.

People are intolerant. Let’s not tolerate them. Now we are intolerant:

Does it only happen with these two drives? i would try with some other HDD/SSDs or two usb sticks. that way you can test if its some weird hardware incompatibility that sometimes happen between specific devices or if the board wont support more then one connected usb drive in general.
