I wound up adding an update-grub after the grub install in the

along the line I found I had NOT copied over the /usr tree of the
old drive, which probably caused the next problem, that of my TDE
login being bogus, so I copied that across and then re-installed the
heart of TDE, 20 debs, reset /tmp's perms to 0777 and I'm off to the
races now. Even have the spindle tuned up a bit better. At about 90
revs, in low gear, I can grab the chuck and can't slow it, period. I
set the reverse bias up (I'm rigged to apply different bias settings
to the pid.s depending on direction, and got the actual speed quite
a bit more symmetrical with that).
You really should set the /tmp dir perms to 1777.  The sticky bit
should be set on that directory.
Done, thanks Mark.

Gene,

More of a security thing than anything else.  The /tmp directory needs to be publicly writable, but the sticky bit keeps other users from monkeying with your files in that directory, ie - deleting or renaming them.

Cheers,
Mark
