Hello Roland,
In Debian Squeeze deleting /tmp is supposedly controlled by setting TMPTIME=x
in /etc/default/rcS. "0" means - delete /tmp, a negative number means don't
ever delete it, while a positive number indicates the number of days till
deletion.
By the way - even though I reverted to using the odbc-connection to MySQL (it
works just fine), I tried to install libreoffice-mysql-connector. In doing
so, it "broke" my LibreOffice system (I couldn't open ANY files anymore!).
The reason seems to be the Libre..-connector goes together with 3.3.2,
while I had 3.4.0 installed. I obiously ended up with a "mixed-up" system.
So, for me - it's odbc for the moment...
Thanks for your help
Regards
H

There are flags that you need to set. Do a search on-line. In OpenSuSE
you set them with YAST, I forget where you set them with Ubuntu. /tmp
is only cleaned at system boot, when it "should" be empty.
Ubuntu has a lot of bugs with respect to cleaning of /tmp at system
boot. It basically doesn't work if /tmp is on a different disk drive
than the system disk.

Hi Roland,
I use Debian-Squeeze at the moment. Having spent too much time already doing
things where I don't understand all the possible ramifications - I hesitate
to delete /tmp. Is it o.k. for sure to do so or might I "hurt" something
in doing so down in the depth of Linux?
Regards
