Ok so I cannot download any files to fix my /var section. I have a 2 TB
seagate that has a USB 3 cord to it. I do not have an open USB port so
I plugged it in to my USB hub thingy and it got shut down.
So, the USB HDD does not have a power adapter; it is powered by USB (?).
It is no longer usable.
The USB HDD or the USB hub?
Have you tried turning everything off, re-patching the USB as it was
before the failure, and then powering up everyting?
So the question is I have a HDMI spot open on the
computer and if I find a USB adapter to HDMI and plug it in will that work.
I looked and there are many different kinds and most are about
monitors. I don't want to blow up my seagate or my computer but am at a
loss as to which way to go.
AIUI HDMI sends audio/ video signals only, and does not include a USB
data channel.
I plan on using the sea gate to back up my home partition and then
install 11.6 on the computer and use the seagate as a back up.
Any ideas would be of great help.
I would connect the USB HDD directly to the computer.
