GRUB and LILO both fail to install to NVMe hard disk when installing Debian
I’m trying to install 64-bit Debian stable on a Lenovo Thinkpad. When I get to the installation step that installs the bootloader, I get this message:

Growing LVM root
I tried to grow my LVM (on luks) root partition with
Move data from regular partition to lvm
I’ve read a bit about lvm and decided that I want to switch to using it. It seems like actually setting up lvm can be done from the debian installer, so I suppose that’ll be easiest. What I’m not sure about is how to copy all of my files to the new system.

xdg-open opens a different application to the one specified by xdg-mime query
I run Debian Jessie without a desktop environment (I use the tiling window manager i3) and like to use xdg-open to quickly open files using a preferred application. I have an ongoing problem setting the preferred app for PDF files though. This is my problem in a nutshell:
Grub – boot debian iso file from ntfs partition and install it
I have problem installing debian directly from hard drive. Say, i have a logical partition /dev/sda5 and there is debian DVD iso file located in (hd0,5)/iso/debian-8.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso with initrd file there too. Then I created grub menu entry with this:
