Linux Mint Forums

it is true, that the later versions of the LinuxMint System, - will utilise an swap space .. rather than the older & traditional swap partition. and that is all that is really needed. :) there is a few of us, that are still using an dedicated swap partition, as an personal preference, though. :mrgre...

you should, be able to just Delete that /usr/local/ampps .. it would seem.

YES ... that is certainly possible. most folks, would use the VirtualBox Program: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.16/VirtualBox-6.1.16-140961-Win.exe for their Windows Host you can then, download the LinuxMint ISO from: https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php and load that ISO directly...

once, an older LinuxMint System goes off-line, then you will have to update any programs, such as Firefox .. manually. this is something that I'm doing with an older LM17 series Laptop. - - it can go on-line, but it usually doesn't do so. there is no plan, to update that Laptop, at this stage, as th...

are you sure that those files, still do work, on your windows machine ?

can you grab an screen_shot of what files are shown, for that drive:
- on the windows system
- on the Linux system
and copy them both, back here, on your reply ?.

1. you can edit those files with .. R/click .. 'Open with Text Editor', is the file, supposed to an Executable File, or an plain text file ?. 2. is there any file_name, listed, that know to be an MP3 or an MP4 ?. or, are those file_names, completely missing ?. 3. is that external drive, still format...

those mp3,,mp4,,txt files .. should work with the correct Linux program:
- what error are you getting ?,
if any ?.

the Linux system will use an ext3 or ext4 file system,
& the windows system will use NTFS or fat32, for example.

you ned to know a bit about xmodmap sequencing:

the issue over here, is the same: - you can get those WiFi adapters, in some big box store, but, typically, it's from some eBay store. the last WiFi adapter, was an TP-Link TL-WN721N & the seller, kindly supplied an CD with some Windows Drivers, for it. 8) when looking around, I'm mainly looking to ...

tell us something about your machine:
viewtopic.php?f=90&t=318644
copy the result of that, back here, on your reply

also, the result of this :
fdisk -l that's an lower-case L .. not an No.1.

if you can.

many years ago .. when win-3x was still in use, the 'trick' was to Install win-98 on the rear of the PCs HDD. the machine, would still Boot into win-3, unless an Boot floppy disk was used, the idea was only sprung, when some-one was careless, and left the Boot floppy, still in the drive. :roll: you ...

NO - - that inxi is an Linux only command.

you will have to run an LinuxMint Live Media,
and run that inxi command from it's Terminal.

you can get the LinuxMint ISO from here:
https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
and then don't forget to verify your ISO
https://linuxmint.com/verify.php
that is Not an MD5 checksum .. it's an sha256sum instead ..

NB: what operating system, are you using, to download that ISO

you can enlarge or shrink any partition,
but you must do that function, from your LinuxMint Live Media
and you can use the Gparted program, from that LinuxMint Live Media ..

does the same issue, also occur with any other web browsers ?
- - not just in Firefox ?.

as you would know, that HMTL5 is an replacement for Adobe Flash Player.

yet, with most web browsers now auto-blocking features & advertising,
then there is this side issue of basic functionality.

you need to adjust the settings in your web browser, to play those videos . .

it's an hassle, to re-learn where everything, in the new Groups Idea,
& I'm not using the Gimp program, enough, to get used to that . .

Hi Paul,
welcome to our forum.


as you move away from the Windows Experience, there will be lots of questions . .

Yes - - there has been some changes,
- from V2.6.x .. V2.8.x .. V2.10.x
and each one is somewhat different, to the last version.

it is possible, to re-arrange the Icons & Groups, back to what they were .. roughly.

in that case .. your only option, is an complete re-installation.
