Ok thanks to those who replied. I will give Foxclone a shot. Downloaded it last night and will burn it to a USB stick. I will consider this question as answered and solved

Thanks. I was thinking using Clonezilla, but wasn't aware of Foxclone

My current setup is such that the root partition is on a 128Gb Nvme drive. The only thing on it is the os and swap. I'm finding that Flatpak is filling up the drive to the tune of 27Gb. So...what I would like to do is go to a larger drive but still only for /. Home lives on a separate 4Tb drive and ...

After updating to Mint 21 I now get this in terminal it's preceded by base in brackets. Is this a new normal or??

I have found a solution. I found a backup version of fstab that I replaced the one in /etc with. Rebooted held my breath and it worked. All my drives are listed as they should be.

Ok so simple question. Can I rename fstab, reboot and will that recreate a fixed version?

Enclosed my current version of fstab. Makes no sense to me

the results of fdisk -l

Another curious thing is when I try to open the drives as listed by Nemo I get an "unable to mount" message from all of them

So when I open up the file manager it used to list all my drives by their names and had the information with it. Now I get only my home directory and its contents. Back in time can no longer find its external drive. Instead I get a message to turn on the external drive...it's always on. So I turn it...

My system suddenly crashed today while in the middle of working on some graphics in GIMP. When I managed to get it unfrozen I got this...see attached image, Any Ideas? All the drives show in Gparted and the content appears intact.Tried to do a restore using Back in Time but no joy. Restore option re...

This is what Synaptic comes back with. At this point it's not that big a deal as 1.5.7 seems to be working just fine.

I'm running Mint 20.2 Cinnamon.

This is what happens when I tried to install the current packaged version. Anyway I posted this so that others could see this if they run into this issue. Flatpak installs version 1.5.7 $ sudo apt install scribus [sudo] password for ryk: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading...

Today"s software update (Oct 26 2021)via update manager removed Scribus from my system and it's also not available via the Software manager anymore. The only way I was able to reinstall it was via flatpak. Trying to use "sudo apt install scribus" results in a broken packages message. ...

So...second time's a charm. Ran the update a second time last night and whatever was broken is now fixed. Software manager now works and Mint 20.2 is working just fine. Let's call it Solved

I have followed all the steps outlined, including step 4. I have purged all of Flash remnants from my system. Seems there was still one item that got missed and will try again to update to Mint 20.2.

Yup that's the first thing I did was remove Flash but clearly didn't get it all. I was aware that Flash had been removed from virtually everything.

So...for now I've reverted back to Mint 20.1 (thanks Timeshift) and I'll wait out this for now. I think it's a glitch in the update process but for now I'll stick with Min 20.1. Solved...for me anyway.

Just updated to Mint 20.2 and have run into a glitch with software manager not loading. When I ran mintinstall via cli I get this: $ mintinstall MintInstall: Detected system architecture: 'x86_64' Installer: System pkgcache too old or not accessible, skipping Installer: User pkgcache is most recent,...

I did an upgrade and yes am using the same theme as previous. Since posting this it still does what I've described but it only launches one app now (not the one who's notification I click on). It consistently launches Qbittorrent. I will try to figure out why that is the only app.
