I just use Nemo. (Nemo is Mint's default file manager) 1: Connect the phone to the PC : The phone appears in Nemo's sidebar 2: Click the phone icon to open it : Phone gives a popup asking if you want to allow file transfer 3: Approve file access on the phone ; Now you can explore the phone's files ...

Thanks for the reply Billy.
However, I have abandoned this line of enquiry and gone back to trying to fix my RadioMaster RMTX16S mk 11 tx., which as been problematic since purchase and has yet to fly a model.

I will mark the thread as abandoned.

I am trying to install this file: eepskye 422 Linux version.

The installation directions are here: https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v2/tutorials/getting-started/ide-v2-downloading-and-installing They recommend you download the appimage, not the zip file. I'm not sure why they provide a zip file also. Perhaps for folks who wish to compile it themselves. T...

Thanks for posting the question and thanks for the answers.
I will come back to this thread and employ the suggestion when time permits.
I am also keen to assemble and edit self made videos.

Jim.

I am experiencing the same problem.
Has anyone solved this yet?

I used my computer system time successfully.
I was omitting the "youtube-dl" component out of the terminal entry commands!
Thread solved.

I sometimes want to download a big file, such as an operating system, to usitlise my off peak data bonus allocation. I have had this facility working find previously, largely due to the assistance from jimalyn here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=224837&hilit=Delayed+downl...

You cannot make changes to your / partition with gparted booting normally. To make the changes you have to unmount the partition first and you cannot unmount your / partition. To make changes to your / partition run gparted from your mint install stick. Thanks for the reply and my apologies for the...

Got it, thanks!

Does this notification at the bottom of the gparted window indicate that the process is still running?
When it is finished, will I see a notification?

Thanks for the reply with the good explanations.
I will attempt to shrink sda1 and create a new partition.

Jim.

..................... Linux Mint is installed on the sda6 partition shown in the picture.................. Excellent! Thanks Ricardo. Note that the mount point is "/". Ok. Does this tell me that Linux Mint is on that partition? Apologies for these further questions, but......... 1. What d...

How do I determine which partition Linux Mint is installed on?
Screenshot of gparted output attached.

Thanks for the many good replies.
The conclusion to my problem appears to be most likely the quality of the USB sticks I have been buying.
I will seek out and purchase quality brand names, as has been suggested.

I will mark this thread as marked.

I will do that in future, and report back; if necessary.
Thanks again Andy.

I normally just F12 on boot to get the BIOS boot list and select the usb stick. I have BIOS boot mode set to Both, can't remember whether it is legacy first or UEFI first, but both work. Burn my sticks with mint's usb image writer or use ventoy. That's good Andy. I am pleased that you and others do...

It would fail on two computers and during other attempts, on three!
