Re: Secondary disks not automounting

TOSH, not so big and not as full, percentage-wise. only contain data, no OS. It is not a dual boot system. Excelle...

Hang on...okay, got it. Gparted says they are ntfs disks. What would you like me to relay from gparted's info? TOSH...

Use that to get a graphical look and more information regarding the disk ...

Re: Backed everything up -- now can't login
I have a new computer coming. I want everything on the new computer the same as the desktop one I'm replacing. I'm using linuxmint 20.1 Cinnamon.

Re: Not a Linux drive
Yes, I reinstalled. It took me a couple of hours but now I have a clean install. Since I have all of my data on the cloud it is no problem to reinstall. I am running Firefox in sync mode so all of the setups and add-ons just update. That's what I like about Linux, it is so easy to reconstruct. Than...

Re: How to have only icons on taskbar
Perhaps mmarci is not using Cinnamon and that is why he doesn't see that option.

Re: LM 20.1: levels in update manager?
imho those update level classifications were tilted in the alarmist direction and raised many questions in the community.
Glad to see this gone.
As @Moem mentioned just above--I also accept every update without issues (ymmv considerably).
