Same here, I'm using Debian Stable and Debian Testing for many years without any issues. The title and the last (cited above) paragraph in section 7 of Piotr's article are really unfortunate, though the rest is correct. For me the first choice for production level machine will be Debian Stable, and ...

Having Ubuntu single security updates server is by design. See SecurityTeam FAQ : What repositories and pockets should I use to make sure my systems are up to date? While packages are copied from security to updates frequently, it is recommended that systems always have the security pocket enabled, ...

... continuing. Ubuntu migrated oem-6.1 kernel to oem-6.5. I still have it installed on LM 21.2 and last update was on 24 Jul 2024 (although on Ubuntu 24.04 / LM 22 it will be supported - if it still be in vein with new Ubuntu kernel policy). There is little difference between oem and generric kerne...

With native Linux file systems, chown and chgrp and chmod all work.

Of course. Still we are talking about an issue when OP couldn't save files to the ext4 partitions while being logged in in Linux Mint live system.

Live Ventoy USB Stick LM 21 cinnamon, and I had to search for storage place on an external disk You can't copy to ext4 partitions being in live session without setting proper permissions. in short: Suppose using Nemo you automatically mounted some ext4 partition. Before saving files to some directo...

Only udisks2 uses ntfs3. This is how udisks differentiates between the two: ... ... Indeed there is a disparity, two different defaults may lead to issues. BTW I checked the same in Linux Mint 22 before and after changing driver priority in mount_options.conf , it was just ignored, ntfs3 was the de...

I can access mint forums through mobile connection but to download 2.5-3gb iso file and get updates after installation, i need to connect through wifi, which is not happening now. If this about Linux Mint, to download ISO you have 140 different servers from 45 countries: Cinnamon: https://linuxmint...

Please explain how your topic relates to installing Linux Mint In my opinion I guess it's a more pertinent question than asking how to install Windows 10 in virtual machines forum, though formally it is other way around ) Installing other system alongside requires precision and understanding of Lin...

I did Debian 12 and 13 installations several times already alongside other systems. Always used full DVD installer in expert mode https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/iso-dvd/ . It can be done from live installer but there are less options indeed. The important part in manual par...

Among other improvements in Kate, now you can now configure font features for fonts that supports that.
Before applying font feature: After applying some features of Fira Code font: It's for Qt 6.7, so you need to compile Kate or use its nightly appimage.

probably those who are using old repository should remove it as well, something like sudo rm -f \ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.sources \ /etc/apt/keyrings/librewolf.gpg \ /etc/apt/preferences.d/librewolf.pref \ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.list \ /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/librewolf.gpg

It may help in discussion to consider a cost of enterprise level domain protection plan, a few thousands euros per year for sure. And Sukuri, though sometimes irritating, is among top ten providers.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash mitigations=off noibpb no_stf_barrier_tsx=on" Ubuntu has kernels compiled with CPU_MITIGATIONS=y. I'd stay with mitigations=off , adding any other switches makes sense if mitigations=off is not used, and you are disabling only some specific costly ...

This is the first time i visited linux mint forums and found that my ip address has been blocked !! The same this morning while connecting from very regular local IP address and network configuration. In the end connected using VPN. It is not surprising, Sukuri is highly unsophisticated, discussion...

Can anyone think of anything I've not yet tried please?

Did you try to switch drives?

I am still unable to disable systemd-udev-settle - same error as before. No need in disabling service again, it was one-time test. Still it's different from my current system, it looks like this: ┌──2024-10-05 13:34:17 @ ~ └─$ sudo systemctl disable systemd-udev-settle.service [sudo] password for m...

systemd-udev-settle.service is a static service, some other service may pull it in. Just to be sure run in terminal sudo systemctl stop systemd-udev-settle.service sudo systemctl disable systemd-udev-settle.service and after reboot post the result of sudo systemctl status systemd-udev-settle.service

Not beeing an expert, still: If you will run in terminal cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq and get 176 you have default Linux Mint value with only these options, chosen by Ubuntu developers: 16 = 0x10 enable sync command 32 = 0x20 enable remount read-only 128 = 0x80 allow reboot/poweroff If you do the same...
