I believe that my post was wrong and my original order was as Catweazel just said: the pas-phrase was first, then the root password request (to mount the drive).

Not sure what happened between then and now with my old account.

I think you tried to escape from Europe but then changed your mind.

Welcome Diggy,

I studied CS a looong time ago (graduated 1991) and although there have been lots of changes sine then, the basic concepts are still the same!
I am sure that you will be able to get stuck into some design/coding that satisfies your curiosity.

its not as polished as Windows Well... in some respects maybe, e.g. third party hardware vendors tend to provide drivers to support the interface to the latest version of windows and there is more software written for windows as it is the default OS on most PCs. But in others aspects linux surpasse...

I agree with the SSD recommendation. Currently I am running Cinnamon 19.1 on an old laptop with very similar specs to the OP - but using an SSD. Bootup takes about 15 seconds - much quicker than Win 7 on my dual boot. The system runs very well. System: Host: nc-Satellite-C650 Kernel: 4.15.0-48-gener...

I used Dragon to dictate hundreds of pages of law lecture notes back to text

The latest version is not (yet) in the PPA above, but can be downloaded from the veracrypt website: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html The instructions to install are slightly different... when the ...

Hi Andy,

Welcome.

Let me give you a couple of reasons you might not want to use Linux: 1) If lack of compatibility with that 10 year old printer you use with Windows is a show stopper. In my case, just the reverse... my HP 1010 printer (manufactured September 2003) was not supported in Windows7, but was supported in...

Unfortunately any change to law has to have a political element, by definition, as politicians tend to be law-makers :evil: But I'll try to give a neutral view, i.e. not left or right (or even centrist) Here's a thought: Lets say a major international ISP is owned and controlled by persons with cert...

In the Update Manager/View/History of Updates what is the date of the last updates? I haven't seen many lately--mine shows 12/13 My last one is 2017-12-16 - 12:58:26 multisystem 1.0406 1.0407 so maybe there is no update out there anyway and this has been a false alarm? UPDATE at 3.44pm 23 December ...
