Linux Mint Forums

I forgot to state that I am running Mint 18.3 Mate 64bit.
After much consideration and my uncertainty regarding my ability on things technical, I decided to run the Windows version of Sleepyhead using Wine. It works very well. Thank you for your replies.
Problem Solved

I need to install Sleepyhead software for Linux Mint 18x but I don't know how. It seems that I must build from source however, I don't know how to do that since I am an inexperienced user. Can anyone tell me what to do?

Mail provider claims they made no changes. Browser accesses email fine. Problem seems to only apply to Thunderbird. Perhaps after regular updates?

Settings are as should be on each of 3 computers. This problem happened overnight. I created a new save folder located under local and directed saved copies to the new folder. All copies are now saved to the new save folder. What I don't understand is what changed that necessitated this creation of ...

Thunderbird message copies not saved to sent folder. This just started happening today on all 3 of my computers. Any suggestions?

This problem isolated to email provider Windstream.net

I forgot to say that I am using the Mate desktop. Maybe there is a compatibility problem. I installed California using Package Manager. Software Manager shows that California is installed. Yet, I still can't see it listed on my Applications Menu. I found it! It appears in the Office Menu. along with...

I tried to install California Calendar app In Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya using the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yorba/daily-builds

I got the reply This PPA does not support XENIAL

I was trying to follow a tutorial and I don't know what went wrong.

How can I install this app?

I did exactly as you said. it works great.
Thanks

I want to upgrade from Mint 17.1 32bit to 64bit. I am running dual boot. If I back up home will this save all my data when I go to 64 bit? I believe I will have to do a new install. Then copy my data back to my home directory. Am I missing anything?

Well, I believe I will stop while I'm a winner.
Thank you largely.

I unmounted sda5 and reformatted sda5 to ext4. Then, I was unable to remount sda5 with sudo mount -a loy@loy-Vostro-220-Series ~ $ sudo mount -a [sudo] password for loy: mount: special device UUID=d73dfe0e-8184-43bf-a754-3a96e86da8f0 does not exist loy@loy-Vostro-220-Series ~ $ I had to edit /etc/fs...

Much JOY! I claimed ownership on the files in question and everything works good. Thank you very much for your help. I have 2 similar computers. I Installed 1TB HD on each one. I then Installed Linux Mint on each one. I let the install disk choose partitions automatically. The 1st one came out fine ...

I created bookmarks for the newly created folders. When I tried to download a file to NewDownloads, I got an error message.
The file could not be saved because you do not have the proper permissions. Choose another save directory

My Bad. Now I have it. I made new bookmarks. When I move them to home, I assume that you mean home sda7 not home sda5. Correct?

Now, how do I save a file to this new download directory? When I tried to download a Mint Rosa ISO to NEWDownloads, I was refused permission.

It shows under bookmark as /

How do I create a link as previously mentioned? The make link selection is greyed out and will not work.

I also can't create a new folder or directory in sda5 with file manager. I can only create it in terminal.
