Groovy - works like a champ!

Go figure. I bought a D-Link DW132 Wireless N USB Adaptor a few years ago for some purpose or another. So I'm looking around for how to install drivers. I end up plugging it in and doing a 'lsusb' to just see if the system recognizes it. Sure enough it's there. Then decide to check the network conne...

I'll look into warpinator to see how it works.

It's an ethernet wired desktop system. Not a wireless laptop.

Essentially all I want to do is to be able to download my pictures from DCIM and upload mp3 and mp4 files to listen to.

FYI, I have a temporary work-a-round in that I've installed the Brothers Printer/Scanner utilities on an instance of Win10 running in VirtualBox. It works like a champ , but...... I'm still interested in learning how to set up the drivers and utilities to get the DCP-1510 to scan in Linux 20.1. Anot...

Thanks. I have installed them.

Every update that's being offered to you, is needed. Also: Updates have never anything to do with "Installation & Boot". Let me see if I have this right. "GRUB is a complete program for loading and managing the boot process . It is the most common bootloader for Linux distributio...

What is the difference between grub2-signed and grub2-unsigned and just grub2 and why do all three show up in my Update Manager at the same time? That confuses me.

I dropped them in my blacklist until I can figure out which one(s) is/are needed.

What would happen if I disable UEFI Secure Boot in BIOS.

Would my current installation of Linux Mint 20.1 still boot?

I can find instructions on how to do this anymore. Rack it up to age as I'm 70 and my memory isn't the best. The system is UEFI. So I'll need to create a UEFI partition, a 'root' (/) partition, and a separate 'home' (/home) partition. I used to have the instructions to do this but I can't find them....

I'm replacing a hard drive on my laptop and will reconfigure the layout of the hard drive. The original had a primary and logical partitions on an old BIOS/MBR configuration. This is an old computer that was running Win7 and LM17 back in the day. The new drive will be installed in UEFI mode. I have ...

I'd like to step further away from standard search engines and use search engines that are more robust and less filtered and manipulated.

It was that easy. I'm in business! Thanks much!

gparted is the tool for this. New bare drive = blank. First thing you need to do is create a partition table on it. As you were talking EFI implying UEFI boot, then choose a GPT partition table. gparted menu, device > create partition table. But worth checking in BIOS to confirm that you are bootin...
