Strange concern about this "mature manner" thing; what do you mean by that? Is stopping financial support and finding something else to read "mature" enough? That's what I'd do.

Re: Self-created Script (programs de-, install)
Your purpose is not very clear, especially this sentence: This script should write that to another script that i use after reinstallation of linux. You can run dpkg -l to list all installed packages. Redirect that output to a file if you want to save it for later use. This will tell you the whole st...

Re: show files on a partition ?
An SSD is great for static system files and will speed up loading, but IMHO it's a poor choice for frequently updated files, because that will put the drive under undue wear and shorten its life. Since you also have a magnetic drive, take advantage of that. I would mount /tmp as a RAM tmpfs and make...

Re: Setting up WiFi share
Try to create an empty file on the command line into a shared directory: are the permissions alright? If everything looks good on CLI, it might just be a GUI glitch; otherwise, there might be a problem with umask. Since you were able to create the file in the first place, it can't be a r/w thing.

Re: Not able to upgrade from 18.3 to 19.1
I never tried to install /home in a separated partition to avoid a backup. To avoid a backup? What do you mean? Since you are reinstalling, you can make a new partition table and tell the installer how to use each partition. The system is going to work without further intervention. pbear makes some...

Re: Not able to upgrade from 18.3 to 19.1
Whatever path you take, remember to save a list of installed software, because a fresh install will wipe that. Also make an archive of the /etc directory if you have modified any configuration files in there. The safest approach -- so you don't forget anything -- is to clone the whole HDD to an exte...

Re: Setting up WiFi share
From the output you have posted, it seems that 192.168.29.1 is the address of your gateway. You'll have to either: export to the whole subnet, i.e. /home/jas/Documents 192.168.29.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) or, export just to the client you want to access the share from: /home/jas/Documents 192.1...

Re: Didn't partition it when installing.
Partitioning after installing can certainly be done. Back up everything first as it's already been suggested. Remember that your system won't see the new partitions or mount them where they are supposed to be mounted unless you alter /etc/fstab manually to the new situation. Especially, if you move ...

Re: Setting up WiFi share
What you are describing is not mirroring. Mirroring is maintaining a copy of the source in some other location across a network and updating the copy whenever the source changes, so both copies are equivalent. What you need is configuring your desktop as a file server. nfs is a good choice for this:...

Re: Folder sharing issue
I know very little about samba, but I think I remember that it's used to share from *nix environments to Windoze clients. Since both machines are *nix flavours, simpler solutions may just fit the bill, such as setting up an nfs server on the Linux machine and accessing it via the Mac. I'm not sure w...

Re: music from computer to iphone?
Provided that the iPhone takes µSD cards (I don't own one, but I suppose it does), what's wrong about copying files into the µSD and plugging it back into the iPhone? If that's only a matter of a few files, can't bluetooth be used? I presume that the most obvious approach, i.e. a USB cable, has alre...

Re: Backuping up encrypted files with Timeshift
Ahem, saving Timeshift snapshots to a separate drive has advantages, if one has the hardware, but saving them on the same drive as the system is fine for the vast majority of users. OK for the same drive, but I would at least use a dedicated partition. I don't know what the OP's partitioning scheme...

Re: File ownership mess with external usb HDD
If you only use that drive for backups, this is a mild annoyance, but not a real issue. Upon restoration (after all, this is what backups are for), each owner will get the right files.

it still leaves the date as 5 APR instead of APR 5. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to have Nemo display an arbitrary strftime string, unfortunately. However, the date formats proposed by Nemo should follow your locale. Go to System Setting > Languages. US English should give you the fromat yo...

Re: Can a Chromium/Google Chrome browser TAB be closed from the command line/tty?
If the GUI is still responsive, you can type xkill into a terminal and your mouse pointer will turn into a killer X (yeah!) Click on your browser's window with that. However, this will kill the whole window, with all the tabs within. If you know some websites are problematic, maybe open them in a de...
