Linux Mint Forums

If you have a separate / and /home partition for Mint, you may want to check to see if your / partition is full. You can do that by using a live USB/DVD of Mint.

That same scenario happened to me and I found out that was the cause.

Try mkusb. It can repair a USB flash drive to it's original state and can create a bootable live USB.

You would need to add a PPA to be able to download it.
This is a snapshot of the main menu of mkusb:

As requested. lsblk -fp NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINT /dev/sdh └─/dev/sdh1 ntfs 3TB-External 18664CC2664CA27C 796.9G 71% /3TB-NTFS2 I take it that you want to auto mount /dev/sdh (the 3TB-External? For your /etc/fstab file, you'll want to add this line: UUID=18664CC2664CA27C /<na...

With your external drive attached, can you post the results of the following:

In Xfce, I have the option of changing the display in Thunar file manager to whatever you'd like.

Very nice.
In cinnamon you can't.

Bummer! I was hoping that finding the option would be similar for Nemo file manager.

In Xfce, I have the option of changing the display in Thunar file manager to whatever you'd like. In Thunar, I clicked on the Edit menu, Preferences, and on the Display tab, for Date, I chose Custom for the Date format and used this format: Shutter_28.jpg . . The result is Day, Month, and Year: Shut...

Hiya, I have a dual boot. W10 on one hdd and mint on another seperate physical drive. I think I have GRUB on the W10 drive but don't know how to tell. When I remove the Mint hdd and boot the system asks for grub. What I want to do is remove the mint drive to a different machine and leave W10 on the...

I recommend mkusb. It does a great job of creating persistence, but also a partition for shared data that can be accessed by the USB and your installed OS. It also has a utility to repair a USB flash drive that doesn't seem to want to be formatted or partitioned anymore. https://www.howtogeek.com/ho...

So, you didn't really have a problem with your installation of your Epson?

In BIOS, is there a section where you can tell it to boot from USB (or something like removable drive)? If so, then you may need to make it the first choice to boot from.

According to Epson's drivers for Linux, you first must install a package. Open a Terminal window, then run the following command: sudo apt-get install lsb Answer Y and press Enter to install.

Hello and welcome! Give Mint a good trial run. I think you'll like it and there are many helpful members here to support you.

Did you download the GnuPG as stated in the instructions? It looks as if the command is not being recognized in Powershell.

Also as future reference, if your partition for Mint is formatted as EXT4, you have to use RSYNC. You can only use BTRFS on a system that has been formatted as BTRFS.

I have dual boot here. I've got Windows 10 and Linux Mint 20. As an experiment, I tried saving a text file with the text you wrote: 座敷では此の三つ折りのカネ使われる and in Windows using Notepad, I'm able to open and save the text file with the above text intact. Then in Mint, I can open and save the same text file...

What version of Linux Mint are you running? The reason I ask is that the latest version of Xed should be 2.6.2

Also, are you using Notepad in Windows or something else?
