It may be that you have activated autofilter; go to Data | Filter and see if the Autofilter icon is active - it will look raised. If so, simply click Autofilter.

No, that´s not that. All the commands was successfully executed. It did not worked at all. That's not the solution. I think that you have misunderstood. The commands were NOT to fix any problem, they were to provide other posters with information about your system that would enable them to point to...

Hi SoyDodger. I guess that you mean terminal code in general rather than just Sudo. Like most things, repetition & constant use is the best way of committing something to memory. However, I don't use the commands often enough to do that. :D So what I have done is create a little text file on my desk...

You can't unmount the partition that the OS is running on.

You need to, either, boot from a Mint live disk (that will have GParted already installed on it) or boot from a GParted live iso.

If it were me... :D I would consider the fact that it is an old machine that is working perfectly on an Operating system that is supported until April 2021. I would worry about if to replace this system (& with what) about this time next year & then try running a live system of Mint 19.3 (& perhaps ...

When you create a new VB guest, the process will have minimum RAM & disk sizes suggestions. Personally, I always found these minimums way too low in order to have a reasonably speedy guest. Indeed, I tend to go the opposite way & leave my host Mint with a bare minimum & give the guests as much as I ...

Here is a good reading place to start with VirtualBox. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html There are stacks of youtube tutorials (of varying degrees of usefulness :D ) if that is your preferred way of learning. I would agree with the other posters above that VB (or virtualisation at least) i...

VirtualBox is worth a look, as long as you have a fair amount of RAM on the machine,,,

Does Mint automatically resize its partitions when there isn't enough space?

No, Mint will just refuse to load if you run out of space on the / partition.

I have never had AV software on Linux Mint.
However for a bit of extra security I do run any Browser activity through Firejail.

My desktop is set up that way. I have Mint 19.3 running on a SSD & Windows 7 on the original desktop HDD. Because the HDD was 1 TB in size I then partitioned that into 2 segments, leaving Windows 7 & its files on 1 & then creating an ext4 partition for extra Mint data on the other. It is easy enough...

How much video memory did you allocate to the Mint Guest?
& have you installed Guest Additions?

RIH

Have you tried converting them using Calibre?

The user manual says..

DJVU support is only for converting DJVU files that contain embedded text.

So I am unsure (as I have never tried) what happens to non-text & whether that is important to you..

RIH

Mint comes with a Screenshot Application (called Screenshot).
If that will not do you then there are others also available via Software Manager etc..

RIH

I use Synaptic if that happens.
Open Synaptic Package Manager.

I haven't tried Opera, maybe I should. It doesn't seem to be in the Mint repo. How do you suggest to install? Use the .deb file from opera.com?

That is the one I used..

RIH

Your test site above worked fine for me using Opera.
I did accept the 'Allow site to access your location' question..

The terminal output of

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

would be useful here.
Please copy the terminal output & paste in your reply by enclosing the result in the "code" (</>) tags as this makes it easier to read.
