After much discussion, he told me he yanked the USB out without unmounting it. More than likely. He needs to put it back into a Windows machine and let Windows fix the problem. Also, he needs to have turned off hibernation (fast startup) in Windows otherwise he will continually get issues with the ...

Ah, it doesn't really need a dvd/cd - what it is after is an ISO of Windows 10. You can download that onto your Mint machine - say in Downloads. Then, when installing, you get to the ISO line just click on the Down Arrow in the far right hand corner of the box & select "Other" from the...

That might be a task suited to FreeFileSync. https://freefilesync.org/download.php The First full backup of /Home will take a LONG time. However the nightly backups would be swift as FFS would compare the two Homes and only copies files that have been changed. It is versatile in that you can Mirror ...

Depends what you are going to do with it I think..
Here are some ideas for you to consider..

I have just managed to log onto the Oracle site & it appears that there is an issue with the latest build - 7.0.16 - so do NOT download it. Instead go here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_7_0
and download.. Note also the Extension pack to download...

I don't think that anyone has ever successfully run Windows 10 with 1 GB of memory.
Also, you video memory is way under what I would use.

Go to the Oracle VirtualBox site - sorry, I can't give you the URL as the site is down at the moment. Download the latest version for Ubuntu 22.04, also download the Extension Pack - there is only 1 version for all OS's. Install the .deb file, then run the extension pack. In Mint, go to Menu - Users...

That is the only way that they can be stopped from being shown to a user in Software Manager - via the terminal command flatpak remote-delete flathub Whether that is a sensible thing to do is another matter. Just ensuring that you never install a program from the Software Manager that was marked Fla...

Have never had an "welcome Screen" on the Cinnamon 21.3 I have installed 3 days ago. Oh yes you did...you just might not have noticed it.. :D wel.png Clicking on "First Steps" brings this.. wel1.png The only way that you have not seen this screen is if you have not actually inst...

Do not try and install VirtualBox from the repositories. Go into Synaptic Package Manager, search for VirtualBox and remove all references to it. Go to the Oracle VirtualBox site - sorry, I can't give you the URL as the site is down at the moment. Download the latest version for Ubuntu 22.04, also d...

Just do not click on the section System Snapshots in the Welcome Screen. If you go into that area it is all too easy to have all sorts of snapshots saving in /. Do not go near anything sayings Timeshift after the ignore in the Welcome Screen!! Edit to add: A little after installation you will get a ...

RIH: i'm using LM 21.3 with the LO that comes with it. Well, according to Distrowatch Mint 21.3 comes with Libre Office 7.3.7. That is certainly not the latest version. Libre Office in its' wisdom has now changed the way it generates version numbers. As far as I know, the oldest version under the &...

I had a spate of that a while ago. Every time I tried to open an existing Spreadsheet it would do that. Thankfully, an update came along and it totally disappeared. Not sure what version you are on, but now I am on 7.6.2.1 and that works perfectly for me. So much so that I know that there is an upda...

Three more suggestions - but only because of the size of the partition you are using. 1 Do not use Timeshift. If you mess up the system you will have to start from scratch is the downside. :D 2.Do not enable any Applications that you add to be installed via Flatpaks (marked as Flathub in Software Ma...

With only 60Gb of space you should not worry about partitions.
Give it all to root / & let /Home remain under it.
You don't need a swap partition, Mint will use a swap file instead..

Strange..
This is what I see. I thought then that it might be that I am a Moderator, rather than a standard member.
But I logged out completely and I still go the same result as above..

Using Cinnamon Mint 21.3 and LibreWolf all open as they should.

I really think that you will end up with a better all-round system that way. The other alternative is to add VirtualBox to your Window system and then run Mint as a guest there. You do need a decent amount of memory to do that - 8GB is pretty near the lower limit with Windows the memory user it is n...

It is probably best if you read this.. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=406601 I am a little puzzled (as are some on the other thread) why you would want to put a large persistence file rather than just do a complete install and take up the entire disk. Also, as others warn, a pen drive ...
