rEFInd questions
Does anyone know how to get rEFInd to recognise Windows 10? My rEFInd can only spot Windows 8.1. Later if I select Windows 8, the Windows booting process discovers the second instance of Windows. It thinks it's another Windows 8.... I'd rather have the both appear in rEFInd along with Linux. Any tip...

Re: How to resize partitions after install?
Actually Moem I didn't know that! Maybe explained why I could only shrink one of the Linux partitions and not the other despite there being no real difference or space restriction.

Re: How to resize partitions after install?
Just to let you know how all this panned out. Basically I wanted to fit the clones of my WIndows and my Linux Mint drives from my desktop PC onto THE SAME drive in in my laptop. This has now been achieved. The main tools that I used were Macrium in Windows for cloning drives and Paragon Hard drive m...

Re: How to resize partitions after install?
I needed to shrink a partition and had a strange experience. I had two drives which both had the original and cloned version of Mint. I tried to shrink the cloned version which I've actually done before. But Gparted wouldn't shrink that partition. Then I tried the original, which is the drive I'm lo...

Not enough information I'm afraid. If you post the output of the following commands the folks here can see what you are dealing with: sudo blkid -c /dev/null -o list cat /etc/fstab Thanks Altair4 !

"Unable to mount" all drives! Lack permission...
Hi all! I have a bunch of drives connected to the PC - NTFS format. Previously (last autumn) when I had a go at getting started with Linux Mint I was able to open and browse all of them. It's mainly storage - files and media. But now I am getting "Unable to Mount" "Not authorised to p...

No sound in Headphones
Hi all - can't get any sound in headphones as I'm logged into Mint. Worked fine in Windows. The audio is the built in Realtek on an ASUS motherboard. I can get sound coming from the HDMI monitor but I want it in the headphones that are plugged into the headphone jack on the Realtek built-in soundcar...

Re: Clone Linux installation partition to smaller partition
I've got EFIBoot or whatever it's called on it. :) Once you get that up and running it works like a charm - It'll pick up any OS that's available to the machine..... I set that up here on this forum during the autumn and it's working fine for dual booting the desktop from. If I hook up some other d...

Re: Clone Linux installation partition to smaller partition
To be clear, if you merely copy a partition to the laptop drive, that partition will not magically boot! You will need a some sort of bootloader (windoze or Linux) which is "aware" of the new OS. You are aware of this - yes? If there is another Linux distro already on the drive, that proc...

Re: Clone Linux installation partition to smaller partition
It should be possible to clone your source partition to a slightly larger partition and then shrink the destination partition using Gparted - yes?... and if that doesn't work, you could shrink the source partition until it is smaller than the target and then clone it... If you are going to use Gpar...

Clone Linux installation partition to smaller partition
Hi all! I would like to clone my current Mint installation to a smaller partition on a different drive. The actual space taken up by Mint on either partition is nowhere near the full size of the partition - so it shouldn't matter that the target drive has less capacity. There is still plenty to spar...

Re: Site that fingerprints users, how do they do it?
Maybe they logged the mac id along with the ip plus your style and topics etc etc a lot of ways to see if it is you or not. There is a way to change mac id's and of course ip's but who knows their is a lot of ways to see if it is you or not. Thanks Sam! For years it's been said that it's impossible...

Speaking as a forum moderator, don't underestimate how your style of writing combined with what topics you are passionate about can leave an impression with people. That makes you recognizable without any fingerprinting. Anyway, you were banned for cause. I think you're only making it worse for you...

Re: Site that fingerprints users, how do they do it?
It's part of how the web works: https://panopticlick.eff.org/about#browser-fingerprinting. And they try javaScript, Flash, etc. to get more details. Funnily enough the more browser features you disable and website content you block, the more unique you become (not less) and thus easier to identify ...
