Suspend has been working flawlessly since day one, for about 3 years, but now suddenly the ThinkPad is frying itself in the backpack again. Anyone else run into something like this? From the dmesg output, it looks like there's something fishy with the sound device: `sof-audio-pci-intel-cnl 0000:00:1...

Was there a particular reason you installed it with zfs instead of ext4? Curiosity! I was also intrigued by features such as filesystem snapshots. Do you have some data to indicate swap is the issue? Well, I was seeing lots of tabs crashing, and after setting up swapspace, this pretty much went awa...

Are we saying that swapspace does not work on ZFS partitions? https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=309074 It appears that swapfiles do not work on ZFS , and so I expect that swapspace would not work. However in the referenced comment I simply meant that while swapspace prevented Fi...

After installing Mint 21 with ZFS, following defaults, I see I have 2.1GB of swap space. I'm experiencing many Firefox tabs crashing, and would like to increase swap space to at least match my RAM. Is there a straightforward way of doing this? I've tried searching, but the Oracle docs don't seem to ...

Update: using this setup, while Firefox tabs practically never crashed, the whole system did tend to become unusably slow, with 20+GB of swap in use. I've reinstalled. Firefox tabs are back to crashing all over the place, and I see the install process with ZFS has ended up creating a 2.1GB swap part...

On 5.4.0-91-generic WiFi is fine!

However now my laptop is turning my backpack into an oven again

I.e. suspend has stopped working, after working flawlessly for a couple of years.

I'll make a separate post about that.

Hi there, after upgrading to 5.4.0-90, my laptop would not stay connected to my phone's wifi hotspot. It would connect, transfer some data, and then drop off again. I've been working tethered about half the time for about 6 months now, with no issues. Dropping back to 5.4.0-89 fixed it. I've added a...

I've been encrypting my disks on Linux (either full disk or `/home`) since the early 2000s, so I'm not completely at sea. Just never used TPM2.
This is for a work laptop, as a condition for being allowed to use Linux at work.

jean.jordaan

I've seen @linux22's excellent FDE tutorial, but that looks like overkill in my case, since I only want my `/home` encrypted.

Is anyone aware of a straightforward way to do this, using TPM2, in Linux Mint?
Preferably using the upcoming version of systemd-cryptenroll.

After reboot, wifi doesn't show up at all in Network Manager (only wired, and mobile broadband).

Swap file can be created any time. Yeah after resizing partitions I discovered swapspace, which dynamically adjusts the amount of swap. https://github.com/Tookmund/Swapspace I installed https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/swapspace but the Mint Software Manager also has an older version. This is proba...

After installation, following the defaults, I had a 1GB swap partition. I have 8GB RAM and run Firefox with many open tabs. Soon I was suffering many crashes, I guess due to running out of memory.
