Linux Mint Forums

Thanks Jeremy.

Ah, resolved I think. I copied over linuxmint-keyring.gpg and linuxmint.key.asc from the TimeShift snapshot into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d. An apt update seemed to be working fine.

Apologies.

Hi there, After a long day installing a Mint 21.3 MATE system, I was having problems with Opera in that its public key wasn't being auto installed by the Opera deb itself. Anyway, I decided to delete the old Opera keys using sudo apt-key del and then add the key manually. That's where I mucked up bi...

So, I switched from Marco + Compositing to plain Marco and the "dead" area was obvious on the menu bar because Marco didn't try to populate it. I then switched to Metacity + Compositing and plain Metacity which acted similarly to Marco. A quick cycle through the other options in Desktop Se...

Have you checked your compositor out? (Tried a different compositor?) Checked for transparent screen overlays? Run BIOS screen diagnostics? I'll check these out but in the meantime your reply got me thinking and I tested right-clicks in a full screen browser, only to find that the relevant area of ...

Linux Mint 21 MATE. I've noticed an odd occurrence over the last few days that wasn't there before, relating to the MATE menu bar on my single bottom panel. Although the menu bar looks normal, and the menu list populates normally, there is a dead area from 224px - 323px from the left of the bar (136...

Having installed Linux Mint 21 MATE, I went through the usual process of adding PPAs and third-party repos. Subsequently, on running apt update from the command line, I received a whole host of messages like: http://ppa.launchpad.net/lazka/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jammy/InRelease: Key is stored in legacy tr...

Just some feedback that ignoring the warning worked fine for me and I'm now posting from beta Vanessa.

No problem. Just the installer not being very smart. Oh well, progress isn't always forward.

It is. And I must say that I am taking it as a sign that Ubuntu is... having some issues. As far as I've been able to find this problem has existed since 21.10 -- so in all that time Ubuntu QA wouldn't have tried their new installer with a legacy system and MBR? As in, what? Yes, pbear said you can...

ie. The system was booted into UEFI mode if it says any word about the esp partition. I have to say that this is not what I experienced. I even checked that this was the case with an ls /sys/firmware on the installer live session command line. Despite that, I was given the ESP warning message when ...

With no small amount of effort, I was able to reproduce this bug. It's a sly one, though, and definitely new for Ubuntu 22.04 and derivatives. On the bright side, if you use manual installation and push on notwithstanding the warning, you should end up with a legacy boot USB drive. [...] Hope that ...

They are, as you say, probably designed for novices. When I install Mint I routinely delete most of these default folders, and they stay deleted throughout the life of the distro, so I'm a wee bit flummoxed by your claim that they are recreated on your system on login. Which distro version are you r...

Just a note that I'm running 20.2 MATE with the Mint-X theme - when I hover over the Mint menu icon, a textbox appears which says "Linux Mint 20.2 Uma". I assume that this is what the OP is referring to. Anyway, I thought I'd just add into the mix that it works fine for me.

Can you please quit the Update Manager through the panel icon and then run
from the command line and paste the output here.

Run
to see which of your installed packages depend on the perl package, and then perhaps re-evaluate your desire to delete it or prevent it from being properly updated.

Using the same partition as both the Timeshift snapshot partition and also a data partition may cause problems unless you are in full control of when that partition gets mounted and unmounted for both uses. That may be difficult to do when Timeshift does its own mounting in the background. I would t...

Check the permissions of the mount directory.

Also, try df -a and running df as root.

Grasping at straws a little here but you might uncover something.

I don't know if it is relevant, but the line in your fstab should be UUID=, not UID=, no?

Excellent.

I'm sorry we perhaps took a circuitous route at times, Piers, but at points it was a learning curve for me as well as you.

Enjoy!
