Linux Mint Forums

Welcome!!!

and like you,
I have found a terrific amount of support to get through my problems.
most of which I created for myself

soon they say, like in about 2 years. just to see how that will effect things, I went into Preferences and set FF to erase all Cookies every time it closes. if it were not for LastPass, I would be lost and not able to login into my favorite forums. it is a major PITA. Your missing some words in you...

I don't think Linux phones will make it to prime time, unless they can use the Android apps that most of us "think we need". as for the caller being able to lock your phone on a simple phone call? I have a lot of trouble believing that..... If the caller is not in my Contact List, and I do not recog...

Back about 3 or 4 posts he said to forget Dual boot, he just wants Linux.

glad you got it resolved.

In my case, the extHDD is always connected "before" Timeshift is activated.
and that extHDD is encoded in FSTAB so I never see the situation that you explained.

Timeshift creates a Folder at the root of what ever partition that you gave it access to. it backs up the OS or system files, not the data or /home files. I have never known it to overwrite and delete existing files. I suspect that you will find it at a location like this. Please note this is for my...

I did miss type should be inxi -Fxz but it works either way. :) Sorry the op seems to have left town. :( I have a mile case of dyslexia which shows up sometimes. He/She may just have a job that keeps them away from their home for days at a time. I have a friend who leaves out 0900 Sunday and does n...

I have an original, Licensed 5 user CD for Windows 7 Professional. Over the years, I have used it maybe twice, and never licensed it to M$... out of the blue, a while back, I tried to restore Win7 on an old PC, OFF the Internet mind you. and it refused to accept the printed License # that is on the ...

Ok, so apparently either one works, but I'm used to inxi -Fxz.

and some prefer inxi -Fzxd

I think he mistyped it try inxi -Fzx

So did you. It should be:

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxz 

inxi -Fzx
inxi -Fxz

doesn't matter, gives the same results

I have added this to my Menu under Internet WiFi Toggle Off/On wifi.png /home/john/bin/WiFi_Reset wifi properties.png So, looking at the above in Reverse; create the file WiFi reset and place it in .bin and point your menu to where you placed that file. . that file contains this code #!/bin/bash rfk...

that did it, I logged out, logged in, no sound.

kind of aggravates me too, wakes up the household.

so, I looked for it and I think the top button is it.
I just turned off Starting Cinnamonn

I think he mistyped it try inxi -Fzx

then highlight/copy all of that and paste in between the code characters.
using the </> button above the editor

as you are very new to Linux, I think that if you will try out the Cinnamon desktop, you will be much happier. it is the Linux "look alike" to WinXP only improved a bunch. I am using 19.3 Cinnamon and the image below will show how much you can change the look of the "Panel" as it is called in Linux....

if something got "lost", use the + button to replace it

back when, IrFanView was the only image program that I would use.

Intuitive, and easy for a guy with "short term/long term" memory issues to work with.

I got creamed by a semi 10 years ago, and it broke the memory bank.

IMO, the way it is set up now, should be ideal. this is assuming that sda1 contains all of your install along with the /home data. I purposely divide my HDD/SSd into 2 paritions. I then use the 2nd partition as my backup drive. that is where Timeshift, backintime/Luckybackup, Aptik, all store their ...
