Left Colorado's mountains in my rear view mirror, stayed overnight at Gunsmoke RV Park in Dodge City, Kansas. Nice place, we will be back here. But, the WiFi is a conundrum.... wide open, no codes required, as the owner has us on his ranch and nothing is close enough to him to "borrrow" his WiFi.......

Not a newbie anymore, but no where close to being a nerd with Linux. I have to keep notes and refer to my notebook to make things work right the "first time". But, after trying a lot of distros, I chose Mint Cinnamon simply because I wanted an OS that used the same set of keyboard and mouse commands...

you are not alone. I also have a very similar ASUS laptop, mine is the TP500L Mint 18.3 Cinnamon will NOT work on hibernate, nor sleep, and recover. it locks up the PC every time. the only solution for mine, was to set every power option to 'NEVER'. and Lid Close to 'Nothing' there is something aske...

I have been finding the most wonderful foods. Google "the coffee den" in penrose, colorado nah, here it is http://www.coyotescoffeeden.com/ i have pictures but of course not enough bandwidth to upload them. Yesterday I ordered up a "full size" bicuits with sausage gravey. back home that means 2 bicu...

I appreciate the disaster zones, but having lived all of my life in the desert arid Southwest USA, the worst things that we get are Tornadoes that will strip anything within its' path down to concrete or dirt. I lived through one of those in 1964 at Shepherd AFB in Wichita Falls, Texas. 1 mile wide ...

I am vacationing in the Colorado Springs, Colorado mountain area. [...] The WiFi access is pissing off quite a few of the folks Who needs Internet while in vacations? Cut off the link, it's good from time to time. I have several forums that I watch and a lot of good friends, post up pictures of whe...

sorry charlie,

but I never use cash unless absolutely necessary.

I don't give a rat's ass who knows what I buy.

been doing it ever since Debit cards arrived on the scene, allows me to download everything and it goes into a tally book electronically.

hate receipts with a passion.

I tried a lot of distros before I settled on Mint Cinnamon. I am on my 2nd go 'round with it, started with 17.x Cinnamon and when 18.3 was released I did a new install. Have never regretted that decision. I find the Power Manager in Mint to work for me pretty good. what I really like is that I can c...

sorry on TurboTax which I also use. it is ONLY on Windows.... and I too keep a Win7 desktop PC separate from everything else. no linux on it. have 3 Linux laptops and learning to replace most of my favorite Windows programs as I go... but no TurboTax UNLESS you are will to use the Cloud version of T...

Install AutoKey and use that to create any short cut you want for Nemo.

I got an email that the "new old stock" Dell charger for this model N5010 laptop is home waiting for me.

so, the ole Dell better get back to being "like new" again, or it will join the dust heap out back.

good idea, will do that, i have a 2nd problem in that the Dell' power cord charger was toasted by the bad RV mobile charger that was spiking 200+ volts every 5 seconds. I have a Universal charger from Best Buy "guaranteed" to work, but Dell does not recognize it as a valid charger, and posts a messa...

slipstick, what is the difference between what your script does and just copying the entire Timeshift folder to an external drive? For example, it appears that the default storage location for snapshots is simply /timeshift. If I were to copy /timeshift to an external hard drive, would this do the ...

Not to fear, the updates will take care of PayPal.

I use PayPal a lot and I too saw that message, and it is gone now.

Can you get into BIOS and turn OFF the UEFI ?

If you can, that should allow you to over-write the HDD and install anything you want.

the USA is such a huge expanse of country, that covering all of it with cellsites is just not practical... low population density will not give the carriers enough revenue to do that. and here where I am now, it is in the Rocky Mountain range, and the laws of physics preclude a cell signal getting b...

1.5Mbps - luxury!!! Until about 18mths ago our download speeds were 100k. Now after a lot of waiting, a lot of lobbying and some government funding, we now have 30Mbps. Without that change I would never have come back to linux - impossible to download anything to play with. Needless to say, I live ...

I am vacationing in the Colorado Springs, Colorado mountain area. The location is a remote secluded campsite that is very popular and well maintained. Apparently, that attention to maintenance also goes to providing Internet access to the patrons here. The WiFi access is pissing off quite a few of t...
