The kernel update of today, to 5.4.0-52, apparently changed something. Or maybe just the reboot could have helped.
Issue resolved.

Since a few days the dimming of the screen and turning it off does not work as defined in Power Management preferences. The screen just stays on even if it should turn off after 15 mins of inactivity (and dim after 10 mins). I don't know exactly when this behaviour started, so I don't know which upd...

I have the T4U version, Realtek RTL8822BU. I think the T3U is RTL8812BU. Drivers are in this package https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver that I'm using. To install: git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu cd rtl88x2bu VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/p' dkms.conf) sudo...

I briefly browsed through the relevant parts of the Maintenance and Service Guide http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03054480 My first take on how to do this would be: . Using the machine as-is, update BIOS to latest level . Create the Linux Mint install USB flash drive . Remove the disk from the...

I would be wary of sharing the profile data from another disk. Big risk of running into conflicts. For Firefox, why not setup a Firefox account and do the syncing that way? You can select what you want sync: bookmarks, passwords, etc., even open tabs. For email (Thunderbird), use IMAP and sync via t...

Select the account in the list, right click on it, select Settings.
At the bottom, under the list of accounts and folders, you have Account Actions.
Select that and then select Remove Account.

I'm using the rtw88 driver package from lwfinger, and it works very well for my adapter (RTL8822BE).
I gave it the "dkms treatment", so it gets automatically included when the kernel changes.

Using GParted, I ran into this bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/-/issues/111

I have now reverted to kernel 5.4 and everything is ok.

Bleeding edge might hurt, and this time it did.

Applies also to non-Windows users. OS/2 and Mac in my history.

Did you do steps 4 to 7 in above instructions, to add keyboard layouts?

Kernel 5.8.0 appeared today in Update Manager. Of course, after 30 seconds of thinking about it, I had to install it. Just to see if it works, and how. Newer kernel should be better, at least for new or newish hardware, and this Ideapad has an AMD CPU and graphics. Anyway, no problem with install an...

Ehkä tästä löytyy vinkkejä: https://linuxhint.com/no_main_class_found_netbeans/

Those are the settings I use. 'Include all' for /root and 'Hidden only' for my /home

Then I use Cronopete to backup my /home

I think you need to install a driver for that TP-link dongle. Which model is it?
I have a model called T4U

Note, however, if you have booted from a USB stick, any changes like driver installation will be only temporary.

The new card arrived and I finally got around to install it. In the Hardware Maintenance Manual it's described as Wireless,CMB,FXN,8822BE M2 01AX712 Already earlier I had installed the driver from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88 It works, and the network seems snappier (browsing etc.) Compared wit...

I'm glad it worked for you !

Minusta tämän vuoden maaliskuun versio ei ole kovinkaan vanha. En tunne K3b -ohjelmistoa enkä tiedä mitä tärkeää on versiossa 20.04.2. Itselläni on Brasero asennettuna mutta CD/DVD -polttaminen on jäänyt vähiin viime vuosina. Jos kerran haluat käyttää KDE softaa, miksi asentaa Linux Mint eikä esim. ...
