Re: can't format my second HD
I suspect the partition you are trying to delete is mounted. You cannot change/delete a mounted partition. You need to un-mount it first. Right click on it and un-mount. The partition highlighted is mounted, it tells you where it is mounted. Screenshot from 2024-03-29 13-17-53.png Note - when you cr...

Re: Dell Latitudes
Looking at the specs for the Latitude 5440 that has a 13th gen intel cpu. You will need the edge version of the iso for that hardware. I would be very surprised if it has an HDD, it is likely to be an nvme drive.birdman518 wrote: ⤴Mon Mar 25, 2024 2:36 pm The only specs I think I care about are 16G of RAM and a 512G HDD.

As long as the installer can see your system drive, yes.
You can check how you are booting, boot the install stick open a terminal and

Re: Incremental Luckybackups
This is what timeshift and backintime do, each snapshot is complete because they use hard links to point at the original backup copy for files that have not changed.

Re: Full disk backup without empty sectors
All three utilities mentioned only backup used blocks on partitions with known filesystems like ext4 and ntfs. Foxclone and rescuezilla additionally compress the image files to save further space. Clonezilla will as well but I don't know if it is a default. Foxclone and rescuezilla are front ends fo...

Re: And another one gets put on my refuse to use list !!!
I'm thinking the size of an image file would be dependent on how much compression is used, which I believe can be changed in each program. In earlier versions of foxclone you could change the compression level. I removed it, beyond compression level = 1, it takes a lot longer for very little gain. ...

Re: And another one gets put on my refuse to use list !!!
I would be interested in a comparison, how long to backup with macrium and resultant image file sizes compared to same with foxclone. While I agree with Jeannie on finding linux equivalents to what you used to do in win, backup is so fundamentally important that it is essential that you use somethin...

Re: And another one gets put on my refuse to use list !!!
Yes, they all do. Foxclone: https://foxclone.org/ Read the user guide. My recommendation now for putting it on a stick would be to use ventoy and I must update the guide to better reflect that. A "how to" on ventoy: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2389786&hilit=ventoy#p238...

My link shows connecting with

as well as how to connect via fstab with cifs. Thought you needed samba for that? Happy to be corrected.- Thu Mar 28, 2024 6:38 am

Re: Python 3 editor that works?
I used to use bluefish (and liked it), now I use VScode, it's better. I use it for C++ (for arduino), but there will be extensions you can add to create a python development environment - it's such an obvious target as so many people use it. I don't use python, don't like it.

Re: sudoers // privileges
Personally I think it is a bad idea to modify sudoers, especially if you are removing the requirement for a password for all commands. I have no idea why brave wants a password, but run easyssh with pkexec easyssh instead of sudo. You should get a pop-up asking for the password, or you can setup a p...
