Re: Without using Grub can you switch operating systems with keyboard at startup?
What did you do to "fix" grub and what was wrong with the existing menu? With legacy boot you can only have one bootloader per drive. It lives in the first sector on the drive.

Re: LMDE and NTFS
You are trying to use the latest ntfs3 driver and it is not in your kernel (not sure what kernel LMDE ships with). Follow altair4's advice, I expect there will be a line in fstab with ntfs3 as the filesystem, replace with ntfs for the old driver.

Re: HDD Storage Mounted Poorly?
Notes to altair4's comments. I always add user to the fstab options, without it only root can mount/unmount. If you mount in /media it will show in the devices pane in nemo as DATA (remember linux is case sensitive). If you don't want it to show in the devices pane, mount it in /mnt . You have to ed...

Re: SMB access to NAS uses SMB1, but should use SMB2 or SMB3
A "better" way to mount your synology is a cifs mount in fstab, this is how I do it:

I have enabled SMB1.0 but this is not needed for cifs.

Re: How to set up Virtual Machine for LM 20.2 Xfce
Installing a VM in VB is a two step process, the first time is setting up the virtual drive the second time you run it, it asks where is the CD or iso to boot from. If you are not being asked where the iso is, on the VB devices menu > optical drives > choose a disk file and navigate to the win10 iso...

Re: How to increase 537MB size of /boot/efi partition
My EFI partition is 100MiB and 7.6MiB used - this is mint only. Even with dual boot win, used would be around 40MiB. What are you doing that requires more?

Re: Do I need a separate scanner driver for Canon MF4890dw
Sadly for you, no. It "just worked". So no guidance I can offer other than try other scanning packages, e.g. the default document scanner, xsane, or vuescan to see it they give a problem. If they work, then there is a github page for naps2 where you might find an answer or be able to ask t...

Re: Dual boot problem Windows and Mint (two drives with EFI)
Different as intended it doesn't show /dev/nvme0n1p1 as boot device, but points towards a mount point /dev/sdb1. This means, I have two functional EVI folders on different drives. That doesn't look okay for me! That is what I would want to see, each OS with its own EFI partition booting from its ow...

Surely that is one area of the forum that could be easily improved, e.g. adding a dark theme to help the likes of Jeanie.

Re: my HP's samba cannot share its own Public drive
It would be nice if the installer would at least inform the user that the NetBIOS name has a 15 character limit One of the first things I learnt when trying to share for the first time (and it was from altair4). It is very easy to change your hostname: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1...

Re: Linux Mint not deleting from Boot Options
You have now had it from three sources, yes you can use gparted to resize ntfs partitions, but you are better/safer using win's disk management utility.
