Re: Linux Mint login to Active Directory

My link shows connecting with nemo smb://diskstation.local as well as how to connect via fstab with cifs. Thought you needed samba for that? Happy to be corrected.

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: Linux Mint login to Active Directory

If all you are trying to do is mount a share from your synology in mint you do NOT need active directory. Read my posts here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2224687&hilit=synology+fstab#p2224687 You need to install samba which you can do from software manager, or in a terminal: apt...

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...

Re: Full disk backup without empty sectors

That sounds like hard work, but it's your computer. I'm the dev for foxclone.

Looking at your script, if you really want to save the partition table, you can dump it to a text file and restore it with sfdisk. But if you want to rely on AI...

Re: File System Icon in Devices

Just started? If you have a "computer" icon on the desktop, disable it menu > preferences > desktop . It doesn't behave like "my computer" or whatever win call it these days. To me it serves no useful purpose. Your equivalent to "my computer" in mint is your file manage...

Install flatseal, you can change the permissions of flatpaks. I've never used it, I avoid them.

This may be a complete red herring, my web development needs are limited (as are my skills). I have the live server extension installed in VScode. When I "go live", it opens my browser showing the end result. Every time I make a change and save it gets updated in my browser. It has made my...

Re: CANON scanner "Canoscan 9950F"

I also don't think that a 100 Euro program deserves a place in a Linux system. I've been using vuescan for years, long before I came to linux, so I got the linux version. I think it is worth every penny. I do agree that you are better buying a new scanner that is supported in linux. Can't give you ...

Re: CANON scanner "Canoscan 9950F"

Look into Vuescan. https://www.hamrick.com/ I did a quickie compatibility check and your scanner is supported. Vuescan is not a free program but the license is for life and you can use it with more than one scanner and computer. I use it on two computers and three different scanners. I did the same...

Sounds like you are booting UEFI, yes, after installing mint you will see another entry in BIOS called "ubuntu".

BEFORE you start, you will need a mint install stick and backup anything you consider important - just in case! It would also be a good idea to disconnect sdb , your 2TB drive with all your personal files, music, pictures - won't be going near it but another just in case. Note that device names lik...

Re: Connect to Synology DiskStation using NFS (or SMB?)

Honestly I'm close to giving up on NFS now. Maybe its more worthwile to examine the broken pipe errors I had when using SMB? Did you observe something similar? I did! I have had no issues with SMB or with cifs (which is how I normally access the synology). Some of the nfs issues maybe down to the p...
