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.

Re: Visual Studio Coder - Unable to write to the cache directory path "./cache/production/". Ensure that the web server

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".

Re: Moving the file system

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...

Re: Moving the file system

Can I move software to the empty 1TB You have choices but that is the one thing you cannot do. With linux software gets installed into specific folders, like executables in /usr/bin . The upside that linux applications are not space hungry like win. The exception is software installed as flatpaks a...

Re: [SOLVED] Loss of power shutdown, Invalid partition table on reboot

First, there was some message about system date being set incorrectly or not at all or something like that. Pretty sure I already saw this message I'm guessing your BIOS reset itself to legacy boot, which would explain (partially) the message about an invalid partition table. It was looking for a l...

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

To me permissions look identical. As I said, the issue is that Nemo doesn't realize it actually has write access to the files. To clarify, when you try and copy a file with nemo, it refuses? I think that was the problem I had (I didn't try copying files from the terminal with cp). The solution on t...
