Re: ASUS X99-A/USB3.1

Wonderful. I have built some computers in the past, at the time when we still manually had to set jumpers etc. ;-) For now, ASUS has offered me an RMA, so I will see what they do. It was clearly their wrong instructions which caused the problem. They gave me a diagram of where to insert the USB for ...

Most recently, I was running 20.3, but had upgraded online, not by reinstalling, and it was working fine. When my SSD crashed a...

Re: Install Linux Mint 21.1 from USB stick <SOLVED>

THANKS. Marked this solved now. I had this machine working on 20.3 before, but that was via online upgrades, not reinstalls. In this case, my ssd failed, and I wound up having to reinstall from scratch and that did not work. Then the bios upgrade was indicated, and I think the flash froze the Mobo, ...

Re: Install Linux Mint 21.1 from USB stick

thanks. After a lot of experimentation, this problem has morphed a bit. what do you like to know about my system besides what is in my signature? I am installing the 21.1 from USB. I never get far enough to be able to select compatibility mode. It hangs after the first b&W LM logo. However, Besi...

Re: Dragon HS-Gen-25 Logitech H570e - PAVU?

Dragon has been horrible for support. Will only entertain support for use with their own software. Meanwhile I have switched to a Logitech H570e, and I am able to make the headset work but not the microphone. I am going to have to try it on a Windows machine. My main problem was echo, so I can now s...

Re: Converting data in a text string to spreadsheet data

Eventually, it actually went off into a private discussion off of the LiberOffice user group

The solution was more efficient outside of LibreOffice, first parsting the .txt file into a .csv and then to go into Libre Office and do the rest.

Re: Detecting MicroSD - Mint 20.3

Right, to a degree. At least I can work with the external card reader, Next time I open the machine I can try to figure out if anything is wrong with that hookup, for the device per see appears "live."

Converting data in a text string to spreadsheet data [SOLVED]

I use a scientific instrument which stores data on MicroSD.

The resulting text file is really a long string of data,

Var1: valuie1 Var2: value2... VarZ: valueZ

I want to convert these textstrings into spreadsheet data rowes/columns

What is the best way to do the conversion?

Then I tried again with a plug-in USB card reader and I cannot see the MicroSD card that way either, although the device lights up, to say it is detecting the card. what's to do, or how do I work a...
