Thank you a lot, I will give up, I didn't see this very, very, very simple solution and I look for more complicated ones. Again many thanks!!!!!!!!

There is a very good chance I don't understand the question. I created a Thunar custom action: Edit as Root: EditAsRootTCA.png I right click /etc/samba/smb.conf, select Edit as Root and am prompted for password: EditAsRootTCA-Prompt.png And I'm good to go: EditAsRootTCA-Open.png I do exactly the sa...

In the Thunar dialogue box, where you create / modify the user defined action, you paste the commandline xed admin://%f Commandline explanation: xed : the executable name xed admin:// : prefix, which tells xed that the filename following the prefix has to be opened with root privileges %f : the %f ...

Even if I give higher priority to mousepad still do not work at custom actions. update-alternatives --config gnome-text-editor There are 3 choices for the alternative gnome-text-editor (providing /usr/bin/gnome-text-editor). Selection Path Priority Status --------------------------------------------...

Hello karlchen, thanks for your reply, the command works at the terminal but not at custom actions of Thunar. ~ $ xed admin://%/etc/fstab ** (xed:4281): WARNING **: 07:37:36.514: The specified location is not mounted At custom actions works Open root folder the command "pkexec thunar %F". ...

It works on LMDE 5 XFCE, but not on Mint 20.3.

Check if this happens with the earlier kernel if you do regular updates, you will find them at grub's advanced options.

Be again sure it is the sdb the default usb because this command will delete everything. It is the ultimate solution after that the recycling bin. It will take some time.

^^^ WHat he sid, it's useless fro judging popularity. I think the interesting thing is that there are 272 distros listed. Ridiculous. There are 272 distros listed, why? Because from the main distros each one of them lack basic functionalities, one send link to desktop the other not easily, others i...

I'm on Cinnamon, and keep everything up to date, but for the past few days I've been noticing a lag with the laptop touchpad mouse and it's also dropping input/clicks a lot. I'm not sure if it's something I recently installed, but I think aside from the mouse there is no other lag, i.e. everything ...

Thanks for your reply. But aren't LM20.3 and LMDE5 both Ubuntu? And they are both on the same SSD. I can select either one from my Grub boot menu but I want 20.3 to be the default so it will start automatically if I don't do anything. And I am pretty sure I am booting UEFI. But I haven't gone into ...

Good that you have Linux on your laptop. Don't forget to use the Timeshift backup of your distribution after the installation. If you post the command I asked you, maybe you can install also easily Linux Mint. Having two Linux OS in your laptop is better than one.

I was watching the popularity of the Linux Distros and all of them go down, maybe Linux turns to Windows? Technology has the tendency to control everything, but Life has its own rules!

At least somebody managed to install a Linux version on this laptop:

Can you post the outcome of the commands in code brackets so it will look like these commands?

I had an issue lately with the grub theme of MX 21 and by removing it is solved my problem. I tried to remove the grub theme of LMDE 5, but it is locked, which means if I remove it will break the system. At Mint 20 the grub theme is optional, why in LMDE 5 is locked?

It will restore the boot folder and perhaps the missing file of the Windows. It is the first step, before it will solve it from the Windows. If you have time you must explain, how you want to manage to do 2 holy wonders in one step, where normal, mortal humans are not even able to do one of them. :...

I don't think either of those tools are meant for Windows...
