Hi, does that hold true when using GParted? Saw another thread on the similar subject of getting ext4 format on flash drive, recommendation was to use GParted?

Thank you.

enabled write cache on SSD, however, could not do so for flash drive.

As promised I picked up a Patriot Flash Drive Supersonic BOOST USB 3.1 Gen 1 with Reads up to 150.mb/s. Using it Caja I got same results, big burst of speed, then a slow till finally it hit 29 mb/s and there it stayed, or near by. Tried it in Double Commander and Thunar with a bit more speed.

Those flash drives are twice as much here in Canada, I went looking and found a Patriot 32gb, going to give it a spin and see, I will post what I get for speeds.

So, better flash drives? Verbatim, Kingston, Sony, Sandisk, ones make by the makers of memory chips? Crucial?

Hi all, I copied a file from an external usb 3.0 device to my internal SSD. Speeds were around 105.xx mb sec.. Copied the same file from SSD to USB 3.0 flash drive and speeds dropped to 26 mb sec while copying. Using Caja as file manager, tried Double Commander which seemed to have better speeds tha...

Hello,

Your last question about an anti-virus for Mint is CLAMAV, you will find in in the software manager.

I have installed 19.3 and have noticed something that doesn't work. I have been to Github, read some of the errors posted there, however I do not understand where and how to post errors, and the need for a Github account and to have a trial version of a program, that sounds like I will be eventually...

Thanks pbear.

I am currently using 19.3 Tricia and have discovered that Timeshift will work from the menu okay. I use Docky and placed Timeshift app in Docky, however it will not function from Docky. Other than that it worked fine.

If you are not planning to use Mint, I would see if the OS you are going to use has a Forum such as this one, or in a Linux Forum. Also posting in a Windows Forum may get you some answers also. When I did use Windows, it was always on my machine first before any other OS was installed. Linux Grub wo...

If this has been taken as far as it can or you need to full fill another question, I would conclude this one. And repost.

Go back to your original question and write SOLVED at the end of it.

Hope you find your answer.

says the repository is missing. Or something along those lines Okay, Open your Update Manager: Its where the Green Check Mark on your lower right hand screen near the date and time. Click on it to open the manager. Under Edit, you can check where your software choices are located, if your in Canada...

Type "boot" in that box.2 options come up, one says Boot Repair. Click on it.Choose" recommended repair". And let ...

I have had that issue. Grub is missing . Windows has done that too me twice. Boot up with Live CD or Flash Drive, there is a Repair Boot in the live version. Select it and let it do its thing. I don't use Windows any more, hope this helps. If not someone will notice the post and give you other advic...

Having come from an Epson 810 and 835, Mint found them with no difficulty, I chose a new printer based on price, and purchased a HP 6978, Mint found it no problem. Never experienced Brother products.
BTW, I joined the HP Ink Club @ 3.99 Canadian dollars, and it suits my ink purchasing.

That's awesome for you :) I prefer google-chrome for a browser and Deluge has features qBitTorrent didn't have last I checked (like the ability to run a headless daemon doing the downloading work, and administrate it through a client GUI on separate machines). To be clear, magnet links *are* workin...

Hello,
If you open Disks from the menu, you should see your external drive listed if it is plugged in.Select your drive. Click on the 2 cogs and you will have a menu. Scroll down to "Edit mount Options", and select "mount at system start-up" .

Please advise me of the results.

Cheers!

HI,
I am using Firefox with qBitTorrent, magnets work just fine in that combination.
