Re: External monitor don't turn off

If the external monitor is connected to the mains and the on/off switch (if there is one) is in the "on" position (electricity reaches the monitor), there is no way to turn it off (in the real sense of the concept) by software. For fun, this would only be possible with "mind power&quo...

Re: Loop partitions

But they are probably snap applications. If you don't have snap applications installed, the loop devices shown with "lsblk -a" are probably devices mounted in ram memory or "places" reserved for them (if the size is zero). Check that the set of "gvfs" packages are prob...

Re: LM 21.3 XFCE Danger in "Recent" folder (Problem solved!)

... The Recent folder has good use, but it should be for accessing recent apps and files, not for permanently deleting those items. Removing the app or file from the list, without perm deleting is acceptable. No harm, no foul. Note: The Recent folder only shows recently opened files, it does not sh...

Re: OS not detecting SSD in "Disks"

You have the machine and the manual in your hands.
Just go into setup and see if the SSD is recognized.
The path is:
System Information -> Device Information
Don't change anything at first, just observe.

Re: Verrouiller un device usb en écriture (hdparm -r1 /dev/sdXx)

Je ne connais pas de logiciel public de ce type.
Peut-être que seul le fabricant de l'appareil le possède.

Re: Verrouiller un device usb en écriture (hdparm -r1 /dev/sdXx)

Hdparm est conçu pour les disques IDE ou SATA "mécaniques".
Il n'y a aucune garantie qu'il fonctionnera sur les lecteurs flash.
À mon avis, il est difficile pour un logiciel générique de contourner le micrologiciel du fabricant de l'appareil.

Re: linux mint virginia

Installo una versione più recente di LM solo quando quella che sto usando e che funziona bene perde il supporto o sta per perderlo.

Ho installato LM 21.3 XFCE e funziona bene, a parte il pericolo della cartella "Recent" (vedi: viewtopic.php?t=413704).
