An very very new to Linux. Am looking for vpn in order to do my banking on line. Why do you need a VPN for banking? Your connection to the bank should already be encrypted if the bank uses SSL, so the VPN won't make it any safer. If you use a VPN then you're relying on that company to keep their se...

If you Google "calibre obok" then you'll probably see why the TC wasn't a little more forthcoming about what he wanted to do with Calibre...

Try Visual Studio Code for your IDE. It supports every language you're ever likly to encounter.

If you're looking for language suggestions then maybe have a look at Python. But you will file that pretty much every language has a Linux version available. Another interesting language is Lua.

In the *.nemo_action file you can specify file extensions that the action should be applied to: # What extensions to display on - this is an array, end with a semicolon # Single entry options, ending in a semicolon: # "dir" for directory selection # "none" for no extension. # "nodirs" for any select...

Nice website but with Youtube nowadays everything is so much simpler by watching a video than having to read how it's done, no? Sure, and there are several Youtube videos that show you how to use Clonezilla. But if Clonezilla is ever changed then I'm guessing that the official website that I linked...

Does Clonezilla automatically leave out all the free disk space?

Yes, only used space is backed up.

Lots of info and screenshots are at https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live-doc.php

I think, after half hour or so, we'll see that we managed to image the blank USB to the boot drive.
But, I could be wrong.

I sure hope not after all the effort you two have put into this...

Ooo this is exciting! Can't wait to see what happens next...

Back in the mid 80's I had a Casio FX-790P which had 8KB of RAM, BASIC and assembler. I had it up until a few years ago when I finally threw it out because it stopped working.

Remember the old days before optical mice, when we used to have to open them up and clean the little rollers because they'd collect lots of dust and gunk? Ah, the gold ol' days...

I don't encounter it always, but rather randomly. Maybe only when I have a Youtube vid playing in the background..?

Ah, that could be it. I've never tried playing a video in the browser and another in VLC at the same time (I can only concentrate on one thing at a time!)

Your only consideration here is that LINUX is NOT Windows so, whilst it will perform the same tasks as Windows, You may have to learn some new procedures to do them. Not unlike purchasing a new car, you know it's capable of getting you from point A to point B, but some of the buttons and controls a...

For what it's worth I use Opera and VLC all the time, never had a problem like you describe.

Maybe something like:
Obviously you would replace game.zip with the actual filename of the ROM file that you want to play.

Iced tea is something I've never tried. I saw it on prominent sale in a number of places in the likes of Spain, Madeira, Italy, Belgium, Czech Repiblic, Turkey etc. but didn't really notice it in Kenya. It seems that most Brits (myself included) and many in former colonies find the idea of drinking...

Yeah a daily trim seems overkill to me, weekly should be fine for most people.

Ah, the magic of Halon! Allegedly, it wouldn't poison you, but it diluted the existing oxygen fairly thoroughly.

Yeah I think they were just trying to scare me (it worked!)
