I was very happy to hear that an alternative actually exists! The lack of decent GUI software is hurting Mint efforts to be an alternative desktop for Apple and Windows. Test run of Unison however was incredibly slow. I left it running for a couple of hours to see it was not even at about 10% (educa...

I agree with AndyMH that this is a secure boot problem. Turning off secure boot can be tricky in some UEFI/Bios. Sometimes just turning secure boot off does the trick, like it should in my opinion. But you may not be able to do that without setting an admin password first. Sometimes windows OS and o...

Raycoupe is on point with qredshift recommendation I used to install redshift the more...manual way the OP outlined earlier in this topic years ago..but qredshift applet is so much easier to get up and going and hasn't crashed or caused any problems for me yet in more than 3 years of using it inste...

My suggestion is you either look into the unison option..... Thanks for the suggestion! Have installed that for a test now. Unison-gtx version works, Unison without gtk doesn't start at all. It's now doing its first scan, at a very slow pace and when I minimize the window, activate it or resize it,...

Then grep the massive log to display the lines you are interested to see. If you have thousands of files to be updated, well... what can you do, you will have to review that as there are thousands of files :lol: You've pinpointed my problem. I can't see a way of grep being able to get out of that l...

For NTFS volumes this doesn't work I found out. I had to edit fstab and add uid=<username> to the mount, explained in this post:viewtopic.php?p=2049657#p2049657 I didn't use fmask and dmask options...

Hello Raycoupe Unfortunately i'm already on "display percentage" (i forgot to mention it) Ah, you mean adding the percentages of your usb devices. Nope, not with this applet and I don't have any good suggestions for usb devices. There is one for bluetooth devices, Bluetooth battery. Senso...

First and most important question, how do you check the output to see which files and folders are to be created, moved, deleted or updated on the source and target location? I need to review what's going to change, it has saved me from stupid mistakes many times. With (G)Rsync I get massive logs. I...

I need an actual copies of my files, to continue working on my second computer, or edit stuff when I'm working on another computer (Apple, MS) at an organization or friends house. For now I use FreeFileSync to mirror/sync my data (on ext4, ntfs. It was not created for Linux and it shows in it's inte...

Right click the icon and select configure. You can select time remaining, percentage or both.

Perhaps you could do the same creating your own Actions. Actions are a new function. https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2486

Please post output of terminal command: lsblk That way, we can see the configuration of your disk and Linux partitions. If I understand correctly, you didn't do anything to your linux installation, only reinstalled Win10 on the new ssd. When windows is booting correctly, you only have to reinstall ...

Hello, so i installed redshift to install night light. But I can't configure in which time it will be turned on. By default its only after sunset. But I want to use it whole day. Can someone help me with that? So that I can use it the time I will set to use it. Or any other app which will help me t...

Excuse me. It is Linux Mate. I believe the issue is how to get the computer to mount from USB as I am uncertain how to do that in UEFI rather than in Lagacy? You mean boot from usb with LM Mate iso. I misunderstood, thought it already booted... What password is missing? The installed OS, Windows an...

They want to get back to their computer just as they left it. Have open program windows with their preferred sizes and locations, etc. You could auto start a bunch of programs, but most programs don't remember their last window size and location. I do auto start my FF and it does remember window siz...

Thank you for your response. As you may have surmised, I do not know what I am doing. You should use UEFI mode. I don't know Ubunte Mate (it's another distro and desktop). If the usb boots, you can install. If only one drive in the computer and you want to just delete windows completely and erase a...

It would be interesting to know if updating the kernel actually helped. Because I'm running 5.15 and newest available nvidia driver from on a i9 13900K with nvidia graphics without any issues. It's a Desktop, not a Laptop, but is it such a huge difference nowadays? A kernel contains drivers for all...

Please explain what the above two are, and how they differ in function and, which should I use to boot from the USB described above. Boot Option Priorities set boot order of different device...

Before logging in here again I made half a dozen reboots, first with Mint and then in a mixed order with windows and never saw the grub prompt again.

PPS, please edit your first post in this topic and add [SOLVED] to your title.
