For those of you that were having a problem with the foxclone.com website yesterday, it is back up and running.

I don't think any 32 bit processor can handle UEFI but I may be wrong. Are you sure you're running an Atom Z2760 processor and not a Snapdragon processor which is 64 bit?

Please open a terminal and run the following command: Copy the results and post them here to confirm your info.

pbear, I have a 1TB M2 card in a case that I use to do web dev work and to test distros on. Never have to worry about messing up my main machine.

Another option for a portable full install instead of a flash drive, is an M2 card in a case. Prices for 256GB M2 SATA cards have dropped as well as the price for the cases. They're not much larger than a flash drive and are much more reliable and long lasting. A true SSD not much larger than a flas...

@rene - I don't have a ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata folder. Maybe that's the problem.

This has been a major annoyance for me for years. In normal mode, my preferences are set to list mode. Whenever I open a folder as root, Nemo defaults to icon mode and even if I go into preferences and change it to list mode, Nemo disregards the setting. Does anyone have a solution other than going ...

Have you created a network connection? If not, go into network connections and create one.

Got it fixed by changing the line: to and removing the reference to $workdir in the line starting with -b

Kadaitcha Man, thanks for the reply. I've double checked the location several times. I even copied the file to a different location and used the actual location in the script instead of using the variable.

I'm using xorisso to build an iso using the following script: #!/bin/bash # The example names get mapped to their roles here orig_iso="$HOME"/iso/foxclone.iso new_iso="$HOME"/iso/foxclone025-02.iso mbr_template="$HOME"/isohdpfx.bin workdir="$HOME"/work echo $HOME echo $workdir is workdir # Extract M...

Solved by first deleting sda1 (EFI) and sda2 (/) with GParted then reinstalling

trytip, it wont boot from a USB that's EFI, only Legacy. I need EFI support.

g'night.

I spoke to early, on reboot I'm back to the grub prompt.

Going to bed. Will work on it tomorrow.

@rene - that took me to the login and desktop. A big thank you. Now I'll edit fstab so it has the correct UUID.

@rene thanks for the effort but it didn't work. The UUID has changed and I get the following message. :mount: /: can't find UUID=xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxxx

Is there a way to mount a partition by identifying the UUID? I got the new id by running blkid.

Thanks for the reply, Rick. I'm the only user on this machine. For some reason, the entire partition is now read only so can't edit anything. I'm running 19.3 and set a root password so I may try logging into tty1 as root and changing permissions. Note: I found that I can boot from a legacy USB, but...

This started with a problem getting my machine to boot at all (see https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=308349 ). I managed to get it to a tty1 prompt and ran blkid and cat /etc/fstab and found an error for sda2(/) UUID in fstab. Now I need to know how to edit fstab while in a tty promp...

I managed to get to a tty login using the following: grub> set root=(hd1,gpt2) grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.0.0-37-generic root=/dev/sda2 grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-5.0.0-37-generic grub> boot Ran blkid and cat /etc/fstab and found an error for sda2(/) UUID in fstab. Now I need to know how to edit...

Per subject, I'm unable to post any information about the machine. It is a refurbished Thinkpad T450 and was working fine earlier today. I've run all available test thru the bios and all came out OK. I was able to run boot repair disk but that only made things worse. Now can't even boot from USB. I'...
