Have you tried "Save page" from a browser? (It typically has options about what to save) I actually just decided to print the pages that I am interested in to a PDF. It wasn't too much work in my case. To elaborate on that: In looking at the flags available with wget it was tough for me t...

I'm curious as to what it will do if I try copying another page from that site into the same folder. Will it create duplicates of the other folders, overwrite the existing ones, or something else? I've got a busy day ahead so will probably be later before I get another look at it. I'll return with ...

2. Mount first! Before mount "BackInTime15&VMs" is simple folder, but after mount it is not folder but mount point. This is one visible object, but real two different objects. And permission are different too. There are 2 different permissions for "BackInTime15&VMs" fold...

Or instead of chmod,
Code: Select all
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/netherprovinc3/BackInTime15&VMs
changes ownership from root to you.

shouldn't the command be

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER '/media/netherprovinc3/BackInTime15&VMs'

because of the "&" causing other behavior?

I've never used wget but this prompted my curiosity as I use a local server to build websites offline. I googled wget and used a couple of examples to try it out on a Wordpress website. Haha, great. Even a newb can occasionally open a veteran's eyes to something every now and then. To copy the comp...

I am trying to download part of a webpage using wget. Ultimately, I would like to get an offline version of the website to view on a Mac. But, I'm totally off track/ lost on the basics. I ran a command like this wget -m -k -p https://support.abc.com/product1 result: a folder named support.abc.com In...

Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon 64 bit. The external drive is a Seagate STEA2000400. I have an external drive partition that I have been using for Back In Time backups. Now I want to store a VM image on that drive, too. However, the owner and the group are both root. So, I think that's getting in the way o...

The system has 28 Linux kernels installed. I'd try using Update Manager to remove all but the most recent one or two.

Thanks. Was very easy to do using Update Manager, as you recommended.
Freed up over 11 GB of space by removing all but the most recent 3.

Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon Update manager had several updates available. Here are some of the updates that were on the list: pulseaudio grub2 grub2-signed So, I told it to do the updates. The result was this error message: I then got a popup saying that "An error occurred. The following details a...

Indeed, it's far better to apply a static IP address for your printer which should be achievable on the router. Thanks. I will add that to my to do list. I might get a new router or printer soon. So, I'll probably put off for a bit. Would be awesome if I could get a router (or other device repurpos...

I also would suggest that you install hplip-gui from synaptic and use that to set up the printer. You'll have to input the IP address you choose manually but after that it should work well. Good Luck. I just checked and I do have hplip-gui installed. It's version 3.17.10+repack0-5 Maybe I should tr...

I have an HP Officejet 8610 printer. My OS is Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon. Printing suddenly stopped working (it was working a couple of days ago). The only thing that has changed is that I have gotten some OS updates through update manager since then. I tried disconnecting the printer and reconnected ...

... but what's the downside?
If you don't have any scripts or router functions that explicitly rely on MAC addresses then there is no downside.

Thanks.

I figured out the solution need to put the -R at the end. sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/$USER/2015CmpXtraSpace -R Edit: actually no, that doesn't seem to work. But, something along the way did. Still trying to get it working on the second partition. Edit2: something along the way seems to have worke...

I recently installed a second hard drive (internal). I created 2 partitions on the drive. Right now, the ownership of each partition is permissions.png when I run sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/$USER/2015CmpXtraSpace the code seems to execute fine (no error messages given). But, the permissions st...

I searching the web, I do see the terms "securely erasing," and "wiping." Are those what you are cautioning against? Yes, that and erasing from within, for example, a disk manager such as Disks or gparted. Erase actions kill SSDs. It's best just to either delete the partitions a...

...I hope you mean that you formatted the partitions because erasing an SSD has special meaning and doing that needlessly will impact its lifetime and worthiness. I searching the web, I do see the terms "securely erasing," and "wiping." Are those what you are cautioning against?...
