The desktop shortcut script works - credit to Trytip
Couldn't get the others to work though.

Have you got an entry in
Driver Manager for the Touchpad?

Hi. Just updated/upgraded to 19.2 from 19.1 Cinnamon Tara. All went well except for a couple of tiny hiccups which I thought I'd post in case it helps someone else. After the files had been downloaded and applied - went to reboot and a black screen came up for less than a second with several 'reset ...

Thanks Hoser

Hi Smurphos or anyone passing, just to clarify.....
With Guest user, unless they have another user's or root's password, they definitely can't screw up the system can they?

Thanks.

Nice one.
There have been a couple of other posts recently about the same sort of problem.
Hopefully a nice easy fix for more people also.
At least your solution is searchable now.

Hi, Yep you're right. Its full..... Can you post back with the output to sudo fdisk -l Also, looking at my /boot directory, there are a couple of older kernels in there at 60MB odd. Go to system updates, Tools Kernel updates Continue Remove Kernel If there are more than 2 there, remove some of the o...

Hi,
Not saying you should re-install straight away, but why can't you access your DVD drive?
Can you put a copy of Mint 19.1 on a USB drive if it comes to it?

Hi,
Have you got Timeshift pointing at that partition by any chance?

Can you type the following in terminal and post the result back....

Hi, The trouble with FAT is that you won't be able to put Clonezilla/Redo/Macrium backups on it as it is limited to max file size of 4GB. (Actually you can but have to specify to split the backups up into <4GB files) As Andy said, EXT4 for Timeshift but for your home backups you can use NTFS if you ...

Hi, You can set it to backup to wherever you like. However, if it is set up to do quite a few backups (it can be set to do hourly/daily/week/month/boot/on demand) it can swallow up all the space on your partition and it has led to a few ppl having problems. If you set up a partition just for the Tim...

Hi, Can you go into BIOS (at boot, press the blue button at top of keyboard) Disable Secure boot Change boot order so USB drive goes to top of list before internal hard drive (post back if you are unsure how to do this). Save the options and reboot with the USB drive inserted and with a little luck ...

With Timeshift - you may have problems if you don't use it on another drive - or make a partition just for Timeshift. 75GB should be enough. 100GB when your'e first starting out but can change that later on. Timeshift is a equivalent to System Restore, but it can screw your sytem if you point it to ...

Hi, Hope all is well in Serbia - hot? Probably best to let us know your hardware also - RAM / CPU / HDD (spinny or SSD) I can help you with a couple of the questions though. 7) I don't think Acronis works with EXT4 file system. I was a bit miffed with this as had just purchased it when my Windows we...

Use the following command sudo chown -R -v $USER:$USER $HOME It will take care of all the folders you added anywhere in the /home folder. Hi. So just to deconstruct the command a little.... Would one of the following command give permissions to the current user for all devices mounted in the /mnt d...

:roll: Hi Moem, I thought that was the one that gm meant. "Is this about Update Manager from my PPA?" Didn't realise his one was on another PPA. Just thought he meant it was on his system in Software Manager. One day I'll figure out how to chew gum and walk at the same time. Luckily, it didn't do an...

YOU SIR, ARE A GENIUS

Many thanks gm.
All is working well.

Just to make it clear for others.
I hadn't installed your PPA and had installed another Mint update manager that was on the Software Manager. That is now uninstalled and your PPA installed. Ran that from menu and all was well.

I think its your one that I've installed.... possibly. "update-manager" "version 1:18.04.11.10" "GNOME application that manages apt update" It has a button to that takes me to TimeShift but it doesn't have a tick box to select auto On-Demand backup. So it might not be yours. In menu, when I type in ...

Nice one gm.
Appreciated.

Is there a way to set up on-demand Time shift to run automatically when updating?
