Re: password for SHUTDOWN

I never thought "reboot" or "shutdown -r" was a fancy command.

Me on the other hand will continue to type "init 0" and "init 6" and "nobody can stop me" from doing so :)

Code: Select all

//192.168.0.14/data  /home/sparky/shares/Rigel/Data cifs user=sparky,pass=*****,uid=1000,gid=1000,_netdev,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,user 0       0\

Re: How users A and B can access the same USB drive ?

Here is what you could do 1) Have a common user group for both accounts ( create a new one or use an existing one, that's up to you ) 2) Make sure that both users belong to that common group ( ideally have that common group as primary group ) 3) If needed : change all files (of the USB drive) group ...

Re: Broken Kodi and Updates

It could be a combination of Kodi and new drivers and your hardware.

I had a similar experience in the past ( I don't remember version and updates ) : kodi did not play well for some vidoes but VLC did on one particular PC.

Re: Using newest Python versions (Or: "When One plays with a Python, One usually gets bit...lol.")

Yes you can, as long as you install it in your personal directory .

Don't change the default python version that comes with Linux mint.

Last thought : how to you think that linux mint develops and tests their version ? By using another OS ?

Re: No network access after upgrading linux-headers

Just to make sure that you booted with the old kernel ( no offense ) please run

Code: Select all

uname -a > tmp.txt
And then run the following to display your network interface information

Code: Select all

nmcli device show >> tmp.txt
Post tmp.txt and maybe some other people could help

No you can not.

This is a tiny upgrade, it does not take long time nor a lot of download. You should be performing the upgrade online

1) btrfs check show that quota is enable on your PC. Maybe you enable, or maybe timeshift has enable it ( the default and "recommended" by timeshift ). Rescan hasn't been initialized, a difference in qgroup accounting is expected Qgroup are marked as inconsistent. Counts for qgroup id: 0/...

Re: BTRFS disk full and deleting files has no effect (Linux Mint 20.1)

If eveything goes fine, could you do a check only no repair on /dev/sda5 and post the output, I would like to compare it with what we've seen before.

Boot with your linux installation medium

Code: Select all

btrfs check  /dev/sda5

Here is I suggest : 1) Post : attempt to identify the cause dmesg | tail - 100 2) Boot with linux mint installation media 3) Run repair again 10 times ( 10 is a complete abitrary number - there is no scientific reason behind it ) 4) Mount it to see if you can write ( after let say 2 m...
