Re: Sideeffect of LMDE6

Don't let them brow beat you :) I haven't even seen anything above ver 102. I heard about the problems so I didn't update. I think that has been going on for more than 5 months now.

Re: Width of Desktop Icons

So Libre Calc bases the desktop icon width on the presumed width of the print range area.
That is a bit surprising - even to me. I did not expect that.

I turn off thumbnails as a default after every new installation, and also select List view in Preferences. So I don't see this stuff.

Re: Linux Mint didn't work with cell phones?

A side issue is your root partition is way too full:
ID-1: / size: 456.88 GiB used: 425.89 GiB (93.2%)
That is likely to give you other problems.

Re: Linux Mint permanently freezes randomly, Intel CPU

do you think it's worth checking if i can update the BIOS That is often worth doing 5-10 years after you buy the computer new. But for reasons other than this problem you had. I think i've narrowed down the possible cause of the freezes. I'm now on the 6.5 Kernel and i have turned off hardware acce...

Re: Flatpak apps taking a very long time to load

"Can't get document portal mount path" This is rather drastic measures: I would consider renaming ~/.local and ~/.config so that both append -OLD to the end. Then restart LM. ~/.local and ~/.config will be recreated. If the problem is gone, then selectively start copying directories back ...

Re: dpkg not working on recovery mode

Hello and welcome to the forum.
how can i fix this?
I would log into the Live Boot and restore a Timeshift snapshot.

Can you give us some history on this? It used to boot fine, but then . . .
Or this is a brand new install of what?

Re: HDD shows 0Bytes in lsblk

If it is a new drive you might want to put a GPT partition on it, and then format the rest of it EXT4. What are your plans with this drive?

Gee. You know better than me that you are getting into a VERY big topic here. Heck, I don't even fully understand why knowledge of how apt works is so important - even though I know that it is obviously used to get all software. I suggest you get on some developer forums. Stackoverflow maybe? https:...

The following signatures could not be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E88979FB9B30ACF2
See if this helps when typing this in a terminal:

Re: Suspend option is missing in the quit menu

Ideas?
I suggest you start your own topic and post the inxi output requested above.
After the latest upgrade I have the same issue.
One option is to Timeshift back and figure out what update breaks suspend. Then don't apply that update for a while.
