Hi,

I have a problem with Timeshift: it doesn't exclude the directories I have selected to be excluded in the settings. Below is an image of the filters, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

Whatever option you choose, add it to ~/.local/share/applications/Thunar.desktop There is no Thunar.desktop at that place. :) I'm back to this because I got another answer about that in another thread I started . There was an easier way, easier than the one I've been using so far: 1) create a scrip...

But you can combine the two commands by putting them in a two-line script in your $HOME/bin directory: thunar "/home/username/Applications/Unity Technologies/" & sh -c "xdotool search --name 'unity technologies - gestionnaire de fichiers' windowmove 5 5 windowsize 640 360" &...

i am not sure but i think adding && should do the job try this, if it works thunar "/home/username/Applications/Unity Technologies/" && sh -c "xdotool search --name 'unity technologies - gestionnaire de fichiers' windowmove 5 5 windowsize 640 360" Oops, I should ...

Hi, I have a launcher with the following command: thunar "/home/username/Applications/Unity Technologies/" and another launcher with the following command: sh -c "xdotool search --name 'unity technologies - gestionnaire de fichiers' windowmove 5 5 windowsize 640 360" Both launche...

It probably works everywhere as long as the videos where uploaded on YouTube first. Here, if you are using it, can you download the videos on that page? https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/enemies-b# (Scroll down the page, no need for an account to watch the videos.) Can you download sound files too, ...

No, youtube-dl as its name doesn't inform about it, works everywhere or almost ... believe it, it's incredible It probably works everywhere as long as the videos where uploaded on YouTube first.

My prediction is you will see no significant difference in the long run. The RAM usage I reported was with NoScript set on severe JS limitations, although the sites I opened were partially "Trusted", so JS was allowed for the main site. I never allow JS on googlesyndication, googletagmana...

The biggest difference I can find is to run NoScript or equivalent. Firefox is trim and light when Web sites are not using Javascript to download massive files of advertising junkware. I can run Firefox all day with multiple tabs in less than 200 MB. Thanks for the advice! :) I just added NoScript ...

I also set Timeshift to run daily and I keep seven snapshots, plus the first one I did after installation (on demand). They are all stored on a separate partition set on an also separate drive, just in case. You might think "it's using both a belt and suspenders but, well, I sometimes had to go...

... But I cannot complain about it because Cinnamon and Linux Mint is one of the best duos I've ever tried.

Did you try Xfce? I never used Cinnamon nor felt the need to use it.

So, I took a closer look at how Firefox works. From my observations, I gather that: the result of setting the number of subprocesses the task manager will show for Firefox to 1 (instead of 8 ) somehow works. The task manager shows up to 3 sub-processes but one is used by uBlock Origin and another on...

All right, I give up about Pale Moon; it's mostly good but some web-sites do not work properly, load slowly and there are customizations that are missing that make the use of this web browser uncomfortable for me. Oh well, at least I've tried.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Releases · JustOff/ca-archive · GitHub This add-on contains all Firfox xul add-ons for Firefox indside for Pale Moon. You install it and get to anything you want. Menu > Add-Ons > Install from file. After installation of the add-on Open Tools on the menu bar (press F10 to show menu bar) and click C...

Many thanks to phd21, t42, absque fenestris (you guys have serious usernames! :p ) I managed and find how to install Pale Moon from that page: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:stevenpusser&package=palemoon. After installation and a basic customization, it takes 631 MB of ...

Thank you very much for your advice guys!

I tried Midori and it doesn't work very well; customization is lousy at best. I could try Pale Moon but I cannot find it in the store; I guess it's not to be used with Xfce? I'm trying to find it on the web.

I'm using Firefox but it takes more and more ram, currently up to 1.2 GB, so I'd like to switch to a light web browser, or at least one that uses a lot less ram, up to 500/600 MB would suit me, knowing that I need to keep four or five tabs constantly open. I searched the web and it appears that Ligh...

... Timeshift is not intended for backing up data...

You can use Timeshift to backup your entire Home. It's true that it doesn't backup data that are on other drives but you don't need those to upgrade do you?

RTFM means, in terms fit for polite company: Read The Fine* Manual.

*Or Fornicating. Again, in polite terms.

Ah, okay! English is not my mother tongue, acronyms can be a tad cryptic to me.

I don't like that it just works out of the box! I want to have to get frustrated, be told to RTFM, have endless agony of device drivers, painful dependency h*ll, obscure instructions, endless boot issues, and unsupported hardware! Now let me go find my hair shirt, it is around here somewhere! Only ...
