Re: Thunderbird 115.3.1 on LInux Mint 21.2 version 5.8.4

I found a solution, which was to uninstall TB, to install the flatpak version and import my profile. After re-entering passwords for 3 accounts I now have a working email manager however I have lost the MS exchange mail account and Owl. I suspect that the unified display may be a contributory factor...

Re: Openssl to generate self-signed certificate

Hello Xenopeek,
The guilty party does seem to be the Dell Command Configure package. Having removed it, and for good mesure reinstalled openssl, I am now able generate a self-signed certificate.

The breadth of your knowledge is impressive.

Thank you.

Re: Openssl to generate self-signed certificate

From the /opt/dell/dcc/libcrypto.so.3 in the error I take it you have 2 different openssl installs on your system and in your path. That won't work correctly: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/19801 What does which openssl respond? It should be /usr/bin/openssl Try running ldd /usr/bin/open...

Re: Dell 7480 laptop freeze

The root partition could be bigger in these days of flatpak; its size is a hangover from past installations. The home partition is essentially for storing the config files as most of my files are stored in /data. I wonder if the problem could be related to the size of the swap file; this machine ha...

Re: Dell 7480 laptop freeze

Has anyone else had this problem, or can suggest an alternative video driver to try? I have not heard of this problem. The only video driver available is the one you have installed. Unless you are referring to problems viewing videos in browsers. That is a different issue. The battery on your lapto...

Re: Vera boots to (initramfs) edited

About "sdb fstab"..., it is not. It is fstab on MX21's root partition (it was mapped as sdb6 on installing but now is it shown as sda6) and I wanted to see fstab on Mint's (cloned) root partition on new SSD (current sdb2?, it is very small...) Any way, unplug new SSD and boot linux Mint l...

Re: Vera boots to (initramfs)

Boot that MX21 or Linux Mint live USB with both old and new ssd attached and post back lsblk -f and each fstab contents (old and new one). Most probably you will need to mount the one you have changed UUID (Mint root on old SSD as you said), chroot on mounted system and update initramfs...If Mint o...
