Re: forgot root password
You can do that but it is NOT recommended. Use an administrative account - with sudo.

Re: forgot root password
You can use the instructions I gave previously - viewtopic.php?p=1542069#p1417543
to set a user (administrative) password for user lm19-home
You might then, after that, have to make sure that user lm19-home is a member of the sudo group.

Re: Partitions SSD64 + 1TB hdd with docs from Win7
There is an anomaly that I noted when looking at the /data partition prior to moving it: GParted indicated there was roughly 12GB used in that partition, and yet I've never written anything to it ... I believe you are referring to sda2 - and that would not be a "data" partition in linux t...

Re: Linux Mint Fatal Error
That is to be expected. You have to do some fancy linux tricks to install Grub from the live Mint. Open a terminal and enter all these commands: Mount the root partition at /mnt: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done sudo chroot /mnt The p...

Re: Linux Mint Fatal Error
Mint is installed on /dev/sdb
Try installing Grub to /dev/sdb and then set that hard drive to be the first in the boot order.

Re: Installed Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon but cannot boot Windows 8.1 anymore
Where do I verify in which mode Windows was installed ? AND Where do I make sure - during installation - that Linux is being installed in such and such mode ? I'm asking this because I suspect that is what might have caused this problem. No - installing in the wrong mode was not the problem. The fa...

Re: Cinnamon vs Mate
I consider the Cinnamon file manager (Nemo) to be much better than the Mate file manager (Caja). That is one of the deciding factors for me. Would appreciate if you could expound on this. Concerning the appearance, I like the more compact toolbar arrangement in Nemo - where you can add and delete t...

Hopefully, a person with more knowledge of Mate can help.
