Why not just leave /sda5 there, but reformat it so that you have all that drive space for future use? You can either back everything up to recreate your partitions. Or, maybe just use that space from within Tricia by keeping /sda5 and mounting it somewhere at boot, depending on what you want to use ...

Also, are you using Windows on this machine?

I'm not sure why you would need to use legacy bios. You should probably be installing Mint with UEFI. If you have windows on this machine, you may need to disable secure boot and fast boot in windows.

Does the drive even show up when you do:

Code: Select all

lsblk -a

or

Code: Select all

inxi -dop

It sounds like you may not be identifying it properly to mount it. And partition data may be corrupted. You may need to recover the partition. But the device should still show up if connected properly and operating.

I've been thinking of trying this one:

With a 120GB SSD and 8GB RAM it comes in about $290.

Just connect an HDMI out on the computer to an HDMI in on the TV, and it will recognize it as a second monitor, and you will be able to select the option to mirror. The Roku part really doesn't come into play.

You need more detail where the error is occurring. There's lots of files in /usr which should open, especially if you are running the desktop. Don't know what would be connected to removing nodejs, though. Try lsof +c 15 +D /usr/bin/ and see if anything there looks related. And try cat /var/log/dpkg...

Interesting. The easiest way I know to have a second display, different resolution, is to just log on as another user on another tty, and run startx -- :1 . But that doesn't give you any flexibility to move things between the two, not really practical for workflow, most of the time. Unless what you ...

Try the instructions here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/472850/brightness-control-in-ubuntu-14-04-on-sony-vaio#514396 It looks like this should be right for your machine: Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" ...

Likely a driver issue, and if it works in 18.04, it will probably be fixed in 19, which should be ready for release before the end of this month. But you should be able to get it working in 18. Some broadcom models especially need a driver installation, for example. Need the info from the inxi comma...

1. stat /usr/bin/python - pour voir que par défaut est toujours python 2.7 2. inxi -Fxxz - pour nous de voir les informations système, le bureau, kernel, etc. 3. cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep "EE\|WW" , dmesg -l err and cat ~/.xsession-errors|tail -30 pour voir les messages d'erreur 4. peut...

Try:

Code: Select all

lsof +D /usr|grep nodejs

Since most all files installed by nodejs have "nodejs" somewhere in the filename or path, that should catch most all of them (it will take a little time to run, though). If that finds any open files, you can kill the process listed by PID using:

Code: Select all

kill -9 PID

Maybe try what is suggested here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/792161/ ... om-suspend

acerimusdux

Try this:

Code: Select all

apt install --reinstall resolvconf

That should work. If it doesn't, you can try to restore the missing symlink directly:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -nsf ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

Well you shouldn't need to put anything there in the connection info for the nameserver (DNS server), that should be blank, it should be getting that from the router if dhcp is working. Try this: cat /var/log/syslog|grep "NetworkManager\|dhclient" I can't figure why there appears to be no ...

acerimusdux

Have you tried changing the DNS server on the router? Maybe the one being provided by your ISP isn't working properly. Some public ones you can try: Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 OpenDNS: 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222 You could also try: systemd-resolve google.com to verify that DNS isn't working ...

acerimusdux

Maybe a dns issue. Maybe try changing the router DNS to something else (like google 8.8.8.8 ) Can you ping outside adresses?

There's aparently an issue with Virtualbox guest additions:

viewtopic.php?f=143&t=266478

Try:

Code: Select all

apt remove virtualbox-guest*

and if that doesn't resolve it, then:

Code: Select all

apt install --reinstall cinnamon
sudo systemctl restart mdm

acerimusdux

First thought, since machines are identical, only one having problems, is that problems like this can sometimes be caused by a power supply issue. If you can't find anything else wrong, I'd be tempted to switch the power supplies, and see if the same machine still has a problem. First though, check ...

acerimusdux

Ah yes.

Per the above, try:

Code: Select all

apt remove virtualbox-guest*

and if that doesn't work:

Code: Select all

apt install --reinstall plasma-desktop
sudo systemctl restart mdm

At least I think that's right, but I don't really know the KDE edition.

Most aspects of the appearance are highly customizable. But the details will depend on which desktop you are using. And to take things from other desktops, other distros, even Windows, generally requires converting things manually from whatever format is used by one desktop to a theme format used by...
