Re: Deleting an unwanted distribution and partition
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 ...

Re: No OS message
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.

Re: No OS message
Does the drive even show up when you do:

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.

Re: Way to screen mirror to Roku?
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.

Re: "Device or resource busy" Can't delete nodejs package, can't install updates because the system wants me to delete i
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...

Re: same monitor, different workspace resolutions
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 ...

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...

Try:
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
lsof +D /usr|grep nodejs
Code: Select all
kill -9 PID

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 ...

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 ...

Re: After long idle, resume screen awakes but only mouse will move
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 ...
