Re: Confused for partitions

No, the most recent releases (21.2 or LMDE6) should fully support NTFS.

Re: Confused for partitions

Just make sure you have the installer ignore the hard drive when installing, and install to the new SSD. You could just have the installer partition it automatically for you. But I prefer to partition myself. You can do this from the installer, or do it prior to running the installer using a tool li...

Re: Random freezes

Start with checking your logs. The following command will show any important messages from the current boot: journalctl -b -p3 The -b there is really short for "-b 0", which means the current boot. The p is for "priority". The higher the number the more (and less interesting) mes...

Re: password help?

You can set sudo to only ask the password once every two hours. Just run sudo visudo and add a line that says Defaults timestamp_timeout=120 And if you wanted it to only ask the password once every boot, you could make that number negative. This only takes care of sudo though. Some of your graphical...

Re: Ensuring PC safety after customization

Okay, thank you for the replies! I did run some sudo commands when making the customizations. Just to be safe, would restoring my Mint to factory settings be enough to prevent any harmful effects that one of these commands might have? They're probably fine. If someone were telling you to run harmfu...

Re: Sublime from mintinstall Software Manager 8.0.9 asking for a license

First see what version of sublime is installed. In the software manager, it could be either from the repositories or the flatpak. Open a terminal and check: apt policy sublime-text If it was installed by apt, it will show there. Otherwise check using: flatpak list --app to see if it was installed vi...

Re: The Future of Linux

You don't seem to have a grasp on what any of this is in fact about. Source code not being provided (publicly) is once again precisely what this concerns. It has never been a requirement for them to provide it publicly, though. They do provide source publicly for all of their modifications, through...

Re: The Future of Linux

Red Hat doing precisely that is what this is all about. It took and takes the GPL-licensed Linux kernel, the GPL-licensed GNU utilities, the metric buttload of other GPL-licensed third-party software in RHEL (and the MIT-licensed X.org, the APL-licensed Apache, so on, so on), builds those component...

Re: The Future of Linux

Much like it could be unacceptable, you mean, for freeloader Red Hat to take the work of thousands upon thousands of open-source programmers that released code under the GPL, slap their license on it and call it RHEL? Red Hat has never done anything even vaguely like that, so I don't get your point.

Re: Red Hat going restricted source-maybe?

Came across this, and it appears that Alma Linux attempted to send some CVEs to Red Hat, and Red Hat rejected them. Why? https://twitter.com/geerlingguy/status/1681740266615582722 Some of this is just FUD. That was a pretty routine communication. They aren't going to automatically merge every patch...

Re: Having mixed experiences with Flatpak's

I find when there is an issue with a flatpak, usually it's something that can be fixed by tweaking the permissions in Flatseal. Once I learned how to use that tool, I've been pretty happy with flatpaks. Though I mostly only use them still for things which connect to the internet, like Firefox, Steam...

Re: Can't log on but gPart sees system

Well /dev/sda1 isn't your root partition (it's too small for that), that's why you get an error. It looks like you may have a corrupted partition table, as the root partition isn't showing there. On the live install disk, try installing the program testdisk: sudo apt install testdisk Then run it as ...

Re: Why is my NUC8i7BEH using 40W just for showing YT video?

Well I don't see anything wrong really in the inxi output. I thought maybe there would be something with the graphics configuration, but you have the right driver (i915), Xorg has modesetting, and Mesa has direct render. That all looks pretty much the same as mine. You are running two high resolutio...

Re: State of Debian on Linux Mint.

Well zst compression was not supported by apt in debian until Debian 12 (not yet released). So if you have something trying to use it when running apt, you probably have something wrong in your apt sources; maybe pulling in some package that isn't yet supported. If you can post the output of: inxi -...

Re: /run/user/1000

La commande est findmnt et non pas findmount
Mon erreur

Je crois que j'ai vécu la même chose. Mais uniquement en choisissant "enregistrer sous". Et peut-être seulement lors de l'utilisation de flatpaks. Est-ce que Scite a également été installé via flatpak ?

Re: /run/user/1000

C'est un système de fichiers temporaire. Vérifiez peut-être vos autorisations, que vous avez un accès rw :

Code: Select all

findmnt
Et vérifiez les permissions du dossier, pour votre dossier personnel par exemple:

Code: Select all

ls -ld ~
