I'm the author of that web page.... :) I tried to reproduce your problem on my PC, but deleting all the thumbnails and rebooting, went flawlessly. As expected: it's wholly improbable that deleting thumbnails in a user folder , should cause boot failure for the entire system . So there's some other t...

Ok, thanks and can you say, for all "normal" printers exists driver in Linux? For example for Brother HL-L2370DN can I see: Driver: Windows 7 und höher, MAC OS 10.10.5 und höher... AND no Linux.......? Normalerweise ist es überhaupt kein Problem um einen Drucker zu installieren in Linux. Sehe diese...

Before the end of 2020, we might be able to stop worrying about this virus entirely: https://www.archyde.com/american-pharma-company-makes-drug-with-our-antibody-47d11-inland/ 47D11.

Is there a quisling here among the skilled programmers in the club as well?

Nice Godwin.

So far, I've missed an important element in the official communications, at least in The Netherlands: the urgent desirability to improve one's own immune system. We can do a lot to prevent getting ill from Covid-19: - Eat healthy food with lots of green vegetables and good beef (iron); - Take vitami...

You might find this article interesting, that I've written about managing updates in Linux Mint:

Try this: 1. Establish internet connection by other means: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/temporary-internet.html 2. Install the latest kernel of the 5.4 series by means of the Canonical Kernel Team PPA: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/hacks-mint.html#ID8 (item 8 ) 3. Reboot...

Good to hear that there's progress. :) I advise to test whether the trackpad does work with the 5.4.x kernel. There's a fair chance, even a likelihood, that that'll suffice. No need to be afraid of the Canonical Kernel Team: they're the guys that create the official Ubuntu/Mint kernels as well. They...

1. Why would Linux Mint include his software knowing that bugs will come up if he can't be bothered to fix it? Open source software can also be fixed downstream, e.g. by the Mint devs. Don't know whether that happens for Timeshift; would make sense though, as it has been integrated so deeply into m...

ukuu shows some 4.14.160 while 4.15.20 . So is ukuu 4.14 the LTS version?

No. The official Ubuntu/Mint LTS kernels for Ubuntu 18.04.x/Mint 19.x are the 4.15.x and the 5.4.x (the latter currently still only semi-officially available by means of the Canonical Kernel Team PPA).

I get a very old version of Kernel 4.15 series from update manager. Is it normal?

No. It should be at -99, not -20.

Difference between Ubuntu LTS and Linux LTS versions? According to this link 4.14 is the Linux LTS series, but Isnt Ubuntu LTS the 4-15 series. https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-new-long-term-linux-kernel-linux-4-14-has-arrived/ Any link to understand the difference? The upstream LTS label for kern...

If you simply need a newer kernel series than the 5.3.x, then you don't need UKUU: the 5.4.x has already arrived in the Canonical Kernel Team PPA: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/hacks-mint.html#ID8 (item 8 ) My main machine is already running on it: pjotr@lenovo-ideacentre-310S-08ASR:~$...

Ideally, I'd like a 5.x kernel that has long term support. Within a couple of months you can expect the 5.4.x kernel to be released as successor for the 5.3.x. The 5.4 kernel series will be LTS again, just like the 4.15 kernel series that the Mint 19 series started with. A Mint series, any Mint ser...

..... sometimes it's a thin line. Ever since the unforgettable Ubuntu 6.06 (yes, 6.06 and not 6.04) Dapper Drake, I love Ubuntu for its consistent quality and ease of use. It's astonishing how this fine distribution has managed to become and stay the quality norm for desktop Linux in general. Furthe...

Your powerful machine shouldn't need it, but we have to be practical, so try this anyway:

Did you test Firefox without add-ons and extensions that you've added yourself? Those are the usual suspects....
