Still learning here after 8+ years

Things have been going pretty well. 2 Linux laptops. This one with Cinnamon and the one I use for multimedia with Mate. I went to use the one with Mate this morning and it won't let me log in. Message comes up MDM could not write to your authorization file. No way I'm out of disk space. Any ideas a...

Thanks

Yes, Mint and Debian are Linux distributions both of which are running the Linux kernel.

I did have a pax/grsecurity setup years ago on gentoo. It's not worth the headaches.

It's more geared to servers, not desktop systems

Hi Joe! You are right! It seems to mount itself once I access it. If you don't touch it in file manager then it should stay unmounted. You can always 'eject' it from the file manager or use unmount in the terminal to unmount it. I have accessed/written windows partitions from linux for years with n...

I think I would prefer the solution you are pointing as being the best; ext. But I need step by step indications to do it. Otherwise I can't do it. Thanks With the external plugged in and not mounted use sudo mke2fs -v -t ext4 -m 1 /dev/sdb1 to format the partition. Make sure it's not mounted with ...

If you change to ext4, it would be: UUID=1216-0844 /media/backup ext4 rw,nofail,user 0 0 Thanks for catching my mistake. does it mean that the backupped files will be stored in a new directory inside the external hd?
