Linux Mint Forums

I am not familiar with either Back in Time or Time Machine. I believe those are for Data recovery or backup. Timeshift is designed to recover your operating system from failed software "updates". Not sure if it is actually useful/successful for many. I tried it and found it to be less than satisfact...

Just to ping anyone interested in this thread: I posted a way to reproduce this bug here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1765488#p1765488 I guess you never filed a bug report... The Mate developers do have members that use and troubleshoot Linux Mint... don't expect them to be looking...

Like Pierre said above. Use Live Media and manipulate the partitions with Gparted. It is probably crashing because you have no room left and no swap partition. After you have some room for the system to run it will probably be fine. You will probably need to move the boundary of that extended partit...

Apparently there is a package for DOSEMU in Sid. Yes, version 1.4.0.7+20130105+b028d3f-2+b1 is in the Sid repos. try it. BTW: despite common lore Sid seems to be pretty stable, I use it daily on a couple machines but I do Backup all Data frequently and always have fallback OS installed and ready.

There is no "Linux Mint" installed in your system, so that option from the Grub menu will not work. NOW, make a plan of where you want to install and do it. The existing Grub Menu will be replaced with a fresh one that should work. First, before you keep messing around..... ***did you backup your pe...

Cool!
Sorry I forgot that part.
Swap is automatically mounted...
Congrats

1. move swap to the left 2. expand root partition as desired you will not be able to manipulate active partitions. boot with your install medium USB/DVD then use Gparted. I ran Gparted directly from the app rather than the DVD. Is that why I see key locked beside the partitions? I will run from the...

I NEED YOUR HELP

I'm getting this message when LMDE 3 is booting.

Thanks!

what is the message?

check the UUIDs of your swap partitions (and the others too), then edit your fstab to suit

<snaip> I would avoid mount points under /media or your home folder. Something under /mnt would work: <snip> I have heard similar statements before, but don't understand the problem. Why not use /media ? I have been doing just (mount in /media) that for a number of years to automount partitions and...

No reformatting or cloning of any sort, which makes the situation strange, I think. I am going to try mounting using the PARTUUID first and see if that works (I wasn't aware fstab could use PARTUUIDs). If not, I will assign different volume labels to make them unique. If this still doesn't work, I ...

wow, that is very strange. The UUID is intended to be unique (universally unique identifier (UUID)) I have no idea how it got that way, but maybe it was a manufacturer thing. *You can use Gparted to change the UUID to a new Random UUID... and then you would edit your fstab file to match. I know noth...

I agree with both of you. Net Install is very nice.

IF adequate internet speed is available it is great, and for the last few years it has been my preferred method.
Kitchen Sink is fine for some. but not for many.

Solution: roll your own. It is a worthwhile learning experience.

@Larry78723 did connect to the internet with your computer to make this post?
If so, then you are Not the only person/machine with access.

Personally I want my entire profile, the search engine is a miniscule part this is rather maddening I just updated a Debian Stretch system, got Firefox 68.2.0esr (64-bit) and got that evil "new profile required" message I again copied my .mozilla folder from my daily driver Debian Bullseye, also run...

I use Firefox ESR. Same experience when I tested Mint Mate.

My profile is extensive, nothing came over with the FF Mint version.
so I just moved on, decided to wait for Mint to catch up before I test it again

I think one of the problems for me when I last looked at KeePassXC was that I like to have my password database file on an FTP server so all my Windows/Android/Linux machines can access it and KeePassXC didn't support this. To each his own. I would not dream of storing any data, let alone my passwo...

hmmm... I suppose so. I installed keepassxc to give it a spin it does properly read my keepassx database ... but the user interface seems to be lacking features I use I will stay with keepassx until there as some compelling reason to change We have lots of folks using it now, no need to introduce an...
