@ scottydog That is a tough question. I think you would probably be better with Mate on top of LMDE3 as a "died in the wool" Mate fan, neither are my true "favourite" Mate version, and features... but both are OK neither version would be a real "lightweight" but LMDE3 is more compatible with modern ...

One Note? I had to look it up: "Microsoft OneNote is a computer program for free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration.

I believe I read that Ikey Doherty (the developer) left Solus a month or two ago, he wrote a going away letter. Rumor was that he got booted out by some others. Whatever the case, I suggest you go to them and ask for help. https://getsol.us/help-center/home/ =====PS I searched "Ikey Doherty" and fou...

I am not an expert, just drawing from personal experience...

just install Grub on sda. if that does Not work then try sdb... and then try sdc if necessary.

let's start by getting a list of your partitions run this command in terminal, enter password when asked (it will not display anything in the password field) sudo blkid now, you have a list of partitions ... probably the BIOS wants to boot to sda run this code in a terminal sudo grub-install /dev/sd...

Have you tried any other distros? (non-Mint) ?

I had a Asus Eeepc but I gifted it a couple years ago. Nice units.
I was able to overcome that resolution problem, don't remember the details.

Imagine there is Debian as a distrubion and Mint, Deepin, Neon, Elementary, Ubuntu etc. are all just skins. I'd like for Mint to pioneer this idea - allow Debian users to just install it as a skin, with all the configs and what not, but in a way that is reversible so one could swap 'skins'/have mul...

Sunday, November 11, 2018 Timeshift is a hog, it sucks up a Lot of disk space! https://preview.ibb.co/fh1cYV/timeshift.png To combat the space problem I created a separate partition for the snapshots. I thought 10 GB would be OK considering the entire system is about 5.5 GB but it got full and I had...

I was just curious if it could be done, I am staying with what I have. I am still having very very slow boot issues with 19 Mate. The other issue that I was having seems to have miraculously resolved itself, updates. I had not gotten a single update for over 2 months...suddenly I am receiving updat...

I do not know if it fixed the problem yet but i did find that Timeshift was consuming all of my HD in a very short time. How can one use this feature and have it be efficient? thanks for the input I created a separate partition for the Timeshift snapshots, then changed my Timeshift settings to use ...

OT: is it just me, or does there seem to be a lot of "low/no space" posts lately?

Timeshift defaults I suspect

If they released a version with something other than Cinnamon I might get interested.

ditto

you think it's bad in your area , read if you have the time about the mess in Arizona, USA Daylight time. https://www.timeanddate.com/time/us/arizona-no-dst.html ps:of course you have the time, the DST Fairy just gave you an extra hour to sleep in :lol: What mess? I lived in Arizona for a couple ye...

Starting to waffle on the subject a bit... I don't mind daylight savings time.
I just hate having to stay up until 1 am to set the clocks ahead.

@karlchen thanks for clearing that up for the sake of clarity: Debian 9 "Stretch" actually had no problems at all with either Thunderbird or Lightning. Nor did Debian Buster or Debian Sid. The problem appears to be unique to LMDE 3 and the implementation thereof. I don't know how the problem occurre...

For future reference:
Code: Select all
lsblk -f
Easier to read and saves you the sudo.

If you prefer GUI, then Mint menu > Disks also shows the UUID for any partition you click on.

NICE! thanks, I will start using

Code: Select all

lsblk -f

=== however

Code: Select all

lsblk -J

what is that used for?

sdibaja

Code: Select all

sudo blkid

If you see your bug report closed without comment ... comment of that closed thread and ask Why.
some bugs never get fixed, even significant (to you) ones, without comment.

"charge Android OEMs" translation: consumers will pay every penny, and probably a little bit more.

darn we love that "protection"
