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.

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?

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.

BG406, Thanks. Dumb Doc has Hopefully only 3 more "Mickey Mouse" questions: 1) I have over 40 Gigs of music files plus other basic files from pictures to old radio shows. How do I know or tell LMDE3 to put them into the DATA partition? 2) Which is the preferred partition in which to install Grub? 3...

Good choice. Best of luck.
Remember, first thing... get a backup program going and rest easy in the future.

I remembered seeing a tutorial so I searched for the info here first, and then in the blog... but I did not see ...

Uh....anyone have a good flip-phone for sale? Does it have to be a flip phone? There are plenty of non-smart candybar phones to be had for a song. If all you want is phone calls and text messages, it's a buyer's market. I have a couple, and a couple that look like Blackberrys and some are even pret...

the partitions can be Copied to another drive and Copied back if desired.
Gparted does it all, simply.

sdibaja

don't over-complicate this. run Gparted from a live medium 1. expand the boundary of the Extended partition all the way to the left. 2. move the partitions within all the way to the left 3. move the boundary of that Extended partition over as desired. now the un-formatted area adjoins the BIG 240......
