Re: Moving Unencrypted File to Encrypted Home

Yes that's how it works.

With the caveat that the magic of overlaying the virtual filesystem on top of the real one and on the fly encrypting/decrypting files happens only after you log in to the desktop with your account.

Re: Moving Unencrypted File to Encrypted Home

Home directory encryption uses eCryptfs, which is a "stacked filesystem". You have a real filesystem, stored on your disk, where the encrypted files are located and — when you are logged in to your account on the desktop — overlaying that you have a virtual filesystem which transparently e...

I guess you've changed settings here: ucp.php?i=ucp_prefs&mode=view. "Display topics/posts from previous days" should both be set to "All posts". If you're limiting them it should not be a surprise you can't see older topics/posts :wink:

Re: New spectre vulnerability- is linux mint vulnerable?

The exploit relies on unprivileged eBPF functionality. That is disabled on Linux Mint 21.x at least, which should make it less likely to get exploited. Check with command sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled that it has value 2: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.ht...

Re: How do I completely switch over to a new desktop environment?

Add one step: create a new user account for each new DE you want to try, and only use that user account to log in to that DE. Else what happens: each DE stores its config, cache and local data files in the user's home directory. So if you try them all on your own user account your home directory acc...

For example 1: install the cinnamon-doc package (apt install cinnamon-doc). You'll find Devhelp in the Programming category in your menu afterwards. In Devhelp you can find the cjs documentation:

Re: FAT32 Parition After Replacing Widows 11?

Yes. The UEFI, the BIOS, can only read from a FAT32 formatted ESP (EFI System Partition). Hence it's made a separate partition and it needs to be at least 512 MiB (=537 MB).

Re: How to downgrade Gimp to ver 2.8.16

You don't need to downgrade. That's a bit knee-jerk. Open Edit -> Preferences from GIMP's menu, go to Interface > Toolbox on the left, then clear the "Use tool groups" option there. That's what you're looking for I think. Other 3 preferences I change to make GIMP nicer to work with (for me...

Re: enabling snap for just one app or package

I am looking for Notion. And I couldn't find it. But it is available as a snap package. And, can you explain, if you don't mind, that why is installing snaps is like opening a can of worms? I know it is slow, other than that? The Notion snap seems not official anyway. Maybe you can give https://not...

Re: enabling snap for just one app or package

So, the base repository in Linux mint is Jammy (ubuntu 22.x) right, so if something is installed from that repository using apt, will it trigger snap and then the snap package is installed instead? Since the base repo is Jammy, it's not possible to always stop installation or updating packages from...

Re: Location Nemo settings? Pinned, Favorites & Bookmarks?

Favorite and pinned are file metadata. That's stored in the directory ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata. It may also be stored in the filesystem itself, I'm not sure. Perhaps adding that directory to your home directory backup set is enough to make restoring the backup also add back the metadata. You can...
