Is the partition label for your NTFS partition actually "Games", like the other user had it? Are you using the same mount directory as the other user, did you create that? I'm a bit lost and I figure you are as well. The post I linked you to was to show the mount options for setting uid, g...

As announced a year ago, LMDE 5 has reached end of life and will no longer be maintained. The repositories will continue to work for a while but this release will no longer receive updates from Linux Mint. If you're using LMDE 5 please see How to upgrade to LMDE 6 for instructions how to upgrade to ...

Did you reboot after changing the line?

Do your uid and gid match with what you put on the line? Run the commands id -u and id -g and check if both are 1000 like on the line.

Can you share the full line as you have it in /etc/fstab now?

You should be clear on what verified / unverified on Flathub means: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-users/verification/. Boils down to: the maintainers of the flatpak are not officially approved by app's developers, so it's on you to look at who the maintainers for the flatpak are and whether you ...

Other plugins for xed / pluma / gedit don't do that, at least not from the repository. Why must yours?

(Xed is a fork of Pluma, which is a fork of Gedit 2. They all basically have the same plugin system.)

That's a problem on your end I think. Are you maybe using a VPN / VPS / proxy or similar? Maybe a routing or DNS problem in that network.

You're writing malware? Or what possible legitimate use is there for a system package doing something with the username?

Very basic but this command would find all files in the current directory (the dot . in the command stands for the current directory, you could replace the dot with a full path if you prefer) and run 'file' command on them and save the results to a file called "result.txt" in your home dir...

unmask=0775 was a typo of the other member. It should be umask=0775, without the "n".

That's a different question. You would have had to try to get debug output from mintupdate to find that out maybe.

Those are flatpaks. To update flatpaks from the command line you run:
flatpak update

If it's an existing file you can ask gio:
gio info "/path/to/file" | sed -nr 's/^uri: (.*)/\1/p'

That will print the uri of the file.

Thank you for offering to provide the project with hardware for testing! This is much appreciated and yes it would be very useful for testing in the team. Give me a minute to figure out where to send to and I'll contact you by email for further arrangements.

Should no longer be happening since this month. Did you still have that problem with Firefox 130, about 4 days ago.

The Mint team doesn't skip Firefox releases for that reason AFAIK. What has happened a couple of times a .2 minor patch release followed so soon after a .1 minor patch release, the .1 build was aborted and Mint started the .2 build instead to deliver that sooner. This also ties in with Firefox &...

The .profile file adds the ~/bin directory to your PATH, if it exists. The .profile is part of the login so all you should need to do is log out and log back in.

iwlwifi is the Intel driver for your wifi chip. The log shows it's hung the CPU core it is running on. You could as a first step try disabling power saving mode with this command and then reboot: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2405290#p2405290 sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/c...

The remember me login keys do not expire. If you ticked "remember me" your login session will invalidate when the cookie is deleted or your IP address changes. So if you're behind a proxy or using a VPN or such, or traveling with a laptop, that may explain why you need to login anew. If yo...

It's possible to use NTFS if for some reason you can't use a normal filesystem, but it requires correctly setting up the mount so that you own the files on it and they are executable (as NTFS doesn't support normal filesystem permissions, you must fake these through the mount configuration). Here's ...

If it starts happening again please add system info. Open the System Reports program, go to System Information on the left and then bottom right click the Copy button and paste it in a reply here. When at your point 3, when the system completely freezes, is there anything that still works? Can you s...
