Linux Mint Forums

You'll have to free up disk space. Easiest will be if you have a Linux Mint installation USB. Boot from that. Use Disk Usage Analyzer to investigate. Then start the file manager and in the file manager use the option to open it as administrator / root (so you'll be able to delete files), browse to y...

Linux Mint does not use snapd; https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snap.html. Likely that's not the only reason, but it is one reason that the snappified grub + kernel are not available on Linux Mint 22. The installer does have an option for encrypting the disk (using LUKS), it's u...

These forums are for support with Linux Mint only. Topic locked.

Ubuntu have their own support channels where you can ask.

There are 2 kinds of software available through Software Manager: - system packages, which are downloaded as .deb archive files and then installed to system directories - flatpak packages, which uses OSTree and installs to /var/lib/flatpak/ For system packages the downloaded .deb files are stored in...

gedit 46.2 is in the repo for Mint 22.

The gedit flatpak is 47.0; it is unverified so not shown by default in Software Manager on Mint 22.

I can't reproduce that with Gedit 46.2 on Linux Mint 22. So it's probably something that got changed since your obsoleted 41.0 version.

Anything in the logs for journalctl -u cron or journalctl -u anacron ? Are both active? systemctl status cron anacron [hr] You could instead use a systemd timer. For rkhunter it should work to create a service file /etc/systemd/system/rkhunter.service with this in it: [Unit] Description=Run rkhunter...

AFAIK Backup Tool backs up only your own files. Like documents, music, photos and videos. It excludes hidden files and directories, which store app preferences, cache, local data and such: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintbackup/blob/master/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintbackup/mintbackup.py#L428 The softwar...

Try opening a terminal and run the command:

Why did you put it in the crontab commands then? I'd expect you'd use rkhunter --update as command in the crontab, not Crontab rkhunter --update.

This is one case where ChatGPT is useful. If you ask it to: can you explain the regular expression 's/([0-9]+) +[0-9]+ +(.*)/\1 \2/' I think you'll get enough information from it to understand what's going on there. It doesn't understand bash extglob patterns correctly so it can't help with the othe...

The ls argument +([0-9])+(\ )+([0-9])+(\ )*.jpg , also the 2nd argument to rename, is a shell extglob pattern. It selects which files to work on. Docs here: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Pattern-Matching.html. Could have done *.jpg but with extglob you can select precisely only ...

First in that directory check if this command lists the files that need renaming: If so you can run this command to do the rename for those files:

Are there literal brackets [] in the filenames?

Je kunt met het Disks programma een nieuwe ext4 partitie aanmaken op de 120 GB schijf. Nadat je de partitie hebt aangemaakt, klik op die partitie in Disks en dan op de tandrad knop er onder. Dat opent een menuutje. Kies "Edit Mount Options". Ik weet niet wat de tekst in het Nederlands is m...

It does not offer the ability to create a partition table when you format a new disk that comes without one :( That's nonsense. Click the disk on the left, click the menu button top right and select Format Disk. That lets you choose which partition table to format the disk with. Partitions created ...

With your sorting requirements at odds with collation rules and with ASCII order, I suppose you have 3 options if accepting how it works isn't an option: 1. write a wrapper program around ls, that parses its output and re-sorts it according to your rules 2. patch your ls to hard code those rules in ...

Here's one from last year: https://www.phoronix.com/review/fedora-38-encryption. Most of the benchmarks show almost no difference in performance with real world use. On modern hardware it shouldn't be noticeable. The CPU does encryption/decryption faster than the data can be written to/read from the...

Same as with Windows: if you don't use disk encryption, your files aren't encrypted and anybody with physical access to the computer can get your files. They do not need to know any password for that. Not on Windows, not on Linux. The Linux Mint installer offers full disk encryption (on the installa...
