Re: restore internal HDD

Is there an easy way to change the default set up for LM 21.3, such that LM OS and swap, EFI are on partitions of the SSD, and the HDD is home directory? I don't mind redoing the installation and loading the backed up data to HDD after, if this is easier. Define easy. You will have to use manual pa...

Re: difference between swap file and swap partition and how to modify

You can't resize partitions while booted from them. So you'd boot from a Linux Mint installation USB, run sudo swapoff -a once on the desktop to disable it using your system swap and then you can use the GParted program to resize the swap partition. To add a swap file you can use these steps: https:...

Re: A question of preference...

It's stylized "linuxmint" in some of the brand logos but in text it's always "Linux Mint" on the Linux Mint websites. When posting here it can be fine to shorten it to "Mint" or "LM" when it's clear from context what you mean. For Linux vs linux — it's "L...

Re: How to fsck next boot with encrypted disk?

A search says running sudo touch /forcefsck will force fsck to run on the root partition on next boot. Afterwards the file /forcefsck should be gone again.

Or did you mean you want it to run boot boot?

Why can't you access the data -- what does it show when you go there in the file manager?

Re: Can you respecify the \home partition after installation?

Yes it's possible to use the other partition as /home directory. The below is assuming your current user account and the user account on the separate home partition have the same username and both were the 1st user account. That is, they both have a user ID of 1000. If you were using home directory ...

Re: Mint keeps Shutting Down randomly

With shut down do you mean the computer powers off completely? I have a Sleep key on keyboard that I accidentally pressed a couple of times before figuring it out, but that looks the PC going off at first. Pressing a key couple of times will after a short wait wake it up again. Just mentioning it to...

Re: Why did Upgradable files not Upgrade?

That shows you now have the 2.1.5-1ubuntu6~22.04.3 update installed. So I assume like spamegg wrote that it were phased updates and you got them now.

Re: Flatpak doesn't work on my LMDE6

That shows the same IP addresses when I do it so you're connecting to the same server. And now with the wget command so the problem isn't with the flatpak command itself. Does it work if you run it: wget --ca-certificate=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo...

What happens when you wget https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo — if there's a problem with SSL that should also balk.

Re: Is It OK to uninstall ZFS?

I think so. Command apt purge libzfs4linux should remove all ZFS related packages; libzfs4linux, libzpool5linux, zfs-initramfs, zfs-zed and zfsutils-linux. If it says it will remove other packages, abort and first check what those are and whether you need them. Total disk space saved will be 7 MB.

Re: How to remove all linux entry on the uefi menu? I reformatted the linux partitions but the entries still remain.

Do you mean you only have Windows installed now?

If you still have a Linux you can use the efibootmgr command to delete EFI boot entries.
