I've never used that but I guess it would be fine to use -m 1 from OS perspective. Filling up an SSD that much will hurt performance and longevity though. You want to avoid a situation where you could fill up the entire disk, not be able to log in to the desktop (what happens when you fill up all no...

Is there a way to make Nemo and disk analyzer use the same measure to avoid further confusions? Not through preferences. Both programs are free software so you could change their behavior in source code. The portion of the filesystem reserved for root is still free space. Including it in free disk ...

GB and GiB are not the same thing: 1 GB = 1000³ bytes 1 GiB = 1024³ bytes See in your Disk Usage Analyzer and System Monitor screenshots the total size is shown as 490,6 GB while in your inxi and df output the total is 456.89 GiB / 457G. That tracks because 490 GB equals 456 GiB. It's the same numbe...

Dash to Dock is a Gnome Shell extension. Cinnamon is not Gnome Shell, you can't use Gnome Shell extensions with it.

2. Add link or topic " documentation " https://www.linuxmint.com/documentation.php to " Important Notices " https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewforum.php?f=9 Do you mean a documentation link should be shown in the Important Notices category on the board index page? So underneath Re...

1. Can you add a topic " bbcode forum syntax " to viewforum.php?f=17 I could but do you mean move it to Rules & Notices forum or, as the other 3 topics there, make it a global announcement so it is shows in the Announcements block at the start of every forum? Without making it a globa...

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.
