Re: OS 21 crash
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...

Re: Linux Mint vs FDE using TPM
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...

Re: Where does the Software Manager install to?
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...

Re: gedit recent file list shows files opened by other applications
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.

Re: gedit recent file list shows files opened by other applications
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.

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...

Re: [SOLVED elegantly] Renaming files in a directory - with a small twist
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...

Re: [SOLVED elegantly] Renaming files in a directory - with a small twist
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 ...

Re: Renaming files in a directory - with a small twist
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:
Code: Select all
ls -1 +([0-9])+(\ )+([0-9])+(\ )*.jpg
Code: Select all
rename -v 's/([0-9]+) +[0-9]+ +(.*)/\1 \2/' +([0-9])+(\ )+([0-9])+(\ )*.jpg

It does not offer the ability to create a partition table when you format a new disk that comes without one :( That's nonsense.

Re: LS command sorting questions
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.

Re: Security concerns for Root
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...
