In my clean LMDE6 VM, I have:- user@debian12:~$ inxi -r Repos: No active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list 1: deb https://mirror.vinehost.net/linuxmint/packages faye main upstream import backport 2: deb https://deb.deb...

The implication is that if a "standard" LMDE6 works, then there is a non-LMDE6 problem. Do you alter the configuration in some very non-standard way? For example installing Ubuntu DEB packages on what is essentially a Debian bookworm distro (with some Mint modifications). It could be usefu...

To run a Live system:- You boot from the LMDE6 disk - but do NOT choose the install option. This should give you a full working version that runs in RAM, and provides a full file system for /, /home etc It does not write anything to disk (indeed you don't even need any disks). It will run much more ...

The reference to I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/sdc9 I: (UUID=ee6d03c4-27ea-4218-8b30-36329d26cdd0) I: Set the RESUME variable to override this. is an indication that no swap partition is specified in GRUB, but that /dev/sdc9 is suitable and will be used. I've got a tiny netbook w...

The original code has match methodname [line 2] - although line 1 has method_name

Your fix has if method_name statements - which looks like what was intended, originally.

You could try running a Live boot of LMDE6 from USB...
Running a package update in live would let you stress the system a bit.

If you still get serious problems perhaps it could point towards hardware?

You only need to update the /etc/fstab file with nano. After entering the new swap line, you need to write the output to disk. The two lines at the bottom of the screen are meant to be helpful. ^O Write Out is short for CTRL+O (the O can be upper or lower case) ^X Exit is short for CTRL+X Check your...

The file is actually /etc/fstab

You can use any plain text editor to make the modification.
For small files, I would recommend nano as a good choice; this should already be installed.

So enter sudo nano /etc/fstab to run the editor.

You can have a swap partition and/or a swap file.

I do use a non-Google, non-Microsoft search engine. Why not just make a donation (in cash) to the Linux Kernel Project and/or to Mint/LMDE? Keep your ad blocking and anti-tracking software running - you can always selectively allow web sites you approve of to place moderate advertising on their site...

Thanks!
It looks good.

It would be worth installing LMDE6 as a VM, possibly on a working LMDE6 system. You could then try new kinds of things, such as BTRFS on the VM version in a non-destructive way. The default install for LMDE uses ext4, the normal install seems to include the btrfs-progs package This package contains ...

Usually caused by a web page having a load of javascript which is either running too slowly or possibly will never end. Intensive GIMP on a under-powered or low-memory system in conjunction with a complex web page would be a common cause of the problem. You can't fix it by just hiding the notificati...

I only use DuckDuckGo with a few rare exceptions such as where I'm forced to use things like Google for translation. It works fine and keeps my interactions with the Google information gathering & advertising agency to a minimum. There some corporations which invite a well deserved anti-corporat...

Isn't VGA limited to 1024x768?

[edit:] Based upon the possible chroot data showing the UUIDs were correct I rebooted, selected LMDE in the grub menu and . . . it booted up, as "itself"!!!??? So, the question is will this be an intermittent thing, sometimes booting, sometimes not??? But now in LMDE, ran an apt and it sh...

No - I really mean, I don't have a Downloads directory. I think this is solely due to historical reasons. XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/&...

You don't actually need a "Downloads" directory - indeed I have deliberately removed XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR (plus a few more).
I download "stuff" to the desktop, since most of it is fairly transitory and either gets deleted or should to be moved to the correct location.

Then you are perfectly safe.
A good OS [i.e. Linux] + good password management + a sensible attitude to emails = a safe banking experience!

Normally, when credentials are exposed, it is done by hacking into an organisations server. If they are not stored absolutely securely, all sorts of information gets leaked. Obviously, it is much more efficient to attack the server and get a million passwords then it is to attack a million PC's. Pre...
