Windows can "see" linux filesystems if you install some stuff in windows, e.g.
https://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways ... m-windows/

IIRC, I used Ext2Fsd (Edit: Ext2explore) , and IIRC, it's "read-only". It's still probably better to share an NTFS partition ...

I've had those (type of) errors ("a program error") with photoshop under wine - sometimes after it's been running for months. The only cure I found was to make a new wine prefix (~/.wine) But the new wine (v3.0x) photoshop 7 (old version number) and 12 (CS 5 ?) work great and open PSD files. "gimp" ...

I've been searching for years for evidence of real, professional music producers using Linux. I've never been able to find any. PhD21's links pretty much confirm that. Having messed with "jack" and the linux DAWs, I'd never use linux for anything more complicated than converting a file format. I do...

Of course I could simply use cp or mv but I'm not looking for a work around, I'm looking for the problem to be fixed. It's a bug.

Nobody here is going to fix it.

Try running

Code: Select all

xfburn

from a terminal, try writing to a write-able CD/DVD, and post the terminal output here.
You might have to install it:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install xfburn

It's light and won't include a lot of junk or mess up your system.

Thanks mate but I'm not sure why Gimp 2.10 should take 2 GIGABYTES of space....

Whoa! audacity used "only" 800MB.

If you have wine, gimp 2.10 runs great under it.

"Jack" is tricky; you might want to check out "ubuntu studio", a complete setup which uses jack.

Whether your aim is recording, mixing, mastering, live processing, or even coding, there is a variety of tools for you.

It seems that pressing the mute key and unpressing it will make the audio no longer work for the session. I had that happen and it was a pulseaudio issue; after muting with "amixer" (alsa) I had to unmute with pavucontrol. If you don't have it, intstall it: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol Run it a...

I have xfce but probably removed the screensaver (xscreensaver or xfce(4)-screensaver ...?).
Try this:

Code: Select all

locate saver | grep bin

Edit: or this:

Code: Select all

dpkg -l "*saver*"

Flemur

It sounds like something hosed your system.
Try this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libjpeg-turbo8 libjpeg8 libopenjpeg5

If it says you already have them, try this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libjpeg-turbo8 libjpeg8 libopenjpeg5 --reinstall

Oh that's nice, purge works now. But ppa does not. Sad

I ran your original

and it worked OK.

I cannot use terminal because there is black screen after system boots, that's why i'm trying to do something with drivers.

What kinda nvidia card are you using? nvidia drivers for some older cards basically don't work with some newer kernels.

To remove everything:

Code: Select all

apt-get purge nvidia*

I want to use with Tara Timeshift and the standard mint backup tools for whole system backup. To backup everything (home and system) I have to use these two tools, right?

There are a bunch of ways to do that. I use (g)rsync, but I'm a semi-Luddite

The /usr/bin/X11 link was a lame idea, so I deleted it and everything works. Apparently it was a Ubuntu hack.

I was thinking to use VeraCrypt encryption software and don't know if I should use Ext4 or NTFS. Which one is best to use in this case?

The Linux OS and some user data in your $HOME require NOT ntfs because of the way file permissions are handled...what are you encrypting?

Have you tried running firefox after clearing cache and w/o addons? "Play DRM content" checked?
