I use an American Power Conversion APC Back-UPS XS1000 for my desktop PC, monitor, modem, and router. It connects to the PC with a USB cable. It comes supplied with software for Windows and Apple, but the program apcupsd from the repository works very well. As the name indicates (apcupsd = apc - ups...

Here's how I have my system set up. I haven't yet installed LM19, but plan to use this method by overwriting the current (unused) LM17.3 installation. It may be more elaborate than you want to try, and the partitioning is easier if your disk is gpt. This worked very well for me transitioning from LM...

I just got some new hearing aids - GN ReSound LiNX 3D 962 Receiver in the Ear type. Much better than my 7 year old Audigy AGXS (made by Starkey) aids. Controlled with an app on my Android phone so I can select different programs (All Around, Restaurant, Outdoors) with selections for noise and wind f...

I think back to road trips when i was young...the billboards we would see from Florida all the way to New Hampshire, were the "Yokens, thar she blows" seafood restaurant on Lafayette rd. in Portsmouth NH...very famous and well known back then...my younger brother was one of their chefs...sadly it w...

Anyone remember the Burma Shave signs by the roadside? I remember seeing these in the early 50's in west Texas and SW Oklahoma when we visited my grandparents.

See ya later, alligator! After while, crocodile! Be there, or be square! It was a different world - one I fondly remember from my childhood. On another thread, the comedian Jack Benny was mentioned - got me remembering the shows I watched as a boy (got our first TV when I was about 6 or 7, and of c...

Thanks - I didn't realize all those old Jack Benny shows were on Youtube. Brings back memories!

Sorry. I am 39. So am I. Well, 39 and some months , as some comedian used to say. Can't remember which comedian, but I think he said it right up until he died in his 70s or 80s. Welcome to the Mint forums, momoftwogirls! If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask. That's what we're here for!...

I have two editions of Mint on my computer - 17.3 and 18.3. Both have their own home partitions (I actually didn't need to use separate partitions) and both share a common Data partition, as described here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=274215&start=40#p1502429 I use this method ...

All your Firefox settings and bookmarks are in the profile folder in ~/.mozilla/firefox . This folder will have a name like xxxxxxxx.default where xxxxxxxx is a string of letters and numbers, like mwad0hks.default . Similarly, all your TBird settings and emails are in the TBird profile folder in ~/....

Can you change the color using redshift in a terminal? For example, to set a color temp. of 4500 K, enter redshift -O 4500 Actually, this is the way I use redshift, rather than the "normal" way of letting it adjust throughout the day. I have three keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl-Alt-M (morning) redshift -O...

If the above suggestions fail, you can supposedly prevent the new microcode from being loaded at boot (I assume it falls back to the code in your motherboard firmware): http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/non-free/i/intel-microcode/unstable_README.Debian Scroll down to "Recovery Procedu...

I've never tried LuckyBackup, so don't know if it has this one feature of BackInTIme that I like - the capability to have different profiles. This is very useful to me due to the way I have my system structured. As I have mentioned in other posts, I keep two LM systems installed - currently 17.3 and...

Here's a reason you may not want to use luckybackup (from this link - http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/ ) note on development progress Unfortunately the development of luckybackup is almost frozen. I will not stop supporting this project but please have in mind that this will affect future fixes o...

What is your point? I don't think there was a point, Shall call it nerd poetry written while under the influence, reminiscing times long past? If you get his references it was a mildly entertaining read. :) And what was that bit about slide rules? Slide rules still rule! I have one on my desk and u...

A bit dated - the part about extended and logical partitions aren't relevant if your disk partitioning is gpt rather than legacy msdos. Run gparted from the live OS because the partitions you modify must be unmounted. https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html On my LM18.3 system, my TimeShift...

Does anyone have any suggestions for good books on Linux Mint. I keep fining books on Ubuntu, but so far none on LM. I've seen youtube tutorials, but I just deal better with books. I don't know of any books specifically for Linux Mint. There is one Ubuntu book that I used to recommend, but it is pr...

What type of file system is needed for TimeShift? Can I use FAT32? No, if your file system partitions are ext4, your TimeShift partition should be ext4, because the TS partition has to support hard links, which are fundamental to how TS works. TS also works with btrfs file systems, but I don't use ...
