Even though it is already marked solved, I'll add this. The way I normally move files and folders from one directory to another is to open both source and target directories in dual pane mode (F3), select the source directory by clicking in it, if it is not already selected, then middle click (mouse...

I have found the easiest way is to use a script file to verify and authenticate - that way I don't have to remember all the steps after 6 months to a year since I did it the last time. Here's a post where I describe how I do it (this is for LM19 CInnamon - you'll need to update for later versions or...

As I said above, I keep my TS snapshots on my internal HDD, but backup periodically to a USB hard drive. I have heard that USB flash drives can wear out fairly quickly (limited number of write cycles), so that's why I prefer the USB hard drive. A flash drive would probably be OK if you didn't make a...

Here's the only other way I can think of to do this, and I'm not sure it will work - haven't tried it myself. This assumes that your two OS's are both Mint (or Ubuntu) and installed in UEFI mode. In UEFI, the boot-loader in the /boot/efi/EFI/Ubuntu directory uses the file /boot/efi/EFI/Ubuntu/grub.c...

1. Timeshift will work with Ext4 or BTRFS. I have never used BTRFS, but Ext4 works well. 2. Make the target Ext4, assuming that your installation is Ext4, not BTRFS. TimeShift is generally recommended only for the system files. I use and like Back-In-TIme for backing up my home and data. I am runnin...

I keep my TimeShift snapshots (system files only) on my internal HDD in a separate partition so I can restore quickly if an update goes wrong, or if I screw something up. This has saved me a lot of grief on two occasions, one of which was a combined kernel update and Nvidia driver update that messed...

I'll bring this one up again. I posted this a couple of years ago and it led to a lot of discussion. No fair looking up the old thread before you try to solve it. :P You are on a game show. In front of you there is a wall with three closed doors. Behind one of the doors is a new automobile; behind e...

On my Moto e5 Play, plugging in defaults to USB Charging, and the pull down menu offers options including "Transfer files". That opens up the file system on the phone to Nemo, but any attempt to access those files on LM flips up "libmtp" errors each time. As I said in the post I linked above, the "...

My father ditched Linux when the photos he took on his Android phone couldn't be easily downloaded to his Linux Mint Laptop, after he plugged it into the laptop with a USB cable. I had some trouble the first time I tried that on my desktop - the solution was simple, but not obvious to me. https://f...

It is less about Apple and iPhones than about micromechanical parts and how molecules - such as helium - can act on these parts...

But "iPhones are allergic to helium" is a catchier title than "Micromechanical parts are allergic to helium".

Who would have thought....?

I have to use "nomodeset" on my machine. It's easy to make it permanent, so that you don't have to enter it every time you boot. Edit (as Root) the file /etc/default/grub and add "nomodeset" (without the quotes) to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Make sure it goes within the quote marks and if ...

ISo I was wondering, how do members here approach Linux kernal updates when offered by Update Manager? I keep three three kernels installed - the active one and the two before that. So when a new kernel update appears, I wait until I am finished using the computer for the day, and close all my apps...

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...
