After a reboot, I'm still having problems with this. This time it's stopping me from starting up a flatpak (but I could download the equivalent appimage and run that program just fine). I checked syslog and found this: dbus-daemon[1746]: [system] The maximum number of active connections for UID 1000...

EFI partition is empty and LM 13 is intalled on BIOS Legacy mode. I wonder why you didn't restore/clone on MBR/dos partitioned disk and changed computer's Setup to Legacy or UEFI+Legacy (or enabled compatibility CSM module). Because the hdd is a 4TB with a partition greater than 2TB, and MBR can't ...

I first posted here but the issue I'm having now is related to the solution for that problem, so it's really a separate question. The story: - had a Mint 13 box (yes, there are good reasons I kept that around - it's not my main box!) which hdd was failing - I have a good clone of it (made with ddres...

OK, I'm pretty sure I know why I had a GPT partition table - the hdd is 4TB. Msdos tables can't handle more than 2TB, from what I'm reading. Somehow I'd set it up to boot off of that with a legacy boot method and it actually worked until I tried to swap drives. /\o/\ Not sure how I managed that one,...

Something I should have asked - you are not trying to boot with the original drive and the clone in the system at the same time? This would confuse grub - two / partitions with identical UUIDs - which one does it choose? No, I removed both the original drive and a separate data storage drive I'd ha...

Ahh... just looked at your boot-repair output. sda1 is your bios_grub partition, where grub lives on a drive partitioned with a GPT partition table. So it should be sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda I followed it carefully - said no error reported. But ...

Yes. You don't need a separate boot partition unless you are using LVM or LUKS. I installed this quite some years ago and I think I got confused trying to read online how to best partition things. My current box is quite a bit different, lol. sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt sudo grub-install --boot-direc...

That should have worked, or I can't think of a reason why it won't. I'd try re-installing grub, straightforward for legacy boot. Boot an install stick, open a terminal and sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX Where sdX is your system drive, e.g. sda , and ...

Earlier info indicates that you are booting legacy, if you copied the partitions you will have missed the first stage bootloader in the first sector on the drive. I had ddrescue copy the entire drive, not specific partitions. Does it not copy the entire drive including the bootloader if told to bac...

I read that, but none of it seems to apply to my situation. I made a perfect copy of a drive that already worked on that system, and upon switching the main OS drive out for its clone, it decides not to work. I'm trying to figure out how to fix that, or if the issue is that I simply accidentally cha...

This will take a bit of explaining, so please bear with me: While my main OS is running Mint 21.2, I have an older box that I keep which runs Mint 13 Mate 64-bit. I have some good reasons for having an OS this old on it (please be assured I'm not using it to browse the Internet! lol), which aren't r...

I'm on Mint 21.2 Mate, fresh install on a new build, only a couple months old. inxi output, if it helps: CPU: 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (-MT MCP-) speed/min/max: 2681/2200/4950 MHz Kernel: 6.5.0-1009-oem x86_64 Up: 11d 13h 3m Mem: 120700.4/128709.6 MiB (93.8%) Storage: 52.76 TiB (59.0% used) Procs: ...

I'm running Mint 21.2 Mate and found System Monitor to be somewhat sluggish but working. However, it's suddenly gone from sluggish to essentially frozen. I can start it up (either from the menu or from terminal - no errors other than the SELinux one!) but I only get the outline of the window and it ...

OS version: Mint 21.2 Mate I installed Tanglet (Boggle-like game) the other day from the repository, but only got around to trying it tonight… to find it silently failed. So I ran it in the terminal to see this error message: qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in &q...

I can confirm that the Realtek LAN in my UEFI BIOS is set to Enabled and always has been.

It definitely does NOT return any result, but I'm not sure how to check firmware settings for it. I already ordered a network card because I wanted to be able to install it this week and get going on the config, but I'm definitely still interested in solving this if there's a way to do so. If nothin...

I did notice that! It doesn't seem to be having any issues so I guess I'll keep it unless I find some reason I really should be using an older kernel. So far everything's behaving precisely the same as the last two kernels I tried.

Just tried installing, rebooted… and same deal as last time. So yeah, it's definitely too new for Linux. Bah! I'll have to get a network card then. Thanks for trying to help at least.

It's internal - part of the motherboard. At least, the mobo specs say it's there (there's an external port for it and all - I plugged a cable in before I fired it up for the first time and haven't removed it yet) and a friend of mine who runs a Windows comp with the same mobo says it works fine on h...
