Re: export thunderbird 115.9 calendar to .ics file

Thank you for the possible fix. Yes I see the 3 dots and tried an export but I still got just a 211.1 kB file...an empty file. I have only one calendar, so it's not that I'm selecting the wrong calendar. Has anyone converted the local.sqlite file in the profile > calendar data folder to a .xlsx fil...

Re: Linux Mint 21.3 Crash and need hardware RESET

Try a newer kernel. Perhaps the 6.x versions. I say that because there are some bug reports on similar errors from others. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1416198/ubuntu-22-04-acpi-bios-error-bug-could-not-resolve-symbol-errors-on-asus-x7 While not totally identical to your error message, It is enou...

Re: fstab change prevents me from logging in

Not a problem. However, I didnt answer your one question about the format. Sorry about that.

Here is an example format from my system:

Code: Select all

UUID=2176039b-5443-46ad-aa8c-e0ef99dec37e    /               ext4    errors=remount-ro   0       1

Re: export thunderbird 115.9 calendar to .ics file

On the left side of thunderbird when you are looking at your calendar you will see three dots next to your calendar name. If you click on that and choose export it should allow *.ics as the default. At least this is what mine does. I am on the same version as you - 115.

Is that how you are doing it?

Re: fstab change prevents me from logging in

I have not really used timeshift. However, As I have read from others you should boot from the live LM iso and then run timeshift to recover. Thats the gist of it. There are others here that can probably advise you more on this. Seems to me that your filesystem on the drive has issues so it mounted ...

In your fstab I do not see where / is mounted.

To edit it.

Re: Backup - app preferences only

Just clone the drive.

Do a 'Once a week' clone or whenever you make major changes. Then if something happens just swap the drive.

Otherwise, rsync the home directory to somewhere.

Re: HDMI to TV not working.

I suspect it could also be the port itself. Maybe it's broken somehow? The laptop is old and a bit damaged. Almost every time I start up or shut down, I see the machine trying to check usb1-port6 which always fails. It loops for a bit before stopping and booting into LM. Oh, and by the way............

Re: Kernel modules mismatch

You have some leftover stuff from the 6.x version it sounds like. Uninstall all virtualbox and run this to clean up: sudo apt purge virtualbox* Then reinstall virtualbox after a reboot. Did someone install LM for you? VB does not usually come with the regular mint install. Also, Where did you get th...

Re: LM 21 Mate printers control panel

Normally what I do is delete the printer and reboot. Then connect the printer (if usb) and have it rediscover it. Depending if the printer supports driverless LM might just find it and automatically install it. If its not supported then you will just need to rerun hplip again. EDIT: To use the hplip...

Im using Adblocker Ultimate and have not had an issue with that. I know UT does things in different markets (Im up north) just to test them out I guess. If I have any issue with blocking its mostly due to my VPN connection though. I just have to switch servers. Have you ever tried freetube? https://...

Re: [SOLVED] Mint on a Server

I run several Dell PE Servers. I find that debian does a great job on them and is my preferred flavor of linux for servers. LM is fantastic but is geared toward the desktop/laptop type setup. Although it can be adapted to running servers there are some reasons I do choose debian instead: 1. Debian i...

Re: my YouTube has been slowing down, .....

Keep us posted.

I have not noticed anything yet on my end with adblock. I think UT will test certain features out in select areas before rolling it out to everyone.

Im sure in a short while adblock will have a fix for that too. That's how everything seems to go in linux :)

Perhaps Linux is really doomed to a tiny niche of computer enthusiasts and their closest friends / family.
