Although or because I still have a partition problem on another PC, I need to install LM20 Cinnamon on another PC. On my still workhorse system LM 17.3 KDE I am very happy with the partitions I have. The following shows the shortend content of /etc/fstab # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options...

Why Timeshift - because Timeshift is not in sda6. On the other side mounting should happen during the installation process. I do not want to exclude that I made a mistake. Is there a chance to repair the system in the way that sda6 is properly mounted at /home and that Timeshift files are in a direc...

@pbear Thanks for looking into this matter. here is the output of the command you proposed: rost@ROSt-X230:~$ cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to na...

LM20 Cinnamon The content of my /home/user folder is not on my /home partition. While installing my system newly, I observed that that my / partition gets full quickly. As I am not really familiar with all needed terminal commands, I searched for the cause using Nemo and looking for the free space f...

LM 20 Cinnamon Evolution

I need to unify and clean up several address books. I can export all, except Evolution address book, into CSV format and do the clean up work in LibO calc.

Is there a tool which converts vcf-files into csv-files, idealy bi-drectional?

Thanks for your hints in advance!

@RIH
Thanks a lot for your information.

@RIH Thanks a lot for your information. I create /share/freemind. and unzip the file into this folder. But I have a question about the usage of the freemind.sh file. Start by allowing the file freemind.sh to be executed as a program in it's property permissions. Open freemind.sh & allow it to Ru...

LM20 Cinnamon

I suddenly have a /home folder icon on my desktop and don't know how it came there.
For me it is enough to see that in the Nemo file manager.

How can I get rid of this icon?

i don't dare to try the menu item unmount.

Thanks in advance for helping comments

@Larry78723 Thanks for your comment on the space in /. I am wondering why LM 20 Cinnamon needs so much more space the LM17.3 KDE. On my LM 17.3 machine the root contains 29 GB data, where as on the LM 20 machine it contains already 36.1 GB. On the LM 20 machine there are several bigger applications ...

@ LanceM I tried several ways you proposed to see where the Timeshift files could be; however I was not able to identify the location. rost@ROSt-X230:~$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on udev 8011896 0 8011896 0% /dev tmpfs 1611516 1720 1609796 1% /run /dev/sda7 42872180 3713242...

@kelevra

Also thanks to you for sharing your experience.

i will now see if I can possible replace my 500 GB HDD with a 500 GB SSD. I prefer the SSD because I am using the PC on a boat thus have vibrations.

@BenTrabetere - Thanks for your advice!

@JerryF Your comment made me looking into details: The attached screenshots show what is in /run/timeshift/backup/timeshift, thus in the root partition. Checking Timeshift's settings shows the /home partition is checked. However, I did not find any folder or file related to timeshift. Now I wonder w...
