Is there an email notifier that can access Yahoo Mail?
Years ago, when I used Mint, Mailnag could access my Yahoo account.
Now, Yahoo Mail no longer provides the following option:

“Allow apps that use less secure sign in”

So, it is impossible for Mailnag to access Yahoo Mail.

The only ISO I have tried that would not boot from Ventoy is ReactOS. You may notify the author of the problem. He will fix it if he has time. His email address can be found at the bottom of the following page: https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html His username there is longpanda, while his real nam...

Look at /proc/modules if the item exists the kernel was compiled with module support. Still, it is available only in kernel 5.6 or later. I ran sudo modprobe drivetemp Then, sensors showed the following: drivetemp-scsi-1-0 Adapter: SCSI adapter temp1: +42.0°C (low = +14.0°C, high = +55.0°C) (crit l...

Is there a way to check whether "drivetemp" exists on my system?

I am now using Hddtemp. Can you post a link to "drivetemp"? I am not running Mint. I am interested to know whether it will work on my UnionTech OS.

put the ext4 partition before your backup partition, as I already said. Screenshot from 2021-08-24 10-38-20.jpg I have just repartitioned the HDD as shown above. If I want to install Mint, is it correct to take the following steps? (1) On the "Installation type" screen below, click on the...

I have just repartitioned the HDD. In the future, if I want to install Mint, is it correct to create an EFI partition from the first unallocated space and create a swap partition and an Ext4 partition from the second unallocated space? I am going to put my backups into the exfat partition, which wil...

So you won't have to resize or move your "backup" partition later ? If / when you decide to install Mint. If/when I decide to install Mint, may I install it in the unallocated space shown below (after creating an Ext4 partition) without touching any other partitions? The "Basic data ...

I have a brand new 1-TB USB HDD to be used as a backup disk. In the future, I might install Mint on it in UEFI mode. How should I partition it? For the time being, I will not install Mint, and the disk will only contain my backups.

Yes GParted can make a FAT32 partition 32GB (or bigger) Yes it can be marked active and Yes the stick can be bootable. I cannot find the "active" flag on GParted. Do you mean the "boot" flag? The "active" flag is necessary only for booting a PC in Legacy BIOS. Is the &...

a Windows ISO does not boot a live session like Mint does. It's just an installer. At this moment, Windows PE is running on my PC, and I can access the Internet. I created the Windows PE USB drive merely by copying the contents of the ISO file into the bootable FAT32 partition without burning or us...

I want it bootable in both UEFI and Legacy if I copy Windows into it.
I want it bootable in both UEFI and Legacy if I copy Linux into it.
I might copy either Windows or Linux into it in the future.
I might boot a PC in either UEFI or Legacy in the future.

the ultimate objective. For example, I have two ISO files: Linux.iso and Windows.iso. I want to copy the contents of either into the bootable FAT32 partition, so that it will be bootable in both UEFI and Legacy. I don't want to use Rufus, which will erase everything. Linux does not need boot flag, ...

I have used GParted to re-partition the USB stick and set the FAT32 partition as "boot".
Is the flag "boot" necessary for UEFI or Legacy BIOS or both?

Try using GParted in a live session.

How did you do so via GParted?

I have a 64-GB USB stick. I have created a 32-GB FAT32 partition via DiskPart on Windows. Someone said GParted has set no "32-GB" limit on FAT32. If I use GParted to create a FAT32 partition, can it be marked as active? I want the stick bootable.

On a Chinese forum, someone has an old notebook and TEAC NT-503. I advised him to install Mint, and he said TEAC NT-503 only supported Windows 7 or 10 in this post https://computer.discuss.com.hk/viewthr ... d507705578

Does Mint support TEAC NT-503?

After reading the above, I think my 8192-MB swap area is much too large as I have 6 GB of RAM.
