Can you provide the web link for where you got the Mandalay package from, and say which one you downloaded?

Ok, cheers.

Are we sure that the display card angle isn't an XY Problem?

Perhaps the machine in question needs its BIOS updating to recognise all the memory, or there is some incompatibility with the particular memory module used.

There are quite a few complex questions in there, but I'll give you my personal opinion. . Use the Software Manager and the Update Manager on the GUI side. I personally never use the Software Manager, always using the command line to install and remove software, but if you're new then the Software M...

Thanks. I was just checking, and it looks fine to my untrained eye. I hope you resolve your issue.

Sorry for the delay, I've been busy.
Indeed, I don't have any problem with the portable version of FreeFileSync ! I will change this subject to Solved.

Thank you very much for your help !

That's great to hear, Augustus. Many thanks for coming back on and letting us know.

Thanks. The opensuse line in /etc/apt/sources.list is malformed and also broken up into two lines. If you don't mind, please ignore asinoro's comment above for the moment until we get the repositories sorted. Run the following command: sudo xed /etc/apt/sources.list then replace the opensuse line an...

That should do the trick. You can run apt update , and if that doesn't throw any errors then you can get on with installing your software. Linux mostly works by storing software packages in remote "repositories". Long-term (LTS) distros such as Mint use separate repositories for each of it...

It is an interesting question, and one I asked myself very recently when I was looking at the processes on my system.

Have a look at the output of ls -l /sbin/init.

More info here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/442 ... or-systemd

Essentially the command /sbin/init invokes the process but systemd is the process.

LOL! In case you like to swap images occasionally, here's another from the same source:

I still prefer that one due to how cheeky the penguin looks. Reminds me a little of this chap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAqDAoCq9co

Can you please paste the output from:
(sudo because inxi needs root permission to access much of the memory information)

While the upgrade will work, you have to remove all "foreign" repos and ppas. The upgrade has told you what to do: ERROR: The following 3rd party repositories were detected. Disable them and refresh your APT cache. You need to go into software sources and disable/remove the items identifi...

Thanks. There are two repositories that you need to change there it seems (I assume that one of then is for PostgreSQL and the other for pgAdmin 4 although I'm not familiar with the software). We'll edit them one at a time. First: sudo xed /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgadmin4.list and then replace ulyan...

Which did you do - the edit or the remove?

Please paste the entire output from the following command:

I would suggest that you remove those packages. Take a note and then you can reinstall Google Earth and Krita once you have upgraded.

Thanks. What you have been doing so far, it appears, is deleting packages, not disabling the repositories where those packages come from. Run Software Sources , select PPAs and then uncheck the Enabled field for all the PPAs listed there. Also do this for all the repositories listed in Additional Re...

Can you please provide the output from inxi -r in order to list your software sources files.

What filesystem is used by the backup hard drive with which you're having the problem, and which program are you using to copy the files? When you say "all of a sudden", do you mean that you previously copied the same files to the same backup hard drive using the same backup/copy program w...
