I have not been able to get " bottles " to work (install and run a Windows program) with Mint 20.3. I used the version of " bottles " provided by the Mint repository. I don't see a " bottles " program in the normal repos. FWIW, you don't need bottles to run windows pro...

That's probably because of a full partition; what does this command return?

Code: Select all

df

You might try

Code: Select all

sudo apt autoremove --purge

then run the df again.

Here's my FWIW: I never bulk convert music/audio files; my "convert to mp3" process is to normalize, trim, and add .5 seconds or silence to each end of the clip/song; so I use ocenaudio to convert to WAV, then edit the WAV file in Adobe audition , then convert it to mp3 with lame . (my old...

Then in fstab an entry like this. UUID=0D01AFDB4669F986 /mnt/stuff ntfs defaults 0 2 this is for a shared windows accessible data partition. You might want to add "windows_names" so you don't create files that windows can't read. Anywho, I use LABELS for everything in fstab and such, like...

The files say -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root

They're writable by you (and everyone) but try taking ownership -

Code: Select all

chown -R $USER:$USER /Div2/mp3

or even

Code: Select all

chown -R $USER:$USER /Div2

libc6 requires locales v2.31 but breaks locales < v2.31

Sorry mistyped the command. It lists all the mp3 files in the folder.

How about permissions? Post the first few lines of the ls output.

If I rightklick an mp3 from that drive and have it opened in Audacious it says the path is /run/user/1000/doc/3adb3ff8/songname.mp3 and I really dont get that pathing. Where is that path coming from? Why does Linux make it this way and why cant I use my /Div2/ drive? I have mp3 files on a "dat...

WHO? :evil: thought it would be good to enable "copy marked text with a click" on Linux mint 20 xfce Do they know how irritating it is to try to past a text on another marked text (to replace it) and the stupid system copies the stupid marked text before you can paste your own? Are you us...

Thank you all Mesdames et Monsieurs! I am giving it up.

It's a HP Pavilion Product F9V32EA#UUW. I thought it has a "normal" Hard-disc, but it is a SD memory of some sort. I was not aware of this. It says here (https://support.hp.com/hr-en/document/c04125134) that it has: 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA There is almost 1T B free space, good I want to use it...

I'm not new of course, but silly commands like "journalctl -b" rather then something meaningful like "show-boot-info" have to be off-putting.

I recall laughing at Unix (ksh?) commands when I switched from VMS. In fact I still laugh at many of them.

So far I can't even tell if the program downloaded to the laptop, so that's question 1. From their instructions: sudo apt-get install resolvconf mozillavpn Run command: mozillavpn The sudo apt-get line installs the program, hence the word "install". If typing mozillavpn does NOT result in...

How it can be checked that everything is OK now? # umount -v '/home' umount: /home: target is busy. Oops, sorry about that; sometimes my BU partition is "busy" even though I close all the programs that (I think) were using it. Old: /dev/sda2 76768368 30105060 42740684 42% / /dev/sda3 4070...
