Re: no boot from USB
I don't recall the BIOS being that useless but it's been a long while since I used an original MintBox. I make the suggestion again to bypass the BIOS with Plop Boot Manager; If you can't get it to work one option is to use Plop Boot Manager. That is a small program you can use as boot manager and i...

Re: Set Country Code in the 6.5 Kernel
Does changing the country code make wifi work on 6.5? Your last line is a bit unclear about whether this is a solution or not. This should work to set the wireless domain to US on boot: echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=US"|sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf If that doesn't work ...

Re: Why does my Mint have the "Ubuntu Pro Client"?
ubuntu-minimal is not installed by default on 20.3 Cinnamon. I think it's safe to remove, this is the contents:

Re: Steam Linux "disk write error" when trying to install games on a secondary hard drive partition
I do not know of issues that Flatseal can cause for Steam. Flatseal doesn't modify anything in the flatpak configuration other than what you change, the same which you could do with the flatpak command. Under the Filesystem section you would add your /home/elim/MintGameDrive and that's it. You can i...

Re: Why does my Mint have the "Ubuntu Pro Client"?
Yes. These are part of Ubuntu's update tooling. They do nothing on Linux Mint.
As you can see in above then I installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer it would also install update-manager-core and update-notifier-common. They weren't installed on my Linux Mint.

Re: Steam Linux "disk write error" when trying to install games on a secondary hard drive partition
Do you maybe have Steam installed as flatpak instead of as system package? Check with: flatpak list --app Is Steam in the list of installed flatpak apps? I don't know but I assume by default it is configured to not allow access to extra storage. Flatpak runs Steam in a container with limited access ...

Re: Why does my Mint have the "Ubuntu Pro Client"?
It's not suspect that Software Manager doesn't list it — Software Manager is for managing apps. Not for managing OS components. You can use Synaptic or apt for that. Instead of blocking the update, or fleeing, I'd try to uninstall it? It's not installed here on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon. You shouldn'...

Re: Email notification when updates are available
No it doesn't restart the computer when needed. That would be disruptive for desktop users.
If the computer is always powered on, are there times of the day or week that you're sure you aren't using it? You could schedule an automatic restart at set times maybe?

Re: Steam Linux "disk write error" when trying to install games on a secondary hard drive partition
You should indeed change the ownership of the directory. With this command: sudo chown -Rv $USER: /home/elim/MintGameDrive That leaves the curiosity that the partition does not look to be mounted through /etc/fstab, at least not when you ran the command. I'd suggest to edit /etc/fstab (command xed a...

Re: difference between swap file and swap partition and how to modify
You can check with command swapon --show what swaps you have configured and whether they are files or partitions. There's not much difference between a swap file or partition, aside from that resizing a swap file is much easier. If you currently have a swap partition you could also simple add a swap...

Re: Steam Linux "disk write error" when trying to install games on a secondary hard drive partition
Looks like your drive is already mounted from /etc/fstab. Can you share the output of these 5 commands? To check some more things.
Code: Select all
grep MintGameDrive /etc/fstab
findmnt /home/elim/MintGameDrive
ls -ld /home/elim/MintGameDrive
lsattr -ld /home/elim/MintGameDrive
getfacl /home/elim/MintGameDrive

Can you share output of this command run from Terminal: lsblk -o +FSTYPE,UUID Which in the output is the 2nd drive for Steam? If the 2nd drive is internal, or permanently attached, it's probably best to automatically mount the drive during boot through /etc/fstab if not done already. The general ste...

From your description I was unsure if you walked through these steps already, but providing them to be sure: - plug in the USB - power on the computer, then start repeatedly pressing the F2 key until it enters the BIOS - there should be a menu where the boot order priority can be set - set the USB a...

Re: Email notification when updates are available
Update Manager will show a notification when updates are available. The status bar icon for Update Manager also changes when there are updates available. Before you invest time on doing this over email, why do the Update Manager notifications not suffice?
