Grsync in action:

I ended up finding a great app for incremental backups: Grsync. While it's not quite as user-friendly as FWBackups - in the latter all you have to do is check the box for incremental backups, while...
Hi. I'm currently using Firefox 86.0 in Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit and for aeons I've been using Ctrl+Shift+PgUp/PgDn to move tabs left and right, but a couple of system updates ago I lost the ability to do...
Hi. I was happily using FWBACKUPS for backing up specific personal files/folders, but after a recent system update (for 20.04) it looks like my system got rid of it. And it's no longer in the repos....
Yet another useful feature Gnome and/or Nautilus developers got rid of? Well, I can't pretend to understand their logic. And yes, I understand you can get to all those other options via "Open With...
Hi, and thanks - but as I said, I am aware of the "Open With Other Application" option in the context menu. What I am referring to is the "Open With >" SUB-MENU that used to be in that context menu...
OK, I give up - I've looked everywhere, but cannot find an answer to this, so request your help. I upgraded 2 LTS releases from 16.04 to 20.04.1, and one of the things I noticed was missing or...
Nice find! Especially since, from what I can see looking around, the main issue people were having before this workaround was lightdm/login issues, and a couple of people found they were no longer...
Well, sorry I couldn't offer an actual fix, but at least that workaround gets your USB/printer back in VMs until the issue is (hopefully) fixed in a future update.
Not sure, but I only built this PC a year ago. And not sure if that would be an issue, since USB was fine in VBox until this update, and is perfectly fine in the host (Ubuntu 16.04) - so this is not...
Hi. I have had all sorts of fun & games over the years with either getting VirtualBox to work again after an Ubuntu system update, or re-enabling USB support to use my printer in WinXP, but this time...
That's pretty much the only "benefit" I've seen, and I have done a fair bit of reading up on it since buyers of Windows 8 machines started screaming that it wouldn't let them install Linux (or they...
Haha - but on the quantum level, those .01 seconds are an eternity! But I've found Ubuntu doesn't really need my input re /tmp folder and temp caches and the like - I even have 4 ZRAM thingies that...
Bucky: Cool, thanks. I no longer plan to use single drives to house multiple OSes, or even have multiple partitions on them, so I can just switch to legacy-mode in the UEFI, and install Ubuntu as I...
Bucky - good idea re the /data partition, but I'm guessing you had to format it to NTFS so Windows could access it (which really isn't ideal - it's a rather primitive filesystem). I sort of do the...
Hi, and thanks for your advice. Regarding GPT, I am not actually familiar with it as such, as this will be the first time I've used over 2Tb for an internal/system drive, but I did recently buy a 3Tb...
Hi. First off, I've been installing Ubuntu for 10 years now, starting with a dual-boot system in 2006 (with basically no knowledge), and I know how to search for answers (and prefer to do so than ask...
PS: Here is the line for this ramdisk in mtab, in case that shines any light:
/dev/zram1 /tmp ext4 rw,nosuid,noatime,delalloc,nobarrier,data=writeback,discard 0
What's really confusing me is...
Well, I must have slipped into some weird parallel universe, as apps like K3B have always used /tmp as the temporary cache for images up to 4.7Gb - right up to last week - but now this is impossible...
OK, I didn't notice the ramdisk was mounted as /tmp. I'm guessing this isn't common (?), and this is definitely a new development on my system, as had programs like K3B successfully use it for years....
OK, the first command shows I still have 31Gb free after copying a couple discs to .iso since my initial post:
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev devtmpfs ...
Hi. This is the first time I've come across this in 10 years using Ubuntu. While trying to copy a DVD with K3B, I got the error message "There does not seem to be enough free space in the temporary...
I've been reading up a bit on apt-mark, so thanks for alerting me to its existence. One option that seemed promising is unmarkauto, but then it seems like it is just another way of setting to manual?...
Hi, and thanks for your reply. OK, the first command shows nothing in the terminal, while the 2nd comes up with rhythmbox as the output. I should also add that a few months back I did in fact add the...
