  2. [ubuntu] Re: Import Thunderbird and Firefox profiles - non-snap PC to snap PC

  3. [ubuntu] Re: Import Thunderbird and Firefox profiles - non-snap PC to snap PC

    I took very careful notes when I last imported the TB profile to a newer version of Ubuntu. I'm sure I copied the profile to a thumb drive then. So why not now?? I googled around and some folks...

    I'm trying to copy/paste the TB profile from the 18.04 PC to a 4GB thumb drive. The profile size is about 1.5 GB.
    When trying to Copy/paste, I got an error message.

    Hi, coffeecat -
    Thanks for taking the time. When I first read those instructions, I thought the author used the word "reputedly" because he'd heard about it but hadn't tried it. I finally hit the...

  12. [ubuntu] Re: 18.04 doesn't display thumbnails when Canon camera plugged in

    I tried hooking up a Seagate 5TB external drive. Very relieved to find that thumbnails do work when 18.04 looks at the external.

    That makes me think there's something not quite right with...
  13. [ubuntu] Re: 18.04 doesn't display thumbnails when Canon camera plugged in

  15. [ubuntu] Re: 18.04 doesn't display thumbnails when Canon camera plugged in

    I haven't messed around with Nautilus much at all, especially in the last 5 years or longer. I don't recall how to get into it.

  17. [ubuntu] Re: LibreOffice chokes on 47 page document

    Thanks for the help.

    I forgot to mention that when Libre locks up, everything stops. The PC won't respond to any inputs until Libre finally refreshes. I don't know if that helps to point toward...
