Many thanks. That did the job! :)

I have a brand new 1TB SD card. When I first inserted it into the computer it was automatically mounted and appeared to be working fine. However, it was formatted exFAT, which I didn't really want,...

That link sort of did the trick. There was a section under NFS permissions that I had missed previously. Once I set the permissions for my laptop, its file manager could display the DS216j! I thought...

[QUOTE=Morbius1;14152462]The solution to a CIFS mount is to create mount points someplace else. /mnt/Synology , /mnt/Synology2 for example.[/QUOTE

OK, easy enough to take for a shot. :)

I made...

I should have mentioned at the beginning that I'm single, I live alone, and no one else has access to the computers and network, so mounting things in /media/jjj is fine for me. I realize that...

Thanks for your reply. I now have a line in fstab for the computer with problems:

192.168.1.1:/volume1/Synology /media/jjj/Synology2 nfs x-systemd.automount,noauto 0 2

And the good news is,...

I have a DS220+ on my network (ethernet), and two computers: A Thinkpad with Xubuntu 22.04, and a desktop, also with Xubuntu 22.04, but installed yesterday on a new M.2 disk. The following line in...

I had already tried 'sudo apt update,' with no luck. I also tried rebooting, but nothing helped. Eventually it got to be time for news to be on, for which I wanted to see it on the HDHomeRun on my...

I've been using Ubuntu for 15 years, nowadays Xubuntu. This morning I have a brand new fresh install of 22.04, and I can't install anything because Synaptic shows only installed packages. I've never...

It turns out that was not the problem at all, although it certainly seemed so. The computer did have 20.04. running fine, but I kept having broken packages. And the massively frustrating part was...

I've spent the past six hours trying to install 22.04, but it always hangs or otherwise fails. And each time it is something strange and different from the previous time. The first time failed...

Sorry, that's a fail. What you refer to is a standard screen on an installed Ubuntu. The accessibility options do not exist on the screen for the 'try Ubuntu' or the later 'install now.'

Just to...

Well, I gave up trying to fix the broken packages. I tried about half a dozen commands tht everyone said would work, but they either did nothing at all or they aborted with the announcement 'cannot...

OMG, the problem computer is on 20.04. I thought it was on 22.04. Waitaminnit!

OK, I did the dist-upgrade and the desktop (the problem computer) is now 22.04. That's the good news. The bad news is...

Broken packages!

I have tried every repair that I have read about, and nothing has worked. I started with Synaptic package manager, which offers to fix broken packages, and then it says it has...

In re linguistics, yes, I have degrees in it. But my files are 99% videos, although typically each includes one or more audio channels. Lx won't be a bit of help. There might be ways to organize them...

Thanks fo the list of Linux file managers. I had already heard of most of them and, for one reason or another have decided against them. But there are still several options to explore.

One of...

@dragonfly41,

Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, none of what I am doing can be automated. Every filename is utterly unique, there are not even common words. The only things that are...

I dislike two-pane file managers. I'd much rather have different views in different windows.

Today I have arrived at the conclusion that thee is either a bug or a deliberate design decision...

I spend hours every day manipulating files, i.e., renaming or moving from one folder/drive to another. The computer itself has a couple 1TB SSDs, but they are not an issue. The problem is a 32TB...

OK, I did it. I uninstalled Chromium. Then I tried to set Brave to be the default browser, but the button still didn't appear to activate, and when I clicked on a link outside of Brave nothing...

I have recently installed the Brave browser. In its settings there is a button to make it the default browser, but when I click a link from anywhere the link opens in Chromium. If Chromium is not...

Sorry. I don't know how to give a link to my own Google Drive. Maybe there's asecret password or smething? Google is mostly beyond my ken.

But I finally broke down and installed Subtitle Edit....
