I'm unable to figure this out. I wanted to restore 'home'--about 60GB--because that solves--or used to solve--so many problems at once. It isn't practical to restore 10000+ files plus manually so I...

You're right of course The Fu (great to hear from you again)--I am using rdiff-backup. Sorry for the imprecision.

I'll have a go and post the results here. Tomorrow, though.

Thanks again.

Hello,

I hope this isn't redundant. I have a full backup using
rdiff but can't seem to figure out how to use
rdiff to restore them on a new install of 18.04 (long story).

Any help would be...

Thank you! This fix worked immediately for me in xubuntu 18.04 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T60.
[Edit]. This worked for me for three suspend/resumes. After that my Thinkpad reverted to the original...

Hello,

Well, the title says it all--can anyone suggest a way for me to format a write-protected 8GB Kingston DT50 Thumbdrive? I had TAILS on it and the recent upgrade bricked it. It's a known...

Well, to be clear without fulminating too much: as much as I dislike MS and its business plan, I've always admired Excel--it was a great application especially in concert with Access. Which was why...

Thanks very much for this--I have quite a busy morning but will reply in detail as soon as I'm able.

Sorry if I'm flogging a dead horse here. And moderaters, I appreciate it if this is the wrong place to address this--of course I'll cease and desist if you wish. But can I be the only one who's...

Thanks very much for the quick response. I'll have a look and get back to you.

Edit: Version: 6.0.7.3

Thanks again. A very pale version of what Calc was before--no longer a FOSS alternative...

Hello All,

I have a feeling I may be missing something big here, I'd appreciate a nudge if so.

I upgraded to Bionic a while back, have been generally pleased as usual but have tried recently to...

Hello,

I'm finding Libreoffice Writer 6.0.6.2 ODF documents extremely slow to open in a new Bionic Install. Anyone else having this problem?

By the way: If I open Writer first, then navigate...

Thanks again for the additional advice. I'll certainly keep --exclude-special-files in mind and report back here if ever I get over the hump.

Thanks a million for the quick reply and the sound advice, TheFu. I'm living on a pension so looking for a cheap solution and also a bit senile (no kidding!) so every day the command line's a little...

Hello,

I'm trying to adapt to the loss of sbackup and could use some CLI help. Could anyone please show me how to use rdiff-backup to backup to a dvd? Thanks in advance.

Mine also is set to 100%; speakers normal too. My only trouble is with Thunderbird. Thanks again for all your time and attention.

Thanks very much for this. All done as advised; still no audio in new profile, either testing ("Play") or receiving a new message.

No--silence only.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not receiving Thunderbird new mail audio alerts in new 18.04.01 Xubuntu installation. Anyone else having this problem? Doesn't matter whether I use Tbirds default or a custom sound. Any...

I added this as an edit to my last post, but maybe I should've posted it as a new reply. Sorry for the redundancy.

I've determined to use /dev/sda6/...

Thanks again. I've opened the link and am trying to make sense of it. I'll post any results here. From the link:



I've determined to use /dev/sda6/ for my partition, but don't understand how...

Thanks for your interest, I do appreciate it--I really don't know the answer to either question. Basically I just allowed the wizard defaults and have no idea how to change the memory allocation.

Thanks for the response--yes, libvirtd group is there and I am a member. That wasn't a problem. The most recent problem is that on reopening I started receiving error messages saying I was out of...

Well. Unsolved after all. I can't make this work. Good luck to you and sorry if this thread has led you on. I'm done.

In short, if you haven't the skills of a programmer, system adminstrator...

Up and running and connected to the internet. Thanks a million for all the help--never could've done it without you.
