I may not know exactly what I'm looking at, but none of your commands revealed any problems with my gnome-keyring files.

Let me know where you end up! I like having options.
FYI, my real "sensitive" stuff is in a veracrypt container that requires real-time key entry from me.

Security and convenience are always at odds.

In my case, the one threat that I don't quite have a 100% clear answer on is: Assume someone gets physical access to my laptop, and then can of course...

Thanks for the ideas, good stuff.

Not understanding the underlying systemd stuff, it would be nice if I could wait for a particular process to be running to then run a script as root. But I don't...

I want to run a systemd script as root, but wait until after a user logs in to execute the one-time script, and ideally after a particular user logs in. But after any user logs in would also work. ...

I'd like to use a cryptab entry to open a luks container, but the key field in crypttab requires a filename.
I'd prefer the simplicity of pulling the luks key from seahorse. But it seems crypttab...

Obviously I'm not either!
This forum is still the best place for help!

Thanks, but that can be used to encrypt/decrypt a partition for data, not an OS to boot.

The Evil Maid isn't part of my risk profile.

I'll likely try an install as described. Worst case, I'd have to re-install without encryption.
Thinking about this, I'll have make double sure that...

I understand nearly all of what his directions do, so it's not that big of a pain for me to implement.
Why does it matter where the boot chain inserts LUKS? As long as it's been confirmed that it...

Thanks, this is exactly what I've been looking for.
Is there a reason you prefer a swap partition over the default of using a swap file?

The key phrase is, system partition.

What I don't want to do: use full disk (device) encryption. That seems to be what ubiquity is able to do on install, and what many of the online guides...

Scanners are Ubuntu's Achilles heel.

I have a handful of various commands I run to get something working on my HP MFP laser scanner.
I've tried installing the MFP via CUPS and via HPLIP. Mixed...

There seems to be a problem will nearly all or all Dell laptops with 11th generation (Tigerlake) CPUs.
Randomly, lagging and inaccurate touchpad. It's quite annoying by the way, making the...

I've used veracrypt and ubuntu for years, and it's usually pretty stable and problem free.

On a command line, type:





Then, run veracrypt from the command line (which normally will launch...

Hmmm...on further inspection, some do, some don't. Would like to know if I could show them!

Thanks, but...all the examples of Nemo I see online, show the shortcuts next to the commands (in the context menus).

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Gnome.
I've installed Nemo from the repos (but not set as default file manager).
When I use Nemo, and pull up a context menu, none of the shortcut keys show up like they do in...

Partial / incremental backups are exactly what you need to minimize storage space. And especially for remote backups, minimize network load.
I switched from an rsync script to borg backup a few...

Ha...yea, I saw that HTH and knew better. :)

Tried #1, and it's working well, will also try #2 method, but I'm going to mark this solved.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!!! I'll give #2 a shot and report back.
I'll also check to see if this is how active yad buttons have color in Neon/Plasma

I'm using yad (fork of zenity) to create some simple script interfaces.

Q: Is there a way to set the "background" color of the selected button?

Problem: If I run my script in Ubuntu, the pop-up...

Thanks, I should have been more explicit.
vidcutter is (was) an excellent fast efficient tool for (only) cutting/splicing/pasting various video formats, It is far from a full fledged editor. I'm...

Loved vidcutter, but appimage is giving me a lot of problems of late, and no repository for 20.04.

Other than command line (ffmpeg), is there an alternative to vidcutter?

UPDATE.
I've used tlp-stat across several installs, and still unable to get battery usage of any distro using latest versions of gnome-shell close to that of 18.04 version.
However, KDE 19.04 and...
