Many thanks for going to that trouble. I'll do some experimenting with extensions.

Not sure which extention you mean - I'm no expert in these things ! I turned off Extensions and fiddled with the various DT settings, re-booting each time but to no avail.
It would be interesting to...

Thanks for the replies. The Ubuntu version is 20.04LTS if that's what you meant.... along with the Gnome 3.63.3 desktop.
It's not a big deal but if there's an easy solution, I'd appreciate it....

Is there any point in posting when a topic hasn't had any views after a week? Surely the question isn't that obscure !

Now using 20.04 As title, DT icons remain hi-lighted until either another icon or a blank space on the DT is clicked on, similar to a folder !

Is this normal behaviour for Files, that DT icons...

Ok to tidy this thread up there were two problems.... which is confusing to say the least !

1 ) The stand-alone 2.5" housing I was using was faulty, despite appearing to power up OK.
2) The PSU...

This is the final message following plugging the additional usb drive in.

Hi and thank you for that comprehensive explanation which I've made a note of. :-)

I have Gparted installed and have used it in the past.
My issue is that when I plug the SSD into a USB port...

Many thanks for all the helpful advice.
I now have another problem, in that it looks as if the DVD drive on the laptop has packed up. I have a replacement on the way.
I admit that I did not see...

... and there was me hoping there'd be a simple answer ! For anyone who'd read this post, I've made a major edit.
My desktop which I simply updated is using LVM. The laptop which I installed from...

This is with the external usb drive plugged in - this is not the laptop. I shouldn't have involved two things at once !

Hi.
I'd like to format several SSDs but when plugging any of them into a usb port, they appear in lsusb but not lsblk so I don't know how to mount them, if that's what's required?
What should they...

Tweaks is installed but there is no Applications option, only Startup Applications. Whenever I do attempt to create a launcher, the 'Allow to launch' option is not there ! Having said that, I have a...

Thanks for the suggestion. I've made a note and when I give it another try, it may sort it. I'm kind of tempted to go for the clean install option !

Apologies for the repetition... it was the lack of views which puzzled me. I'm going to stick with what I've got for now. Thanks.

A week ago I posted the following... it's had no reads and no replies. Why's that please? (I've modified it slightly !)

As per title I was offered this upgrade this morning and foolishly accepted and now whilst most things seem OK. the launchers for various files and Moneydance no longer work, simply displaying the...

Well I tried Vuescan and it works ! :-) Thanks for that.

I downloaded the version for the Canon LiDE 120 and installed it directly from the Download folder. It's icon appeared on the home...

That's OK, thanks for the pointers. I'll carry on digging around. In my case, it's not an essential. Cheers.

The Simplescan window opens with 'Ready to Scan', a little latter it adds Canon LiDE 120

If I then click the 'Scan' button, the terminal shows.
