My Win10 desktop has a Samsung Evo 860 250GB that has been in it for about 2 years. It's fully formatted (not over-provisioned) and is at 96% health, so it's doing fine. The drive I am putting into...

Pretty sure this isn't necessary as don't SSDs already come with walled-off space now that can't be formatted for normal use that is allocated only for extending SSD life?

That's the thing though...I just finished doing a full reinstall a few months ago and the setup I use is very involved and tweaked and takes me hours to put things back the way I want and get the...

Hi all - I have a few questions about cloning my install (or other Ubuntu-based installs) to an SSD! :)

I have an HP Pavilion Touchsmart 14 laptop (AMD A6 2.0Ghz CPU, 12GB RAM, 500GB mechanical...

I figured it out! I had to turn own_window_transparent to 'no' and then use own_window_argb_visual set to 'yes' and use own_window_argb_value to adjust the transparency amount. :)

Those two lines seem to already be set to the correct settings for transparency...?

own_window_transparent is set to yet and (line 44) and own_window_color is 000000 which should be black, but is...

Hey all!

Years ago, I had a netbook with Conky and I had a very nice semi-transparent background with non-transparent foreground text, etc.

Hi all - this should be an easy one!

I just set up a Linux desktop PC for a family friend who bought it as a second computer and wants to set it up in a room away from his router, so he won't be...

Quick question - when CLONING from an HDD to an SSD, will Ubuntu detect it is now on an SSD and then enable SSD specific settings like TRIM, etc automatically (Windows 10 configures all this...

Quick question - when cloning a Mint install (or Ubuntu install) from an HDD to an SSD, will the OS detect it is now on an SSD (as Windows does) and enable SSD specific settings automatically (like...

Hi all!

I've got a friend who recently decided to try Ubuntu and is dual-booting with Windows. Under Windows, everything is great, and under Ubuntu, everything is fine, EXCEPT for a pretty major...

Well, it's a workaround, but apparently I can read AND write to them when accessing them as Sudo, so that will have to do for now!

Thanks for the help, but I checked that first...sadly it's not the issue. :(

Hi all - please forgive this very outdated question...BUT....

I have an older Intel Core 2 desktop running Mint 19.1 64-bit MATE that still has mobo plugs for IDE and floppy. The computer works...

I didn't think it could be upgraded, mainly that it it supposed to be capable of running smoothly at 1080p in Windows but mine isn't doing that in Linux, so I figured it may be a driver issue. I...

Hi all,

Odd question concerning the little PC I just set up with Mint 19.1 MATE as a Media Center PC. The machine is a Dell Studio Hybrid 140g (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1Ghz, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard...

Hi all - having a bit of an odd issue here.

I have a spare desktop PC that works fine - Intel Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, Mint MATE 19.1 MATE 64-bit, etc. I also have a Dell 1704FTP 17-inch monitor....

Yet another update - I decided to unplug the webcam and plug it back in while the computer was running to see what I would get from dmesg:

This seems like it...

A bit more info - just checked in dmesg after a cold boot and I saw this:

Thanks Yeti - I realized that order was important with how things were deleted off the disk as that same situation matters under Windows as well. I had specifically asked her on the phone what order...

Thanks folks - I'll see what I can do. I warned her not to use the drive at all until I could look at it.

@Yeti - Yes, I'm aware that's how it works with Windows, but as she deleted them in Linux...
