    [solved] Stuck at GRUB (MX Linux 21) - help!

    Thank you all so much, you saved my day! It worked with Etcher, that's probably more reliable than the command line option I used. I followed your steps and hit the goal, gained some knowledge too.

    [solved] Stuck at GRUB (MX Linux 21) - help!

    I'm using the command line, following this guide: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-create-a-bootable-linux-usb-drive/ It has always worked fine before. But I'll try it with Etcher too and give it a go! Yes, I press f12 when rebooting and then I choose to boot the USB from BIOS. It does register...

    [solved] Stuck at GRUB (MX Linux 21) - help!

    It doesn't look good... I made bootable USB memory with MX Linux 21 and when I choose it this text appears: Then I have a countdown for 99 secconds before it says "giving up". After that I'm back on square one on the GRUB page. I've tried the USB in all 3 slots with the same result.

    [solved] Stuck at GRUB (MX Linux 21) - help!

    Thanks for the quick response! I'm all stuck on the GRUB page, can't get past it, no terminal available : ( I tried to follow the steps in this guide: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/grub-rescue It went fine until I wrote the "insmod normal" command, and got the answer: "'grub_disk_native_sectors'...

    [solved] Stuck at GRUB (MX Linux 21) - help!

    Hello, I'm a lazy Linux user who doesn't know much, so bare with me. I have some serious problems that I don't know how to solve, so I ask for your help. Trying to learn as I go. On my ThinkPad T450s on which MX Linux 21 is installed, I'm stuck after a reboot on a page saying the following...

    No chat window or cam in Jami (alternative to Skype)

    I'm too much of a newbie to be sure, but I get the feeling there's something else/more that's wrong in my system than just a few bugs in Jami, my camera problem seems related e.g., it still doesn't work. My contact accepted my request, but the screen still looks weird and I can't see what I...

    No chat window or cam in Jami (alternative to Skype)

    I downgraded most of its dependencies to the correct version for stable, but got stuck. The first of the two dependencies is now gone, the other is stuck because of perlapi-5.28.1 which is marked "UNSATISFIED" under libimage-magick-q16-perl. When I try to downgrade perlapi to perl-base...

    No chat window or cam in Jami (alternative to Skype)

    As I resize the window a little bigger or lower and click my user name the window might change a little bit as can be seen in the screenshots below. I somehow managed to write "ff" once, but I cannot see the text as I write it, and I cannot press the buttons. I don't know if it gives any...

    No chat window or cam in Jami (alternative to Skype)

    Great pointers mate this really helped : ) I downgraded libcurl4 to .64 and deleted jami from sources.list.d. It fixed the problem with the camera, now it works again. Still the chat window error remains. I must have messed up somewhere else too. Now at least I can see my friend's attempts to...

    No chat window or cam in Jami (alternative to Skype)

    Wow, thanks for the effort – much appreciated! I didn't get a request to allow or block when my contact wrote me a message. Could just see a small part of the message in the field to the left under his name. And concerning the cam it doesn't work even when I enter settings>media, except for that...

    No chat window or cam in Jami (alternative to Skype)

    Update: When I run the command “sudo apt install gnupg dirmngr ca-certificates curl” from the debian 10 installation guide I get the following message: “The following packages could not be satisfied: curl : Dependent on: libcurl4 (= 7.64.0-4+deb10u1) but 7.68.0-1 will be installed”

    No chat window or cam in Jami (alternative to Skype)

    Hello people! I decided to ditch Skype and try out Jami instead. Instantly ran into problems with Jami: - the chat window doesn't show, even if one of my contacts writes to me - my webcam isn't registered by the programme I managed to solve the latter issue temporarily by removing and...

    Gnome tweaks malfunctions after update (SOLVED)

    Problem: Most of the menu buttons in Tweaks don't work, the window looks as if doubled with another window and the text gets glitchy when I click them. The drop down menu in Appearance>Program doesn't work either. Background: I hadn't updated my sources.list in a couple of months after...

    Getting mysteriously logged out when using key combinations

    @Tolkem: Actually that has been a problem. When I installed Debian the Swedish default keyboard didn't show one of the keys properly, but the Macintosh keyboard was closer to correct so I chose that instead. I think that was a mistake. I've tried to change the keyboard with "sudo...
