Do you think we should call it a draw then ? ... before I have to start painting my half of the drainpipe ? Ha ha ha !

Strange that you should say that ..... because I need to phone for a taxi later today , but maybe I should call " Death Cab For Cutie " ???

I agree . But looking at the release notes , I can't see one single reason why I would risk troubling my perfectly fine Mint 21 system with this update . ..... check my signature ..... lol !

Seriously ? ...... I think that's a bit of a stretch when it comes to music ..... but what the hey ! Here's a song on a similar topic , but which comes from a very different direction . It imagines how God might feel about the stupidity of her beloved creations . Holy Moly ! ...... Michael...

"The hammer of the gods Will drive our ships to new land To fight the horde, sing and cry Valhalla, I am coming "

...... or use the emoji equivalent .

Thanks for the posts folks ! Long story short .... I've been using a Mint laptop to digitize my large cd collection using freac . My music system has a Pi 3B with a DAC HAT , but I don't want to keep unplugging the HDD from it , just to transfer my latest batch of music . Mint 21 came with...

Hi folks ! ..... I'm a frequent reader , but an infrequent poster . Warpinator - designed to send and receive files across a local network . A great cross-platform tool , which comes pre-installed on Mint since version 20 , and it's now available for other distros as a flatpak ...

Mine came from the title of an album by The Butthole Surfers ...... although that doesn't really explain anything , does it ...... :rolleyes: ..... o_O -

You are most welcome .... I had a spare Raspberry Pi lying idle so I set it up with everything on default ( apart from the password ;) ) I left the hostname as "Pi" and the SSH port on 22 . And yes , I know , in doing so I created a honeypot , but I'd shut off all possibility of lateral...

I'm currently on this , as a little project .... 1 ] get a cheap android phone ( Xiaomi Redmi 7 ..... as a possible candidate ? ) 2 ] unlock the bootloader , enable USB debug , get adb .... etc 3 ] get Lineage OS 4 ] set up TWERP for all backups and recovery 5 ] use F-Droid to...

Have a look at Fail2Ban .... it could be just what you need if you think that people might be " banging at your front door " ( however quietly they may be doing it ..... ;) )

That method looks perfectly sound to me , although I have not tried it yet . Next time I need to make a live USB with persistence I will have a go . I used to do a lot of this stuff and adding persistence is not always easy . Unetbootin was a star in it's day , but it's getting a little long in...

My apologies in advance .... .... this is barely on-topic and of no practical use in solving the problem But I saw the thread title , and I just couldn't resist :- while ( ! ( succeed = try ( ) ) ) ; :D

Yeah .... me too ..... and I wrote it !! .... spooky , eh ? It's as if the human Brian had filled in the missing "it" subconsciously , while parsing the sentence . I'm trying to think of any compilers that could do that ..... C for instance ? - :D PS - Is it just me , or could we really...

I've just read that thread and can't recall having seen it before .... ..... how many threads was your link posted in ? ..... :):):)

I don't know about you , but I find it frustrating in a way , when it is only chance that leads to a solution after hours ( or days ) of grinding away . It makes me wonder what other priceless bits of info are lying undiscovered , simply because they are hard to find by intelligent searching ...

I agree , Grub Customizer is OK for adding a background and editing the displayed boot options , but I've never wanted any of the other features , and wouldn't implicitly trust them No , I hadn't seen your post that you linked to , but I seem to have come to the same conclusions .... .... I...

That sounds like a superb plan ! I've still got a spare Mint 17.3 clone , so I'm up for testing your method anytime you're ready ..... :) Some posts here show how I've already tried to go about things ..... the hard way ...... :rolleyes: What I have ended up with is a reasonably fast booting...

You will find them referred to in that way on many forums . I noticed an earlier post today from a new member , indicating that Grub Customizer may have caused boot problems . For anyone relatively new to Linux ( and even experienced but non-geeky users ) I would offer this advice :- Stay...
