Thanks for all the input. It's going to take a while for me to understand all this. My knowledge of CLI is limited.

So there is something going on with the way the file structure. I don't know what it is. If I try and change permissions from the properties page, it rejects it. Everything is labeled as read only. I'm not sure how to proceed. Could this be a Libreoffice problem?

Both the external hard drive and the USB memory stick are vfat file systems

I must admit that I don't really know how to find the info on the file system. I am using several USB ports along with the computer Documents file to save libre office calc spread sheets that I update on a daily basis. Last week was the first signs of trouble. I started having problems copying...

Condobloke, Here's my Timeshift page. I haven't done any set up. What's in the picture is default when I originally installed Linuxmint 19.3. I used the restore button for the 3/21 image. I thought it was working. I got a list of stuff that it flagged on the dry run but nothing happened...

Condobloke, Yes I do have Timeshift. I guess I need to read the instructions. I tried using it and it didn't seem to work. I'm using Linuxmint 19.3.

Hi. I recently was using the move command to move a file from my Documents folder to a memory stick. When I was done, I saw that I had an icon (red or yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it), and an error msg saying to check the spelling and that the Documents folder didn't exist. I...

As a follow up, I've come to the conclusion that all the repository info on my computer was wiped out when I tried to add the repository for Wine 5.0. I still haven't found any documentation that shows me how to get it back. I've tried doing it from the software source and applying a repository...

Do you mean like this? cat /etc/apt/sources.list #deb cdrom:[Linux Mint 19 _Tara_ - Release amd64 20180717]/ bionic contrib main non-free
