Dear Wizardfromoz Once again I would be happy if you could help me. Following your advice I have installed MATE (June 23) and I was very happy with it until recently. The basic reason why I prefer it to XFCE for example is that I can now resize icons each one its own size. But several days...

Dear Wizard, Thank you very much for the hint! I was seeking for a solution since several months now that’s it! MATE has indeed the “resize icon “ option and all goes great (at least for the moment). I did not quite succeed with cinnamon but for the moment no need for it since MATE is here...

Yes I did reboot ) There are "desktop settings" - probably you mean this. It is possible to change the size of all icons simultaneously That is not what I want - I would like to chang the size or each icon individually so that the ones which are important now be bigger on the Desktop. This is...

Hi Thanks for the hint. I installed gnome-tweaks, but this does not help. Actually I can not even move an icon on the desktop - the icons stay ranged in columns

Hello people, In Ubuntu 2018 with gnome flashback there was a nice feature "resize icon" : I can choose the size of each icon individually. I have just installed Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) and in gnome flashback I can not do this anymore. Any help? Is there another session...

Hello people, I am using Ubuntu 18 (bionic beaver) at present and am quite happy with it ( gnome flashback as the desktop environment). There is a nice function of resizing desktop icons: to get any size you want, just right-click on the icon and then stretch or squeeze it. I have built...

Inspiron 13 7000 2-en-1 (7391) I made a thread about it already ))) After having noted that the time spent on my attempts installing Linux on it would be sufficient to earn enough money to buy just another one suitable for Linux I stopped it. Otherwise it is a reasonable machine - but Windows

Hi Alex, Great thanks for the reply. Just one question: when you were installing an NVME did you ale\ready have your Lin distro on another drive? Or NVME was the drive where you initially installed Lin? Because I would like to have just one drive namely NVME one, since it seems to me that...

Hello LorenDB, I am only going to built it up ) it does not exit yet. Of course it is the RST ("raid") which blocks installatyion of Ubuntu on Dell Insp. I spent a lot of time trying to disable it - all in vain Thanks BEst Stef

Hi f33dm3bits, Thanks for the reply and for the good news. Could I ask for more details? Have you built up your desktop yourself, or bought one ready for use? In the last case, did you install Linux yourself, or it was already there? Which distro do you use? Thanks Stef

Hello people I am going to build up a desktop computer, I bought for it the AMD Ryzen 3950 (CPU) and am thinking about a corresponding hard drive SSD. The SATA ssd's are slow if compared with Ryzen's abilities, and I guess I would try one of NVME, for example this one seems nice Corsair...

Thanks for the hint! I will try Fedora. Yes the machine has UEFI. Sorry, what is "CSM settings"? It is a good news that NVMe is not an obstruction for Linux. So what could be the obstruction in my case? Here are the parameters: Dell Inspiron 137000 2-in-1 disk ssd M.2 PCIe NVMe system...

Thank you for the link - will try it. Meanwhile I have tried several distribs like Ubuntu 18,19,20 Mint19 and Mint 18, Manjaro, and debian - they all do not see the disc. The disc is NVMe and is under RST (not that I understand what it means, just citing the letters). For the moment trying to...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am trying to switch to AHCI, and have problems with it.

Hi sp331yi, Thanks. I have visited and read many sites like this. I have installed Debian and Ubuntu (dual boot) on my three previous laptops without problem. Now something happened. My best guess is that it has smth to do with the RAID/AHCI games, not so sure of course, but I am trying to...

Hi Jared, Thanks for the reply , yes I resized the Wind 10 partition and freed 300 gigs for prospective Linux

Thanks Chris, yes I turned them both off. Actually I had to turn off the BitLocker first I did it too )) - This did not help, when I plug in a 2gig-usb with Xubuntu on it the systam says: you have only 2 gigs - and Xubuntu needs more to be installed Cheers Stef

Hello people, I have a problem with my recently bought DELL INSPIRON 13 7000 2-in-1. It has an installed Windows 10 (which works fine) and I wanted to install Linux to have a double boot, as I did with all my previous laptops. For this machine I have a problem at the very beginning of the...
