Re: Unlock login key ring needed for Brave Browser startup

Thank you fehlix. I'll digest the options you suggested. Bizarre a browser would require a password. Stay well!

SOLVED Unlock login key ring needed for Brave Browser startup

Hello. Been with you since MX18. Now using MX23. Firefox has been my browser for probably 20 years. Firefox has done some funky stuff the last few years and I have Brave as my backup browser. I would consider making brave my primary browser but every time I start the Brave browser, it goes to "...

Re: Format Partition Failure at installation

Thanks Bitter Truth. I'll pay attention to that. It was certainly puzzling to see my display show my hard drive full at 99% and error messages showing up there was no more space when the machine died. But equally baffling, I could boot into windows 10 just fine and access all my data just fine so I'...

[SOLVED] Re: Format Partition Failure at installation

I tried installing MX23 again. It went through the installation process just fine. I am now running MX23. The only differences from the first attempt were: At first attempt, I had a dead system that would not fully boot up in MX21 but would allow me to use a live version of MX23 but would not allow ...

Re: Format Partition Failure at installation

Hello fehlix. You have spent a lot of time with me over the last 8 years or so and I feel bad taking everybody's time on a problem. I was in the middle of uploading a manuscript to my publisher and it was pretty important I get up and running by any means possible. I'd love to have MX23 installed an...

Re: Format Partition Failure at installation

I had my MX21.3 iso file still available. I used the same USB drive and USB maker to make a live version of MX 21. I then went through the install process. It automatically filled in ESP for the boot. I selected SDA 5,6 and 7 for root, home, swap. It installed like a charm. I do not understand why M...

Re: Format Partition Failure at installation

I have no idea dolphin oracle. I've always just made the live USB, plugged it in to my desktop, pulled up the live version, went to the installer and it was a done deal. It just would go through and install. I'm just a user and not a computer pro. I'm doing the same routine I've always used to insta...

Re: Format Partition Failure at installation

Sorry j2mcgreg. I'm jockeying between two computers and didn't realize I could get that info from the demo. The desktop is the trouble and I'm copying info to this laptop to deal with the forum. I'm also using the MX21 live USB maker for my USB live drive. Here it is: System: Kernel: 6.1.0-10-amd64 ...
