Re: My Daily drivers 2TB SSD died this morning

Hello all,

What are the 'very tell-tale signs' of a dying ssd?

I'm pretty much 100% ssd now, so my backups are ssd as well.

I'd led myself to believe that ssds don't just die. That they just 'shrink' as memory goes bad.

Thank you.

Re: using logitech keyboards

Are they bluetooth? If the little light is blinking blue, it's trying to connect bluetooth, if it's blinking white, it's trying to connect to the 'unifying receiver'.

Hope this helps.

Re: Brother Printers and cups-browsed — HOW TO

Hello all,

Adding on.. Hoping this helps someone in the future.

Fed up with HP, I recently switched to a Brother HL-L2395DW laser all-in-one.

I did my research, and believed that the printer would work on linux.

However, the Brother driver finder system kept saying 'no drivers found.'

Turns out ...

Re: Best color theme for poor vision?

Not sure if this applies, but I've always found pure black and pure white to be very hard on my eyes. So when ever I can, I lighten the background, and pick a fairly bold color for the text.

Hope this helps.

Re: Problem with kolourpaint paint program

I would first install kinit.

It solves a lot of the 'save' problem, I'm not sure yet if it solves all of it.

Hope this helps someone.

Re: Ideas for a "Quick Start" document

I've thought in the past that a 'first start up' wallpaper, that had explanations, references to like, the user manual, the wiki, this forum... and some simple definitions, because some of the program names are screwy, like 'cd/dvd burner = xfburn', etc. might be a big help.
