this is weird: after I sent my post to cochiselinux@freelists.org I got this email back....

Hope I got this straight, and this is the place to post questions:
Have made a persistent USB of Ubuntu 18.04. Which worked fine until I tried to boot my mac mini (2009) It booted fine for a couple of times then the boot partition got messed up. It won't even boot on a PC now. Here's the error message:
(initramfs) Mount: mounting/cow on/root failed: Invalid argument overlay mount failed.

I put a lot of time into creating and setting this up with apps etc. Is there a way to rectify this?

Thanks, Charles

Greetings All,

I hope each of you are well.

Just $0.02 put in for an alternative (fewer bits to type and supports the same goal).

pkill snap-store

sudo snap refresh

Cheers!

To install local deb packages with apt you need to provide the full path to the deb file. If the file is located in your current working directory instead of typing the absolute path, you can prepend ./ before the package name. Otherwise, apt will try to retrieve and install the package from Ubuntu’s repositories.

sudo apt install ./teamviewer_amd64.deb

To install a tar archive you have to extract the content.

# How to install using TAR:

# I download your file vdhcoapp-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 to one of my
directories the ~/Donwload.

$ cd ~/Download

# there I extracted the archive

$ tar -xvPpf vdhcoapp-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

# tar will create a child directory (P) within ~/Download directory #
called
# vdhcoapp-2.0.19
# there you will find:
# ffmpeg
# ffprobe
# filepicker
# LICENSE.txt
# README.md
# vdhcoapp
# _xdg-open

# README.md file has all the instructions for installation, just opened
# with any editor like nano
