Discussion:

  • A member wanted to know how to kill firefox when it freezes. sudo pkill firefox
  • A member wanted to know how to proceed when he gets a message that his file system is corrupted. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/885062/root-file-system-requires-manual-fsck#885066
  • A member wanted to know why his computer would not boot immediately after unmounting a flash drive with Ventoy installed. No solution was offered but the member did have a work around, merely rebooting.
  • A member wanted to know why his computer (only 2 years old and with an ssd) was getting slower and slower. No solution was offered but the member decided to do a clean re-install.
  • David offered a solution to those individuals who must use a Windows program once or twice a year so it is not really worthwhile to install it in Virtual Box. https://github.com/dockur/windows
