#326 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] safely remove xfce » 2024-09-05 08:48:25
searching the forum for "task-xfce-desktop" gives over a page of results.
adding "metapackage" narrows it down to three.
one of those three contained this threadpost by administrator fsmithred:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=321#p321
it should also be noted that there is a difference between using "purge" and "remove"

as long as you are adequately backed-up, you can always make alterations and see what happens(especially after a warm-restart and/or cold-boot)

minimal-live: A full-featured, console-based recovery tool with a focus on accessibility for visually-impaired and blind users. Uses the refractainstaller.
you will have better experience with:
desktop-live: Explore the default Xfce desktop before installing. Then install easily and quickly from the live session using the refractainstaller. Firmware is installed but can easily be removed.

had a similar experience when my active partition had very little free space left. don't remember how "little" the actual amount was. as always, your mileage may vary.

while pointed out in another forum thread, the suggested reading is definitely informative and sharable.

have used clonezilla and partedmagic for many years with much success
clonezilla is free

partedmagic is more "full-service" and well-worth their minimal charge(imho)

copying _anything_ in an incorrect way has the potential to alter ownerships and/or permissions
(hard to check 1000's of files/folders for complete correctness)
hopefully your original is _still_ intact and completely correct
unless you can verify the complete correctness of any/all copies you should consider them _not_authentic_duplicates_
(especially and specifically with respect to ownerships and permissions)
also, just to clarify, a backup isn't a backup if it is just on a different partition of the same physical device
operations on the underlying formating/partitioning of any/all storage devices should be considered totally destructive of _all_data_ on that device
keep us posted on your progress!

#344 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Laptop shuts down instead of suspend » 2024-08-15 17:32:27
without knowing the history of the machine and components one can only speculate.
what other operating system(s) have you had complete successful operation(s) with?
perhaps a stick of ram is going bad, or random hdd/ssd glitches, have had brand new equipment that wasn't functioning properly and have corrected the proper operation by unplugging and replugging cables/cards/drives/etc.
as always, your mileage may vary and some procedures may void some warranties.
