What I did was extremely simple to do ... and I found the offending setting on the first try. Nevertheless, I checked that none of the others contributed in any way ... all in less than half an hour. I've used the binary search on my 300kB .htaccess file; that's where it was appropriate.

As often happens, Magic Banana's constructive suggestion solved the Pesky-Popup problem. I went to my .config file: cd /home/username/.config, then listed its contents. Next, I plodded through the list of files and directories, each time entering sudo mv filename filename.bak, followed by cli

Two attempts to eliminate the pesky sendmail popup weren't effective. (1) A new username & login eliminates the pesky popup, but it also eliminates access to all my files. (2) I used "sudo mv libfm libfm-save" to hide the libfm folder. No effect. Other candidates for exclusion from ~/.confi

Here's what's happening: When I go to the menu item "Places" and select "Home Folder" from the file menu, after a delay of several seconds a new window appears. It's got "Write" in the title line, my file:///home/username/ folder as a file attachment, and my email and username from a legiti

Please note that I'm not "suggesting" anything, nor do I think it will be of use in your issue. Basically, I think you've broken your system. Only a complete reinstall will do th job. It's just a friendly reminder that there's a nice little file manager out there, now that you asked.

loldier suggested another file manager, xfe. My observation: XFE is free of the present libfm "feature." My other instances of TQ8 are also free of the libfm Home-click sendmail bug. It's just the one exposed to Win10 during operation of the "new" T420. Thanks, George Langford

XFE, X File Explorer, has no dependencies with Gnome. I've been using it a lot in BSD. http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/

Something like this has happened before: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/home-folder-places-points-disk-usage-analyzer but it went unresolved ... I was poking around in ~/.config/dconf/user where it seems rather corrupted, but in my other installations of Trisquel (both TQ7 and TQ8) "user" is si

Update: I returned the Win-10 T420 for credit and set about solving the pop-up email problem. Here's what didn't work: Move the profiles.ini file and gibberish.default folder to a safe place (to a folder I called IceDoveFiles in another HDD inside the "old" T420) with terminal's mv command,

Whenever I try to open a folder (right- or left-click) that pesky Icedove send mail window appears, trying to send that folder as an attachment. That's before I have even started Icedove. I installed a different file manager (PCManFM) and uninstalled the former File Manager (xfce.org) but

One of the email accounts in my newly migrated Icedove has gone rogue, opening a message-composing window whenever I click on a file with file manager. It's just one of my accounts - with the correct name, title etc., but if I wanted to send a message, I would use webmail on the appropriate
