I use Cinnamon, Mint 13. And I have this highly annoying warning sign pop-up, appearing all over the place. See image below.
Please, what is it and how do I get rid of it?
Google gives me nothing.
thanks

Re: Annoying pop-up
Thanks for the reply, but I forgot to mention, it is not browser related.
It will appear even if I only see the Desktop, and no browser is running.
Any other ideas? Could it be network related?

Re: Annoying pop-up
Don't know myself. But would imagine someone else is familiar with the problem and will chime in.

Re: Annoying pop-up
That looks similar to the volume indicator in my cinnamon but it's not actually for the volume by the looks of it, the size shape and position's the same but I don't know what you'd call the one on your desktop. I didn't know there were any other notifiers like this for anything else, be interesting to find out what it is . . . . . sorry i can't help though !
Re: Annoying pop-up
Indeed it's a volume - brightness - touchpad - media... notification. Perhaps you accidentally hold a multimedia key?
Re: Annoying pop-up
Aha... sounds possible.
I'll replace the keyboard and see what happens. Reporting back later.

Re: Annoying pop-up
I didn't have a keyboard with any settings buttons, but it might have been a button combo-error. The keyboard was at least 6 years old.
Replaced it a few hours ago. No pop-ups yet, and I had hundreds before. Marking this as solved.
Thanks for your input.
