Linux Mint Forums

Found a program called fdmount for this, the ubuntu manpage only lists a tarball source:

That should be the 18.04 tab, which is what you'd want for Mint 19.

It may be easier if you can get hold of a USB floppy drive.

Linux DE themes are an unreliable bucket of worms, even worse than Windows. I gave up 3rd party themes years ago.

VLC is actually pretty buggy (and quite over rated IMO), does this happen with other media players?

Of course it can be done, it's actually trivial, but open source development staffs aren't exactly under worked.

First thing I'd do re app setups is copy the relevant hidden config files fro the old /home to the new one. They're just text files, as you'd expect in Linux. I've reinstalled many times on my netbook (distro/DE hopping netc), which has a separate partition for /home. I've almost always kept the hid...

Thank you everyone.
I am sorry, but I don't like to share detailed computer information on the internet.....

Then you are never going to get any sort of decent Linux support anywhere and indeed may as well go back to Windows.

Where did this idea that cortana or alexa would pass a turing test come from???? Because it's not true.

If it really works I'd happily take a 15-20% speed reductiuon for the security. Getting hacked would be a lot more time consuming.

My browser and any app that is internet facing is sandboxed with firejail but in addition I use a few security addons; IDN Safe (IDN Safe blocks internationalized domain names also known as punycode domains. This helps you to identify them and will prevent you from visiting probable fake sites....

if the world ends tomorrow and is overrun by zombies, software is the least of your problems....

I'm not worried about the zombie apocalypse, the crows will eat them all.

I don't worry about taking up space with more than one program either.

No problem, having a healthy file cache is one of the best performance tweaks for media players around. That's why it flummoxes me why they'd put it in Input/Codecs. But then IMO VLC is just about the most over rated program I know of. The interface is silly and the performance is lacking. SMplayer'...

Dont't know, reboot and see for yourself.

Haven't myself but that is NOT unusual in Linux. That's why the Mint update policy is so useful re kernel updates.

Looking at this ...

... it's not at all apparent what it has to do with OCR software.

You don't specify what package so it's hard to tell really, and I don't use 19. However, it's not inconceivable that you could have a Debian sourced package in a Ubuntu based distro. Ubuntiu is Debian based. That woulldn't concern me in itself. Also, Linux doesn't use enormous monolithic system file...

Even better article IMO:

While Linux is the only desktop I use now, at this point I have adopted the old Unix mantra, ie. "everything else is worse".

There's not a lot of useful info there, copy/paste this to the terminal and copy/paste the text output here:
Also the make/model of the usb to hdmi adapter.

As mentioned, do NOT install Ubuntu softweare center, and never assume that because you're using UBuntu nased Mint that you can do anything recommended for UBuntu. They aren't identical. You should probably learn how to use SYnaptic Package Manager, which is what most people use to install after a w...

I'm guessing there is something very simple that I'm missing here? Yes, as mentioned you're using a 3rd party source, I suspect a .tar file, and using 3rd party sources is something Linux beginners are usuallly advised not to do. For good reason. Those dependency libraries, if you did manage to ins...
