Linux Mint Forums

I can't find any nice simple GUIs for that but there are many Linux CLI tools for this.

You could try ksysguard which is the KDE version of System Monitor, which is what the Mint DEs call "Task Manager". I'm not on my KDE machine now but I think it's more powerful than the GTK version.

I don't know about the product key situation, but if you do reinstall Windows on the old machine you shouldn't need to wipe the drive beforehand. Windows doesn't recognize the ext4 format used by Mint by default so it'll just think the whole drive is unallocated space. This would be more of a proble...

... I think you're watching too much YouTube, when the answers are there right in-front of you..... :lol: Ain't that the truth. There's no vetting at all in YT. Also, for many Mint users the most important difference is the level of user support. There are some excellent distros like Debian or Arch...

I'm amazed how many people think MS really cares about desktop Linux. They don't. Now, the server end of things, that's a different story. Linux does as well in the server market as they do badly in the home one, and MS desperately wants to build a cloud business.

Searching didn't find any equivalent, and I don't think it's going to be nearly as straightforward. Maybe someone else has done this or similar, but this is the best I can find:

I searched and can't find any dedicated cinelerra user forum. But that's not a huge surprise because it's a genuine pro level program and generally pro users don't really need one. I also couldn't find any mention of an option to save/export ... 'capture' isn't really the right word, by the time the...

Also new users don't always realize that if they installed some DE like the Mate version because they wanted or needed a light and fast DE, if you start adding things like this pretty soon it's not going to be light and fast any more.

Yes, the OP is a bit lacking in detail. It's also not 100% clear what Xswing is to me. My best guess is that it's from here ...

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xswingplus/

... and if so, it doesn;t seem to have been supported since 2010 AFAIK.

The above link was only for the software developed by Linux Mint. GitHub recognizes the use of Bash, C, C++, CSS, JavaScript, Perl, Python and Vala as programming languages for Linux Mint's developed software. But Linux Mint is built on top of Ubuntu and Debian. With well over a thousand additional...

... All that Micro$oft love for Linux gives me the shivers! Did Canonilcal already sold their souls to them? I hope not but seeing all the missing packages and apps in Ubuntu 18.04 makes me feel suspicious (specially knowing that Ubuntu is at Windows 10 store!) Do you really think that the problems...

... From a user's perspective: Why fight bugs that have already been fixed.

Because every release that contains bug fixes also contains new bugs, quite possibly more than before.

Why prolong the pain of a missing feature.

Because new features that are worth the bother are rare.

What settings did you change?

I'm at a loss why that error report mentions Skype, but in any case much of it is in a language I can't read.

It's because of a lack of backwards compatibility in Linux in general. This isn't nearly as unusual as you may think. It's largely why you're always advised to install software for your point release.

I don't know of any trivial applet for this, but in any case you need to supply more system info. Copy/pasyte this to the terminal and copy/paste the text output here:

PROBLEMS have come up after further testing ....

THIS is why beginners should take titles like "need a equalizer? MUST see, BEST EQ" with a big grain of salt. The same personb who posted reports problems with it less than 1 day later.

The point of things like flatpaks is to get around a nasty Linux problem. There are just too many package management systems, library versions, DEs, APIs, and, yes, distros. It's a nightmare trying to write software for all those different systems. SO flatpaks etc basically have the needed libraries...

A bit confused by the line "When I replace them in Spectacle". Not familiar with that program and a quick search of "ubuntu Spectacle" gives me a ubuntu rpm package management toll and a screenshot utility. Need more info in any case ... copy/paste this to the terminal and copy/paste the text output...

Not sure but something like this might be possible. You may be best asking these people. I suspect that's right, though you need to go into the filters and select 'Ubuntu' under "Operating System Support". A quick search of "ubuntu usb graphics card" indicates that DisplayLink has models supporting...

What's yarn? I can't find it in the repos. Is it from PPA? inxi -r would be good. Edit - actually inxi -Fxzr . I'm looking at the 18.3 repo but looking at the Ruby version you might be on 17.x? And I know what yarn is now too - from https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main?? I guess the next ques...
