Re: Upgrade to LM 21.3 with nVidia driver?

Hi, zamlet. I'm running Mint Mate 21.3 with a RTX 2060. Here's a screenshot of the available drivers on this version. Screenshot at 2024-02-15 18-49-56.jpg To question 1 I would say that it will change your driver to 525 version. That's the one which was installed when I upgraded to Mint 21.3 To que...

Re: Impossible to install new font GIMP 2.10.34

Hi Cleobule. The way I install new fonts is to go to home then click on the .config folder, then Gimp folder, then 2.10 folder. There should be a folder marked Fonts in there. I just drag the font file into it and then restart Gimp and the new fonts are installed. I'm using Mint Mate 21.1 and Gimp 2...

Re: Blender is not detecting my GPU.

Hi oelhahn. I'm using Mint 21.1 with the Mate desktop and the 525.60.11 driver for my RTX 2060 and Blender finds my GPU. If you got Blender from the Synaptic Package Manager that could be the problem. The last time I tried that version it didn't work properly and would not find my GPU, but it was a ...

Re: NASA Artemis 1 Launch on Monday 29 August 2022...

Thanks for the info billyswong. So the speed would be constant when flying in a perfect circle due to the gravitational pull from the Earth or Moon being a constant strength, but the pull would grow stronger and weaker if the ship was travelling in a non perfect circle as the strength of the gravity...

Re: NASA Artemis 1 Launch on Monday 29 August 2022...

Thanks Porteve. I hadn't thought about the affects of gravity, but now I see that it will create a drag or a pull effect depending on which way the spaceship is travelling, toward or away from a planet. The gravity does effect the ship for a much greater distance than I had thought though. I get tha...

Re: NASA Artemis 1 Launch on Monday 29 August 2022...

I have been looking at the NASA tracker site for Artemis 1over the last few days and was quite surprised by the speed it has been travelling at. I just assumed that once it was in space it would travel to the moon at a constant speed, but no, that was wrong. I have seen the speed go from about 900mp...

Re: Gimp: switch to multi-window mode dumps me out of my current user session

Hi oohiggins. I'm using the same version of Mint Mate and Gimp that you are using. If I uncheck Single Window Mode the multi window mode comes up without any problems. If I recheck Single Window Mode I go back to the single window mode. I know this doesn't help solve the problem but at least it prov...

Re: "In the old days we...."

I stumbled across it about six months ago on the old AM frequency, I think it's been running again for a couple of years, and it's still on their ...

Re: alt + p shortcut between mate and blender

I also have the Super key set in Window Preferences. I don't have any workspace switchers set up so it might be worth taking it off your system to see if it helps. The only other problem I have heard about is some people have keyboard shortcut problems when they use a different language. It could he...

Re: alt + p shortcut between mate and blender

That's strange. I'm running Mint Mate 21 and Blender 3.3 and alt-p works fine for me, it brings up the clear parent option. The only place I can think to have a look at is Main Menu, All Applications, Preferences and then Keyboard Shortcuts. The alt-p shortcut is not listed on my list but might be d...

Re: I can not use my graphics card in blender 3.2 .

The only other things I can think of are, to try an older version of Blender to see if that helps. I did read that there were a few bugs with the 3.2 version and it was recommended to upgrade to the 3.2.1 version, that's the one I have. A year or so ago I had problems with Blender not seeing my GPU ...

Re: I can not use my graphis card in blender 3.2 .

Not sure if this will help but it might be worth looking in the Driver Manager to see if there is an nvidia driver there that you can switch to. I am running Blender 3.2 and this is the driver I am using Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060 Rev. A] vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: nvidia...

Re: Locked out by GPU driver update.

Thanks for the info SMG. Looks like it's something of a problem for Mate users. I will keep away from the 510 driver until I hear it's safe to use.

Cheers for letting me know about moving the topic.

Locked out by GPU driver update.

Last night I noticed a new driver had been installed via the Update Manager. Not sure why but I got curious and had a look in the Driver Manager to see if the new driver had installed correctly. I didn't notice the version number of the new driver and this led to the problem arising. In Driver Manag...
