Linux Mint v21.3 Virginia. Fresh install. $ sudo apt-get install samba $ sudo apt-get install smbclient $ sudo smbpasswd -a myusername $ sudo service smbd restart $ sudo ufw allow samba cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP map to guest = Bad User dns proxy = no log file = /var/log/...

I actually could use this as well. In my case, I occasionally save an image to the desktop while I am working on it. Sometimes the icon is a thumbnail of the image. Other times it's a generic icon for the image type. When this happens in Nemo I would just reload the folder in Nemo and it would gener...

That did it! Thanks.

fail2ban doesn't restart when I reboot the system. Not sure how to set it up to restart when the system comes up. This is what I have: $ cat /etc/fail2ban/jail.local [sshd] enabled = true bantime = 10h port = 0:65535 findtime = 10m maxretry = 3 backend = systemd $ sudo systemctl start fail2ban $ sys...

I've been using Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition almost since the beginning, so I wouldn't necessarily call myself a beginner... but here I am. LOL. I just installed Linux Mint Cinnamon v21 on an old Macbook Air. Install went relatively well (I managed to get Wifi working without too much googling). The ...

Figured it out.

Turned out I had just copied a .conkyrc from the internet and had the line "xinerama_head = 1" (used in multi-monitor configurations) in it.

Since I only have one monitor, it probably confused the system and kept the monitor on all the time.

Just did a fresh install of LM21. Kept my home directory but wiped the root filesystem. I noticed that even though in System Settings->Power Management->Power Options I have it set to turn off the monitor when inactive for 15 minutes, the screen never turns off. The screen saver goes on as expected ...

Code: Select all

Uptime: 59 days

See if a reboot makes any difference.

LOL.

Thanks. That did it. It never occured to me that I hadn't rebooted in a couple months.

I rebooted and it showed up.

I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.0. I have the default repositories set in Update Manager. I don't see an option to upgrade to 19.1 in the Edit Menu. The only menu items are Preferences, System Snapshots, Software Sources. Can someone help me out? :shock: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are availa...

I looked in that menu. The only menu items are Preferences, System Snapshots, Software Sources.

I did the suggestion to reset my repositories to the default and still can't find the update.

Just an update: this works for me. I burnt a fresh ISO of the latest Linux Mint and installed it over the borked install. I then removed all the hidden ("." files) from my ~/ home directory and ran hp-setup. (I had to install the GUI version of hp-setup to get it to work.) Works fine now w...

Thanks for helping find the problem! I did "hp-uninstall" as well, to get rid of the 3.18.7 bits (since it wasn't installed via synaptic. I then install hplip via synaptic. Unfortunately, I think I may have borked that part of the system. :? $ hp-check Saving output in log file: /home/kart...

Still not working.

Any ideas?

As an update: Printer still only prints blanks when hooked up to my Linux Mint desktop. When hooked into my MacBook it prints fine. I then used the MacBook to install a firmware update (release 20180302), then tried printing on the Linux Mint desktop. Still prints blank pages on Linux Mint, but prin...

so it has enough toner? ... it went suddenly from printing well to blank? what about run hp-check again; and as before if you give us that printout Yes. It went from black to blank. No gray pages in between. It just stopped working. We don't print much (10 pages a month?). $ hp-check Saving output ...

I wondered did you see where hp-check reported to you the missing things that it found: MISSING - Missing Dependency or Permission or Plug-in INCOMPAT - Incompatible dependency-version or Plugin-version I thought that the following lines were just telling me the status types, not that there was a m...

My HP LaserJet M1217 (combination laser printer, scanner, fax machine) has been working with Linux Mint for years. I recently had a slew of problems with my LinuxMint install and initially did a clean install of LinuxMint19. The printer would not print at all. So I wiped my / and did a clean install...

Bump.

Surely someone else has requested this? Or am I not using the right vocabulary?
