Re: How to burn Hirens PE ISO to USB with linux mint?
So I think I'm back to the question of how can I burn this ISO using mint, so that I end up with a USB similar to as if it were burnt using rufus? No need for special tools: Thanks, you solved it. It now boots and all the utilities are there. I think I can see what's goin' on now. When the hirens P...

OH - BTW - I tried Ventoy et al, and they had a whole nuther set of problems, so that is a no-go. I did create it with Ventoy and have no problems. https://i.imgur.com/KIriwQP.jpeg Thanks for the replies. I gotta chuckle...

How to burn Hirens PE ISO to USB with linux mint - solved?
I'm trying to make a bootable Hirens USB drive. The hirens web page says to use Rufus to burn the ISO to the USB, however I don't have Windows, so I tried burning it using the USB Image Writer in mint 21 XFCE (binary app is called mintstick). The result is that the USB will boot on a machine, howeve...

Re: Help Understanding Packages/Installs
Some great suggestions have been posted on how to remove packages. I may add... even though a person may have issued a command to install some packages, it is possible that those packages were already installed on the machine. So removing them may be problematic. I notice there is a log in /var/log/...

Re: FlatPak: is the huge size difference really worth it for VLC
I'll throw in my 2 cents (got my flameproof asbestos suit on). First with regard to VLC...I've come across several posts where people are having problems with it. The apt repo has version 3.0.16 which is full of bugs. I can't use it, and had to breakdown and get a flatpak version. With regard to fla...

Re: Latest kernel installed on wrong drive (external usb drive)
1, I figure I should ask how to move that latest 91 kernel to its proper spot before I make more of a mess. Should I try and remove that latest 91 kernel using the gui, then do another mintupdate? /CUT/ 2, Not sure if this means I can just delete those 91 kernel files on the usb disk, or are there ...

Latest kernel installed on wrong drive (external usb drive) (solved)
Bear with me, cuz I really don't understand what's going wrong (hopefully this problem clicks with someone). I have a physical machine where I created it from cloning a mint 21 VM. I have been doing mintupdate(s) for a long time with no problem. I recently added a usb drive to the system (just to ho...

Re: Newer v6 kernels are corrupting my disk so it won't boot
This has been an issue for as long as I can remember. I run Fedora which has been kernel 6 for quite some time on my 14w and get the same on a reboot, always have. The kernel is not doing anything to the disk or the machine. It's a bug in the bios. Shutdown and power on works fine, just no reboot. ...

You're stuck on the fact you want a solution. Yes, that's the whole point of posting :-) If everyone just used the workaround that they already know, there would be no posts. Thanks for the info, it looks like you are on the right track about reboot/shutdown being hardware specific as it looks like...

Re: Newer v6 kernels are corrupting my disk so it won't boot
Because if you make a mistake and actually use the machine as it should be used, it borks your machine. . . . So I take it that "power down" does not mean that you are using the Linux Mint Shutdown command? Does that not work?\ Because if it does, then as Linux-Rox says, it's an easy work...

Re: Newer v6 kernels are corrupting my disk so it won't boot
While running 6.2.0-37, if I "power down" the machine and "power-on", it will boot. So, why don't you just do that? As workarounds go, it's pretty easy. Because if you make a mistake and actually use the machine as it should be used, it borks your machine. Plus I have an identic...

Newer v6 kernels are corrupting my disk so it won't boot
I have an odd problem. Mint 21 on a lenovo 14w laptop (it's one of those dirt cheap laptops with an mmc drive and I'm using GPT). It has been working fine for years (aside from the amd stoney graphics never working from day 1). When kernel 5.15.0-86 recently came out, it really messed up the stoney ...

Re: VLC, converting mp4 to mp3, seems to no longer work in Mint 21?
I had nothing but problems with VLC 3.0.16. It is filled with bugs, and it looks like you've found another one. Unfortunately the Ubuntu Jammy repo has never updated the version of VLC. So my only (good) option was to install a newer flatpak version of VLC (at the time it was 3.0.17). My problems we...

Re: VirtualBox network in LMDE
The settings you have now sound good. Note, bridged mode should be fine... the VM will act like any other physical machine on the network, and request a DHCP address from your router. You can also try NAT mode. Your VM will request a local IP from the host machine, but it will still use the other ne...

Re: Is it possible to cast audio on Linux Mint Cinnamon?
I'm not sure if this helps,but.... Check your version of VLC. I am running mint21 (based on Ubunu 22.04) and the 22.04 Ubuntu repository has VLC version 3.16. That version is FULL of bugs, and they've never updated the repository. For example, I cannot cast anything from VLC 3.16. I ended up install...
