[SOLVED] Upgrade to LM19.3 with different results
I have three machines that I just upgraded to LM19.3. All run LM main Cinnamon, and all use the same repo sources. I did all the upgrades from the graphical Update Manager, using the option "Upgrade to LM19.3". Everything went without any errors, and all machines boot fine afterwards. Two ...

Re: install Oracle Java8
The license of Oracle Java makes it impossible for operating system developers to distribute Oracle Java with their operating system. This isn't a suggestion Linux Mint can do anything with. I think maybe I was not clear. I am not suggesting LM pre-install Oracle-Java. I am suggesting LM pre-instal...

Re: [RESOLVE] Find the name of Ubuntu version with Mint
Was just looking for this solution today. On LM-Sarah 'lsb_release -ur' returns "lsb_release: error: no such option: -u". However, others mentioned the file `/etc/os-release`, but I think you are all using it wrong. The more elegant solution, IMHO, is: $ source /etc/os-release $ echo $UBUN...

install Oracle Java8
I know that LM is going away from including all the proprietary stuff on the install media. I created the following script that I use to install Oracle Java8. Perhaps this script could be included in a future version LM? #!/bin/bash -e # # filename: /usr/local/sbin/oracle-java-installer # documentat...

Re: clear bash history on logout, not [solved]

Re: clear bash history on logout, not [solved]
That's messed up. The file permissions were the issue! FYI: the history is written to .bash_history when you exit a terminal. Since my permissions were messed up, the file could not be written to. I run two separate machines: LM17-XFCE and LM17-Cinn. Both are fresh installs, and both have this probl...

Re: Updating Eclipse Errors and Where is Java 1.8?
The Java installed on most Linux systems is OpenJDK Java 7, which is the latest available.
There is also a Sun Java8, latest available, but Sun license restricts where and how this can be installed. Perhaps this guide would be of interest to you.

Re: Nemo won't open Downloads folder Mint 17.1
Do you have previews turned on? For that many files, that could take a while to load up.

clear bash history on logout, not [solved]
Hello *. I am running LM17.2. Whenever I close a terminal (logout) my bash history is cleared. How do I stop that? This did not used to happen, but I am not sure what version this was introduced in. I searched through all the bash startup files, and there is a lot of them, and could find the culprit...

Re: fresh Guest account
I suspect we have a misunderstanding.
Every single thing you said so far, I already knew. What I am trying to say is: the procedure you describe used to work, but does not anymore. However, in this case I am not sure if it is a bug or just a feature that I used to exploit.
Thank You.

Re: fresh Guest account
Right. And one thing that control (or from command line) allows you to do is to set the user's home location. In older LM versions I was able to set it to /tmp, which automatically gets wiped every time you reboot the machine, and whenever this guest account would log in, their home was recreated fr...

Hello all. I would like to create a Guest account on my box, that gets wiped each time the account is used by someone that just "needs to quickly check something". It used to be, in the days of LM10, that when I created the account I would just define their home in /tmp/home/guest. Today r...

Re: Running task when system has no interactive use
From what you describe, this would require a lot of interaction with the application in question - which you did not mention. Does the app itself have the option to restart a process after you stop / kill it? Have a look at 'cron' and 'nice', and see how far those get you. Have a look at some of the...
