I'd start at the beginning - do both VM's have identical settings (including the advanced tab) in the VirtualBox Network tab? The only think that should be different is the MAC. Yes. As you are running in Bridged Mode have you ever told your router to give one VM's MAC and not the other a fixed IP ...

After reading SomeDudeInAZ's reply (which is pretty good, by the way), I realized that Harry's ultimate issue may be making backups, not mounting a docking station in the Guest. You want to make a safety backup of a Guest, right? Forget trying to mount a docking station into the Guest. What you want...

Aloha. I'm running a Windows 7 Home 64-bit guest on a Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon box. I'm using VirtualBox Version 6.0.12 r133076 (Qt5.9.5 as the vm software. Everything works. But I need to mount a drive that is attached to the Linux host via an eSATA docking station to the VM. ... Aloha, Harry, My ...

... https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/#hints I tried reading that. It's written in Martian. I'm human. I needed to get to Paris and I was in a hurry. So I went to my friend, Linux Mint.

The notification spec allows for the sending process to specify various hints to prompt the Desktop Environment how to treat the Notification. One of those hints is the transient hint, and the Network events notifications in Cinnamon are sent with the transient hint. Basically the applet setting to...

Makes sense if you think about it, the setting is specific to the applet and although no one has, there's nothing stopping someone writing and distributing a more feature rich notification applet via Cinnamon Spices (e.g. with a logging function :wink: ). Nah! That would make things too easy for Ne...

In a terminal Crtl-C and Ctrl-V are shell specific functions. This is for historic reasons, Bash's use of these shortcuts long predates the invention of any GUI operating system and the introduction of Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V for copy and paste in GUI operating systems. Specifically Ctrl-C interrupts the...

The ignore transient notifications is in the Notification applet settings not the main Notification settings module. Access it via right click on the applet if it is visible, or via the Applets settings module if it is not. Thanks, Steve. I found it. ...Notifications settings in 2 different places?...

Based on some examples, I figured out how to put dbus-monitor into a script and run it from a menu button:

bash -c "dbus-monitor \"interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications', member='Notify'\";read -p 'Press Enter to continue'"

PS: Don't forget to set '[x] Launch in Terminal?'.

I created a menu selection: 'System Tools' 'Dbus monitor', dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications', member='Notify'" with '[x] Launch in Terminal?' It works, but it won't allow me to copy the text. When I submit Ctrl-c (hoping to then copy the text), the window disappears. :roll: I c...

Man articles never tell you how to do anything. They're written by Martians. Agreed! See here . I'm not quite sure what that is.

Hi, Mark. Basically, both files $HOME/.bash_profile and $HOME/.bashrc are the wrong locations in order to launch an automatic startup application, where your intention is to launch Thunderbird precisely once after you have logged in to the Mint desktop. How do I do it, Karl? How do I start TBird au...
