Thank you!

I'm posting this primarily for consideration by Mint's package maintainers. I understand the complexity of that statement, given that Mint is based on ubuntu and consequently there may be significant limits to the management of "upstream" packages [and if this is the case, please let me kn...

OK, I think I just out-smarted myself. I cautiously tried the approach with the first couple of possible issue entries, which worked just fine, until I got the issue list down to this:- $ sudo dpkg --verify ??5?????? /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/distribution.ini ??5?????? /usr/share/applications/li...

Pjotr, Thank you, again, for your advice and your patience. I followed your instructions, to the letter, including the MS fonts, even though I haven't consciously installed them myself. However, I've also used dpkg in the past and I remembered that it had a verify option, so I went hunting for synta...

I am grateful for your reply. I set out to try the fix you recommended, but I'm seeing something a little unusual. Oh, and... never say never, but I am 99.99% sure that I did not directly or personally install "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" - because I have a very specific set of TTF fonts th...

Sorry in advance. This really feels like a silly question. Earlier this year I performed a clean installation of 21.3/Virginia, Cinnamon Edition, on brand new hardware. It's running perfectly and I'm really happy with performance and stability. However, I'm currently seeing something unexpected in t...

Andy - thank you!

For anyone else who found their way to this thread... I can confirm that the 22.04 edition of MySQL Workbench (8.0.36) works with Mint 21.3.

Hello Everyone, Hoping that someone might be able to guide me out of dependency hell... I'm in the process of migrating from an old PC to a new machine, in the process of which I'm upgrading from a dual-boot configuration with Windows 10/Mint 20.3:Una over to Windows 11/Mint 21.3:Virginia. The whole...

Hello everyone... Sharing just in case this proves useful to others. "Old" Setup:- Mint 20.3 Una / 64-Bit / Cinnamon - built as a workstation My filesystem table configuration [/etc/fstab] was, in part, set to give me connections to a QNAP TVS-672XT NAS and a Raspberry Pi 4B operating as a...

Hello everyone, posting this here just in case others have a similar issue. Original Problem: Upgrading from Kernel 5.13.* (specifically, I was running 5.13.0-40, 64-bit) to kernel 5.15 resulted in a hang during system reboot. using F8 during the boot process and watching progress of service start-u...

OK, here's a completely different solution that might be of interest to readers... It is now possible to buy a small electronic device that is able to split an audio signal out of an HDMI video feed. In other words, this solution would help someone who has a PC running Mint, who wants 5.1 audio, but...

One thing I noticed is that even though it doesn't list digital surround, I still have surround sound coming out of the speakers. I think that is going to depend somewhat on your specific setup. I'm using the ASRock Z390M-ITX/ac motherboard, but I handle sound using the off-board Creative X7 DAC. W...

Hello Metalfyre, A few things for you here. Firstly, a vote of confidence - if there is anyone on the planet who can help you fix this, it's MrEen... Secondly, It really is worth going back over the thread and following this step-for-step again. Two reasons; firstly, you might find something that yo...

With the spike in domestic electricity costs, one of the measures I've taken to try and reduce consumption is to employ the "Power Schedule" feature of my QNAP NAS. I have a pair of QNAP devices, a TVS-672 which serves as my primary, and a TS-670, which I use as a backup. I have backup job...

Two days ago I took delivery of a 2021 edition of the LG Gram 16 laptop. The specific model identifier is: 16Z90P-K.AA78A1... which is the 16" model with a black case, 2560x1600 screen, 1Tb (LG branded) NVMe M.2 SSD and 16Gb RAM. I rebuilt the machine to dual-boot with Mint (including swapping ...

Tacking one more post on to this thread to report a subtle difference from Mint 20.1 to Mint 20.2 with respect to NTFS partitions... On versions of Mint prior to 20.2, I would expect something like this in /etc/fstab to work:- UUID=0123456789ABCDEF /media/ntpart ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 0 I ...

Tor Browser is already in the default software repositories. Simply install the torbrowser-launcher package. That provides a launcher on your system that when you start it downloads the official Tor Browser release, or downloads an available newer version, and installs it on your system and then ru...

Hello Everyone... Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong thread... but it seems like Graphics Cards might be a good place to start. Writing to ask if anyone has yet had any success getting HDR playback to work with any configuration of Mint? I have 3 machines with 3 different graphics hardware c...

Just a quick and simple suggestion... Would it be possible for Mint to consider adding the Tor Browser in to the default package libraries please? Every day we see more and more examples of privacy-invading techniques designed to track us across the web. Apple recently announced that they would offe...

Sorry for chipping in to this conversation un-invited, but wanted to share something that might be of interest... Last Christmas I built a new machine based on an ASRock Z390m-ITX motherboard and an I9 9900 in a Streacom FC8 fanless case... Since the mainboard didn't have optical audio output (my pr...
