Linux Mint Forums

Thank you for your reply. I did search on this topic, but I couldn't understand the answers. Many go into all sorts of details, and I found them far beyond my beginner web developer expertise. I know the Mint forum isn't really the place to post this query, but I figured my problem is so basic that ...

I have a very basic question about a new website I just created. Google won't index any of the pages beyond the home page. The Google Search Console error message is "Duplicate without User-Selected Canonical" for the web pages. My guess is it's because you can access my pages in any of se...

Thank you, I'll try converting it to UTF-8. Cheers.

Hi,

From googling I found that an INF file is a Windows file that some websites say is a plain-text file.

But I sure can't read it using a Linux editor or LibreOffice Writer, so I suspect that it's not really plain-text.

Anyone know how I can read the contents of an INF file?

Thank you.

Thank you so much !

That worked perfectly.

I was wracking my brain on this one.... it seems there are so many CSS attributes and I just couldn't find the one I needed.

Thank you again!

Does anyone know how to code CSS to wrap text around an image that has a caption at the bottom of it? So -- I'm trying to add a caption underneath a figure (using figcaption). Then I want the text to flow around the figure and its caption. I seem to be able to EITHER have the caption at the bottom o...

Rhinox, Maybe it will help to break down the problem into 3 parts. Step 1 -- ensure you have two partitions that have both been encrypted with the same password. Step 2 -- set it up so that the login process prompts you for the password for the new partition (let's call it sdb10 that you want to mou...

Success! I applied the exact same changes as in my previous post -- to an entirely different computer -- and they worked! So something is wrong with my primary computer. Perhaps it is because it mixes SSDs and a very slow old HDD? Who knows? Anyway, I will mark this thread completed. I've got it fig...

Thank you for your replies. I read the other thread and the How-to's recommended. I tried the absolute simplest case -- have the system prompt me during login for the password to open the secondary encrypted partition. sdb5 is the name of the encrypted partition I want to open upon login. To cryptta...

When I login to my computer, it automatically unlocks my encrypted boot partition for my use. Is there some way for the login to also automatically unlock a 2nd encrypted partition as well? The only way I know to unlock a 2nd encrypted partition is to go to DISKS and manually unlock and mount it fro...

Thanks for your reply. I finally figured out my problem. Since I didn't know the UEFI/BIOS settings the first time I went into them on the Asus, I didn't set them properly for a legacy Linux boot. So it thought my Mint disk was actually a Windows Recovery Disk. And it actually marked it as such! IOW...

Hi, I have an old ASUS M11BB-B07 model computer I picked up. It used to run Windows. I want to run Mint on it. I'm using a Mint boot disk I've used on other computers. I turned off Secure Boot in the ASUS UEFI/BIOS, and also enabled the LEGACY boot options. But whenever I try to boot with the Mint d...

I'm no expert but here's my two cents. AFAIK, hardly anyone uses sh. I don't think I'd use it for a lingua franca or to distribute code in. Bash is the default shell for nearly all linux distros. Zsh is default for just a few, like for example, Kali Linux. At various times in my career I've used Ksh...

Wow, nobody but me? I use Bash when I need to do something in the shell, and Rexx when it's more of an application development situation. I like them both... Bash for its power (esp regular expressions), and Rexx cause it's easy to remember. Cheers.

Anyone here scripting with Rexx? I've been using Regina Rexx out of the standard repository for some time. Mainly for text processing tasks. I just wanted to mention that membership in the Rexx Language Association is now free (previously $24/year). It's a good place to get your Rexx questions answe...

Thank you! I appreciate the help.

I want to hand-code a pesonal website in HTML and CSS. I'm looking for recommendations for a tutorial book that will help me learn this. The parameters -- 1. I want to hand-code because I want to avoid lock-in with a specific development tool, or a specific host 2. This would be a personal website, ...

Thank you all for your help. @xenopeek, with your good summary of the line commands, I think I'll be able to use them just fine. Thanks.

Anyone know of a GUI app to manage systemd? (I'm running Mint 19 with XFCE). The Settings panel for Session and Startup in XFCE is very limited in what it allows you to control. I'd like to gain better control of the services my system starts at boot time without issuing line commands if possible. T...
