Mouse without "primary selection"

I have just reinstalled my computer with Linux Mint 20.3 Mate, and unfortunately my mouse works without "primary selection", no middle click for paste. Same issue with another mouse. Can I do something to make it work?

Firefox starts at another workspace

How can I force Firefox to launch at my current workspace? It continues annoyingly to launch at the same workspace it was used previously.

Re: Translation not available

It not because it must not be in English, I just do not understand why a translation is not being used. Why ask people to contribute then?
Anyway, I'm curious, didn't know that pyrenamer had a pendant, thank you for the hint.

Translation not available

I have installed pyrenamer, but it is not in my own language. In launchpad I can see that it is 100% translated, with the latest update 7 years ago! Is there anything I can do that can help this translation on its way to the repository?

Shutter without editing tool

I have just installed shutter, but I miss the editing tool. I remember having had that problem before, but have also forgotten how to fix it. Any clues?

Forum security

I have just changed my mail address. Luckily I have chosen a unique mail for this forum, I get a lot of spam on it daily. I do not hope that I have to change it again soon.

BTW Sorry if this is not the right forum for this topic, I did not know which one to use.

Re: Customizing login window

Ok, so I have to use another theme. Then I'll leave it for a while, it doesn't seem to be that easy finding one I like that also supports the userlist. But thanks anyway.

Re: Customizing login window

Hi again

I think you misunderstood me, I do not want another theme, I want my user name displayed on the login screen so that I only have to type the password to login.

Thanks, nomko, I'll study your links.
BTW it is not me calling it a 'face browser', it's the Login Window settings manager in the control center.

<SOLVED>Customizing login window

After two weeks with Mint/Mate I am quite satisfied, it seems solid and well thought-out. And I like the high ability to customizing the appearance, which I did not succeed concerning the login window. In the Login Window Preferences>Users I can choose to 'inclue all users from /etc/passwd (not for ...

Re: Virtualbox guest additions - installation problem

Thanks a lot! I choosed to install a new VM Mint with Mate, to be sure to have a clean guest OS. And you are right, the guest additions are there and they work!

Re: Virtualbox guest additions - installation problem

Linux Mint comes with VirtualBox guest additions installed and automatically loaded. Do you mean that when I install a virtual Mint in VBox it knows that it is a VBox machine and then automatically install the guest additions?

Re: How to add a desktop

Dear Miss Bit Welcome to Linux Mint and hope you enjoy it. It can be a 'bit' of a learning curve but it is worth sticking with. IMHO Cinnamon is a 'prettier' desktop if you have the hardware for it. Cairo-dock is fun too if you like the 'Mac' look. You can have a lot of fun trying different desktop...
