Linux Mint Forums

You just HAD to go and create this thread didn't you? Now instead of blocks of updates since yesterday there is an annoyingly steady stream of small updates.....

Could be either your graphics driver or kernel version. Had this problem myself before.

In my case it was the combination of the Nouveau driver and ANY kernel above 4.15 I think it was (can't say for sure now). When I started using the nvidia driver instead the problem went away.

One more thing to refine those renames would be to remove all spaces in file names; in Linux they are a real problem when dealing with files in command line that will be better removed. You can use command rename 's/\ /_/g' path/filename to replace all spaces with an underscore. This will mean you ...

Good job. Mark it a Solved when you are happy. Some might say don't have parens around this: (\s\[) if you aren't going to use it (with \2), but it doesn't really matter. Well I am not an expert on regex obviously but I found this to be the only way to remove the [] from the final name, you will no...

Well..... this thread is awkward.....

I further refined it (so happy with myself now)

Match: ^([A-Z]*[a-z]*.*)(\s\[)([A-Z]*[a-z]*.*)(\b\w+\b)(\])
Replace: \4, \3- \1

NP I have not been too fast either. This works well enough thanks. You did definitely help me on to the correct track though. I have noticed though that krename seems to be a bit bugged when it comes to regex. https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk though works perfectly fine in wine but your syntax do...

We really don't want to encourage everyone with a non-Mint problem to come to this forum for solutions. Send me a private message and we can continue this offline.

How about I report it and it gets moved to "chat about linux" instead?

Using rename: rename -n 's/([^ ]*) \[(.*)\](\.[^.]*)/$2 [$1]$3/' * Test it thoroughly. Remove the '-n' when you think it's good to go. That takes the word before the [] and then moves it to the end and put's it in []...... What I want to do is move the bit currently in [] to the front. Apologies fo...

Oh great, another moron that thinks he instantly wins an argument by calling something a "conspiracy theory"...... best to just ignore him.

I have a lot of files that need to be inverted and regular expressions always manage to confugle my brain. Part of the problem might be that the filenames have [] parts. Basically some genius that shall remain unnamed ill sorted these creating a right royal mess of files and I have to fix it. The fi...

To be fair to windows some things it does right. Last week a firefox update made my LM system so unbootable and I had to fsck /home from a live usb..... neva managed that on windows.

Solved by adding the gid and uid to the boot parameter list.

The need to restart to make the changes happen was throwing me off.

it would not be a good security move to mount the partition as normal user if it's in the root file system.

It's even worse security to browse as root just for trash bin functionality....

EDIT: it's not root though if you meant root linux or windows drives, storage partitions shared with windows

First I mounted the partitions within nemo Went to Disks and copied the parameters and enabled mount at startup x-gvfs-show,nosuid,nodev,nofail, 0 0 When I mount a partition within nemo trash works fine and the owner is me When I automount the owner is root and trash does not work but I can still co...

What is the current consensus regarding reference books? Which ones are the best all rounders? I know of the Linux Bible and Linux for Dummies AIO books with the former seeming to the superior one, what are the best alternatives? I'm not looking for anything too specialized like command line or fire...

It's not the kernel that's the problem. It's that each major kernel shift is accompanied by a base repo shift. The backwards incompatibility problems come from this almost symbiotic relationship and software developers tending to advertise their system requirements based on kernel version instead of...

Necroing this thread because the one I wanted to post to was locked. I noticed a pattern here when comparing folders that had the poblem to folders that don't. The one's that work allows you to in pemissions edit the group permissions of sudoshare. The one's that don't immediately jump back to your ...

Some people in this and other topics frequently complain about the lack of the documentation and step by step guides. I understand it can be frustrating when you donated hundreds of your dollars or euros to some Linux team and still can't get off the ground in the documentation department. Anyway t...
