yes I set the machine up as user = user
password = user with auto login

so ...
user
user

once off the disc and booted it would not let me use that as a password.
I just did an edit of grub and rw init=/bin/bash to make a longer one.

Go ahead try it ...

installer short password During install you can use a short password like 4 characters, but once rebooted and you try to log in it says you can't use short passwords. I knew how to change the password using the boot disc, but that's a minor bug that should be patched or at least add the verbiage to ...

Tried on multiple machines works out of the box until I try it on lmde4 - screws the pooch using flatpak version on both and the LMDE version has options for incoming port for transfers and another for registration but the xfce one only has the one transfer option.

Pity. They all seem to be labelled wrong as well with some asinine statement like "say thank you to IPTV-org! message

I installed thunar and got the same thing It looks like it's calling /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo-1/exohelper the problem is that xfce folder isn't there The question is what should be in there and what command is being executed because it is also coming up permission denied or change it to g...

Where is that setting in xfce?

I'm using nvidia 390.141-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 just fine. An update for that driver borked one wine game. What is odd is the update is the same version number as what is installed.

Jumping to mint 19.3 worked for me except 2 things. One my Thunderbird minimize to tray is no longer supported (no biggie), and all my win games except one are working fine. Of course the one game that isn't is the one I used the most and also the one that has a crack in the cd so I can't reinstall ...

Wine is now up to version 5.3 but our repos for stable are still on version 1.6
When can we expect stable to get bumped up to oh say ver 2 or maybe 3? Or is this another case of repo decrepitude like when Kdenlive was on version 15 and the repos were on version ZERO?

Suggestion for Software Manager : A What is NEW section.
There is an editors pick section and a categories section but a "what's new in the last 6 months" might be nice. and maybe a top 10/20 most used programs list inside the categories section.

kdenlive went from v0 to v16 over 15 years and is one of the top three programs of it's category. Making the jump from v0 to v16 after it's been in the repos for 13 years isn't a frozen software selection, it's a fossilized one. Again I'm not saying we need the latest versions at all times but maybe...

You need arch is horrible advice. Read MY post again. I don't need the LATEST software I'd just like to know there are people actively keeping things as up to date as they can be still maintaining stability. Seriously Kdenlive jumped from 0.9 to 16. That shouldn't happen!! no piece of software shoul...

So if an app is using an ANCIENT version like Kdenlive was still using version 0.9 yes that's a leading zero , it is the Mint team we should be poking with a stick not some other group like debian stable?? I noticed kdenlive jumped from version 0.9 to 16.12.2 with mint 18.1 FreeOrion is now 0.4.5 fr...

Something happened exiting a wine game. Screen resolution gets adjusted on exit. It's didn't, when I manually tried I couldn't get it to behave properly, as in the screen overlay wasn't quite right.

It appears my external drives are no longer auto mounting. As this is where my wallpapers are it means I have to manually mount and then reset the directory location.

Turned on in "Disks" edit mount options.

Headphone & monitor speakers on at the same time. Had to go into alsamixer and turn on "Jack sense" this option is totally missing from volume control sound settings AND SHOULDN'T BE!! (although that's probably criticism for Ubuntu or Debian. http://ubuntuguide.net/fix-sound-still-comi...

KDENLIVE ISSUES As the other distros I was trying all seemed to have the same issue I simply nuked Mint and reinstalled. Tried kdenlive again from the software manager, it froze. I uninstalled. I went to the ppa and installed from there and ONLY THEN ran all the updates for the OS. So far it appears...
