'delete_self' events occur when a file or directory that is being specifically monitored are deleted. In my case this is a directory - in my post above "/home/user/dir/to/AutoCopyToServer/". 'delete_self' events do not occur when files in a monitored directory are deleted. You are correct ...

The script looks fine to me. Yes the script works perfectly - I tested it with multiple log-in / log-outs. I only added the script to my post to help others whom might read this thread and need help writing a Bash launch script that makes sure multiple instances of a command don't end up being crea...

Thanks vimes. You were absolutely correct about everything. I now call a launcher script which contains the inotify/xargs command from "Startup Applications" and it works perfectly. To prevent multiple instances of the inotifywait command from running, the first thing the launcher script d...

I'm using `inotifywait` to monitor file activity in a directory. When a `close_write` file event occurs the file's path is passed via `xargs` to a custom script which does a few things but the most important of which is to copy the file to a remote server. It works nicely when run from the command l...

I don't think xdotool can take a display like that, although the similar tool xte can with the x flag, e.g. xte -x :0 'mouseclick 2' . Also there's no need to pipe the commands using echo. "xdotool mousedown 2" m:0x0 + c:225 XF86Search "xdotool mouseup 2" release + m:0x0 + c:225 ...

Thanks. Actually to turn them off - so the notification does not pop-up and just gets added to the notifications applet and stays there until manually cleared - users need to click on the user applet (head and shoulders icon) in the system tray and turn notifications off there. That did the trick fo...

Deactivate in the user applet the display of notifications.

Thanks. Would that be this one?

Is there any way to extend the time a notification is displayed for and to prevent notifications from being automatically deleted a few seconds later? At the moment on Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Cinnamon 64-bit 2.2.16, the on-screen notifications disappear after 2-4 seconds and they are deleted from the n...

Thanks for the pointer Cosmo - stupidly I only searched the Cinnamon forum for a solution, oops.

Version Info: Firefox 46.0.1 on Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Cinnamon 64-bit 2.2.16 From time to time Firefox's location bar and search bar drop-down list boxes are displayed totally out of position when I type in the location or search bar, often nowhere near the actual Firefox window. This happens only f...

For the scrollbar, this works for me in Cinnamon: Add in file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini (create if it does not exist): [Settings] gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=false As for MATE, I am not sure. Does it still use the gtk-2 settings infrastructure? In this case, the file would most probably be...

I'm currently running LM 17 Qiana (Cinnamon 2.2.16) but I'll be installing LM 18 Sarah when it gets released. Since I skipped upgrading to 17.1, 17.2, and 17.3 I'll be performing a clean install. In the past when I've upgraded Mint with a clean install I've found it annoying that the keyboard shortu...

Aware but apparently not interested, or at least inactive.

I confirm that mattst 's fix above worked for me. Instead of deleting the existing "weather@mockturtl" directory, I renamed it to "OLDweather@mockturtl". Same effect, but allowed me to revert if the fix hadn't worked. Thanks, mattst ! Glad to help. Just to give credit where it i...

A fix on GitHub is now available. Users need to download the zip file on this page: https://github.com/ccprog/cinnamon-weather/tree/ccprog-yahoo-new-format and replace the contents of their `~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/weather@mockturtl` directory with the contents of the zip file's `cinnamon-we...

The weather applet , as distinct from the weather desklet, will work again if you do the following: Go to https://github.com/mockturtl/cinnamon-weather/issues/134, copy the text file at "applet.txt" shown in the post by 4t4h3cl and substitute that for the existing contents of applet.js fo...

That's what I thought - but I hoped there was an unobvious key combination that I hadn't tried or some obscure way of configuring it.

When using Scale each window on the active workspace can be selected using the arrow keys, however when using Expo the arrow keys select which workspace you want to switch to - is there a key combination which allows you to select which window you want on any of the workspaces as well? In other word...

In: Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Cinnamon 64-bit 2.2.16 This fix probably applies to other versions of Cinnamon as well. Possible problems when adding custom keyboard shortcuts, to be specific: System Settings --> Keyboard --> Keyboard Shortcuts --> Custom Shortcuts Can't add a new custom shortcut properly....

EDIT: Please note that I have now turned the post below into a detailed tutorial, which has more information and is much better written. It is in the tutorials section of this forum. Cinnamon Custom Keyboard Shortcuts Fix: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=215721&p=1126536 Hi...
