I just 'upgraded' from Mint 19.2 to 19.3, Cinnamon 2 days ago, using the automatic upgrade option. The upgrade went smooth without any hitch. In the release notes and new features, I read that 19.3 is supposed to have Celluloid for multimedia player, but my system still has Xplayer as the default an...

I have Mint 19.2 Cinnamon, fully updated. When I switch to 'INDIAN' keyboard, no key works in the default text editor (I believe it is Edx). Keys also do not work in file manager. All keys work properly when I am in Libre office. Anyone having a solution?

After some searching and trial, I was able to install the Inscript keyboard for Hindi language. Here is what finally worked: From the software manager in Mint, install "ibus" and "ibus-m17n" In the menu search bar, type "ibus". It will show up "ibus preferences". Click to open. Select the Input Meth...

No, this did not help. I still have not been able to find out how to get the standard INSCRIPT keyboard working (on Mint 18.2 now). For typing in a n umber of Indian languages, more particularly in Hindi, Inscript is the accepted standard in India. There were earlier many keyboards under various oth...

I have Mint 18.1 serena, and have installed ibus and hindi language. But I am not able to find and install INSCRIPT keyboard, which is the stndard keyboard for typing in Indian languages, including hindi. I do find INDIAN as one of the keyboard options, but it is not the same as the standard INSCRIP...

I have Linux Mint Serena (18.1),Cinnamon, and in System Settings - Administration - Login Window I have the following settings: E...

I am having a similar problem while using Mint Cinnamon Sarah - wifi connection is not only lost when resuming from suspend, but my wifi network also does not show up in the list. I have to restart the system to get back wifi again. From the above it looks that the cause has been found and a modific...

I am using Mint 18 cinnamon. For sometime now I have been experiencing mouse click problem. Most of the time, a single click works like multiple clicks. I have set single click to select and double click to open. But most often, single click on a folder in file browser results in the folder opening ...

Thank you very much for your help.
The problem is now fully solved.

I am sorry for a long break. I started afresh and created a new 'test' user once again. This time I copied to it just the .config directory of my user account, since I knew that was causing the problem. On checking 'test' it was confirmed that the test account too had developed the search problem. T...

It seems to be going right, now.Thanks a lot.
I tried with .config deleted first. And it worked!
What next now?

Thank you for your trouble.
I did exactly as instructed.
The original problem is still as it was.

I have followed your instructions, and give the information below: hari@hari-Aspire ~ $ find $HOME ! -user $USER -type f find: `/home/hari/.cache/dconf': Permission denied /home/hari/pdfbooklet/pdfBooklet-2.2.2/build/scripts-2.7/pdfbooklet /home/hari/pdfbooklet/pdfBooklet-2.2.2/build/lib.linux-x86_6...

Thanks. I created a new user. Logging in as the new user, I find that the problem is not there. To see if reinstalling nemo will help, I uninstalled nemo through software manager and installed it afresh. But The same problem persists even after that. Can you suggest what I should do? Thanks again fo...

I upgraded my Mint 17 cinnamon 64 bit to 17.3 cinnamon a few days ago. In its file browser/file manager, I am not able to search for any file or folder. As soon as I make any keystroke to type in the search bar, the file-browser closes and the desk top goes blank. All desktop icons disappear. I disc...

I too have been having trouble renaming files - I use Mint 17 LTRelease, Cinnamon, 64 bit. May be because I use ibus too. But thanks to helpful information in this forum, I installed pcmanfm and have found it to be much better in all respects. I have 2 questions: Is there any disadvantage if I switc...

The problem was apparently being caused by inappropriate driver for display hardware (Geforce 720M on my laptop). As shown by the driver manager, driver in use was the one shown as 'recommended' - it was nvidia-331(version 331.38-Oubuntu 7.1). Also shown in the list was nvidia-331(version 331.38-Oub...

On further chacking, I find that when I click the mouse over the panel, where the power icon is meant to be (but is not visible), the label 'power settings' shows up. On further clicking, I find that the Pwer Management screen opens up, but under the heading "Battery", it is all blank.
