Re: mintsources fails to open: Not authorized

This is in the category "Cinnamon", but I would like to point out, that this issue is also present in MATE version. And not only in mintsources, but mintupdate and others too.

P.S. Lanchon hack works.
I agree, this should be the default settings.

Firefox window not rendering / refreshing properly

Recently after updating to the latest version of Linux Mint MATE 20.2 and latest Firefox from the repos, I started to experience weird behavior of Firefox. When I start Firefox the window looks completely non-responsive. I do not even see the Linux Mint home page. However if I minimize the window an...

Caution: Kernel 4.15.0-60 freezes the machine at random

Hi, I am using LM 18.3 x64 Mate. I upgraded the kernel to version 4.15.0-60 and since then I experience random freezes every 2-24h. No errors at all in logs.

Re: mintupdate software sources doesnt work after update 18.2 -> 18.3

Yes it is :D. I reduced the problem to a single command: ~ $ software-sources (Notice no sudo here). On the machine with LM 18.3 installed from scratch, this command creates a popup window asking for credentials. However on the machine LM 18.3, which was upgraded from 18.2, I get this: ~ $ software-...

Re: Telling the system to boot latest kernel after update

Wow! I cannot explain how could I be so silly and not notice that these are in fact different kernel series. I thought they all were 4.4 series. So the system is indeed using the latest one I installed and it switched grub correctly. Also thank you for the info on how to change grub default menu ent...

Telling the system to boot latest kernel after update

Hi! I recently decided to upgrade LM 18 -> LM 18.2 (MATE 64-bit). In addition to that I also upgraded all packages suggested by the update manager, including the kernel. However after reboot the system still boots the old kernel. How do I configure it to boot the latest one. I only have ssh or x2go ...

How to launch Emerald at logon?

When I type the question in the subject in google, I get tons of results, but none of them seem to work on my LMDE. The latest update pack installed the latest MATE, which broke my Compiz setup. Now Compiz works, but there are no window borders, so I installed Emerald. The problem I now have is laun...

Disclaimer: Please do not take my comment personally. I do not disagree with you in particular, but rather with a general idea that is quite popular in the community.

Re: Why do new people give up on Linux?

Upgrading IS necessary - older releases though supported do not have the latest apps in their repos. Windows XP is 11 years old and it is not supported anymore - that still does not prevent me from installing the latest VLC 2.0.4. On the other hand I cannot easily install the latest VLC on the still...

Re: Why do new people give up on Linux?

It is exactly like this. This is the very reason, why I never got involved with Linux development (I mean the system itself or one of open source applications that run on it). The dependency hell puts me off every time I download the source code of a project and prevents me from getting involved wit...
