Hi hjalmarsson, You are welcome... I think most people who give Linux Mint a chance, will find it to be a wonderful computer operating system, and it is free, very secure, with free long-term support. I would highly recommend that you create a new post on the FileZilla forum or add to an existing on...

Hi Sally29bb9, Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux Mint and its excellent forum! I just read your post and some of the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well. It would help to know more about your system setup. If you run " inxi -Fxzd " and " lsusb " from the console terminal p...

Hi Liss I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well. FYI: There is a newer version of this DisplayLink driver (5.2 08 Jul 2019) than the one you linked which I am providing a link for you below. If the current DisplayLink driver is working for you, you do n...

Hi dsctr,

You are welcome...

Now that you have your own post, you can continue your questions here.

Simple scan works fine, but I think gscan2pdf is better.

Hi hjalmarsson, Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux Mint and its excellent forum! I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well. Make sure FileZilla settings have the maximum concurrent downloads setting of "10" instead of its default of "2". Best Linux F...

Hi gilly78,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux Mint and its excellent forum!

Hi dsctr, GriffelArt, etc... We have never heard back from the original poster "GriffelArt" and their scanner issues and whether that has been resolved? To Dale "dsctr", so now that you have your printer working, you still have not said if your scanner is now recognized and working? Next step to fig...

Hi Stoof2010, +1 for "pbear" tutorial, very nicely done. I especially like the hybrid version. Ok, so I saw a cool video about fully installing Linux on a flash drive for mobility (and easier than a live with persistence with my level of understanding). If that was my video tutorial on YouTube, then...

Hi fridgefreezer, I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well. I have a few MicroSD cards of various sizes, and I have never had them be destroyed by Linux Mint or Linux formatting utilities. Of course, there is a possibility that the microSD card is defect...

Hi dsctr, You are welcome...

You mentioned you had many printers showing in your printers menu, I would remove all of the...

HI Netherprovinc3, VPN's and their providers are made for security and anonymity, so they usually go through vigorous testing whether they are used directly through an operating system's openVPN software client through something like the Linux Network Manager or console terminal or through a VPN app...

Hi helpmelearn, Okay, so it is possible to use a USB flash stick to boot into Linux live, I will be using a 16gb flash drive for it. And afterward, do a full image backup onto another USB flash drive which will be a 32gb flash drive. I get what you are saying its the other way around, though for som...

Hi helpmelearn, IMHO, it is not a good idea to remove pre-installed applications like VLC, LibreOffice, Gimp, etc... from your Linux Mint systems as they are integrated into your system and other programs and applications are expecting them to be installed and available. Also, they do not take up mu...

Hi johsmic,

Hi helpmelearn, I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well. +1 for using a bootable version of Clonezilla Live on DVD/CD disc or a USB stick. I have been using this for years now and it has always worked well for me including restoring. I use the Ubuntu ve...
