I am going to buy a new laptop, one contender is ASUS ZenBook UX425JA 14" Laptop - Intel® Core™ i5, 512 GB SSD. One of the features of this is 32 Gb Intel Optane. I won't be using Windows, I intend to remove that and just install Mint. Will it work properly with the Optane memory? I have found ...

I posted to sane-developers and the reply fixed it
Your version of sane is obsolete! Update it!
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sane-project/sane-git
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt install libsane libsane-common sane-utils

Yes I thought that was what you asked for. Here is the output when I boot up normally mick@Mint20Desk:~$ inxi -Fxxxz System: Kernel: 5.4.0-48-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.3.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.6.7 wm: muffin 4.6.3 dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 20 Ulyana base: Ubuntu 20.04 foc...

I upgraded to Mint 20 a little while back, clean install. This is the first time I have tried to use my scanner. I installed XSane, it finds my scanner, Brother DCP-J7720W which is wireless connected. It appears to scan but the viewer screen does not show anything and if I save the file I get Error ...

I am about to rebuild my system on Mint20 Cinnamon, with a 480Gb SSD and a 4Tb hard drive. Previously I have installed on the SSD and then set /home to be on the hard disk. This worked fairly well, but I did have a problem (unresolved) which looked like my user setup, which had carried over from pre...

I started with the Eric Install page https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/eric-download.html I just tried it again and it worked perfectly. Last time it was complaining that it could not find some stuff, can't remember the details I really don't know what went wrong last time, but I now have Eric 20...

It looks like that will install 20.2, which is the version available in Mint20 anyway. I need to get to a newer version.
Thanks anyway.

Running Mint 20 Cinnamon and I use Eric IDE to develop Python3 code. I just discovered a problem with Eric and research shows that it is fixed in version 20.5 of Eric. The version that comes with Mint 20 is 20.2 Looking on the Eric website https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/eric-download.html it l...

From some help I had here https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/issues/337 I have resolved the problem. It seems that Unison is compiled differently on Mint20 and Ubuntu server, and they are compiled with different versions of OCaml, even though they both result in the same Unison version. I fixed it...

Trying to run unison to sync between my desktop, Mint 20 and server Ubuntu Server 19.10. Both have unison version 2.48.4 I have worked through the tutorial and it fails at the Remote Shell Method with the message Fatal error: Server: Fatal error during unmarshaling (input_value: ill-formed message),...

Over the last week or so I have noticed that some things have slowed down a lot. Booting seems to take twice as long as it used to and deleting a file is considerable slower. It takes about 4 seconds from hitting the delete key for the file to disappear. Just tried this with an empty file and with a...

Running 19.1 Cinnamon When opening a file, if I select 'Open with', under Other Applications some applications are listed multiple times, e.g. Banshee is listed 3 times, Krita 12 times, Okular 13 times. Some others are just listed once as I would expect. Why is that? Is it using additional resources...

When I process pictures from my camera, using DarkTable, the results generally look OK on screen, but when I print them the print is significantly darker than the screen image. From the research I have done I suspect that I need to set the colour profile for the printer. When I print, in the printer...

Did anyone make any progress on this? My screensaver started to work again as normal, worked for a couple of weeks then the problem came back, screensaver just doesn't kick in.

Mine has started working again, no idea why, I haven't changed anything as far as I know.

No. My screen doesn't lock up at all, nothing happens, as I said it is set to 10 minutes but I can leave it for hours and the screen is still on and I can just carry on working.
Any ideas?

Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon My Screensaver is set to 10 minutes and has been that way since I started running Mint many years ago. Recently is has stopped working, i.e. the screen just stays on for ever. I did try changing the time to 15 minutes and that worked until I rebooted, then it didn't work aga...

Yes that fixed it. Thank you
