I think, I just send my message from my laptop (with MX Linux installed), then after my backup process is done, I'll copy that message to a local folder of Thunderbird. Then I'll copy that folder over my nome network to the desktop computer (where I'm just having the present issue) and finally copy ...

Your issue is that, unfortunately, Windows cannot recognise partitions formatted to EXT4. That's why I installed Virtualbox with a Mint installation. I was hoping that by that way, Mint would be able to see the really existing ext4 partitions on the physical disk. But that hope didn't get confirmed...

On my multi boot system with two Linux (MX Linux 19.4 xfce and Bodhi 6.0) and a Win10 Pro, I'm currently backing up the entire content of my NAS, which seems to be only working flawlessly on Win10. The problem is, that backup is running several days to get it on some USB drive and I don't want to re...

Btw.: I just tried youtube-dlc. Same issue there, ... and very slow download, just like with the original youtube-dl. Back to yt-dlp: Can anybody tell me how to use this --compat-options comand, please? I mean, what are the compat-options, or what options are available, there? I think, what I really...

Sorry, I don't know what particular command I need to remove the unwanted brackets with the string inside (and the empty space right in front of the brackets). Could anybody perhaps give me some more information about that, please? I've read the documentation of yt-dlp, and it looks like it is the &...

I have a script for youtube-dl with the following lines: echo " Download with youtube-dl " echo "**************************" echo echo read -p "Please enter URL of wanted file: `echo $'\n> '`" a echo sleep 1 youtube-dl "${a}" echo sleep 2 read -n 1 -s -r -p &q...

Since I'm on a dual monitor system (both monitors are set to 1920x1080 and the right one is the main one), I'm trying to solve the issue of apps and windows being launched on the wrong monitor. So, I tried the devilspie2 tool and created for example this script called devilspie2.lua in the /.config/...

On my LM 20.1 Cin. 64bit, I'm using a BT mouse (*), type "Microsoft Designer Mouse". After booting, that mouse is always freezing about 1 min after booting Mint and so it doesn't move for about 8 sec.. Then everything is ok again and stays that way. Is there anything I can do about this, p...

I'm dealing with two issues here at once, because it is a two monitor system. 1. I want to get rid of this dialog (it's just a waste of time and if the target folder is selected once, that dialog is totally useless). And what kind of screenshot (which monitor, entire screen, active window,...), this...

I just found out, I can press Ctrl+Alt+Print on the active window to make a screenshot of it.
Now, I want to get rid of the dialog, so I'm looking for a way to automatically click the "Save" button of that dialog.

Any ideas?

On my LM 20.1 Cin. 64bit there's gnome-screenshot installed, which usually is in interactive mode, which I think is very annoying. if I want to make several screenshots in a short time. Now, I'm looking for a way to make screenshots without any dialog at all, I mean, I want to press the PRINT key (o...

I installed HydraPaper (as a Flatpak) on my LM 20.1 Cin. 64bit to be able to select two different wallpapers for my dual monitor system, but how can I make the main window of this tool start on the main screen, which is on the right side, please? So far, it is always starting on the left monitor, i....

but I can't see how that would be a real problem? It's just that I don't like it that way and therefore, I'm looking for a way to tell Mint, that the left monitor is in fact on the left side, even when I'm not logged in, yet. EDIT: I think, I found a... well, at least, a workaround. I created a fol...

I already did this, but it affects only the behaviour of the two monitors after the login.
I was referring only to the log in screen itself, because only there the two monitors are working the wrong way around.

As the subject says, I'm currently moving to a LM 20.1 Cinnamon 64bit, because it is said to have a better dual monitor support, but the first problem is with the login screen. I've set it up to have my main monitor on the right and the 2nd one on the left. The main monitor is called DP-0 and the 2n...

I'm running LM 19.3 MATE 64bit on a dual monitor system and I'd like to enable Compiz only the main monitor. According to my display settings, my monitors are called DP-0, which is the right one and HDMI-0, which is the left one. Both of these monitors are connected to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 grap...

Thanks to this thread I was able to fix this, too.
But maybe it should be added that a reboot is required for this fix to take effect.

On a single screen system Compiz looks great, but what about a dual screen system, where the main screen is not mirrored? If I try to turn the Compiz cube it looks strange, because both screens are combined on each side of the cube. It looks even stranger if both screen are running with different re...

I already know where to enable efi mode in Virtualbox. Actually, I wasn't asking for the location of that option, but for a guide on how to set up a dual boot system inside of Virtualbox. As for the information of the Garuda page... in fact, Garuda does run quite well in a Virtualbox (I personally t...

For some testing purposes, I'd like to install a dual boot system with two Linuxes in Virtualbox, but with UEFI enabled inside of that Virtualbox. Can anybody tell me how to do this, please? Rem.: What I'm actually trying to do is, I want to find out if there is a way to dual boot an Ubuntu based di...
