Linux Mint Forums

Hi Hello steocullen91, Welcome and hope you enjoy LM. I've been using it exclusively since V13 (non games user) and have never felt the need to wander away. Yep the occasional hiccup, but have always found ways round things either from tips/info from the forum or Googling in general. As an aside it ...

Ah, would you adam and eve it, the old dog and bone is brown bread. Tell the dustpan lids to take a butchers and they still wouldn't have a didgeridoo. Talking of loafs, me barnet has seen better days and the old mince pies are a bit pony too! Anyway, feeling a bit hank, cuppa rosie and maybe a ruby...

Your missing out of all this great stuff. LOL When you copy text from some other website and repost it elsewhere without crediting the source, it's called plagiarism. PS: It's you're. It'd probably be too embarrassing to credit the source. I've found the same rant posted on other sites as far back ...

To me such rant threads amount to this: It is much easier shouting "Wow, you guys messed up with Mint 19", than admitting "Wow, I messed up my Mint 19 installation". I want to know how Mint was able to corrupt USBs - that's a pretty good trick! It is a pointless thread isn't it, the OP doesn't give...

Prime was a copy of the Honeywell computer originally iirc. Another nugget was an Italian CNC control, Fidia, it was a copy of a PDP-11 it came preconfigured with the options you had ordered, but all the options were in there just disabled with parameters... we figured it out and could order the ch...

Hi Rev, that was an enjoyable read and you have a great memory for all the technical details. A good old trip down memory lane and it got me thinking back on my own route into tech. Leaving school and looking for a job back in the late 70s, a friend of my fathers was a mate of an IT manager for a br...

I may be misinterpreting your requirement here, but I believe with a standard Youtube account you can upload a 15 minute / 20gb file. If you want longer/larger you can verify your account allowing up to 120gb upload. I think Youtube probably then does it's own compression to the file so viewing does...

I just read Clem's latest blog post, and it all sounds really awesome. I can't wait to experience the improvements 4.0 will bring, and I hope the .1 release gives more 18.x users faith, confidence, and incentive to upgrade. It has with me. Over the last number of years I've normally upgraded as soo...

if i'm understanding Clem's latest blog article correctly, looks like it surfaces in 19.1? Adding some weight to this. While the blog does not mention 19.1, that's what those changes are scheduled for. Hi GM10, thanks for confirming that. I noticed that Clem's reply to one of the comments stated th...

Hi Felemur,

What you're seeing is indicative of a slow load, or slow browser processing, of the forum CSS (stylesheet) files. These are the elements that define the site layout, colours etc. Browsers tend to cache the CSS files so that they are not downloaded each time you visit a site, but that also depends on...

Thanks for the heads-up Catweazel. Just reading about it now and the new Monterail TB theme looks interesting as well - https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/04/a-m ... theme-font

I'm not sure what the purpose of your post is, other than to pop in and just tell people on a LM forun that you're now using Ubuntu. It would probably have been more constructive to ask for a bit of guidance before giving up. Maybe you're right - no hope. Anyway, just so you don't keep going round i...

hi Confusious, Just to let you know I have an Epson XP-640 running fine with Cinnamon / LM 18.3. I bought it before the official Epson driver was released and I used one of the generic Epson drivers initially. At that point I could print, but not scan. When the official XP-640 driver became availabl...

The following was posted by Clem in the comments of the January Monthly News blog post... Yes, Ubuntu is the best base to build Linux Mint 19. Yes, it will be used. No, we won’t have stats or data going from your computer towards upstream in Linux Mint 19. We’re not quite sure yet how this will be i...

Have been totally LM for about five years. One hiccup during that period was when I bought a Laptop with W7 on it. That lasted approx 3 weeks before the withdrawal symptoms got too much and I installed 17. Apart from the normal browsing, photos and music stuff I also have xampp and NetBeans installe...

Hopefully someone will be along with a more forensic approach, but just to mention that since upgrading to 18.3 (four weeks ago) I haven't had any probs at all. Prior to that I'd started getting random Cinnamon crashes roughly every day or two. I never got to diagnose it and so will probably always ...

Tx for that, how did I not see it! Just added and very handy. Staying on the desktop now

Unless you're dyslexic I'd say you're a bit of a forum spring chicken!

And welcome, from another 59er

Like the look of that. Is it actually called 'Scale'? Had a look for it but couldn't find.
