Linux Mint Forums

Thanks for both helpful replies.
I will now see what is the best way for me.

Linux Mint 17.3 KDE, 64 bit

I am using happily KeePassX 2.0.2 and would like to synch my passwords with an password application on my android 7.1.1 phone via our own NextCloud.

How can this be enabled?

What android app is needed?

Thanks in advance for your help!

LM 17.3 KDE When I open the file browser (Dolphin) and hover the cursor over a jpg-file, a window pops up to show the meta data of this file. The "Photo Originally Created Day and Time" information is of the format ddd hh.mm This format gives only the day of week and the time. I would rather have th...

@ Mute Ant
Thanks for your answer.
I already felt that I need a new installation. As I am just at the beginning with my installation, of this machine, doing it all over again is not a big issue.

found = foung this is simply a typo. I write my post on a different machine.

As this is kind of experience and wish thread I will share experience I made in the meantime. Having once installed KDE on top of 19.3 Cinnamon, I got Japanese writing up an running in 5 Minutes but then my installation blocked and I could not repair it due to a lack of knowledge on commands I neede...

LM 19.3 MATE On this machine I installed 2 LM versions on USB sticks and it seems I made a mistake somewhere. When I start the LM19.3 MATE machine installed on the normal HD of my PC I get the following error message: erro: disk 'lvmid/yXrqaI-XutD-NLlb-4vw-o02j-hYDo-vAkmfM.FFlsf2-Cb13-YwFu-vz24-RrmI...

@brian_p

THANKS! for all your explanation! Very helpful!

Now I hope that I can get Ibus-Anthy running in LM 18.3 KDE.

The only thing I don't understand why setting up Ibus-Anthy in LM 17.3 KDE was so incredible easy.

LM 18.3 KDE fortunately there is this sentence "All Gurus once were Newbies ".... In my attempt to get Japanese writing running in LM18.3 KDE using IBUS-Anthy I found an helpful looking article in ArchLinux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBus Following this article I need to find ~/.bashrc ~/...

@trytip Thanks for getting back. I appreciate the help I get here in the LM forum very much. However I am also aware that all the answers are given by volunteers. Thus don't worry. I myself worked for a few year in the LibreOffice support forum. Here in LM I cannot do support.... Solved - done. Even...

@Neil Edmond

Sorry I wasn't much help.

Don't worry you did what works at your machine. I appreciated this.

Typing only was my first attempt as well.

As it did not work, I posted my question here.

Which LM version are you using?

Thanks for your replies. Disk is "nuked" Typing only "nwipe" even used with sudo does not work. Key was nwipe -h This list all parameters which are possible. I used: sudo nwipe --method=gutmann [device] The Disk tool can also be used, I used this first with writing zeros but wanted to understand the...

LM 19.1 Cinnamon

I installed from the SW Manager "nwipe" and understand that this is terminal application.

How do I start this program in the terminal?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I gave up on restarting the machine and reinstalled it. The installation was at the very beginning and I moved the few data into an external storage.

For me this entire post can be deleted to avoid garbage in the system.

@pbaear
Thanks for your reply.

Now, I hope to get good commands to identify all the language related files.

@gm10Thanks for the purge command hint

@pbear and @gm10 - There is quite a difference in the figure you mentioned. Could you please give me a hint how I can find this out? I am looking for a suitable command but haven't find one yet.

LM 19.1 XCFE installation on a USB stick. I am installing this machine on a USB stick for a friend as a Back-Up machine. During the installation I observed that for all kind of languages help file were installed. To save disk space I would like uninstall all what is not needed. I only need to keep E...

@trytip Thanks for trying to help me. The PC is only installed. I only ran a datarecovery program on an at least half empty SD card. 3 recovery files are in Documents. The HHD of my PC has 500GB. For Root I used about 38 GB and Home is the rest. I initiated TimeShift during installation. As far as I...

@smurphos Thanks for your contribution in this thread. I placed the request you mentioned and commented on the other link concerning such a development. Let's keep fingers crossed that more people comment on the development requests. I will try to implement it via viewtopic.php?p=1557123#p1557123 ; ...

I'm running XFCE and wrongly assumed these were common settings.

This is almost unbelievable. More can be done with Cinnamon in XFCE then in Cinnamon!

This is a bit disappointing.


How can the devs be triggered to add this functionality to Cinnamon?

Where to place a request?
