Re: Reinstall Mint from Within Current Installation
If restoring with Time Shift can I opt to remove the full disk encryption?

Reinstall Mint from Within Current Installation
Is it possible to have a fresh install of Mint from within my current Mint 19 installation.
I don't want to have to install it from USB or might blow my brains out, so am hoping there's a way to do it from within the current installation.
Surface Pro 2, 128gb, i5 intel, 4gb ram, Linux Mint 19 64-bit

Install Mint on Surface Pro 2?
If I install Mint XFCE on my Surface Pro 2 will pen and touch work immediately, or will I need to do some tinkering? Also will Mint be able to handle battery life roughly as well as Windows does? As you can see by the stats in my signature I used to use Mint on my Thinkpad, but when I got the Surfac...

Webp and BPG (Better Portable Graphics) Support
I'd love to see Webp and BPG (Better Portable Graphics) supported. A patch was created for tumbler: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12528 I've tested this webp patch on Linux Mint 17.3 xfce, the latest Manjaro xfce, Xubuntu 16.04 xfce and it works like a charm. And there's a patch for BPG,...

Thanks! I used the cd-text option in kb3 and installed the extra codecs.

Burning Audio CD with Track Titles
I need to burn an audio cd that will include the song titles, so that when the cd is playing in cd players the proper name of the track will appear. I have Brasero, K3B, and XFBurn, but I'm not able to get any of them to do this.

Re: Automatically Delete Thumbnail Cache
What command would I use to just delete the contents of the .thumbnails folder, so that I don't have to restart the computer to create a new .thumbnails folder? There are two folders inside the .thumbnails folder named "large" and "normal". Could I just delete those folders, and ...

Re: Automatically Delete Thumbnail Cache
Another question. I notice that when the thumbnail cache is deleted (including the .thumbnails folder) I can still see thumbnails before I restart the computer. Shouldn't this be impossible? If there's no .thumbnails folder how am I able to see thumbnails? Edit: Maybe I can see them because they're ...

Re: Automatically Delete Thumbnail Cache
Okay thanks! I just added the command to crontab -e with nano editor. Another question: I just used a cron generator to change the command so that the command is run every even hour , every day, every week, and every month. The generator gave me this command: 0 */2 * * * /home/myhomefolder/rmthumbs....

Re: Automatically Delete Thumbnail Cache
Thanks! Do I place the code at the bottom of the crontab file, like so: # /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab # Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab' # command to install the new version when you edit this file # and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields, #...

Re: Automatically Delete Thumbnail Cache
Thanks for the reply!
How would I modify that so that it deletes that cache once a week?
And does any code need to be placed inside the rmthumbs.sh bash script?

Automatically Delete Thumbnail Cache
Linux Mint stores a thumbnail of every image I've ever looked at in the .thumbnails folder in my home folder. Every month or so I have to manually delete the thumbnails. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this automatically. I read that on Ubuntu the thumbnail cache is deleted automatically after ...

Re: What are you most dissatisfied with in Linux Mint?
I'm pretty happy with Linux Mint. I have two problems, but I think they are Linux problems, and not necessarily unique to Mint. I've come across two bugs (if that's what they are) that I haven't been able to resolve. I don't think they're unique to Mint though. One involves jbd2 process hogging 99% ...

Re: Moving Versus Copying Files
I learned of another solution for moving files versus copying them: use the right-click mouse button to drag-and-drop instead of the left-click button. The files will be moved automatically. A little popup window will appear asking you to confirm if you want to move the file.

Re: Moving Versus Copying Files
Actually that does work, altair4. You right click the thing you want to move. While keeping the right click button pressed, you drag the clicked item over the folder. Then press down the shift key and let go of the right click button and the shift key at roughly the same time. And voila! It's better...
