Linux Mint Forums

Thank you, I was suspecting that. It seems that upgrading from 18.3 is not all that easy though.

Hello, I'm (still) using mint 18.3 (Sylvia), and I recently noticed that my Firefox is not updating anymore: it's currently stuck at version 88.0 If I try a "$ sudo apt install firefox" I get a message saying that it is already at its most recent version: "88.0+linuxmint1+sylvia"...

Hi all, I have gnome-online-accounts installed and, until some time ago, I was able to access my google drive with Nemo (using mint 18.3 with cinnamon) Then I had to change my G password, and tried to update credentials in mint somehow to continue allow Nemo to access. So I went to the "online ...

Ok, sorry for the delay, again, but at least after some tried I have some more good news. I collected the log you requested, I'll put them below, but the most interesting thing is that I installed a new kernel and now it somehow works! I tried 4.15.0-70, which I have installed at the moment, and I h...

Hi, sorry for the delay, I was unable to try things in the past days. Now I tried all of your suggestions but, unfortunately, still no HDMI output at all, no external display detection at all. Should I restore the deleted xml? I kept a copy elsewhere. In addition, I tried the USB livecd image trick ...

Well I have partial good news! I remembered to have read that some user complained that his (similar card) hdmi worked on a livecd, but it didn't anymore once mint was installed on disk. So, I downloaded a fresh iso of Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2, from the website, and copied to a usb disk: rebooted an...

I never tried to directly connect to an hdmi display though, without any adapter. Could be that an issue?
A soon as I get access to a hdmi display, I'll try that too.

...hmm sorry but I have not that file "11-nvidia-prime.conf" there: $ ls -ah /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ . 10-amdgpu.conf 10-quirks.conf 11-evdev-trackpoint.conf 50-synaptics.conf 50-wacom.conf 90-libinput.conf .. 10-evdev.conf 11-evdev-quirks.conf 50-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf 50-vmmouse...

Thanks, no, the external display (at my home, an old samsung lcd tv) is not shown in the Display utility. Never seen it there, "identify" button does nothing. Also tried after lowering my notebook display resolution (natively 4k) to something more compatible... no result. The samsung tv ha...

Thank you very much for digging into my issue :) I would really like to be able to sort this out by myself, or at least understand what's happening, but I'm not that skilled into hardware issues... I've read so many thinks and tried hints that didn't work, unfortunately. Here is what you requested: ...

Hello, I never had my laptop nvidia hdmi port work with my tv (works if booting on windows 10). on windows 10 I was able to change hdmi resolution to 1920x1080 through the intel config panel, btw. on linux, I never had the hdmi working at all. I've read so many posts and tried a bunch of things foun...

Hi, I have a Canon Pixma MG6150 wireless MFP, since many years. To use it, since Mint 13, I installed canon linux drivers and used the pixma without issues, both for wireless printing and scanning docs. Since a few months I upgraded my pc and Mint install (currently 18.3), and it still worked perfec...

Yes for now I resorted to switching different users, but that has downsides. All users settings are independent, not just screen resolution. I once used on Windows an utility named Dexpot (no typo here : https://www.dexpot.de), which IIRC worked quite well in this respect... I don't really understan...

Hi, I'm using cinnamon on 18.3, on a laptop with nvidia gtx1050 card. display is hidpi, ~4k, and even if I already found how to adapt most settings for the high resolution, to avoid microscopic texts/icons, sometimes I really wish to run some tool on a different resolution. Ideally it would be great...

Hi, not new to Mint, but new to Hidpi laptop monitor, and sometimes struggling with various programs to adapt, found solutions and workarounds in most cases, but this time is different, maybe... I often need to capture screenshots or gif recordings of my desktop (to help others on https://blender.st...

The mount point is created at the moment of mount by gvfs under: /run/user/1000/gvfs/ The "1000" would be your user id number so it may be different. And it would look something like: smb-share:server=192.168.1.2,share=shared if it were an smb share. Thank you very much, I found that fold...

Hi, I usually mount some remote windows shared folders using regular mount command, and I know a bit about that. But now I tried Nemo's feature (file > connect to server...) allowing to access a (windows/ftp/webdav/ssh) remote share, and that added a "special" icon on the desktop, named li...

Would it be possible to get this kind of updates with "containerized" applications like flatpaks or others similar/alternative ones? I answer myself: I fear that no, it is not possible, at least with flatpak: "With Flatpak, each application is built and run in an isolated environment...

All the PPAs I could find for xenial only had v1.0.1, so basically you have two choices. Wait for Mint 19.1 to get v6.0-2 or wait for Mint 19.1 to get v6.0-2. Hi, thanks for checking and feedback. I mean, sharing folders with windows guests has alternatives (samba) but it's about all the new featur...

Hi, my mint 18.3 has virt-viewer 1.0-1 (Ubuntu origin), but it's quite old, and could be missing some features, I think, like: folder sharing with windows hosts. see: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2017-April/037244.html The newest virt-viewer version is 6 !
