I started using and recommending PDFShuffler when I switched to Linux, but I recently switched to PDFArranger. It is a fork of PDFShuffler. The reasons I switched is because PDFShuffler has not seen any has not seen any activity since 2012, and it was removed from Debian 10 "Buster" because it depen...

So, should I uninstall and start over? And if so, how? Did you read and follow the installation instructions? https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/getting_started/installing/linux.html To echo absque fenestris suggestion, consider using the AppImage. You can find the Blender AppImage at https:...

The biggest issue I have is that 2.10 has got some issue with Python, which means that some of the Filters I use regularly, such as Heal, are not available and cannot be added. This is a real problem for me and so far I can't come up with a solution. Try the "with filters" AppImage - it is bundled ...

The Pencil did not disappear; now it is part of the Tool Group as the Paintbrush, Airbrush, etc. I am not a fan of the Toolbox Groups, but it have not been a major obstacle for me because I use the keyboard shortcuts to change tools. I would have been very upset if they had changed the keyboard shor...

I recently installed Mint 20, which includes GIMP 2.10.18. When using this, I noticed that several of the GIMP filters I use are missing. I searched around and discovered that for some reason this current version of GIMP does not have the gimp-python package installed, which is necessary for these ...

We can provide better assistance remapping your keyboard when you provide the information magnus7 requested. Start by opening a terminal, entering inxi -Fxxxxrz , and pasting the output here. Be sure to enclose the output in Code Display: tags (that is the </> icon. If you prefer you can use the Sys...

Text Editor of Mint has grown so big that why should not it contain all the programming functions? There is a need for a small, lightweight text editor, and Xed was developed just for this purpose. It will no longer be a small, lightweight text editor if programming, or other advanced functions, we...

I have used Simple Screen Recorder, and it works as advertised.

I consider "copying commands from a website" to be a part of the learning process. I am hesitant to recommend Copy/Paste a command if the website neglects to explain what each part of the command actually does. Most commands have a "man page" (short for manual page) for documentation, and they are v...

I started using the LO 7.0.2 AppImage on Saturday. No issues so far, but I am keeping the 7.0.1 AppImage just in case. usually don't use appImages, but as I don't want to get rid of my current install, that just might be the way to try it out. That is one of the things I like about using AppImages ...

Like most of the respondents, I consider myself to be a Level 3* user. Clever enough to look for solutions and follow instructions, experience to know the difference between good advice and bad advice, and a pretty good grasp of what I do not know. There are times when I can pull off Level 20 Wizard...

I am pretty sure this is not the direction you want to take, but I would export the spreadsheet as a .csv, and search using either grep or by importing it into LibreOffice Base or another database program. I have never used it, but xlsx2csv will convert xlsx files to csv format and claims it can han...

On my part, I am a keyboard snob. I will admit it. My favorite keyboard was the IBM Model M keyboard with those magnificent "clicky" keys. The Model M was nice, but I really miss my first PC keyboard - an IBM Model F XT. Sturdier than the M, and the F-keys were on the left side (where they belong) ...

Is there a reason why the Linux Mint software repository is often months if not years behind some of the major software releases? Is it a case of volunteers etc figuring this stuff out and getting it debugged etc? Linux Mint is a LTS (Long-Term Support) distribution, and a primary focus is stabilit...

This is a known issue with the Inkscape 1.0.1 AppImage. If I understand correctly the culprit is the version of libgc that is bundled in the AppImage. About a month or so ago I read a post from one of the Inkscape developer who indicated the problem it will be corrected with the next version. A deli...

...only other listing here are the slave driver factories you know to avoid like the plague cause they treat workers like well slaves, where you will work 12-14 hours a day 6 and 7 days a week for about $10/Hr and yeah no overtime pay. Assuming "here" is Indiana, I'm raising the B.S. flag on this o...

this brings up a funny instance. A very good friend of mine related a similar story with one of her co-workers. Like you, they worked for a government (State) agency, and the director was a political appointee who believed government agencies should be run the same way as a business. As I understan...

If it's not possible, what's the next best thing? I found 'shutter' to be so simple and to the point.. I like/use/recommend Shutter, but I am concerned about the lack of development. Another package I have been looking at for a couple of years is Ksnip, and I have been so impressed with it that I a...

To echo what others have said: It is a bad idea, don't do it. It may be a stretch, but in the US you might open to prosecution for unauthorized access or exceeding authorization to a computer. Personally, I would not install software to a company computer without the knowledge/permission/blessing of...
