Time Cube! I knew the PDF looked familiar. The only thing that came to mind was The Church of the SubGenius, but it really looks a lot like Gene Ray's ramblings. It also resembles UseNet kook Archimedes Plutonium. I am pretty sure it isn't Ray or Archimedes, but it has the markings of their special...

@waive15 - No need to apologize. You did not force me to search for the source and try to make sense out of whatever that was. I have wasted a lot more time on ventures that make a lot less sense. You should not try to understand this "simple sentence" because it is complete nonsense, and it will no...

When in doubt, go to the source. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwKGUQT72I8a7-zHVbeJYtg?feature=emb_subscribe_title This link takes you to an 8-second video of nothing much. It offers a link to the same video, as well as a link to a 17-page PDF that, the best I can figure, counts as the supporting...

You have to install smartctl (package smartmontools) to do the -Da test, note the error message there. I did not look at the output closely and missed the error. Installed smartmontools, and got.... $ pinxi -Dazy90 --dbg 12 Drive:/dev/nvme0: $VAR1 = [ 'Smartctl open device: /dev/nvme0 failed: Permi...

Can someone tell me what the following "sensors" in the terminal is showing me? What are the ISA adapter, acpitz-virtual-0, package id 0, adapter ISA adapter, adapter virtual device? acpitz is an acronym for ACPI Thermal Zone, and acpitzis-virtual-0 is the temperature sensor near/on your CPU socket...

Not sure if this is the correct place to report it but my much anticipated Kdenlive update (4:19.12.1+qt59-2) bionic, failed to update today. An error in the package? Dependency issues. Tom I am guessing you are using the PPA, and I suspect the issue is with Qt5.9. The release page says the "port w...

My issue is I want to install non-OS software on my 1TB SATA drive (things like Steam, Games, Gimp, etc.). I don't see a way to choose my SATA drive in the Software Manager, what am I missing? I would advise against trying to change the installation path for programs. Software packages and parts of...

I know this is marked Solved, but I find viewing man pages from the Yelp utility is much easier than from a terminal. I think Yelp is a hidden gem that is almost fatally marred by a severe lack of documentation ... and sometimes it will turn zombie. You launch Yelp from a terminal, and the command s...

Upgrading from 19.2 to 19.3 keeps Gimp but a fresh installation creates a bodged system. I have now to download from Gimp.org and get the latest 4.10 which is far better and with greater features. Let me start by saying I disagree with the decision to remove GIMP and all of the reasons used to just...

If anyone has found and applied and there's any -truly working- solutions out there can you please post and share? TIA... :D I have given up trying to connect an iThing to a Linux box - it was my experience that everything that worked stopped working with the next iOS update. The only "truly workin...

Let me start with suggesting you avoid this PPA - I am not aware of it causing any problems, but I think it is more prudent to wait for Pascal de Bruijn to update the "official" PPA. Also, unless I am mistaken this PPA will not update a LM 18.x system past dt 2.4.4. The "official" PPA is also stuck ...

The Etcher AppImage works well for me. It should be working for you, too. Based on the information you provided, you are trying to run a 64-bit AppImage on a 64-bit OS, the ownership is correct, the AppImage is executable, and the file specs are correct. (I am almost positive the Etcher AppImage com...

It's not the pop-up I used to have but it does the job.

Is this it? System Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard > Keyboard Indicators

There is a Cinnamon applet for that.

I'd like to bring this up again. Surely I can't be the only user who: a) Needs the camera support of version 2.6.3 b) is unable to compile this version from source So what are others doing ? You have three options if you need something immediately - the flatpak, the Snap, or the new, unofficial PPA...

I cannot explain the dependency issue - the .DEB installed without a hitch for me. I previously installed the older version via Synaptic and then "upgraded" with the .DEB, so that dependency might have already been satisfied. I cannot notice much difference in the older version and the current versi...

... but in the meantime can anybody recommend a program that can put a series of photos together with a selection of Transitions and Audio background. The audio would be mp3 format in most instances. The output in mp4 format would be ideal. You might find PhotoFileStrip suitable. It is somewhat lim...

This is a follow up to the GIMP question. Trying different ways to appease my loved one (newly married, 57 years). How do you flow text around an image in LibreOffice? Method 1: Right-click the image, and from the fly-out menu select Wrap. Then select the Wrap you want. Method 2: Right-click the im...
