Well as it turns out for whatever reasons there are missing pkexec policy files....but why really, mintsources and nemo are integral and should ship with these. So I had to make them 1. go to /mnt/645/nadal/root/usr/share/polkit-1/actions 2. copy com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic.policy to nemo.policy and ...

likely you've run into the new jammy "feature" (ha) which is keys are now stored differently and ubuntu didn't bother to update apt-key or apt-add-repository. try moving the key. use the showkeys or filterkeys alias to find the key id To move then use movekey function to move it to the &qu...

and per that post the polkit doesn have allow_gui set to I don't understand why the display and Xauth are not passed. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freed...

no that doesn't work But pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY nemo works. see this good explanation https://askubuntu.com/a/332847 So the question is WHY is this so in mint21/jammy? in mint20/focal it just worked out of the box. Something didn't get set up the same as regards polkit an...

I have a newish install of mint 21 cinnamon Seems there is some issue with polkit/pkexec If I try to launch nemo with the context menu "open as root" nothing opens if I drop to terminal and try pkexec nemo Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display: if I try sudo nemo . then it works A...

I have i3 11th gen chip on acer laptop and the issue is the sof audio module which has a dsp built into the chip that have controllable output amplifiers. So I'm sharing the super simple solution I eventually stumbled on cause I spent several hours trying other stuff . Lauch `alsamixer` at the termi...

Since this is the thread that comes up when trying to resolve mediatek issues I thought I would post my experience/solution I have a brand new Acer laptop (i3 11thgen) For those finding this thread almost a year later 5.4.0-91 does not resolve mediatek module driver issues I even built and installed...

I'm moving beyond the 2 version of nextcloud client and there is no longer a recent build repository so no way to add 3+ the way I have been. So I'm using a script which grabs from the github releases the app image and installs that. https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/releases/tag/v3.3.3 My issue ...

necroing this post only to say the same issues exists what....3 years later with whatever version of nm is in 19.3. Obviously that package hasn't changed much. ....

Tired to compile from source in 18.04, no luck missing too many pieces.

But the .deb file above works in 18.04/19.1!! Locations slightly different

Already fixed an issue of not handling spaces in filenames or directory path.

Updated archive at download link above and github repo will alway hold the latest
https://github.com/dkebler/paste-link-here

latest release as zip or tar.gz here
https://github.com/dkebler/paste-link-here/releases

most definitely. Maybe I'll just make a github repo and you can embed, fork or reference that.

I probably end up making a few improvements and some error checking like checking to make sure the clipboard is holding a valid file/directory to link and the paste target is also a valid directory.

Here is code of two bash scripts called by the two nemo actions see github repo https://github.com/dkebler/paste-link-here copies the currently selected file or directory path to the clipboard #!/bin/bash LINK_DIR=$(dirname $1) #echo The Link Path- $1 - was sent to clipboard > $LINK_DIR/link.log ech...

Came up with a couple nemo actions and bash scripts that adds 'Link to Clipboard' and 'Paste Link Here' now it's simple to make links from one directory to another quickly (no having to move them and remove 'Link to')

TLDR; requirements: must install xclip and xdotool, sudo apt install xclip xdotool 1. Download and extract latest release https://github.com/dkebler/paste-link-here/releases into ~/.local/share/nemo/actions . 2. Make sure the two bash scripts (.sh) have executable permissions. 3. In Nemo select a f...

Never saw the "attached" patch file so just did this instead followed that link to github repo and then loaded the entire raw cinnamon-desktop-editor.py into browser copy and pasted that into a file onto my desktop cinnamon-desktop-editor-fix.py now made an insurance copy of the original a...

not to be rude but couldn't have been an announcement made about something as big as this being broken? so in the meantime how are we suppose to create launchers / shortcuts? see my note above. right click on any launcher in panel and click +add. You'll at least get a new launcher in the panel whic...

Note: If I right click on any panel lanuncher and click + add, the launcher dialog does open. I have no way of knowing what that command looks like.

I have a new install of 19.0 then updated to 19.1 The desktop context menu (nemo) has a `create new launcher here` action. Clicking that fails to bring up the launcher dialog So I opened the action file in /usr/share/nemo/actions and determined the executable line. Exec=cinnamon-desktop-editor -mnem...

This is repost of my comment (and another poster's answer @gm10) in another thread that was on a different question but related. I post here so those having the gksu problem will find this solution easier. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=283225&p=1563717&hilit=gksu#p156...
