Check your preferences in update manager. Specifically have you got any levels of updates unchecked for display. Update Manager classifies different packages by the potentially negative impact a buggy update could have on the system with 1 being the lowest impact and the highest. Emphasis on the wor...

Major upgrade (e.g 18.3 to 19) or point upgrade (e.g. 19 to 19.1). I think, including time for setting up backup and restoring what has been backed up after a fresh install and the potential troubleshooting time after an upgrade that in the former case a fresh install is faster. In the latter case a...

I have limited the thumbnails cache by dconf editor [org - gnome - desktop - thumbnail-cache] however the limits I've set are not applied by the system. After setting

Are you still on Cinnamon?

If so i think that's the wrong schema - you want org.cinnamon.desktop.thumbnail-cache

Thank you for the help, it is much appreciated. I may end up using one of those if I can get it in black or dark grey, whatever the oem mint color is for the menu panel these days. I really like all the dark colors, I find it much easier on the eyes. The colours in the screenshots are just a light ...

That's a nemo extension, right? I don't have that one but I would expect it to store the info as an extended file attribute. Try this: gio info /path/to/folder Good call, learnt something new :) $ gio info ~/plex_server_drive | grep metadata::custom-icon metadata::custom-icon: file:///usr/share/ico...

Looks nice, but appears to only support file name search. I need search by contents of text files so i'll stick with searchmonkey and a slightly slower search.

You need to be a little more specific in your questions to get good answers. E.g. which Mint version and which desktop you are talking about. Your question is also somewhat ambiguous. If I was in a particularly pedantic mood the answer would be 'Yes of course - they are all open-source so anybody ca...

The problem here is, partly my fault, I did not specify the version of Mint I am using.

LOL, and I didn't ask, not did I check that the solution worked in 18.3 and 19. We will share the blame. All is well that ends well.

Don't think anything unusual is in Grub, except for trying to make USB mouse AutoSuspend work, which so far, is working, thanks to you.

Thanks for the credit but I'm pretty sure it was gm10 who helped you with that fix....

If you take a read through the linked thread above it appears you need to remove the lightning extension in Thunderbird for the repo package version to work. Sorry I can't be sure of exact steps - I don't use Thunderbird. Try posting in the linked thread if you get stuck. For the installation of the...

Edit - I've just dug up an old game and given these a try - zenity is the way to go.

I've updated the script above....

The native notifications you can set to use a time based policy or a percentage based policy using dconf / gsettings. I've never changed them as I don't run my machine on battery very often but time based notifications are working for me. If you are messing with the percentages in dconf be sure to t...

so, then in further reading before posting this thread, I read this https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=279097 and read that in Cinnamon, some Power Management options have been lost.... shutdown being one of them. That thread says nothing about lost Power Management options - the OP...

Apparently you just need xul-ext-lightning for calendar support in 60.2.

apt install xul-ext-lightning to install.

Can you start nemo (Files) from the terminal - the command is nemo ? What new application is missing from the menu? Deleting the contents of ~/.local/share/applications followed by using the reset function in the menu editor should cleanly reset the menu to defaults. Back the contents up somewhere e...

I'm intrigued - if you work out a good solution please post back.

I can reproduce your bug with the example given - investigating.... 1) It happens in a fresh user account. 2) The underlying config files changes by copying / pasting to 'Other' appear to look as they should. 3) Copying and pasting to other categories works fine. 4) I tried Mate to see if the same ...

I had a bunch of stuff showing up (mainly icons links) and fixed with your second command. 1. last time I was using gksu if I'm not mistaken, not it doesn't work anymore.
