Rule of thumb is to always double quote variables in shell scripts. Actions - are context specific - you can limit them to specific mime-types, file extensions, or apply other custom conditions to control when they do or don't appear in the context menu. You can edit your desktop files with a text e...

I don´t know except to suggest that you can use inxi -Ca to see what your processor is actually vulnerable to and what mitigations are active.

For windows in general right click the header/title bar and check "always on top".

For desklets you can't have them always on top. But if you want a quick look the keyboard shortcut Super+S shows the desklets. Super key == Win key...

You normally need to clear your thumbnail cache and log off and back on after making changes to thumbnailers - the thumbnail cache its here - ~/.cache/thumbnails A hint - when possible it is normally better to copy system files to a user controlled equivalent location and edit there. It minimises us...

The launcher idea really isn't working for me. It looks like the file paths get broken by the embedded spaces - how do I ensure the whole file path gets passed into the script as one parameter? On a quick test I don´t have any issues with this. Are you double quoting "$1" etc in your scri...

Take a look here...

Time for Mint 22

Sorry for the delayed response. So I´ḿ not sure where to go from here, but here are some ideas for further investigation 1) Anything interesting in dmesg? dmesg -l emerg,alert,crit,err will filter out informational and just leave errors and worse. 2) Any indication in the journal what is going on wh...

The screen shakes is this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/2062951 - but nothing to do with the slow boot.

I don't want my script as a launcher on the desktop. Drag and drop onto a .desktop file (aka launcher) works as you describe in Nemo. They don´t have to be on the desktop, they can be be anywhere you like. Also what you are trying to do sounds like an ideal candidate for a user created nemo action ...

To fix the codium issue. 1)Open the relevant sources file is a text editor (xed) with elevated privileges export SUDO_EDITOR="xed -w" sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscodium.list 2) You should see this content deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/vscodium-archive-keyring.gpg] https://downl...

There's nothing wrong with the Wilma repo, it just doesn't share its PGP signature "InRelease" What does that mean? I'm curious as to why it always fails, could you explain in laymen terms? I will try :wink: It´s not failing. It is being ignored, because it doesn't exist, This is just two...

As per the existing answers. From man dconf with added emphasis from me The dconf program can perform various operations on a dconf database , such as reading or writing individual values or entire directories. The dconf database is ~/.config/dconf/user As-well as exploring it with the GUI dconf-edi...

Anyway, that turned into a long one but thank you once again for instructions on how to change the behavior! :D I was genuinely interested in your thoughts, I suspect should a developer happen across this thread they probably would be as-well. There is definitely a design/UI issue here with the acc...

Yeah, I wouldn't want to completely disable authentication. But it seems like a simple "Allow" or "Deny" like Windows would be a better way to go than typing your password every time you want to install something--or at least providing that option. That is one of many reasons th...

Yep, bookmarks are not in metadata. Favorites are in both metadata and dconf, and it appears the dconf list has some sort of precedence.

This command will dump a lists of nemo favorites to a text file called nemo-favorites in the working directory (by default your home directory) dconf dump /org/x/apps/favorites/ > nemo-favorites On the other machine having moved the file to it this command will load that file (from the same location...

Thanks - so no ZFS fils systems on your system, and I see nothing odd in the status of the various ZFS services. It is without a doubt systemd-udev-settle.service slowing your boot. https://i.imgur.com/4S1Ot1b.png So the mystery is why is disabling zfs services or the udev service stopping you booti...
