Pay attention to "places". No matter what icon flavor.

Thank thee

Folder with own pictures: as far as it is Mint MATE 19.3 I see no problem. Click on the folder icon in "Properties" > in the window that opens, navigate to a picture folder of your choice and double-click the desired picture. Then set the size with "Resize Icon ...". Is actually...

.... so perhaps it's as simple as downloading that .deb file and double-clicking it.

That is the client/server software and yes it is just that simple but you need to do it on both machine (player and server or source and target).

I apologize but I am getting old and senile. I seem to remember reading something about a future version of Linux Mint incorporating NoMachine NX protocol for remote desktop management. I found that very interesting as I have been running NoMachine for years. Now I can not seem to find any reference...

In my opinion ( which is worth less than what you are paying for it ): BACKUPS: fsarchive is BY FAR the most reliable backup and can be run on a LIVE system or Live CD or Live USB timeshift is the most convenient backup rsync is more complex but can be extremely efficient Note: I always configure Ti...

The fourth thing I do on any new Linux Mint installation is:

I have done three installs of: Release Linux Mint 20 Ulyana 64-bit (based on based on Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal Fossa") MATE 1.24.0 on Oracle Virtualbox with very few problems or difficulties encountered. I use a file server based on Linux Mint 19.x with Samba file shares. I was pleasantly surpr...

I am still running 19.X on my desktop but I have Oracle VirtualBox to run test systems. I run several installs for each version of Linux Mint Mate that I use and make notes so the next time I have a straightforward and consistent procedure to build a 'base' OS image to my liking. So from those notes...

I need help removing a name/link/password for an FTP site in Caja. The password is permanently saved ("remember always"). The problem is that the name.password combination give me access to the lower level of the FTP site. I need to replace the name/password combination to get access to th...

I know this is an OLD thread but .... I have previously used Draftsight on both Windows and Linux. It was a branded copy of Grabert's Ares Commander which is still available for Linux. Also note that 'Corel CAD' for Windows was the same program with a few add-ons. I am sorry to hear of Draftsight's ...

I never understood why some people seemed to think the ONLY problem this caused was editing configuration files (which is easy enough to get around).

Speaking of trolls, the post that you are responding to is over a year and half old.

This issue is going to get far less attention now that Ubuntu changed how sudo works. sudo no longer keeps the home environment of the user that invokes it. It changes it to root like all the other branches of Linux. Pray tell in what version? I am running Linux Mint Mate 19.2 $ echo $HOME /home/le...

Try using this: sudo mkdir /media/$USER/private sudo chmod 777 /media/$USER/private sudo mount //srv9521.local/private /media/$USER/private -w -o username=$USER OR sudo mkdir /mnt/$USER/private sudo chmod 777 /mnt/$USER/private sudo mount //srv9521.local/private /mnt/$USER/private -w -o username=$U...

And what does this do: sudo mount -t cifs //srv9521.local/private /media/$LOGNAME/private -o username=$LOGNAME,uid=lewis A CIFS mount always mounts with owner=root. uid=lewis replaces root as owner with you. $ sudo mount -t cifs //srv9521.local/private /media/$LOGNAME/private -o username=$LOGNAME,u...

[2] What is the relationship between $LOGNAME and the user:lewis. Only $LOGNAME can get to the "private" folder so unless the two are the same it's irrelevant what the permissions on "private" happen to be. They are the same .... I do not have multiple personality disorder. FYI:...

argh .... All I want to do is backup some files from one computer to another and both are running Linux Mint 19.2 Target machine is //srv9521.local Target share is /private Target user is lewis (that would be me) Screenshot 01.png Screenshot 02.png No matter what I do it tells me I do not have permi...

I will answer part one of my own question: "/var/lib/samba/usershares" For part two I only have this comment: "Consistency is next to godliness .... and this is NOT consistent" Seems I only have 'anonymous' shares working ... private ( logged in user ) is still failing. Edit: I h...

Gosh this is needlessly complicated. Is there really no easier way to share a folder via SMB?

AMEN !!!
