Hi overkill22, That is a bummer, perhaps you can send it back for a refund because Amazon.com is great with that? I would highly recommend getting a device like the one below that does not even require a computer to convert VHS and other video sources with video and audio cables (camcorders, etc......

An update to this topic.

I bought a cheap converter card like this https://amzn.to/2ZvtcD6 and the result truly sucks. I've cleaned the VHS head but still the quality was really really low.
I'm still looking for an acceptable solution that won't cost me hundreds of dollars.

I have mint 18.2 and would like to change the accent color.
At the moment it is blue, and it's the highlighting, and buttons highlight in nemo etc.

I can't find a way to change this setting system-wide.

You understand it correctly, or mostly: the first one runs after starting Update Manager, not boot, although that's usually the same thing. While you can and should set the "First" timer to all zero (0) to disable it, currently the second timer doesn't keep state, meaning it will start counting dow...

In Update Manager > Preferences > Auto-refresh there are few options, I'm not sure how they work. 1) First, refresh the list of updates after dd:hh:mm > is this related to every boot of the computer? Like, when you on the computer, it will check the updates after dd:hh:mm ? 2) Then, refresh the list...

It looks like when I OFF the screen with fn + f7 or with the power management settings > turn off screen when inactive for, it somehow keep something on behind the black screen. I'm having this problem only when the screen is turned off, not if I'm using the laptop or the screen is on with a static ...

After using the laptop for a while the problem goes away. That would tend to indicate the problems is not screen burn. Screen burn used to occur predominantly on CRT monochrome screens that displayed a largely static image all day every day. With the advent of colour screens the problems was minimi...

I'm experiencing a problem similar to this from a while now. http://i.imgur.com/AtmbhkS.jpg *image is not my screen but the problem is similar I don't understand how it happen. I tried to off the screen with the function button + f7 (on my laptop asus zenbook will off the display), but after a while...

What country are you in?

Traveling, Malaysia at the moment

Normally the iw reg get will show 00 for a code which is generic and may limit what 5GHz channels are used, do iwlist chan to see what channels you can use, you may find the channel used by your router is not in the list and setting your country code might fix it I can't understand the results I'm ...

Check yours: sudo iw reg get If you get 00, that is a one-size-maybe-fits-all setting. Find yours here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 Then set it t...

are you using a router that is dual band (both 2.4 and 5ghz compatiable?)...if so, have you accessed the router to see what is connecting with each device either 2.4 or 5? yes, the router is dual band and everything is set up correctly from that end. In fact I'm connected to the 5GHz with my phone....

I have a laptop that should be compatible with the 5Ghz wifi (802.11ac if not mistaken), however I can't see any 5Ghz network in my network manager. I always overlooked at this but now I'd like to give a try and see if there's any difference. Is there anything I have to do to enable the 5Ghz? Networ...

I don't have that file

Ever run bleachbit?

ehm....

It's not a default package in 19. To check what was present at initial install you can review the contents of /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz This command will extract the contents to your home, parse the file to produce a package list and display that list in your text-editor. cp /var/log/ins...

Interestingly it is in the manifest and is used by the installer - looking back at apt logs it gets purged from the installed OS as part of installation.

It took my attention today because I had an update pending for this package and I found it weird.

Looks like it's preinstalled: apt search mokutil i mokutil - tools for manipulating machine owner keys p mokutil:i386 - tools for manipulating machine owner keys Thanks. How can I check this if I don't have a fresh installed machine?

I'd like to know if the package 'mokutil' is installed by default in linux mint 19 or it is an additional package.
I was not able to find it in the list of packages installed by defaul in mint 19 here >>> http://packages.linuxmint.com/index.php

Thanks

The first DNS is PIA's I think. The second is Cloudflare. I've got no experience in using VPN's I was just interested in case i ever decided I needed to start using one. Check this page then https://www.privacytools.io/ I'm very happy with PIA, I'm changing only because it is US based. When I start...

Is a DNS server hijack a possibility? What does systemd-resolve --status | grep "DNS Servers:" output? Edit - just read your last post - so which VPN? Probably one to avoid. :) It could be to be honest. My DNS at the moment are: DNS Servers: 209.222.18.222 DNS Servers: 1.1.1.1 I tried to change the...
