Re: Newbie GIMP help, please
SprinterDriver, thanx for that. Seems awfully complex for what in lesser programs is one tool. Yes it is, but the focus for Gimp is being a photo editor. For task like making arrows and any text annotations I use Inkscape because that is a program that is more geared toward such tasks than Gimp. If...

Re: Newbie GIMP help, please
Hi. For this kind of tasks I'd rather used Inkscape. When you mention (make the borders thicker) I assume the border is already embedded in the image (consists of individual pixels). In that case, the whole drawing process must be redone. However when you do graphics in vector images, the concept is...

Try to reboot, and after you've logged in to desktop you try to connect it again.

Re: Samsung Strikes Again
Yesterday I just discovered that an update on my Samsung A32 phone had suddenly installed 3 unwanted apps without my consent. Because of this, I figured I'd give each of that app a bottom review on google play. However, it turned out I was blocked from giving any review. Later, I figured that one ca...

What if the OS was the means to get food on the table ?
Ok, I just get this stupid (funny?) idea in my head and felt for writing it down before I forget - comparison between OS'es: Windows user: Pay for the meal and the chef delivers. However the chef won't tell what ingredients or animal meat used in the food. Nor can you make specific wishes for your t...

Re: How to save a Note after it has been made?
I can see from your other thread that you are referring to the Notes app, which I mentioned in that other thread and which is preinstalled in Mint. I don't actually use the app but my assumption is that the notes are saved automatically unless you specifically remove them. I can confirm this is the...

Re: No thumbnails in Caja for ogg files
Ogg files are primarily used as audio files, and thus graphical thumbnail isn't that useful? According to this forum thread < link > ogg files doesn't natively support thumbnail images. I don't know if this is true. Btw, in general < web search > on " How to make Caja file explorer view thumbna...

Hi. I have an old Dell latitude D620 that I've giving away for kids (so their mom doesn't have to loan her computer all the time for kids to do basic school work). I have set up the laptop with four user accounts. The mom have her own user account and have admin privileges. The kids have only regula...

Fails to mount xfs file system created on fedora computer [solved - old os version]
Hi. Have an old 320GB disk that I used Gparted on Fedora 39 to remove old partitions and create a new xfs partition that spans the whole disk space. After that, I used the disk as a target disk for Clonezilla. Clonezilla was set up to run checksum tests on all large files, and there was no indicatio...

tmux - possible to make scroll-wheel to scroll like in terminal
Hi. I'm just starting to get the hang on basic usage of tmux now - trying to use that instead of two terminal windows/tabs. But I just figured that the scroll wheel cause the command prompt line to scroll through previous entered commands in that pane, but I expected to be able to scroll through the...

The issue has arisen after the photos taken on my Android mobile phone could not be displayed on the phone. The Android error was 'Unknown picture format or corrupted file' or words to that effect.

Memtest - should I advice friends to use Linux iso over the one from passmark ?
Hi folks. I have this habit of whenever I came in a discussion on testing of RAM, I'd advice using Memtest that ships with Linux boot images, rather than the freemium version located at passmark. This is where I ask if I'm factually wrong and I need correction if so. I use to emphasize the fact that...

Re: Is this old Lenovo Thinkpad T410 capable of running Obs studio ?
Thank you for clarifying
Btw. I use SimpleScreenRecorder instead as it does work on this hardware.
