I use Python 3.8.10 and no geany installed, but it works now! Thanks for this!! 8) Is there a way to code into it on which screen it shows? I have 2 monitors and it would be nice if a notify pops up on the screen where the application runs.. for example, conky only runs on screen 2. I'm glad it's w...

I'm a total noob with python... how can i use this? I created a file called notipy , paste the code into it and saved it. How do i call it? I tried on the terminal but that gave me this error: $ notipy Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/admin/bin/notipy", line 107, in <module>...

The default method for creating desktop notifications is the command 'notify-send'. That does not support the creation of 'action' buttons - buttons that run a command when clicked. I've been wanting notifications with action buttons for a long time. I routinely run shell scripts to download files t...

I can't provide any help, but I'm experiencing exactly the same thing when I reboot my computer.

Same setup as you, Linux Mint 21.2 XFCE fresh installation.

What format are the subtitles in?

I use .srt subtitles, with the subtitle file name the same as the video file name, and both VLC and smplayer display the subtitles automatically.

I'm running Linux Mint 21.2 XFCE with the Mint-Y-Dark-Purple theme. I wanted to change the icon for 'text-html' files from the default icon (that turned out to be 'text-html.png') to a Firefox svg icon. I also wanted to do it without altering any system files. I searched on this forum and online gen...

Ok, to answer my own question in case anyone is also curious: From https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-y-icons : The application and category icons originate from the Moka icon theme: Link: https://github.com/moka-project/moka-icon-theme and The mimetype icons originate from the Elementary icon theme:...

This isn't a complaint, I'm just curious. I noticed that the size range for icons in the Mint-Y theme in Linux Mint 21.2 XFCE are different for different categories. For example, icons in the 'apps' category (/usr/share/icons/Mint-Y/apps/) are in the range: '16 16@2x 22 22@2x 24 24@2x 32 32@2x 48 48...

In the Settings - Window Manager - Keyboard tab there is 'Tile window to the left' and 'Tile window to the right'. I've set keyboard shortcuts to do those actions and it sounds like what you're looking for.

I'm using Linux Mint 21 Vanessa XFCE.

Do it simple and disable screensaver and automatic power settings from the resṕective settings. I did all of that: I then disabled the screensaver every way I could think of by changing every relevant time-out to 'Never' and disabling every 'Lock' setting in the Screensaver and Power settings. I'm ...

I'm trying out Linux Mint 21 beta Cinnamon on my desktop PC. I never use either the screensaver or the lock screen, so I first tried to uninstall the cinnamon-screensaver package. It seems that cinnamon-screensaver is a dependency of several cinnamon packages, so I gave up on that: synaptic - uninst...

I've found a workaround for the moment. I created the file $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css. It acts as an over-ride of the current theme. I don't know how well it will work in the long term. headerbar { min-height: 24px; padding: 0 6px; color: #cccccc ; background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, sha...

I apologise if this subject has been done to death. I searched the forum but the only recent reference was an unanswered question from June 2022. Like some other people, I need a window theme in which the active window stands out by having a strongly different titlebar colour compared to inactive wi...

Thanks! I didn't know about 'drivetemp' in the kernel. It works perfectly, and it doesn't require sudo. In hunting around, I also found that smartctl from smartmontools can get the drive temperature: sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda | grep 'Temperature_Celsius' 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 117 106 000 Ol...

It seems that Ubuntu 22.04 has dropped the 'hddtemp' package, which means that it will not be available in Mint 21. This is in Mint 21 XFCE: sudo apt install hddtemp Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Package hddtemp is not available, but...

I discovered that Mate does not include a utility to save a history of desktop notifications. Being rained in for a few days, I decided to write a small python program as a workaround. It isn't a panel app or anything fancy like that. It simply monitors dbus for notifications, saves the details and ...

I've recently install Linux Mint 20.3, and for the first time I chose the Mate desktop. Most aspects of Mate have been great, but a couple of the dialogs have issues. The first one with a problem was the Preferences - Displays configuration dialog. I use 4 monitors and the window showing the monitor...

Yes this fix should persist through updates. I've been using it for years without a problem. Custom systemd services in /etc/systemd/system seem to be ignored by updates so they don't get messed with.

I don't know if this counts as a solution, but I have found a way to reconnect the ethernet device after resume from suspend. Running the commands nmcli or lspci -v reveal the driver and kernel module used by the ethernet device, in this case alx . $lspci -v ... 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm...
