This is how it works on my system. AnyDesk.png Upon reboot, it typically does take a little while between when AnyDesk first detects that the system is booted and when the desktop initializes. If I try to connect before that delay, I am prompted with a message that "No desktop is detected, do I...

Perhaps not related, but I noticed you have the following in your /etc/fstab : /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 Do you notice a change if you have a disk in your optical drive vs NOT having one? Your fstab is trying to attach to the volume in your CD-ROM automatically - - wondering...

Get a temporary connection by phone: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/temporary-internet.html Then maybe try again what ralplpcr suggested. Either that, or log into your Windows dual-boot, download the DPK from https://pkgs.org/download/r8168-dkms , put it on a USB, and go from there....

As I understand it, this is due to some bug in more recent kernels of Linux. It's a problem that's been around quite some time - - - try following the instructions at this link to install the correct driver, and see if that fixes it: https://realtechtalk.com/Ubuntu_Debian_Linux_Mint_r8169_r8168_Netw...

I'm not 100% positive which user is executing those startup scripts? I know that the old rc.local method executed the script as root, so the sudo action wasn't necessary. What does the script do when you double-click it? If you set it up correctly with the execute bit, it *should* do the exact same ...

I don't know what the service name might be, or if there even *is* a service that has been created with expressvpn? You could check their website, or any documentation you may have.... or you could make one yourself. The beauty of linux is that you can create all sorts of things yourself without all...

Hello I am using Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon. The daemon for expressvpn is not starting anymore during startup. If I start it manually with "systemctl start expressvpn", it works afterwards, but I would like it automatically It sounds as though you may need to re-enable the service. I don't ...

Do you mean that you get to a desktop -- not the login page - - and are prompted similar to this? rdeWY.jpg If so, it's been asked many times before. It is probably tied with a selection you made of setting up Auto-login. Please refer to this thread: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=3481...

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you running Linux Mint from a USB, or did you "install" the ISO to the USB? An .ISO is by nature a read-only file system. You don't want to change permissions of anything contained within that .ISO - - especially if it contains Windows files that don'...

That should be pretty simple? Give this a try.... Open a terminal Under EDIT, choose PREFERENCES Select the COLORS tab De-select the "use colors from system theme" checkbox Set your built-in scheme to "Tango Dark" Set your pallette scheme to "Tango" Re-check the "u...

I suspect it may be a remnant of the anbox installation you did using the regular sudo apt install anbox . Before I did that, I made sure to fully remove any residual of the failed version out of the repository: sudo apt remove anbox sudo apt autoclean sudo apt autoremove --purge Obviously there are...

I'll check into the virtual machine thing some more. I certainly _ought_ to have sufficient RAM installed for that, and so long as I can configure and utilize the hard drive(s) space I have available, there's certainly enoug storage space to do it that way. I choose to assume the processor in this ...

I am at work now, so I can only test on a virtual Mint box with no camera.... but I was able to successfully get it working. :) I DID NOT have good luck with Anbox that was in the Mint repository. That version appears to be fairly old, and wouldn't launch for me. Instead, I chose to proceed with the...

@ralplpcr so 'snapd' is not available straight for Linux Mint... you have to make some changes to get it installed... but the good thing is that you can do: sudo apt install anbox and that installs anbox.... but I only tested it on a VM and nothing happens once that's installed. I will have to chec...

Another option you *may* wish to consider is to install a virtual Android device. I prefer Genymotion - - there is some complexity in setting it up, but once you do you could install the Android WhatsApp client directly. Anbox is another virtual Android emulator, which may be simpler? Google's own A...

Agree completely - - it's not for me. But, if KDE is desired, it is at least a stable & well-supported option?

... My recomended. Download windows 10, and write it to the USB pend drive with LM built in USB writter tool, from there just install windows 10 from scratc, you should be able to use your windows 8 key for windows 10. I second this. But the USB writer tool will not suffice. You will need to use Wo...

There is a way to do it, but it's not going to be super-easy or necessarily cheap. There are several USB Capture HDMI devices that will translate an HDMI signal into something that can be played as a video stream being captured from your USB port. I've used a Magewell device, but there are several o...

If you're not tied to the "Ubuntu ecosystem", you may also wish to check out Manjaro. They have a rather nice KDE/Plasma distribution and pretty active community to help support. Not everything will be the same - - it uses ARCH Linux as it's base, and is a "rolling distribution"....

Support for Windows 8 ended on January 12, 2016, and support for Windows 8.1 has ended on January 10, 2023. Did you know this before the Linux Mint install? What did you do exactly in preparation for this possible outcome that you might not like it before you installed linux mint? describe the proc...
