It is too bad the author of ARECA BACKUP has abandoned it so it is about time to move on. I've been using Areca for several years for differential backups and the one thing I like is the way it can do a merge to update the full-backup base to keep it current. So after a set number of backups, you ca...

Second time this week; earlier with the firefox and snmp update. Today the with new version of Update Manager that it want to install. I click "Apply the Update" and enter the password. It sits for a bit and then stops. There is a message at the bottom of the screen says "Could not install the secur...

Thank you. Barada Nikto. It only bothered me because I didn't understand it. That was very helpful and I appreciate the answer. The only Windows I'm sharing with is a Virtual Box Windows 10 which I use for Quicken on one of the hosts. Virtual Box sharing takes care of what I need so I see no need fo...

^^ Thank you...So that was probably it. After fiddling with this for hours, I remembered Timeshift which I had not thought about in forever. I hit the restore-button which put everything back to the day before and that has fixed the issue. It's just the two machines at my home; desktop and laptop th...

Thank you. It's cinnamon and Mint 19.1. When it asks to select a program I keyed in "nemo". But that opens the "Files" screen. Network appears on the sidebar of that screen but when you select it, it says network:/// Nemo cannot handle network. So nemo doesn't work. Where in the heck are these deskt...

Not network-manager for the internet. The Network icon on the desktop where you see the file shares.
I'd reinstalled samba and now when I click the Network icon I get this pop-up message.
It gives me a screen to select a program but I have no idea what to pick. Could someone please help?

There are dozens of kernel updates with nothing in the changelog but "Bump ABI". What does "Bump ABI" mean?

So I hope this screenshot shows. But yes, I see the temperature just fine. i guess you're in luck. haven't used this weather app since ubuntu 12.04 but in my mint 19.1 cinnamon and xfce i don't see the temperature only the icon. what version of mint are you on? Mint 19.1; Most current versions of O...

for mint19 whoever wants my-weather-indicator_0.9.1-0extras18.04.1_all.deb if you don't want to install the ppa cinnamon/xfce mint 19.1 is not showing temperature in system tray only the icon is visible with my-weather-indicator. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hTywRK2HbaY/U0U8gXncx5I/AAAAAAAAIGg/7ID7-c...

Apparently YAHOO is no longer providing weather data (to anyone) so the app has nothing to load.

Actually, I've found the Weather Desklet works pretty darn good. So I've switched to that.

I spent about half a day trying to get the WeatherBug desktop app to work in WINE but couldn't. It seems anything I try in WINE that needs .NET doesn't work.

WOEID Lookup Service is RESTORED

see http://woeid.rosselliot.co.nz/

But the applet still doesn't show anything

So did Yahoo turn it back on or what?

I'm not sure there is much mockturtl can do if the data source has been discontinued. It's not technically a software bug. We can just hope he can find another source.

Thank you for the advice. I tried all of those things but the result ended being the same. I finally decided the best thing was to manually reconfigure everything. It would still be interesting though to understand what was happening and how it was getting reset.

So I messed up my panel configuration checking out the new "modern" panel in 19.1. So I timeshifted back to 19. I restored from the backup directories ~/.cinnamon and ~/.config/dconf and restarted cinnamon. Everything was great.... until I rebooted or just restarted cinnamon again. Then everything w...

Not only that. I can't even send an email. The entire area where you key in the TO, CC, BCC addresses is blanked out and I can't even move the cursor into the body area to type anything. Someone really hosed up this update.

So if I install this Intel-microcode update that is in update manager today, is my computer going to start running like a turtle?

That is good information. My question is how did you know to do this and where are all of these userChrome options and variables documented? I can see this being very useful.

Tried it in a VM first. EVERY addon is broken. Not doing it. That was the main reason for staying with FF to start with...all the UI customization. Setting ignore in update manager.
