There is no "one button" way to clear the clipboard in CopyQ. You have to select all the content in the clipboard manually, then delete. Major oversight IMO. We are getting about a foot, but there is high wind and it is very cold so drifting. Snow is really nice when it is fresh and you don't have t...

Hey, thanks phd21 - it worked. The icon isn't the same, but who cares if it works! Funny that the Flatpak one is the one that doesn't work. What is it now - about the 10th time you've helped me fix an issue? Appreciate you taking your time to help me yet again. Hope you are enjoying your 75-78 degre...

Yes, it is in the startup apps.

I have also tried to launch it manually.

Just as an FYI, I tried installing Parcellite clipboard manager via the Software Manager to use in the mean time, and it works fine, and the icon is there.

I have been using CopyQ for quite a while, and use it constantly. Withing the last few days the icon does not appear in the lower right of the panel as it always has, and therefore I can't use it. I have: 1- done a full restart: icon still not there 2- opened the System Monitor, go to Processes, and...

If that works, that would be great. I'll print out those instructions and next time I get a lockup (could be days - it does not happen often) I will try that. I will post back here with the results. Thank you for the suggestion.

I had another lockup, and this time I experimented. If interested, I posted what I tried and the results here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=285795&p=1581877#p1581877

I had another lockup this morning, and now that I know a bit more, I experimented: When the system locks up, nothing works except I can move the mouse around and the mouse pointer moves on the screen. Right & Left click do nothing. First, I tried to just leave it for 10 minutes and see if it would r...

OK thanks for that. I'm glad I asked, I won't try and kill VeraCrypt. I have 16GB of RAM in that computer which is a Dell Optiplex 7010 with an i7 & Samsung 500GB SSD. The system monitor shows I'm normally using about 12GB of RAM, which means I have about 4GB left free. I've thought about switching ...

OK, what I mean by "loosing access" is best explained by my first question in this post: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=285795 What you both say about loosing data makes sense, and I understand that. What I don't want to do is mess up the system in some way. I'm not all that savvy...

Curious only - not a help question. If you loose access to a process (a program) for whatever reason, and you go to the "System Monitor" app that comes with Cinnamon, and you choose "Processes", then select the program and kill it - are there any negatives? I know that if you just turn off the the p...

Is it any different if you restart Cinnamon only (rather than the x-server) via Ctrl-Alt-Esc? Is it any different if you have indicator support on/off? Settings > General... I thought Ctrl-Alt-Backspace was just restarting Cinnamon, so thanks for letting me know about that. To be honest, I don't un...

I honestly have no idea where to post this, so move to wherever you feel is appropriate. Once in a while, the system locks up while I'm working - I'm guessing it is Cinnamon because ctrl-alt-backspace works to get me back. No complaints because I really push the system hard with many programs runnin...

OK, I'm late to this party, but I'll just add my 2 cents and say xfe is amazing for certain uses. I use the included file manager in Cinnamon otherwise.

Good catch - I missed that. Bet you are right if the OS running inside VB isn't the issue.

Just in case .... the operating system that you are running in VB must be shut down for you to be able to make that change. If that is not the issue, you might want to ask the question on the VB forum section.

When you start VB and before you start the OS you use in VB, go to "Settings", then "System", then "Processor" and choose the number you want. If you have 4 cores, I would suggest no more than 2. If you have 8 (like an i7), I would suggest no more than 4. "OK" the changes, and start your OS, then ch...

If you opted for LVM or encrypted it doesn't ask how large of a boot partition to allocate

Ah, OK. This is the first time I did an encrypted install. I've been using Mint since 17.2, but none before were encrypted.

I'm learning - slowly, but learning.

You probably never cleaned the older kernels after kernel updtaes. Make sure you're booted to the latest then and copy and paste the following in one fell swoop into the terminal OLDCONF=$(dpkg -l|grep "^rc"|awk '{print $2}') CURKERNEL=$(uname -r|sed 's/-*[a-z]//g'|sed 's/-386//g') LINUXPKG="linux-...

Remove old kernels either via Update Manager or all in one go by running this in a terminal window: dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' 'linux-image-[^g]*'|sort -u|sed -e '/^$/d' -e 's/\~[^~]*$//' -e 's/\.[^.]*$//' -e "/$(uname -r|sed 's/-generic\|-lowlatency//')/d" -e 's/.*/linux-*-&*/'|tr '\n' ' '|xa...

OK makes sense from the message, but what do I do? BTW, why doesn't it just take more space from the open space in the SSD?
