Linux Mint Forums

Yes, I will cross post here with any info from the VeraCrypt forum. I'm actually surprised that nobody so far has even commented yet on the VeraCrypt forum. I agree I can't be the only one, but you never know. There are settings in VeraCrypt that I don't understand enough to want to mess with. Two a...

Lately when using VeraCrypt, my system starts to respond very slowly with long delays after a click, and memory usage goes to max (16Gb), and swap is maxed out as well (according to System Manager). This happens when transferring files to VeraCrypt containers, not out of them. Transfer speed into co...

Thank you so much greerd. That fixed it. Excellent help.

You were right: On her computer, Function F8 cycles through the monitor/TV options.

Thank you.

She says that fixed it.

She has one more question.

How do you set it so that the computer screen goes off when the TV is on?

She says it is automatic in Windows 10.

I've installed Mint 18.2 Cinnamon on an ASUS X541NA-RS91-CB Notebook PC, Model #: X541N for someone wanting to switch over from Windows 10. Due to her need to have Windows 10 for MS Office for work related items, I installed Mint alongside WIN 10 as a dual boot system. Everything seemed good when I ...

Try sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6494C6D6997C215E Then refresh the list of updates or do sudo apt-get update It can also be fixed with wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - Thanks for that, I had the same issue today, an...

I guess I was wrong about the cause. It happened again, but this time was interesting. I always have two computers running, one my desktop, one a laptop. Last night the Cinnamon crashed on the desktop, I clicked "yes" to the restart, looked to my laptop and Cinnamon had just crashed on it ...

felemur: Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about your having posted this question here. "Hey, after doing X , I'm experiencing foo . Is anyone else experiencing it, too?" seems a perfectly reasonable question to pose here. Moreover, it would make sense for others to offer advic...

OK, well all I was asking is if people who know more than me about the inner workings of Linux think I should report this - I want to be of help if I can to the developers, but I also don't want to waste people's time with trivial issues. You did not read a complaint. In my first post on this I desc...

Cosmo, not sure if your comment is referring to me or Spacecadet, but if me, I wasn't asking for support, just wondering out loud if this should be reported as a bug - that's why I posted in the Linux chat section.

I guess since at least 2 of us are having that, many more probably are and they are aware of it in the Linux Mint Corporate Headquarters.

PS - welcome to the forum.

About 3 or 4 times since the upgrade to 18.2, I get this: " Cinnamon just crashed. You are currently running in Fallback Mode. Do you want to restart Cinnamon? " I click " yes " and it restarts and all is well - no big deal at all. Is this something I should report somewhere, or ...

MintBean wrote:Yeah, the Mint team did do some work on the Bluetooth app for 18.2.

And it is MUCH appreciated. Bluetooth was the one and only area where Mint (Linux?, Ubuntu?) was not very good in my experience.

Pjotr: Good question, I did not make that clear. They showed up, but not installed. I installed the latest one in each series to try and see if there was any change in how things worked. MintBean: That is what I always thought and did. I guess seeing the 4.8 & 4.10 show up at all threw me off, a...

No idea what category to post this in. Just updated to 18.2, and all is well, but I notice now there is a 4.8 and 4.10 series of Kernels installed when I view the Kernels in the update manager. I did not intentionally install them, but I think they came with the updates that showed up after the 18.2...

OK, answering my own question. I did the upgrade to 18.2 and have fully tested out Win 10 running in VB, and ..... perfect. Phew.

Update to 18.2 fixed all the Bluetooth woes. Yeah!

Updated to 18.2 - script no longer needed.

It only took 3 months to fix this one!

I have Flash disabled, and have not noticed any issues. I'm not 100% sure about this, but aren't some Apple products like the iPad devoid of Flash? EDIT: Just looked it up, here is a quote from somewhere called Lifewire, " Adobe Flash is not supported on iOS devices, including the iPad, iPhone,...

I have Windows 10 guest running flawlessly in VB in 18.1 Cinnamon as host, and though I would like to upgrade to 18.2 when it comes out, I would really like to know if anyone has had issues with 18.2 with Win 10 in VB.
