Linux Mint Forums

Thanks phd21. I do prefer having the up-to-date versions, so I will install that PPA. Appreciate the info.

Hey! Thanks for reminding me of gscan2pdf. I had forgotten to install that after installing Cinnamon 19. I like that program.

Well I did say I was no expert. Hope someone can help you with that.

I am no expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but the fix was only meant to fix the scanner not being recognised. If it scans at all, then the fix worked. My guess here is you need to find a specific driver for your model that works with Linux. Can't help you there, but doing a search for a Eps...

Sometimes when I start a video by clicking on the file name, just as VLC starts (I have set it as the default), it locks everything up. The mouse will still move around, but it seems I can do nothing but a (REISUB). It does not happen often percentage wise, but I edit videos a lot, so this seems to ...

Thanks so much for this! I was going bonkers trying to find out what was causing this issue and getting nowhere until I read your post.

Now that you're not going bonkers from this issue, you can change your name to NoLongerWackyWalt. Welcome to the forum NoLongerWackyWalt.

LOL, I guess I missed that making myself go 'round the roundabout one more time.

Just an FYI for anyone else: After removing 4.15.0- 24 , an update for Linux kernel 4.15.0- 26 appeared in the update manager. I thought, wow, version 26 is here, so I installed it. After I rebooted, I had the same looooong boot issue as before. When I went to the Update Manager to view the kernels,...

Thank you! Fixed. Wow, that was fast. (and now so is my boot time) One thing to note, I had to press Shift before the logo to get into the grub menu. Also, I had 4.15.0- 23 , and using it seems to have done the trick. Really appreciate your help gm10, and I also really appreciate the great people on...

I installed Mint 19 Cinnamon on my Toshiba Satellite L770D with a 128Gb Samsung SSD, and 8Gb RAM. Before Mint 19, I had Mint 18 Cinnamon on it, and before that was Mint 17 Cinnamon. When I installed Mint 19, I did a fresh install. When I turn on the laptop, it quickly boots to the point where you se...

That Grsync is fantastic. I've been working with it, and love how simple and straightforward it is. In hindsight, I probably could have used the already familiar FreeFileSync that I used for incremental backups, and I bet FreeFileSync uses rsync as its back end, but the Grsync is so clean and simple...

Rsync with GUI >> Grsync (available in the repositories)

Yesssssssss! That was close, I almost opened Terminal. I am the GUI guy. LOL.

(Thanks Marziano)

Thank you for that. I normally prefer GUI interfacing, but if learning that solves my problem, then I'm going to learn how to use the rsync command. Seems like I always get dragged kicking and screaming into the terminal. I've done some reading on it already, and I really like the things it can do. ...

I'm wondering how to change a default configuration setting when copying files from one drive or folder to another. I sometimes have to copy very large folders/files from one drive to another, often over 300Gb worth of data (I do some video editing & creation). When I start the copy, it will say som...

Thank you.

OK, thanks for that information - it helps. I will see what I can do to figure out how to resolve the address issue with the routers, and try the Samba share again. I'll post back here whether it works or not. Thanks again for all your help and time in working to resolve this for me. It is much appr...

I was looking for the address of each computer, and it shocked me that they were both 192.168.1.2 It took me a moment to figure this out, but I had forgotten I have another router set up as an access point. The access point router is wired to the main router. The optiplex is wired to the main router...

From Optiplex: david@david-OptiPlex-7010:~$ ping -c3 david-Satellite-L770D.local ping: david-Satellite-L770D.local: Name or service not known david@david-OptiPlex-7010:~$ From L770: david@david-Satellite-L770D:~$ ping -c3 david-OptiPlex-7010.local ping: david-OptiPlex-7010.local: Name or service not...

Did it on both, but no change on what I see in Nemo on both.

I don't know which machine is which so I'll do both: From david-OptiPlex-7010 open a terminal and run: nemo smb://david-Satellite-L770D.local Do you see the [Docs_L770D] subfolder? From david-Satellite-L770D open a terminal and run: nemo smb://david-OptiPlex-7010 Do you see the [Docs_Dell] subfolde...
