[SOLVED] Re: Videos not playing in X/Twitter and Facebook.

Okay, this is what I have done. I discovered that Firefox was working fine and that the Videos all played . I then went about uninstalling the Chromium Browser that was installed and then reinstalled another version of Chromium (flatpak Unchromium) and it now works fine. As an author and spending mu...

Videos not playing in X/Twitter and Facebook.

Hi, just recently the videos on X/Twitter and Facebook are no longer playing. As I am the only Linux Mint user within my group of friends there is no point in asking them if said videos are working on their Computers. So, I ask my friends in this group if you are having problems playing videos on Fa...

Re: Terminal

Just to let you know that I uninstalled anaconda3 and the terminal is back to normal. I wanted a speech 2 text program as I have a frozen shoulder and cannot use the keyboard as it's too painful. I haven't found a program good enough to keep and use as they are all way too slow. I guess I'll have to...

Re: Terminal

Have you recently installed Anaconda or something else that provides virtual environments? Good morning, thanks for replying. Yes, I did install a 'voice to text' program and I think it was Anaconda. I no longer wish to use the program simply because it doesn't work very well, but am unsure of how ...

[Resolved] Terminal

When I open the terminal it starts with (Base)... I'm pretty sure it wasn't there previously.
Is this normal or I am imagining things?
Each time I open the terminal I keep thinking that 'base' shouldn't be there and it's annoying me.
I've added a screenshot.
Thanks gael.

How do I install y-ppa-manager in Linux Mint 21? I tried to install it from the CLI and I got a message... It does not support Jammy!
