Linux Mint Forums

You generally don't. There is no need. If you want to understand why, here's an article that explains it.

I want to quote this because it seems to have been overlooked: Most of the time, drivers for Linux are in the kernel and installed automatically. Adding to this: the drivers that are packed with the kernel will not necessarily show in the Driver Manager. The important question is: is your wireless i...

My home is not on a separate partition. Should it be? That's a matter of opinion, and of preference. Some people here consider it to be more complicated. I'm not one of them. I consider it no more complicated than the standard setup, and it's much easier if you want the ability to reinstall the OS ...

How can you do that system reinstall w/out overwriting home folder? Is that a setting I keep missing in the Live Boot Cd Installation? I could have sworn I knew that installation process like the back of my hand. It's not a setting. It's done in the Something Else section of the installer, where yo...

The end is saving space on Kobo reader and speeding up performance on the ereader See how you're doing that thing again? You've only now told us what the actual question is, namely: How do I batch optimize a bunch of coloured JPG files for use on my Kobo reader? Instead of asking us how to get to w...

You won't see the password - it is hidden for security purpose.

That used to be the case, but it got changed in recent versions... I think from Mint 19 onward.

Ok, so in English, you mean these problems are only related to updating Wine, Opera and Skype? Right? But all of these are working just fine without problems! Keep in mind that programs need to be kept updated because many of the updates they receive are meant to keep them secure. This is very impo...

It is making me think that when the time comes to get new toners for the new printer, do I just dump it and buy another new printer? If all you care about is money, then that is certainly an option. I use older/used laser printers which can be had for a song (for reasons that you now fully understa...

XnView can do batch operations easily, including this one. It can be installed through the Software Manager.

Mod note:
The question by dsctr is now here.

I guess I shouldn't post to this thread any longer, since we are off subject from scanners recommendations. Moderation note: No worries, I've split the topic off from the original thread. This is now your topic. Please don't piggyback on other people's existing topics like that; just post a new one...

on install, I get the opportunity to restore.

I'm not sure what that means. In exactly which stage does that happen? What does it look like?

In any case, i see no reason not to try a restore... after all, you can always do a reinstall if it doesn't work out. There's nothing to lose here.

I don't see one posted, but feel free to start a new topic.

If only she was alive now to see and hear "robocalls", "scamcalls", as well as a flood of "donation" for some cause or another as well as a plethora of political robocalls, and lets not forget "surveys" phone calls, etc. that we are all plagued with these days...lol...DAMIEN No, we're not. This see...

So, lesson learned: things could have been a lot easier, and a lot of time could have been saved, by starting a thread called 'How can I make Calibre work with my Kobo?' That was the underlying question. Deciding in which direction (Windows version) the solution had to lie only made things more comp...

I cannot get into Linux directly. It boots into Kodi. I can get to a Terminal but that is it. Okay, so what I meant to say (but left out) is that you can most likely, as Catweazle suggested, boot from a live medium (USB stick or DVD)... and THEN you can use the file manager to salvage what needs sa...

I did come to the forums. I was searching around for about an hour.

It might have been quicker to post a question. It's not a read-only medium.

So... the launcher takes its icon from an image file that's no longer in the place that the launcher points to? I'm interested to know whether that situation survives a reboot... but if it doesn't, it's easy to fix.

I am having a similar problem of low disc space for updates

Did you try the solution that is stated in this thread?
If that doesn't help, please start your own topic. Thank you.

I could just browse to the appropriate png-file on my desktop. I'm a happy man.

Yes! That's what I meant. Good job!
Are you sure you want to keep it on your desktop, though? It might get confusing to see the icon there twice...
