Linux Mint Forums

Ja, in 'Preferred Applications'.

Eigenlijk zou ik liever SpaceFM als standaard browser willen hebben en nemo compleet verwijderen, is dat een optie? Of zit deze in cinnamon gebakken? Ik zou Nemo laten staan (die is inderdaad behoorlijk met Cinnamon ineengevlochten) en er een andere naast zetten. Die kun je dan, meen ik, ook als st...

have to ask why the devs didn't wait for unbuntu 18.04.3 to be released before building this? Because Linux Mint releases are based on Ubuntu long term support releases. And so, the whole Linux Mint 19 series is based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. it's not a difficult question to answer. I agree. I found it...

I really don't want to be negative here but many of the Mint repos are not allowing packages to be downloaded. Well, it seems that 'many' here really means 'one', so in that way you are still being a bit negative. :wink: I, too, have had problems with Evowise; try a different mirror, and see how it...

On a typical installation, all available space on the SSD/HDD are used and you need to tell the installer how much to shrink Windows partition to allocate to Mint.

Fair enough... I think I've done that from inside Windows in the past.

it'll get moved into the chat section.

Done. Feel free to keep the thread going there; it's fine, it's just not a Mint support question, is all.

My original title of the thread did not describe the subject very well, so I changed it just now.

Well done, that should help people find it.

Hello, Here's what you do: - Close the Update Manager. - Open a terminal. One way to do that is by typing Ctrl+Alt+t . - Copy the command below. Select it and press Ctrl+c . sudo dpkg --configure -a - Paste the command into the terminal window. The easiest way to do that is by leftclicking inside th...

Be aware, you're still going to have tell the installer how much space to allocate to Mint.

Are you sure? I seem to remember that if you tell it to 'install alongside', it will simply fill up the free space that it finds.

Gary, you can edit the text to be correct now that I've added the code tags to your output.

I see no disadvantage in switching the default firewall on. I've been doing it in all installations as a matter of routine. Maybe I'm missing something? Perhaps an actual LAN. I.e., rsyncing from one local machine to another needs with an enabled firewall someone cognizant of networking in the sens...

I see no disadvantage in switching the default firewall on. I've been doing it in all installations as a matter of routine. Maybe I'm missing something? On the other hand I see no advantage in installing clamAV and chkrootkit. I've never heard of any Linux user who had their rear end saved by one of...

I'm in the Vancouver, BC area. The British California is meant to elicit "Wut?" responses.

Didn't work. This is an international forum, not a US American one.
Welcome aboard!

First things first... Can you tell us your Mint version and desktop environment? It's pretty much impossible to answer this question (and many others) without that very minimal information.

I did some searching online and found an app called Gnome Schedule. It’s a graphical front end for cron. Unfortunately it’s not in the LMDE repositories.

Soooo this thread is about LMDE? I'll move it to the suitable forum section then. LMDE =/= main edition.

You're right, Apple is making this quite user unfriendly. But then, they don't want people to switch to Linux.

Good luck Ed, and welcome!

Amit_bhattacharyya, welcome to the forum; I've split your question off into a separate topic, because a new question deserves a new topic. Please keep that in mind. Thanks!

the automatic option. If you mean the " Erase disk and install Linux Mint " option, it will automatically erase everything on the disk. Now you're just pointing out the obvious. Yes, erasing things erases them. If the OP wants to keep the data, s/he has to select " Something else ". I selected it w...

Thanx that is good to know. In other words stay with the Software Manager to avoid those trappings...the reason I'm moving over to Mint in the first place. Not exactly. The Software Manager offers normal and Flatpak versions of some software. In other words, look closely which version you are insta...
