Thank you for your ideas but I don't understand. What does "Fast Startup in Windows" have to do with Linux/Mint networking/wi-fi ?

Secure Boot is already turned off.

Still a mystery !!

Not sure whether to post this in "Cinnamon" or "Networking"... please move topic if it's in the wrong place --- Tnx I'm running Windows/Mint(Cinnamon-20) as a dual-boot system. The machine is an older Dell i7 Laptop/Notebook which I use (at home) with a Dell dock & monitor. T...

Too many "Foster's" ??

or, perhaps, not enough

I have the exact same question for both XFCE and Cinnamon - but I hope I don't have to post it twice (once in each forum). I run 6+ PC's almost all the time. I use a KVM-switch (sometimes several chained together) for ease of managing multiple machines. A trick I learned long ago in the Windows Univ...

THANK YOU

MANY, MANY THANKS for all the comments and good info !! I think my next project will be to try simply running some of the KDE apps I like in the XFCE playground. (I have tried/tested Cinnamon, Mate, and XFCE multiple times but struggled with all of them). I'm going to leave this topic UN-closed for ...

I have been reading comments to one of my tech questions and one of the experts has referred to "Qt". I decided to research this and try to understand what he is/was referring to. One of my searches pointed me to this website: https://www.educba.com/linux-qt/ In the SECOND paragraph (How D...

I have been running an older version of Mint/KDE for many years but have recently installed a new Mint(XFCE) system, then added KDE on top, then removed XFCE (per documentation). This essentially gives me an "updated/current" Mint/KDE. Now my issue is finding as many as I can of the progra...

@t42 - Thank you for your information. I visited your "TrueCrypt" link (above) and here's what I think I understand... Regardless of whether there is a TrueCrypt volume in the unallocated space OR NOT, one must have the password in order to mount the volume. If one has the password then it...

I'm not sure whether to post this question in this forum or a "hardware" forum so if a mod wants to move this topic that's find with me. I have some "unallocated" space on an old disk drive, but I'm suspicious that it might contain an old "TrueCrypt" volume. I've tried ...

The exact collection I was looking for is in ...linuxmint-rafaela - which I found from your first link (above). If I missed it the first time I apologize. In any case I'm really getting back to where I'd like to be: Mint/KDE with some very nice and familiar backgrounds.

MANY THANKS !!!

@smurphos - Thank you for your reply and suggestion. I visited your link and checked quite a few of the files/folders but it seems like all that I saw was "after the logon" themes/backgrounds. What I am looking for is the gallery of pictures that automatically flip past on the logon screen...

Many THANKS to Xenopeek for excellent instructions for implementing KDE on current Mint distro. I have my new Mint/KDE system installed and working. I would like to find and re-use (if possible) a couple of the pictures that made up the gallery/choices for the old KDE login screen. I see these pict...

I'm startled to discover that replies to this old thread are still coming in.

I moved on long ago - but THANK YOU for your efforts and information !!!!

Thank you for those comments !! I have to say I'm curious about why there is so much negativity (I'm still basically a newbie with Linux and I don't know these things). I missed the years-and-years of Linux learning (especially Command-line) so I'd like to find a good way ( using a GUI ) to edit Gr...

I downloaded Qgrubeditor from SourceForge today. Before I install it I'm looking for any comments or feedback from the members here.

TIA

Hold down Shift and then click the blank spot in the vertical scrolling area. I'm pretty sure there is a way to reverse these actions - so you hold down Shift to do massive scrolling immediately, but I could not find that setting. Bingo !! This produced the exact behavior (or behaviour) I was looki...

I already had this selected. Thank you for your assistance !!

Great catch...That fixed the problem !!!
I had already verified that all my other settings selected US English - but that pick you documented specified UK English.

THANKS !!
