Linux Mint Forums

I had installed Google Translate for Firefox not too long ago. It started spiking my RAM and causing the Cinnamon desktop to freeze, except for the mouse.

You never know what some of these add ons will do.

You should be able to remove in the Update Manager, Software sources, PPAs section.

You are right Karl, it's gedit with Mint 17. This is for Cinnamon for both 17 and 19. A new tab opens when choosing File --> New (or Open) in the gedit window. Which is great. A new gedit window opens when double-clicking, or right-clicking to open a file when using Nemo. I believe the goal is to ha...

If this problem just started recently, perhaps it has something to do with the 4.15.0-46 kernel.

There's a 4.15.0-47 kernel available. I noticed the 46 kernel wasn't the latest available for very long, so perhaps it had some issues addressed with 47.

Go back to 45 if 47 doesn't correct it?

Thanks Flemur.

I didn't want to apply that if it meant opening a new Xed window, instead of a new tab, while using the New / Open function inside an already established Xed window.

Hello, bradrar. xed --new-window will open a new xed application window instead of a new tab in an already started xed instance. Example: xed --new-window ~/.bashrc xed --new-window ~/.bash_history will launch two instances of xed. One will display ~/.bashrc. One will display ~/.bash_history. In ca...

Using Gparted maybe caused lossing data ??

You could lose data. Back up everything you feel is important.

I have about 400gb free size in my Hard . Can i increase root partition more than 30gb ? My mistake is i assigned a few size for my root and home partition in installation step . If is need , i increase new partition ? Using a live install usb or dvd, you can use GParted to change a partition size....

Yes, if your root partition is under 40 GB then it's best to save Timeshift snapshots to a larger partition. You could also save the snapshots to external USB flash drive, or an external hard disk drive.

Another option is to not save so many snapshots. For most people, once a week is fine.

Obviously you have 32-bit systen?

Code: Select all

inxi -S

If yes, Opera can be installed the next way, but it can break your system.

Didn't know he had 32 bit system. My instructions won't work then.

Edit: This Opera install is for 64 bit system only. check to see if Opera is installed from Terminal: opera --version If a version is listed, then remove it to start all over. sudo dpkg –remove opera-stable This will install Opera and add it to your repository. Click the SELECT ALL to copy each comm...

1) I've tried Midori already and also Falkon without any major improvement. Does Pale Moon run on mint? I ask since Mint doesn't seem to be an option at this link https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:stevenpusser&package=palemoon Are there install instructions anywhere? So far i...

Try out Slimjet, Midori and Pale Moon browsers. They normally use less resources.

Looks like a green hat takeover?

Edit: adding screenshot:

It's not a security problem. Probably need to find better update mirrors.

In the Update Manager, click on Edit and then Software sources.

Check your Main and Base for the fastest mirrors available.

Excellent!!! Thanks Kevin. Easy when you know what to do!

It seemed like a better solution than downloading a bunch of unnecessary software. Besides, I've seen some people in the forum complain about Unetbootin

If you're using the Cinnamon desktop, you can right-click the iso for Lubuntu and choose Make bootable USB stick
