I am curious about these two lines
why is it insisting that the LogiTech mouse is still being used?
it is broken, am using a wired mouse.

as for the mouse not being active, it has remained that way for the last couple days no matter what I do to get the problem fixed. Once unplugged and plugged back in, it seems to be working fine. I can leave the laptop alone for a few hours, and it is still working. here is dmsg oops: going to have ...

I have been wondering about all of those repeated command line entries, in my way of thinking, the last one was the only one that was effective? anyway, I researched each command to see what it did, and found out there some that weren't related to my particular laptop, as it has Intel cpu. so, here ...

I am trying to get a video editor to work, and it is in Flatpak,
and it will not install and run.

Bad idea IMO.

I never have these type problems with *.deb files, they just install and work.

added that to my Notebook. but, had to drop the %U from the command line, that forces it to save to a filename of "%U" just deleting that from the end of the line, leaves it with a highlight "unknown document" as the name, and I can simply start typing and it takes the new typed name, which is exac...

The previous methods only worked for the Current Session. upon reboot, the mouse locked up again ( USB suspended ) Just to note that the usbcore.autosuspend=-1 kernel parameter (set in /etc/default/grub, don't forget to run sudo update-grub afterwards) disables this permanently. Okay, I am back to ...

I tried LM19 and it is so fraught with problems, that I took it off my laptop, and replaced it with LMDE3-Cindy. wow, what a difference that was. Total smoothness everywhere Recognized my WiFi card when LM 18.3 Cinnamon does not The bad USB AutoSuspend problem on LM 18.3 is non-existent Everything I...

I don't think there is, but you can just edit the launcher and change the command line to this: sh -c "cd /home/user/Desktop; xed %U" (adjust the path to point to your desktop) Okay, I added that to Custom Keyboard Shortcuts and it does indeed make it default to my desktop. thanks for that hint. ad...

I can tell you that sometimes a bad link in Firefox consumes 100% of the cpu and does indeed "hog the gui" to the point you can't do anything at all.

I have to use ^Q to exit FF and wait until the cpu finally gets to where it can recognize the 'exit' command.

about a year ago, I thought I had got this fixed, but somewhere along the way, an update? something, reverted the Default path back to /home and that is just not acceptable at all. I need it to be the Desktop so that I can get immediate access to the file I save, edit it, put it where it belongs, or...

1st thing you have to do, is scale the image to 120 x 120,

or have the largest dimension be 120 pixels.

GIMP is fast at that.

The cloning went well. Is there a guide to restore the clone?

Belay this question,

after an update was applied, the option to turn it off is now present.

the typical Touchpad options that normally allow you to turn OFF the touchpad, are non-existent in this verison.

so how do I go about turn off the damn touch-pad?
it gets in the way moving the mouse cursor while I am typing, or otherwise just laying my hands on the laptop case.

very aggravating.

For me, the issue resolved by itself. I'm in luck this time.

I can only wish it would quit this crap.
I am going to start a campaign to try and find a release that does not have this problem.

Windows 7 to windows 7 works. Mint to windows 7 doesn't work. I installed Samba but still doesn't work. it will work, if you get all the parameters right this is from Mint 18.3 Cinnamon to my Win7 PC I can copy/paste files back and forth from Linux. Never bothered to do it the reverse way, have no ...

the CUPS that was installed was trying to use the old settings.

you fixed the confusion by removing it, and reinstalling it.

My ISP sent out a new modem to replace the bad one we had. Oh great, now all of the local network devices are down :( the one that gave me the most trouble, is the Epson Multi-Function printer. the software refused to work with it, as my desktop's WiFi is broken, and the install software is Windoze....

don't see why not, just try it and see.

can't hurt anything.

I use it all the time.
