Linux Mint Forums

if, you just happen into a local store, the Panda series WiFi USB adapters are supported by Mint. I have the PAU06 2.4g version and it works just fine. I am currently trying to get my new BrosTrend 5g USB WiFi working, ( same chipset ) and used the steps above as recommended, and it worked once........

I saw another thread about the same chipset recommending this page: Try this: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c ... k.html#ID5 (item 5) I followed that, and it works, BUT, I noted that it is building the drivers inside /home and that means when a new kernel is installed, it won't work anymore....

Because that is usually a function of the BIOS. on my laptop, clicking the Caplock key puts up a screen overlay, and it has nothing to do with the OS installed. it was that way on Win8.1 and now on any version of Linux that I install. even if I am running VirtualBox, the overlay pops up The same goe...

Thanks. I should point out that finding my post wasn't easy, as I had to dig around trying to find it. It would be good if there was a link to your posts if you get a Notification. Found this post via Quick Links, anyway. You can set up Notifications in your User Profile Manager. go to the upper ri...

Life got in the way, and the loss of Internet access too. https://pastebin.com/6HS5H2Ez $ cat wireless-info.txt | nc termbin.com 9999 https://termbin.com/4603 I need to mention that the 2.4g ViaSat connection is the internal MediaTek WiFi adapter. The 5g WiFi BrosTrend is residing on a 3.0 USB Hub w...

Oh,
I have a Timeshift snapshot, but it did not fix the video settings

that 960 caused me to have to scroll everything sideways

don't know why it won't go back to 1366 dpi, but it took 1360 and figured "close enough"

Note to self:

when someone needs help, go to VirtualBox and play with that instead.

for whatever reason,

the Developers decided to let me check on ' Auto Arrange ' again, and it reverted back to ' Align to Grid '

??

why was the Option Align to Grid greyed out then?

it is fixed, but I want to know why??

I was helping a friend by showing him around the controls on Mint..... and duh, I changed my personal laptop to 960 dpi instead of the normal 1366 dpi and then, showed him how to Auto Arrange........... and I hate that mode now, I can't get it to go back to 'Align to Grid', that control is now greye...

Just bought a new BrosTrend WiFi 5g WiFi adapter, that uses the RTL8812AU chip. Driver Manager recognized it, and installed the appropriate DKMS driver. However, it is not showing up as an active device. https://i.imgur.com/4xJkUqo.png $ inxi -Fzxd System: Host: john-TP500LA Kernel: 4.15.0-43-generi...

After reading through all of that,

an Android tablet is easier to do, er uh, get ...

Until then one way to try is... ... install the snap version, or the PPA version. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:morphis/anbox-support sudo apt-get update Bringing an old post back to the Top..... my daughter just asked me how to run Android Apps on Linux, I just ran the above code, but don't find any...

Well, I've just made a backup with Clonezilla so I think I'll give Cinnamon a try but should I use the Ubuntu or the Debian version? Been playing around a little on Virtualbox and the Ubuntu version lets me add ppa to customize icons/themes and add software but the Debian is supposed to be rock sol...

I wanted fast and easy to use Desktop that included all of the features that I am accustomed from the Windows world.... e.g., IMO, Menu key + E should always open up the File Manager, and it does in Win and 18.3 Cinnamon Likewise, most of the kybd shortcuts from Win are replicated in Cinnamon. it ju...

My SSD laptop is maybe 10°F warmer than ambient, can barely feel any warmth from it on my lap.

dunno what the cpu temp is

I'm sold! anyways, I put off a good number of system and network upgrades end of this year in order to capitalize on SSD prices this past season and all 1TB (was best price per GB, compared to 500GB and 2TB for sure), ended my shopping spree with 3x Samsung 860 EVO, 1 WD Blue, 1 Crucial mx500 for 3...

It seems that spinning storage shipments are down approx 15% recently. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/01/10/disk_drive_unit_ships_down/ I have been using a Samsung 500gB SSD and not even trying in the least to worry about how many things I store, then delete..... I just don't even think about it...

I remember a post just very recently about CPU throttling, and when I read this just now on Google News, it made me wonder if that person, or other folks have this model Dell laptop? https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-15-9570-issues-still-cause-of-concern-for-owners.393156.0.html . The issues th...

Have you tried 18.3 Cinnamon or other 18.3 DE ?

18.3 Cinnamon here, don't use xReader, but Document viewer shows old documents previously read.

and every other reader also does for me.
LibreOffice, etc....
MasterPDF editor,
etc.
