As for typing on a smartphone, that just doesn't cut it. Moem, my solution to this conundrum is to use a Logitech K380 ($50) wireless keyboard that is small enough to take anywhere. using a small keyboard would work for some, but not a solution' for those who have large hands or have problems typin...

Real productivity isn't possible on a cell phone. For that, you need the bigger screen of a desktop / laptop display.... This is real experience speaking, and for this reason I do not see the end for the personal computer coming soon, a decline yes, but not an end. I love my desktop, and tablet far...

Since I really like coffee; this post caught my eye, but some how the conversation trailed off to the subject of tea. So I was wondering if there is anyone out there who might have a similar weird reaction to tea that I experience. When I drink brewed black tea it leaves me feeling slightly ill, and...

Paypal CS said I can't pay directly but I can try by asking LM team e-mail address for their PP account and then send the donation directly to it. However I did my first ever bitcoin purchase this afternoon and I just sent the funds to LM. :D The fee was substantial though cca 10 percent of the don...

I have donated to LM team before and I wanted to do it again today however I can't, either through paypal or with my card. I get this message: https://www.udrop.com/plugins/imageviewer/site/direct.php?s=B7g&/Slika_zaslona_2020-09-06_23-47-20.png Help? It would be nice to donate but I would neve...

What OS/distro do you regard highest other than Mint? Or do you already have a main daily driver other than Mint? Just curious. I have two laptops. The newer one I use MX Linux XFCE : Ranks Highest and I use Linux Mint XFCE on the older. I am just getting familar with the XFCE Desktop in Mint recen...

Hello everyone, The following statement describes what I want: a smooth system that runs only Linux mint 19.3(no dual boot,nothing else,i.e. I want to get rid of Windows 10 I don't blame you for wanting to get rid of Windows 10. I made the break when the free upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 was being ...

Just asking the question here. Is there a particular reason you are going the torrent route as opposed to the http route? I had to do an integrity or authenticity check using the Mirror which seemed like a pain in the neck to me but I read somewhere that you would not need to do this using the torr...

Is this the warning that I should not be concerned about? Nope. :) As the web page reads, "Note: Unless you trusted this signature in the past, or a signature which trusted it, GPG should warn you that the signature is not trusted. This is expected and perfectly normal." So I''m good to g...

It is my understanding that if I use the torrent I will not need to do an integrity check of the IOS because they are checked as they are being uploaded. Is this correct? On your advise I went back to downloads and configured my USB Flash drive and booted into the new version of Linux mint and ever...

I was going through the process until it started to seed. What is seeding? and does all this seeding to other computers need to finish before I can use the IOS torrent showing in my downloads folder? I ask because I do not know how to tell when the torrents are completely finished and when it is sa...

I am trying to learn how to download Linux Mint using the torrent from the WEB site. I have not used a torrent before, and I am not familiar with how to use transmission. I was going through the process until it started to seed. What is seeding? and does all this seeding to other computers need to f...

Which Spice was the problem? These incompatibilities are sometimes very easily fixed. I determined that it was a desklet applet that showed my CPU and memory usage and disabled it, and in looking glass I found the error that my Linux Mint logo on the start menu was failing to Load. I right clicked ...

The normal solution to this problem is to open the Applets, Desklets, and Extensions system modules in turn and check for and apply updates for any Downloaded Spices - then restart Cinnamon with Ctrl-Alt-Esc. If the warning remains examine carefully the output of cat ~/.xsession-errors . The log in...

"Looking glass log" puzzled me the first time I saw a similar notification. It records errors in Spices which I think are applets. Use the search function in the menu to find it. I did and nothing turned up That should teach me to rely on memory. I should have suggested right click on Pan...

How would I check the ~/.xsession-errors log? For example less ~/.xsession-errors from a terminal would do. I.e., ~/.xsession-errors is just a text file, viewable with anything you care to view text files with. The name starting with a . means neither ls nor your file-manager shows it by default, b...

"Looking glass log" puzzled me the first time I saw a similar notification. It records errors in Spices which I think are applets. Use the search function in the menu to find it. I did and nothing turned up I went to desklets in settings and I had a desklet showing CPU loader and disabled...

I upgraded Linux mint 19 to Linux 19.3 Tricia. I received this Notification that reads Problem during cinnamon start-up. Cinnamon started successfully, but one or more applets,desk-lets, or extensions failed to load. Check your system log and the Cinnamon looking glass log for any issues. You can di...
