Linux Mint Forums

Great read! I was turning into a Linux Snob, and liked Arch because of the tweakability. Unfortunately, that also brings instability. After my 5th crash, my Manager said, "Get something that WORKS, or go back to Windows. I remembered good old Mickey-Mouse unwashed user Mint. Haven't been told to "lo...

Hmm i have zero in the /var/crash folder? Thatnks! I've had a couple issues since the last update as well, but they flash so fast I can't read them. I did have something in my crash folder, but I knew what it was, just totally forgot about that folder. Now we'll see if the other issue persists.

Apparently, it's not Mint that's the problem. HP does not support Linux for this all-in-one: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-laserjet-pro-mfp-m25-m27-series/9365411/model/9365415/document/c03785459/ "HP Products - My Operating System Is Not Listed If you do not see the version of your operat...

Hello, aurex12. The trouble usually arises, because a lot of users do not understand that there are 2 mutually exclusive ways of getting their HP MFP devices to function properly on Linux Mint (Ubuntu based): + either you complete the partially preinstalled HP software from the Ubuntu repos only + ...

Very interesting take.

Not sure what was used to write the operating "environment" for these, but when I was working in aerospace everything was written using ADA, albeit that was in the 80's.

Believe me, after more than 12 hours, this was NOT what I wanted to see! Needless to say, at 3:50AM, I am NOT a Happy Camper! I like your stubbornness! 3lzyt9.jpg BWAHAHA! Indeed! That's how I got into the computer field in the first lace! I managed to finally get it done: I installed a basic Mint ...

Well, "Sharon" is kinda cute, but does anyone have an idea of how to make the installer recognize the partition as EXT4 and not ETX2?

Needless to say, at 3:50AM, I am NOT a Happy Camper! I would have just performed a clean install. Twenty minutes total and then your done. Here's the deal: I had a Manjaro install that I "locked" in place, because everything was working pretty much the way I wanted. When I tried to add a couple of ...

a non-journalized EXT4 partition That's interesting: why is it non-journalized? Doesn't care about his data all that much and thought FAT was the best file system ever and is still bummed it cannot be used for a home folder? :twisted: Needless to say, at 3:50AM, I am NOT a Happy Camper! Maybe this ...

Needless to say, at 3:50AM, I am NOT a Happy Camper! Maybe this will cheer you up... I made it just for you. arch.forums.jpg While I was installing upgrades to 17.3 I poked around here and got a real kick out of this one! :lol: Really...when I finally gave up at 4:45 AM I laid down and thought, "If...

I spent TWELVE HOURS trying to load Mint 19, 19.1 or 19.2 on to a munged Manjaro installation And you never bothered to ask a question? Well, about that time I had torn what little of my hair I had left out by the roots, and when I tried to post a bug issue on the blog it wouldn't let me do so. OK:...

I tried to post an error to the blog. It told me I was unauthorized! I spent TWELVE HOURS trying to load Mint 19, 19.1 or 19.2 on to a munged Manjaro installation It would NOT recognize a non-journalized EXT4 partition (/home) as EXT4. Kept insisting it was EXT2. When I tried to flag it as EXT2, it ...

BTW, next time you play it, do this:

Click on Tools, then click "Codec information".

Have you updated VLC recently?

I'm having no issues with it, but since I have an nVidia card I loaded all the nVidia codecs as well.

You can get the latest VLC codecs from their website, but that wouldn't really explain the "Run Once" issue.

I wasn't paying attention. I do that now. Depending on your login manager, there is a down pointing caret, or a "gear" on the login window. You click that and select your choice of WMs. In KDE, on my system, it was in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. It said "Plasma", but when you click it ...

I really miss that "feature" from Mandrake where you could load different window managers and find one you liked. Back in the day, I think I spent more time in KDE than in anything else. KDE was always too "heavy" for me. It looked good, but with a lot of overhead. I settled on Gnome2 a long time a...

The Directories mentioned were the ONLY ones move to the SSD?

Did you copy and paste, or did you use some other method to move them?

Have you tried looking on the SSD with Show Hidden Files set to see if there's something that was moved by accident?

And, did you label the SSD as Home?

Understood, I started Linux 1999-2000 with Mandrake 7 which was great, although it had NO real driver support, but it was fun to use. And you could load up lots of different window managers to try out.

Same here. Got it in the back of a book at Staples.
