Linux Mint Forums

Than k you all - the add applet to the toolbar worked, and I had to choose the nearest big city, but that's fine. Also CTRL-F2 did nothing at all. So - problem solved.

No one? *sigh*

Before the last sets of updates into 19.3 I used to have a nice little weather dohhicky



Now, even though I have checked the show weather and temperature options in the date/time preferences, they no longer show up. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Ah, thank you - I thought the issue was the same, as I searched the forum for this "gap" problem, and thought I found it here. Sorry about the desktop difference. That said, when I clicked as you suggested, the separator bar moved,l but the blank space didn't nor did the network icon. but when I cli...

I also have a weird gap in the panel between the network connected icon and the weather applet, etc. and a set of 3 vertical black dots between the date/time applet and flux, display_settings, audio_control. How do I get rid of the gap and the dots?

With M$ squawking about the end of win7 (which I keep around for games), I have to look at "upgrading" the win7 partition to win10, and (of course) hopefully without messing up grub or my linux partition (both on the same SSD), nor messing up the win7 installed programs. If I use the "upgrade assist...

That helps, tremendously. Thanks. Has anyone tried to use the same profile in a dual boot system? If I point my win7 TB to the same profile as my Mint TB, will it get confused?

Yes it starts, runs, but is completely naive, knowing nothing about the old email accounts, etc. Thanks. To move it into a folder that all users can access via a desktop launcher, I would have to stuff it into usr/bin rather than any specific username, right? Can I simply delete what is in the exist...

Well I cannot find where my version 60 is installed in the file system. so I don't know how to replace/update it. So please help - what do I do with this new version folder? The windows side of my dual boot was much easier.

The software packager shows only version 60, but the Mozilla site has version 68 as a tar.bz2 file. Unpacking it shows a Thunderbird folder, but no readme and no instructions on how to install it. Help?

Tried this - no effect. The steam window (updating steam) pops up, then nothing. Process list doesn't show steam either.

Changed the kernel to 5.0. Steam still won't start. No further ideas?

4.15.0-54-generic is Mint's current default kernel and not anything you'd need Ukuu for. It is perfectly up to date

Oh thank you! That tells me what I need to do I'll call this solved

How about you use a supported kernel instead of installing super-outdated testing kernels via ukuu? Those kernels you are installing went end-of-life a year ago. Because using a 5 series kernel borks my system while 4.15.0-54-generic at least lets it run OK? [/quote]PS: But to actually answer your ...

Can't find a log, but the first line of the 3 lines of error start with "namespace lookup failure" -

Booting with grub into mint 19.1 I was using an older kernal (4.15.0-47-generic), and tried to update to the new 4.5 series kernal with ukuu. That resulted in a very unhappy system, with jerky mouse lagging reactions to command inputs, etc. So I tried to revert to the latest of the 4.15 series (4.15...

OK - as follows, although I read that ntfs disks always show root as owner, and don't allow you to change this. Am I just barking up the wrong tree? sudo parted -l [sudo] password for ets: Model: ATA ADATA SP550 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 240GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: ...

I'm running kernal 4.15. I tried updating to kernal 5.1.16 via ukuu, and my system became essentially unusable - jerky mouse, second screen gone. So still no fix. And the newer kernals bork my system. And Steam still won't run. grrrr.......

Wow - that is a lot to digest :) The drive in question is formatted NTFS, and has 2 partitions (D & E). My fstab (as noted above) has a bunch of entries that don't seem to correspond to anything physical. Physically, I have 3 SATA drives: the first is the boot drive partitioned in half, with one hal...
