With the Android, I can connect to the FritzBox VPN without ptoblem, and the connection is stable. With Linux I'm NON ABLE to connect. I have followed the official guide, in...

I have no experience with systemback but I have a question. Why are you using it instead of the already installed Timeshift to back up the system and BackInTime to back up your personal data and settings? They both do a fantastic job for me and are quick. Because I need to make an installable .ISO ...

Hi everyone I'm using the latest version of SYSTEMBACK 2019 made by the Italian https://francoconidi.it for linux MINT 19.1 MATE 64bit. To avoid errors in "live" at startup and for a correct installation on Bios EFI and GPT disks I had to do: (as for the old official Systemback versions, w...

OK! Thanks Sir, Whit ONLY MY compiled FFMPEG+libfdk_aac I obtain: linux@Mint19:~$ whereis ffmpeg ffmpeg: /home/linux/bin/ffmpeg linux@Mint19:~$ which -a ffmpeg /home/linux/bin/ffmpeg And if I ADD the FFMPEG from repos with "sudo apt-get insyall ffmpeg" I obtain all the FFMPEG installed: li...

Thanks Sir, but this will not work, bacause FFMPEG is not able to use external application. FFMPEG need that the libfdk-aac is "included", as some external PPA did for the Mint 17.* version I have always used! For Mint19 / Bionic 18.04 I'm not able to find the same PPA with libfdk-aac alre...

Now can I ask you a question of my own? Why is it that you feel you need to have the newest versions of everything? For the KERNEL is simple... to have for all the LTS time .. and more! the patch! For ImageMagick: the VERY OLD (some years) version has big problems, with some options for me very imp...

Dear All, My post would like to be a constructive critic! I don’t understand why, on a LONG time support distro (UBUNTU/Mint), is not implemented the LTS KERNEL, and important utility as FFMPEG, ImageMagick, bluetooth, libreoffice,ffmulticonverter, are not officially up-to date to the latest stable ...
