Re: Can't download torrent from site
We've had an issue related to that for users from Florida and Brazil, due to server changes. That was thought to have been fixed though. Can you please confirm you can visit the page https://torrents.linuxmint.com/ but if you click on one of the links there, you get that error now? For your conveni...

Re: C or Bash?
It really, really, really depends on what you are doing. bash is probably easier to use and quicker to get from pseudocode (concept) to actual working code, but it's certainly not always the best tool. Anecdotal case in point: I recently started working with csv-type data that has to be updated dail...

Re: Find the xfce4-panel that launched the script?
I think your method of grabbing mouse (x,y) and comparing it with the panel's dimensions given by wmctrl would indeed work; however, it may be simpler to use the window id returned with xdotool getmouselocation and compare it with wmctrl window id. # Get current mouse position out="$(xdotool getmous...

Re: Shell scripting help required
I think he's using su to run different parts of the script as different users (ortest and aptest); not as root. maybe make an ortest-commands script and an aptest-commands script, then this could call each individually something along the lines of su -c ortestscript.sh ortest su -c aptestscript.sh a...

Re: Duplicate monitors on multi-screen setup without mirroriing all?
the terminal program xrandr should do this (I haven't used it with more than 2 monitors so I won't swear to it)
first run xrandr with no arguments to get the output names
then run something like this, adjusting it for your system, xrandr --output HDMI-3 --same-as HDMI-1 --auto

Re: Mint 18.3 XFCE hangs on boot
If you want to keep at it... try a reinstall and when you first boot into the new install, run the sudo systemctl mask systemd-backlight@leds\:dell\:\:kbd_backlight.service command (since apparently you can't boot into your current install to run it)... Another thing to consider, have you tried (or ...

Still freeze. Although I get ACPI Error (CAPB) Namespace lookup failure and Method parse/execution failed etc. Does that holds any clue? It froze on the "upstart" option? Or did that part work, and the normal boot still freezes? You can try editing your grub line when you boot: (hold shift down if ...

Re: Questions about encrypting home/full disk?
1) If I encrypt the home folder, how could I access it if my laptop ever explodes and the only thing that survives is the hard drive (and me). I'd obviously go in using another OS, but since it's encrypted, how would I decrypt to access files, whether I use Linux or Win? 2) what if I update/reinsta...
