Linux Mint Forums

So the live system “is what it is”, and it doesn’t make sense to check (as I did back in 2018 before deciding to install Mint :oops: ) if a different (proprietary) graphics driver would run with my GPU (nouveau had a bad image of wasting energy at that time). I must have confused that with a differ...

You can open the "Software Sources" app, and there is a "Maintenance" tab with an option for Merge list problems.

But on the first page when you run that program is a button to reset to default settings.

Most likely with maintenance, there is a couple initial options that may be in order for you.

No, on the contrary, from my point of view it puts the horses before the carriage: When opening Driver Manager it means I want to check what’s going on. I could even select an other driver, but with “Apply Changes” the permissions would be required. This is how it should work - and in fact works in...

Regarding the thread: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1759275&sid=2e64c577ed3892c0cb41eb6d9a1b1cfb#p1759275 I’d like to know how to read / understand inxi, Driver Manager and “dmesg | grep nouveau” output. Where does it come from? @GrassWhooper’s inxi -Fxz reports (I guess booting from...

Yes. You did end the ${ image tag with ) instead of } (both of the lines). So the first portion of the first ${image does work, and then the config is broken after that point. See here: ${alignc}${image /etc/conky/weather_icons/01d.png -p 10,100) ${alignc}${image /etc/conky/moon-icons/09.png -p 10,5...

Code: Select all

upload-system-info

Hadn't heard of that one before. How long does the info stay on termbin.com?

Ah, it's been around for a number of years. We use it exclusively on IRC. Default paste lifetime is 1 month. The end result command is: inxi -Fxxxrzc0

check the 1st partition, that is the GPT boot partition for UEFI systems. run the live session, It needs to have a directory location(folders) of /boot/efi . check using the File Manager and create both of those directories if needed. If you do not see a listing for something like a "537MB Volume" t...

Oh! ok.

No, you'll have to install whatever you like for 19.3

Pull open the Software Manager and you can get into the games category, then in the board games sub category, but you need to look for a different spelling. ;) If you were just searching the software manager it would better to search for solitaire than for Ma jong Solitare, (that's actually spelled ...

Run the live session again, but unplug the internet, and/or disable wifi, before you start the installer, -this way you do an offline install. Otherwise get in the BIOS and turn off "secure boot", which might be required anyway, depending on your motherboard and bios. If you have any troubles gettin...

computer sellers are saying dual booting with W10 is not possible anymore, they are mistaken, or whatever. The information is wrong, technically. Maybe it is not possible to buy it like this pre-installed from them, but that's a different story than it just not being possible. We don't see why comp...

the computer sellers are saying something changed in the version xxxxx (I forgot the actual number) of Windows 10 a few years ago. No clue. Sounds like smoke and mirrors, or some misunderstanding somewhere along the way. Looking on these forums and IRC for years, daily, I've never seen or even hear...

You can run the terminal command: dmesg -and this will show you any of the errors you see pop up from during boot. Scroll though that list of items to find any relevant Errors, or Warnings, or other info. You could actually run a more discrete command to look at errors only, but I figure this is a g...

Yes, it is. Microsoft required Win10 OEM setups to include "secure boot" as mandatory, and this means the pc will recognize the Windows bootloader and give some security that a possible virus or malicious actor can not easily replace the bootloader. But the drawback is that in certain situations it ...

You can do it. Make an entire background image with alpha. on the left hand side you will create your shadow area, and anything toward the right will have whatever amount of transparency you want(like for example the sample pic has some amount of transparency there). And then adjust the config. Add ...

Hi JackRiddle201, Welcome.

Please show us the info from the following 2 terminal commands. Someone will be able to realize some good info about a solution:

double check man redshift , we may be using a different version. I think the conf file changed between versions. You can alternately setup a complex start command, instead of relying on the config at all, by adding the various params into a shortcut or whatever is needed for your start method. you c...

1. is this normal behaviour or is there an issue with the script? 2. Is it " update_interval = 1.0" that's doing this? 1. It's normal for conky. Some "scripts" or programs will do some action or return some data to the terminal, then they are done doing their job, and they end, and you come back to...

If you use compatibility mode, then it is using all of these kernel boot parameters, although all of them might not be relevant for the situation, at least it gives you enough of a generic boot to work. Instead of trying nomodeset, you can use all of these and it should boot as successfully as compa...
