Hoy and Eureka!! Please disregard, I got this fixed! The problem was on the FOG side. I'm probably the only chap in here running FOG on LM but here's the fix in case anyone else encounters this issue: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11805/install-fog-1-5-2-on-ubuntu-18-04-checking-package-curl-f...

Hi all, Quick question about a problem I encountered yesterday on my FOG (www.fogproject.org) server running LM 19.1 I tried to search the forums for the answer but can't really determine if it's an issue on the OS side or on FOG. I did an upgrade from LM 18.3 to 19.1, it took a while but went prett...

Greetings papaneuf! I upgraded to LM 19.1 Tessa when it became available and the output of dnsmasq -v on my system displays: Dnsmasq version 2.79 Copyright (c) 2000-2018 Simon Kelley Compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt DBus i18n IDN DHCP DHCPv6 no-Lua TFTP conntrack ipset auth DNSSEC loop-detect i...

Hello, Hoping someone can tell me if this is possible using VMware Converter when the target is a VMware ESXi 5.5 host? I have a LM install that is only a couple versions back running on a HP Z400 desktop. I'd like to convert it to a VM using VMware Converter and have a VMware ESXi 5.5 host that I w...

Keith,

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm reading up on that project now.

Hello all, I've had an idea in the back of my mind for a while now that I'd like your valuable feedback on. If this has been suggested previously, my apologies, I did perform a brief search of the forums and didn't find any related posts. We all know donations are an important way to support the Lin...

Thank you catweazel! Then I'll just be happy to bide my time until that release is ripe for the picking!

Also, my apologies for not mentioning it at the beginning of my post, a very Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and everyone!

Greetings from the forest! I have a brief question concerning the version of dnsmasq that is included in Linux Mint: Will there be plans to include a more current version of dnsmasq in future releases? The current included version is 2.75, however according to http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/ ,...

Hi phd, Thanks I'll check out Jitsi and also qTox. I run Mint on a Dell Optiplex 755, it's older hardware but it's been very reliable hardware. When I upgraded to 18.2 I decided to try the new kernel and it's been running great. Now I just need to remove some of the previous kernels I still have ins...

Greetings and many thanks for your extensive/concise instructions! :D I think I'll start by trying just chat by selecting Goolge Talk, ..I wasn't sure about that selection and thanks for clearing that up! I usually don't do audio/video calls and if I did would probably do that via the Hangouts app o...

Hello friends, hope everyone is having a great summer! :) I have a question I hope someone can shed a little light on for me: I have friends in Google Hangouts but I would rather use something other than the Chrome extension. I read Pidgin can do this but it seems I need the correct libpurple plugin...

My apologies, I'm unable to keep silent any longer. I've been running Linux Mint for a few years now and I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I've found it to be the most capable, versatile, reliable and fun to use linux distro I've ever seen! It's been my primary OS at home but recently I've ...

While logged in today I couldn't put my finger on it but I felt strangely at home ..and now I know why. After all, green is my favorite color.

No plans here to switch styles, excellent work and thank you!

Joined and said Hi to the helpful folks there.

Thanks again MintBean, a happy weekend to you and everyone else here.

Thanks, on there now!

I booted into Win10 and noticed that the time/date settings were correct but I made that regedit change anyway. Rebooted into Mint, rebooted back into Win10..all good. Rebooted back into Mint, installed all available updates that displayed in the Update Manager and rebooted. Logged back into Mint an...

Thank you MintBean!

Doing all this now and yes I will enable the firewall.

I'll post back in a little bit with a status on how everything's looking.
