"In any case if you'll be using the trademarked product for commercial purposes.) So please contact Clement for permission at root@linuxmint.com." Again, I am not a lawyer and I have no idea of how things might be in the OP's jurisdiction but I would not ask for permission unless I was certain that...

He's obviously selling used machines, NOT an OEM, so I see no problem. Not obvious to me but, in any case, it is not relevant. The issue is the commercial sale of Linux Mint installed on computers and I do not think it makes much difference whether it goes with new or used hardware. There are 339 t...

For canon scanners you have to d/l and install scangearmp2 from canon website For what purpose? What does it do? If it just scans the subnetwork looking for devices it is not going to work because the device is on another subnetwork. That is the same XSANE does. XSANE already scans and finds the sc...

I was thinking about opening a website and sell some customizable PC and laptops and I want to use Linux mint as my primary operating system on those machines. Some considerations come to my mind: Opinions you get here are worth what you paid for them. Good advice, like bad advice, costs nothing an...

I thought I would contact the developers of SANE and suggest the possibility of manually supplying the IP address of the scanner instead of only allowing SANE to search the LAN but I cannot find a contact form or email address at http://www.sane-project.org/ Maybe someone with better ability can con...

I have been doing some thinking and experimenting. While the problem seems to happen most of the times when I start up the computer there are a few times when it doesn't. Then I thought this is probably a user account problem and not a system-wide problem so I probably would not need to keep re-star...

OK, I have made some progress in that I have identified the cause of the problem but not a solution to it. I should have thought of this earlier but it just did not occur to me. The main home LAN is 192.168.1.XXX and the printer/scanner is connected to that and has an IP address in that range. Sever...

In Firefox go to about:config

- Set media.autoplay.default to 1 to disable video autoplay for all sites, 0 to enable

- Set media.autoplay.allow-muted to false to disable video autoplay even for muted videos

For Simple Scan and Xsane it could be helpful to add the sane-ppa to get more recent sane versions: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade The sane-ppa is suggested among others on Ubuntu help for sane-troubleshooting: https://help.ubuntu.com/commun...

I have 2 identical units of this hardware, one running Windows and one Mint. The Windows one reports the Graphics card is an Intel Graphics 4600.

What does the line command inxi -G report in Linux? That should tell you what hardware and software is being used.

I am still working on this issue with no luck. I see other threads where Epson scanners have had problems and have been resolved. I am hoping I can get this scanner to work with Linux over the network.

Since nobody seems to be able to help in resolving the problem, maybe I can get help reporting it as a bug. How can I do this? The error message says I should report the following: ~ # xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev", "pc105", "us", "", "" _X...

Is there a way in linux to limit the time a person spends on the computer? Like maybe a program that automatically shuts the computer off after time is up? I'd hope it could be password protected, but curious to know if anyone out there knows a way. Who are you trying to control? Yourself or someon...

With a reasonably good connection you should have no problem using a remote desktop application. None whatsoever. My connection is never that good and I generally manage to use AnyDesk and video-conference simultaneously. If I notice things beginning to slow down I will switch from video conference ...

I am hoping someone can have some idea because this is becoming a royal PITA for me. I can only type in English and if I need to type in Spanish I need to go to my Windows computer... which pretty much means I do almost all my typing in Windows. I cannot imagine that a computer interface with a keyb...

My usage is not the subject of this thread. If you are interested in how people use their browsers you can open another thread in Open Chat. I do not believe it is relevant. I believe my usage is normal and, as I say, causes no problems in other computers and OS's. The fact is that Firefox is crashi...

5. I've noticed that my directories are sorted by name like this: "AAA", "!BBB", "CCC". How to sort them like this - "!BBB", "AAA", "CCC"? Interesting. I have been experimenting and see upper and lower case are ignored, like in Windows. Regarding the initial exclamation mark it seems it is ignored ...

Any remote desktop application is going to need a relatively good connection. There is no way of getting around that. My connections are often marginal and I find that both TeamViewer and AnyDesk are pretty good at "holding the line". A connection is more than just bandwidth. A slower connection wit...

Many icons can be found under home/user/icons and under usr/share/icons.

Also in the program's own folder.

If you try TeamViewer be ready to be blocked when you least expect it accused of "commercial use" and take two weeks to resolve it. And then the same thing again a month later.

I would start with Anydesk which seems to be lighter and work better for me.
