Hello, I'm using the WireGuard applet to start/stop WireGuard connections and that still works fine with Mint 21.3. But now since upgrading to 21.3 the network manager also has WireGuard connections, but it doesn't handle them correctly: Every time I start a WireGuard connection it's added to the li...

Just open the menu, go with the mouse to border, the cursor changes and can just resize the menu like a window

I think I solved the problem: It's a new feature where the update wasn't implemented correctly: The size is now adjustable, you can resize the menu with the mouse at the borders.
Unfortunately with the update the default got very small instead of keeping the old size.

I've got the same problem, Menu is much smaller, more scrollbars, text is cut off, the separator between the category and the application lists is moving whenever I hover over an application with a longer title. Something has gone wrong here with the Update.
How to get the old menu back?

Thanks fixed that problem!

I installed vapoursynth from source, pip alone doesn't work. Vapoursynth is mostly C++, but it uses Python as s script language. I think pip only installs the Python part. Older versions (those that use PyQT5) of vs-preview work fine for me, but newer doesn't. Unfortunately audio support was added a...

It's vs-preview
There is no appimage etc. It would probably be also impossible, as it depends vapoursynth, which itself has a ton of plugins that build against countless libraries. You couldn't update a single plug-in.

Hello,
I would like to run a Python application that requires pyqt6. Installing pyqt6 with pip doesn't work. Unfortunately it was first included in Ubuntu 22.10. Are there any backports or any other ways to run a pyqt6 application on Linux Mint?
Best regards

Or a regular mouse and an electric toothbrush... A bluetooth-controlled toothbrush... Sometimes I access my PC via SSH (after using Wake-on-LAN), but it will go back sleep after 10 minutes. Sometimes this is what should happen (I just copy some small file), sometimes not, I start a computation, cop...

There is a subtle difference: With killall nosleep I terminate the process, which means at least after a reboot it will go back to sleep like normal if that's not done (nothing changed permanently). Also this should be possible without root access. I also don't necessary mean a computer crash, but m...

I don't want enabling/disabling something, just blocking. Otherwise in case of a crash etc. it won't get enabled again

As mentioned, systemd-inhibit <command> (although I don't know if on your setup this keeps "the screensaver" active). man systemd-inhibit for more info. Two problems: Doesn't work from SSH: Failed to inhibit: Access denied . Same user on desktop terminal no access problem Doesn't work at ...

I'm on Cinnamon and found a similar applet, but it's not exactly what I want:

• I want to prevent stand-by not screensaver (screen should turn off)
• I also want something that works from the console

Any ideas?

Hello, my PC is going into stand-by after 10 minutes, like it's supposed to do. Unfortunately it does so no matter what, even when downloading a large file or doing some computation. The simple trick is to just start a video/audio, that will prevent stand-by, but is quite inconvenient (you have to t...

Yes, the only difference is the setting. It can be reproduced directly, just turn it on and you'll get the three default columns only. This also means you cannot set unset -> change -> set, because not only the code that stores the custom columns checks that option, also the one that reads it. That'...

Had a look at the source code and found the problem, there is a bug (feature???) in Nemo that prevents it from using that setting: I have the option "ignore-view-metadata" turned on, because I do not want Nemo to use/remember any folder-specific settings. If you have a look at src/nemo-lis...

gsettings returns what I expected (because I set this using dconf-editor: Unfortunately Nemo completly ignores that. Nemo is version 5.6.3

Ok, I just tried another device: It will remember the setting and store it in /org/nemo/search/search-visible-columns
Why does my system doesn't do that? It was a clean install of Mint 21 (updated to 21.1). The other system is a clean install of 21.1. Some bug in updating 21 to 21.1?

The entry /org/nemo/ list-view /search-visible-columns doesn't exist for me. It seems that dconf-editor also doesn't allow me to create new entries. I'm not to sure, but I also think that Nemo did remember that in the past or maybe the default was different (it never annoyed me until recently that s...

Thanks for that tip, but it didn't work (I would like to have it exactly like you): Even after restart it's still only the three default columns. I checked dconf-editor again, it shows the string exactly as you wrote at it as current value. I checked if Nemo reports any errors to stderr regarding to...
