Linux Mint Forums

I have a very limited income, it's fixed, but I've subscribed to Kindle Unlimited and also purchased or got for free, a number of Udemy classes. I find the books often have mistakes in them, which in a way, teaches you because you have to catch the writer's grammatical and instructional errors. One ...

My BIL codes in C++ for most of his living. He has been a reason for me to try to learn this. We were trying to think of projects because he says books and videos are fine and all, but actually trying to do real stuff is better. So I am hoping I can find sites with partial code or ideas for things t...

I'm reading coding books, not very far along yet, with python in Mint. Is there a forum for code snippets and practice stuff and help? I don't want to get too far OT here at the Mint Forum, but don't know where to start.

I tried follow a half dozen sites and using what knowledge I have so far, but I can't seem to get anaconda to load and run python 3.5 rather that 2.7. Both Anacondas are in my user directory and I modified .bashrc to look at the anaconda3 directory. Do I have to reboot? I get this error on the CL wu...

Ah, very good. May you be blessed by a thousand camels and 3 oasis.

Cinnamon on 19.0. A few days ago my system locked and I had to cold shutdownboot.

Somehow something has changed and it took a while to realize that change happened (update to 19 or what I don't know). When I shrink a windows my bar on the bottom doesn't show shrunk apps and/or browser windows etcetera and the only way to get to them or change them is with an alt-tab movement. Whe...

I want to design myself a couple business cards and submit them to a discount maker online once designed. I want to embed images, design logo, use various Fonts, and colors/patterns. I don't have any solid idea yet what I want. What software would you use in Linux to do this? Do I need to dive deep ...

FWIW, I was running 18.3 LM and proxima's top on the list of ones that might work, did work.

I am now running LM19 and will get around to seeing if I should change GE to any newer version. I know that if it ain't broke, as they say...

catweisel, what methods of backup do you recommend? How often? On what type of backup system? I have no budget, FWIW. So far, I've only used Aptik, but my installs aren't so important, my important files are on storage drives which themselves have duplicates of.

So up until now I had never tried to use timeshift. The upgrade to Tara procedure from 18.3 to 19 requests one use timeshift. I didn't realize that timeshift was using my existing boot and home ssd, the other physical drives are all formatted with NTFS so that I can use them cross OS wise and becaus...

After the removal of the timeshift files giving me back space, upgrade went perfectly. Now running 19.0 Tara. Took quite a while though, even on ssd.

It seems I didn't have spare drive space due to the timeshift stored files, so I've removed them, I used aptik to back up elsewhere anyways. downloading now.

I get an error: + Restoring your backed up APT sources... ------------------------------------------------ !! ERROR: Missing backup /home/wutsinterweb/Upgrade-Backup/APT/ !! Exiting. ------------------------------------------------ when running mintupgrade check. I DID run timeshift onto a thumb dri...

I'm still rocking a Sammy ML-2010 Laser Printer that is totally adequate for me and I wanted to find out, HOW to find out if it is supported by default in Mint 19.0 Cinnamon?

I cannot express my gratitude for all of you that make this happen nearly adequately. I will donate again as soon as I am able. What, you, Clem and everyone bring to the table with all of this is such a blessing. I will wait to upgrade/update once the instructions for going from 18.3 becomes availab...

I overlooked it because I forgot it wanted the password. Thank you for the help that fixed things once I realized.

[solved this, sort of, read ahead here] I was right to suspect that having the UEFI in my computer set to "Secure Boot" even with the install option of LM 19.0 enabled could have to do with my problem. When I had tried to install the VB DKMS part, it would ask for the Secure Boot Password, even when...

Possible important factor I've realized: When I installed LM 19.0 I manually partitioned and chose the option to allow OS to run with secure boot enabled. Now when I initially used the software manager to install Virtualbox it asked for my secure boot password, and I didn't have one so I entered my ...

Ok, I will do so and reinstall when post beta is out and do without VB for a while. Thank you for trying so hard and for your dedication.
