Using Linux Mint v19.0 Mate and TesseractGUI v2.8 In the past I have never had an issue with using TesseractGUI for OCR but am having problems with my current setup. I can launch TesseractGUI, select an image and open it and immediately it appears in the panel on the right of the window. But clickin...

I originally posted this query on an android mailing list but have had no replies. So, I seek help from the gurus on this Forum, please? Some time ago a friend gave me her Samsung S4, upgraded to Android "Lollipop". It is unlocked, inasmuch as the previous owner used it on the Spark (Telecom NZ) net...

At the moment I am a happy geriatric and thank altair and AndyHM who responded to my initial post. You're not the only geriatric around here :) ...and long may we be around :D But don't understand why your usb drive was mounting into /boot/efi or what your raid error message was. All my mint instal...

Because I could not resolve the problem of "frozen" unbootable computer returning an error that dmraid45 module could not be found, I did a completely new install and then sat back and did some thinking, to try and isolate the error and, at the same time, figure out, how to successfully mount my USB...

Thank you AndyMH for spotting the error I missed in fstab. I subsequently amended it but still couldn't boot the computer into LMDE-3. Just got the same dmraid45 module error.
In desperation, I did a complete reinstall. See the following post.

Thank you for your prompt response altair Curiously, on boot, I did not get an error message but when i went to the terminal and typed sudo mount I did. I did some investigating and found that the USB-HDD was mounted at /boot/efi. So I amended fstab to read # USB-HDD was on /boot/efi on install UUID...

Thank you for your prompt reply and explanation. It is very much appreciated.

I'll report on whether I succeed in achieving what I want, in due course.

Using LMDE-3 Cinnamon My computer has two HDD in addition to the SSD on which is installed LM19 Mate, which is my primary OS and LMDE-3 which I am using as a learning platform. One of the HDD is the original 500GB which was the main drive before I fitted the SSD. This has been formatted as a Data dr...

Using LMDE-3 Cinnamon My main OS is LMv19.0 Mate but I am using LMDE-3 as a learning platform (mainly because Cinnamon so beautifu l! :lol: I've been using Mate since it was first released and love the ability to configure it so easily and now have it looking how I want. So I want a similar look in ...

Using v19.0 Mate currently. But I have used the following method on all my new installations. I always do a new install for updated versions of LM. To retain my config files, I copy the following hidden files to an external hard drive .gemini (my email client), .gramps, .local (which contains severa...

Hello Jørn Rudolph

I also use Linux Mint v19.0 Mate, with Palemoon as my preferred web browser.

You will find Palemoon in the Package Manager (Synaptic).

I think he means Father in-law.

Using LinuxMint v19.0 Mate. My email client of choice is MessengerPro which is a available for RiscOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux. The Linux version is downloaded as a .deb file and is easily installed using gDebi. I have been using this program and its predecessor since 1985, without any problems. How...

As far as the video card goes, did you look at the documentation ? No, I hadn't read the documentation. My bad :oops: However, see below. As far as apt-daily.service, according to this site the service shouldn't be run at boot and should be run some time later. Check the first answer for a workarou...

Thank you thx-1138 , richyrich and greerd for your prompt replies. thx-1138 39 secs on kernel is...very excessive even on the slowest hardware i can think of - ...you're not by any chance on kernel 4.15.0-24?

Using LMv19.0 Mate Was previously using v18.3 Mate and boot times were only seconds. Now boot time is over a minute. I realise that other members have even slower boot times but I would like to know the reason for the change, and I have followed xenopeek's suggesting and used the systemd analyse com...

+1 for Osmo. Been using it since I discovered Linux Mint at v3.0 Cassandra.
