Linux Mint Forums

Hi, Starting from today (I had no problems prior to that), I've had the following problem : When I'm watching a video on Youtube, after about 2 minutes without touching my mouse, my whole screen goes dim - the luminosity decreases - as if the computer was ready to go into shutdown mode... but nothi...

At least on Cinnamon if you right click on app's menu entry and pick properties you can view the actual command that this menu entry uses for launching the app and add it to your custom shortcut.

......and the same applies to MATE Desktop Environment.

Enjoyed your video. Certainly shows those new to Linux that there's nothing to fear,Well done!

Although getting old is not fun, it is preferable to dying, isn't it? :D I'll be celebrating my 93rd birthday in another 7 months, and although my doctor tells me that the pump which is my heart is wearing out, I have too much to do to die for a few more years. Linux gave me an incentive to exercise...

If this is the wrong section for the subject, it will be appreciated if it could be transferred to where it should be, please. I hope to exercise my ancient brain during 2024 by venturing into FreeBSD - because it's different - but I have no idea if what I want to do is possible. Here is my current ...

Thank you to all the members who responded so promptly to my request for help, especially those who pointed out that Font Manager was in the repositories. I now have Font Manager safely installed. There are times when I feel that getting old holds few benefits. Then it hits me that the alternative i...

Using LM v21.2 with MATE in Lenovo T450s, My brain has turned to mush as I've forgotten the simple l process of installing a .zip, file. :-) In a previous query regarding fonts, there were many suggestions that installing Font Manager was a good way to manager fonts.. So I went to GitHub and downloa...

Did you realize that you deleted fonts-noto-color-emoji this way? Most users would like to have system-wide emoji support. Anyway, It is better to uninstall fonts via apt than manually delete system directories. Hi! I avoided that by saving the Noto fonts I thought I could need at some point and no...

Thank you. Did as you suggested and those pesky fonts have gone.

Using Linux Mint v21.2 MATE and LibreOffice v7.3.7.2 Thanks to Ptor's helpful hints, I always remove the Asian fonts installed by default, but it doesn't include the Noto fonts which remain in LibreOffice. It could be that they are installed by LibreOffice independently. As I will never use them I w...

There should be a couple of "English" fonts by default. Remove the clutter like this: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/clean-mint.html#ID8 (item 8 ) Hi! I have a similar problem in that after applying your suggestions, I still have all the foreign Noto fonts present. Is there a...

Attention billyswong Hi! Thank you for your very helpful suggestions. In the end, it turned out that the icon was hidden. When I initially installed Linux Mint on the T550 - it's my wife's computer - I must have sent my brain on holiday and for some unaccountable reason chose to hide it :oops: . The...

I have two Lenovo laptops: a Thinkpad T450s and a Thinkpad 550. Both are running Linux Mint v21.2 MATE On the T450s the Onboard keyboard Menu displays successfully and works perfectly On the T550 the Onboard keyboard icon does not appear in the Menu. A search of Synaptic show that the software onboa...

I use Ventoy frequently for various Live Linux operating systems, and it has never let me down.

Had cataracts removed from both eyes in 2019 at the age of 89. For the first time ever, I do not need glasses for driving, only for reading. After the operation I thought all my Christmases a]had come at once.

Hi,

Lady Fitzgerald

!

Unfortunately, the link you quote returns an error.

However, I have tried Sticky Notes and for some reason it doesn't sit comfortably with me. So, I'll stick with Diodon fo the present.

As a clipboard manager, Diodon is a joke. I tried it out because my old standby, which I had been very happy with, would no longer work properly when I installed Mint 21.1. :( Hi! Interested to learn which clipboard manager you use as your default. At present I use Diodon and really have no issues ...

A big welcome to your Dad TaterChip.I was the same age when I converted to Linux Mint in 2006, after using the Acorn RISC OS system for the previous 15 years.

I run a ThinkPad 450s and a Thinkpad T550 on LM v21.1 MATE with no problems.

You don't say which Desktop Environment you use. Here is how to do it in MATE. Open your Home folder Click on Edit and then on Preferences at the bottom of the window, which appears Click on Behavior Click on Single click to open items Close your Home Folder The procedure for Cinnamon and Xfce are p...
