What is the username of your install.

You have /home/mint but this is normally what the live environment uses, unless your username is mint, then the command should be fine on the output side.

I am making a fuel tracking spreadsheet I want the data to sorted from latest filling to first filling but only after Fuel Price has been added then add a new row with all the required formulas or shift the data down. Columns Date, Trip Meter, L/100km, km/L, Total Price and $/km are auto filled by f...

Can you try entering this command into a terminal and trying to see if those fonts get detected?
fc-cache -rv

It will force update the font cache.

Thanks that fixed it.

I prefer a clean desktop, but with the icons layout that dates back to Win2000.

I am making some conky widgets, while most are done and have no real issues. The network one has an issue where the text for "speed" and "total" which I have put in ${alignc} tags shifts around. Is their way to ensure it is locked to the centre of the widget? network.conf.png Thi...

I'm a little confused how it happened myself; I'm really not knowledgeable about Linux, just using it because I didn't want to buy Windows for an old PC. I didn't note which version I used, I think it was the most current stable version of Mint in June 2021. My HP Compaq 7900 (Core 2 Duo) was runni...

My laptop started its life about 9 years ago as a Windows machine. The 24 GB drive, which is now sdb, is a small SSD, which was supposed to make the computer load more quickly. It didn't. I was not happy with its performance with Windows. I like the numeric keypad and the DVD drive. I wiped Windows...

In your order of questions: We cannot see, what is on sdb. Reformat it, if there is nothing to loose. The only question mark is about the small size. As a standing word says: Too few to live, too much to die. I think /dev/sdb is the USB flashdrive that is the installation media The 8GiB partition i...

Do you say, that Windows backup programs are command line driven or is this related to Linux? In the first case I would be more than surprised. My last days with Windows (XP) are 15 years back, but I remember, that I used a graphical backup program, which did not come from MS. After 15 years not us...

Why does "everyone" not make a backup? Many new users come from Windows and many of the backup utilities are command line driven. MS discontinued the Backup tool in windows 10. And some people just dont understand the dangers of not having a backup till its too late. I made my own script ...

Those other packages are packages that were also required by the programs you installed. For instance, you want to install steam-installer. steam-installer also needs about 2 dozen additional packages to install.| These wont be listed by the mint backuptool apt list --installed or dpkg --get-selecti...

Try running QEMU with Virt Manager for your VM needs.
Better performance, more features and better supported.

Do you get the grub boot menu at start up? If you do, make sure Linux Mint is highlighted and then press E to edit the settings. Find quiet splash and remove them and only them, then hit F10. This will get rid of the mint logo on bootup and you will just get a bunch of text scrolling upwards. This i...
