Downloaded the .deb from the BlueGriffon web site. Appeared to install correctly. No errors. Synaptic Package Manager says it is installed. Click on icon in menu and it looks like maybe something runs for a bit but no program window comes up and bluegriffon is not listed as a process. Using Mint 18....

thunar-archive-plugin is installed. My results same as MrEen. No "Create archive" item on context menu. BUT: I just though of something. I was trying to do this on a folder in a shared network folder on a Windows 10 machine. Just for the heck of it I tried right click on a local folder and I do get ...

p7Zip-Full is installed

In Windows I can right click,a folder and send to compressed folder. According to various on-line references I should be able to do the same in Thunar. But there is no such option in the context menu. Thunar-archive-plugin, Zip, pZip, etc are installed Mint 18.3 XFCE 64 bit

This is still a problem in MInt XFCE 18.x and 19.x. I think it is a problem with the NVIDIA C51 [GeForce 6150LE].

Apparently no one knows how to fix this problem??

I have a mix of Windows, Mint 18.3 XFCE and Mint 19 XFCE computers on my network. If I click on Browse Network in Thunar on any Mint 18.3 PC Thunar will list all the Windoze machines regardless of version (XP ...10), but none show up on any Mint 19 PC. This seems like a loss of functionality from 18...

Mint 19 XFCE Nothing listed in Thunar Network On two Mint 18.3 XFCE computers all my Windows network computersshow up in Thunar under Network and I can access them whether Windows XP or Windows 10. On Mint 19 XFCE 64 nothing shows up. I followed the steps in HowTo: Samba Browsing Problems Checklist ...

XFCE 18.x and 19 No mouse pointer upon resume from sleep Has happened on multiple PCs sometimes switching consoles Ctrl-Alt-F1 then F7 will get it back but this is a work-around and not something that should be necessary on 'the best' OS Just loaded Mint 19 XFCE 64 on a Dell E521 Athlon 64, GeForce ...

I had to add noapic to grub to resolve boot problems on a Dell Dimension C521. I have read a few comments that using noapic will disable multiple cores but I have not seen this in anything resembling 'official' documentation. In this instance the CPU is a single core Athlon 64 , not X2, but I'd like...

... M$ and the OEMs have "colluded" to put up roadblocks to the installation of Linux... Whether there is actual collusion or not, it seems like a pretty clear case of anti-competitive practices by a company (M$) which has about 90% share of the desktop operating system market. Maybe not a monopoly...

I have spent a lot of time reading the rodsbooks and other references. They give me lots of information about keys and efi shim files and stuff like that, which I think I basically understand, However nothing really tells me how to fix the problem. I now have encountered this problem on 2 additional...

Windows 10, especially the forced and basically uncontrollable and sometimes failed updates. Who wants to see a 'please wait' blue screen on a regular basis? Also 'obsolete' XP and Vista. I have converted many customers. Low spec XP PCs get Lubuntu, better ones get Mint XFCE. Started that way, but a...

I like Mint XFCE so I would probably use Xubuntu. From what I can see it's about the same with fewer included apps. One thing I think is superior about Xubuntu is how it handles UEFI/Secure Boot. I just spent a lot of time trying to get Mint XFCE to boot from the hard drive with Secure Boot enabled ...

Make a fake Microsoft EFI folder, which includes. ── Boot ... I have /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu Do I make another directory /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft and if so where do I get all the files you listed or are they just dummy blank files? The other thing is that I can not cd to efi. If I don't use sudo I get ...

M$'s Secure Boot still requires a certified bootloader to be first registered or loaded in UEFI-BIOS firmware through the Internet before the software/OS can be booted or installed successfully. This online registration or signing process can often be incomplete or interrupted or "sabotaged", eg gr...

I booted a new Dell Inspiron 15-3567 from a Mint 18.3 live USB. No problems with secure boot. I Installed Mint (replacing Windows not dual booting). But when the install completed and the system rebooted I got "SupportAssist is running a system scan to detect any potential hardware problems." The re...
