In xfce4-terminal, the cursor arrow keys type control codes such as ^[[A instead of performing the left right up down (previous command, etc.) functions. They work fine in other program such as text editor or libreoffice. How to fix? Also the prompt is just $ instead of the usual. The only thing I d...

Anyone have success installing this printer? I don't see it listed in the HPLIP database. Any work-around?

Thanks. Tried info/drivers at Linuxant. No easy solution. Might be possible to with a lot of work.Definitely would be a 'learning experience." Probably not with the time. Been so long since I have had to deal with a modem I kind of forgot the hardware modem/winmodem issues. I have some old hard...

Trying to use Efax with Efax-GTK GUI. can not figure out what the serial device (modem) is. Have read other threads on this subject. No luck and/or not applicable. I have a "dial-up" modem in my old Dell E521 The actual hardware is listed by lspci: 04:09.0 Communication controller: Conexan...

Even though this is an old thread addressing resolution issues, I am posting an information update for anyone else who might have problems with this graphics adapter. I wish I could say I found a solution but I have not. I recently tried the latest nVidia 304 driver. It did not work. I have read all...

What does journalctl -u cron and systemctl status cron show? I put this problem aside for a while. In the meantime I updated the kernel from 4.13.0-43.48~16.04.1 to 4.13.0-45.50~16.04.1. So today I looked at the output of those two commands and it looked like cron was running and there were no obvi...

Thing is, installing a simple backup program from the repository, it should just work. Say what you will about WIndoze but the built-in Backup and File History functions are easy to configure and work out of the box. Results of env. Definitely beyond my knowledge.

Nope. Only used crontab -e.

I deleted the entry for the luckybackup job.

Left Still doesn't run.

I installed LuckyBackup. To test it I created a couple of directories with a few files and configured the program to bck them up to a flash drive. When I ran the backup manually it worked fine. Then I changed some of the directory content and ran it again. My changes were reflected on the backup dri...

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...

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].

suggestions?

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...
