[SOLVED] Pop OS dual boot messed by bootloader setup
I hope this is the right area to post as my issue is with booting, GRUB, etc. I'm still quite new to Linux so please bear with me. I'm running Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon. Everything was working great until I wanted to test Pop OS in a dual boot. I repartitioned my HD and installed Pop OS in the new pa...

Re: Dual boot on two drives - file transfer?
How do you move files? I was surprised and pleased when I found that I could move files (.doc, .jpg, .pdf, .m4a etc.), from Windows XP on one drive to Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2 on the other drive, by using cut and paste in a Cinnamon Mint file manager. I somehow thought that I would not be able to d...

Re: Script to automate website access and conference call recording
So, you do all the opening the web page and logging in and such with actiona, and only use Bash to start actiona? I had never heard of actiona before, I'll have to check it out. Yes. It's great. Does everything automatically with no user input. Easy to modify and adapt. For example, I am using Viva...

Re: Hi
Hi ladnor. Welcome to the Linux Mint Forums and Linux Mint.
I'm a longtime Windows user also who got tired of it all and finally switched to Linux. I love it.
Which forums are you looking to get a registration code for?

Re: Virtual Box shared folders
Like with Samba/NFS mounts, the underlying format of a shared VirtualBox folder does not apply. A VB guest could not care less what the host's filesystems are. Interesting. Are you saying that installing Win10 in a VB allows Windows to access Linux ext4 files? I've never tried it. I just assumed Wi...

Re: New, wants to learn and help build this thing
When you get some free time I would encourage you to check the linuxcommand.org web site. It is a reasonable site for learning the command line and understanding bash. Also, the site has a free "The Linux Command Line, A Book By William Shotts" pdf book. For a free formal Linux introducti...

Re: Timeshift and flatpaks
In a quest to reduce the size of the system snapshots with timeshift I can reduce it quite a bit by excluding /var/lib/flatpak/. My question is when a restore is done will excluding this cause any problems? Not an expert here but I'm going to assume that if you installed any flatpak packages then t...

I had the same issue. I don't know which version of Mint you're using but here's what I did for my Mint 19.1 Cinnamon: Right click the panel and choose Panel Settings. In the second box (labelled "Customize"), you'll see a slider to adjust the panel height and three settings for the left, ...

Re: 19.2 Cinnamon Red Border on Welcome Window
Sorry I can't help you but it's good to know that I'm not the only one with this problem.
I'm running 19.1 Cinnamon and the red border started appearing after I installed a new theme. However, it doesn't appear every time.
I'm very interested to see if someone has an answer here.

Re: Task scheduler/manager
What exactly do you want to do with crontab? I tried to use it to automate some tasks and was quite frustrated. My tasks were simple: Open a website, log in, open OBS Studio to automatically record a seminar for 2 hours. I created a script to do just that but couldn't get it to run automatically at ...

Well I finally got this solved.

However, calling the script directly loaded Actiona and required in...

I use KeePassXC, and it will do "autotype." I checked the man page to see if it had any functions you could call from the command line, but it doesn't mention any. However, if KeePassXC can do autotype, you should be able to download the source code and see how they do it. Which password ...
