Linux Mint Forums

I have an absolutely terrifying problem that appears from time to time: The computer does not start but goes into something called: Sleep mode. I have dual-boot as I am forced to use an OS called: Windows 10 (due to the fact that some programs that I cannot cope with can only be run in windows and &...

To hard for me to understand .

What should I do ?

Just ignore it ????

When I press : REDOWNLOAD so I get this error message ! Could not retrieve all repository indexes The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted due to network issues. An older version of the index will be used if available. If not, the repository will be ignored. Check your net...

How can I make a program start automatically every time
I start Linux Mint MATE ? For example, if I have a music player
program with a song list that I want to start automatically every time I start Mint MATE ?

I am trying to switch to CINNAMON but there are several things that I need to be able to use such as e.g. screencapture and the existing one by deafalut in MATE is not available in Cinnamon, so I thought of using SCROT instead, but then there are no :keyboard shortcuts in cinnamon. is it meant to ma...

I'm probably incredibly stupid because I don't understand the point of giving "answers" that lead nowhere. I have a problem here and got a TIP from someone on this forum that you could choose between Cinnamon and Mate at the login and therefore I followed this advice and made it so that I ...

But please someone - why would I turn off the preview?
THAT is one of the advantages of the file manager so that I know what I am doing
Finesses and advantages of running Linux mint compared to e.g. windows

To: by all41 » Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:50 pm It just still seems the mix of MATE and Cinnamon is the issue. I have them both installed in different partitions and never had any problems running either. I would never mix desktop environments due to file manager differences. So , what you are saying is th...

It keeps "stalling" all the time.

Can I switch to Nemo instead ?

MATE 1.26.0
Kärna Linux 6.2.0-39-generic x86_64
Utgåva Linux Mint 21 Vanessa 64-bitar

Nothing of the kind !

All these problems with a freezing Marco / Caja
was present BEFORE the introduction of Cinnamon
into the system .

And why should even some smart person SUGGEST me to do that
if it should not work ?

Yes, there were strange answers to relevant questions as usual with a touch of bumptious attityd but then let me tell you that in MATE I have Caja 1.26.0 as a file manager but in Cinnamon it is apparently NEMO 5.4.3 and it works flawlessly and quickly while Caja hangs / freezes and I wonder: is ther...

It happened again ! Suddenly I heard the sound of a snap and all went BLACK ! The computer was still running but nothing on the screen and I had to restart. After many restart attempts I got the picture back on the screen . This is the third or fourth time this happens over a timespan of a couple of...

I bought a new monitor because I do a lot of work photography and I have seen that on the screens that those who can afford it to stick with APPLE's products, the individual pixels are not visible ( or for that matter: the subpixels !) so the image shown becomes instead of the way we've had it now f...

When I operate under Linux Mint, the CPU fan is silent. It whispers. It doesn't bother. I have temperature measurement software that shows that the temperatures are within safe ranges and only at high temporary load does the speed increase and the fan hiss, howl, whistle, howl, beep, blow, hiss, whi...

Did not work.
It just opened xnview and then nothing.

Maybe there is some other viewer for linux mint that can do it ?

Anyone ?

OK .

How do I make the .sh file is marked as executable in the file properties?

There is no answer to my problem in that documentation !

I want to do the slideshow recursively , starting from the top and
going through ALL subdirectories.

I dont get it !

I made this :
but it did not work - nothing happened.

One thing I really miss but actually had during the dark period under windows but which i can't find now under linux: A program that can "record" keystrokes and save as a so-called "macro" so I then with a simple key-combination can get it recreate and get it "played back&qu...

How to set and where to set so that a program opens MINIMIZED, i.e. that the program is started and run but you don't have to see it, so to speak? Example: I have a music player program that I often - but not always - wants to be played in the background my favorite tunes that are put in a list and ...
