Linux Mint Forums

Update: Just found the issue, 'Help' item is ticked off in the menu editor, it's hidden. I don't know if installing Cinnamenu applet made the 'Help' disappear, or the default menu is hiding the 'Help' item by default, both are bad possibilities, it would be nice if someone that made a fresh install ...

Ssspace, I will repeat my questions, 2 of which you have not answered at all: "Have you tried the "Help" menus which are available in most graphical applications?" I guess the answer is no. You have not even tried in a single application, like e.g. in "System Monitor" or in "Synaptic Package Manage...

Hello, ssspace. Have you tried the "Help" menus which are available in most graphical applications, before posting your suggestion? Have you tried the "Help" menu item under [Menu] => Accessories, before posting your suggestion? Have you tried the man terminal command, before posting your suggestio...

If you have connection/wifi issues you won't be able to access documentation or any kind of help. The user should be able to get help offline too.

I booted LM 19, and wifi adapter(USB) was not working... but it's working, something about the USBs was not working because I connected a USB pendrive and nothing showed up on Nemo, it was not a problem with USBs because my mouse and keyboard were working. I rebooted with a Ubuntu ISO pendrive to ch...

This article says you can use a extension https://www.ghacks.net/2018/02/12/watch-netflix-in-1080p-on-linux-and-unsupported-browsers/ but I don't like this idea, I think extensions have full access to your webpages and some users are saying that it works for a while and then it doesn't work anymore....

To test the resolution on Netflix, open any video or series and press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D , it says x720 here, for Firefox and Chrome, so it's locked at 720p SD quality, I'm using LM 19.

I did some research and looks like it's impossible to watch video streaming services Netflix and Prime Video in Full HD 1080p using Linux, I think that they cap the video quality at 720p(SD), 4K doesn't work either from what I've been reading.

There's something going on, I'm seeing several users reporting high CPU usage lately:
- viewtopic.php?f=208&t=272367&p=1491071&hilit=cpu+high
- viewtopic.php?f=208&t=272734&hilit=cpu+high

I don't know, but if I were you I would create a backup, just copy and paste your files or the entire /home to a thumb drive or external drive, install Linux Mint 64 and copy and paste back again to /home.

Go to Firefox/other browser preferences, and check/uncheck hardware acceleration and other configurations there:

If you are into FPS games check Xonotic snap, it's a fast-paced FPS like Nexuiz.

As LM doesn't have snapd installed by default, open a terminal:

An alternative is to remove the "Minimum" and just leave the "Recommended" specs. When you use a software/game you want to know what you need to have a good experience, you don't want someone telling you "well, it runs but is slow, it takes 5 minutes to do that and it's very sluggish". To be honest,...

Still not working after the update, now the error is different:

I just used the "Contact us" and sent the link of this thread.

I think these numbers should be updated to be more realistic and prevent users from having a bad experience: - Minimum: 2 GB RAM - Recommended: 4 GB RAM I agree. Maybe you want to say that to the developers? They rarely use the forums. If you or someone could contact them that would be awesome, tha...

...in addition to what catweazel said, i'll just leave that here... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-specifications You tell me who is being ' absurd ' now... :wink: Yeah, that doesn't make any sense either. Ubuntu recommends 2 GB but later the text says 4 GB(https://help.ubuntu.c...

You recommend 2 GB RAM to comfortably use Linux Mint Cinnamon 19: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3597 System requirements: 1GB RAM (2GB recommended for a comfortable usage). Some data: My free -h command outputs (sum of used+shared memory): boot + terminal opened = 700 MB Firefox with 1 tab (Linux Mi...

WARNING: If you are a BEGINNER DON'T DO what any of these guides suggest. Mixing Desktop Environments is always a gigantic mess, trust me I've been there, you will waste more time trying to do this and fix things and remove packages than if you just installed Kubuntu or KDE neon distros. Only follo...

If you see videos reviews, blog posts and read the comments you will see that some users that don't like how Mint looks, I thought most people knew about this, looks like I was wrong, that's life. You made an unsupported claim, and you persist in refusing and neglecting to back it up, then you try ...
