I had to restore a Mint 18.3 XFCE installation on a laptop with an image made shortly after the initial installation. In the mean time an external screen has been connected and since restoring the image, it won't stay on when the laptop lid is closed. I went through the power and display settings ov...

Me also can't stand the stupid descriptions and many I have edited out. Other annoyances: the hijacking of Firefox default page and bookmarks. Really, I know I just booted Linux Mint and if I want to I can set it as homepage myself. Dozens of wallpapers. Sorry to all contributors but I use just one ...

Thank you gm10. I'll try to work out what it does through https://www.shellscript.sh

I searched for the same question as in the opening post. I already found that adding to the launcher made it open in fullscreen. But I have not yet found how to open in max windowed size. It is terribly annoying to have to resize the window over and over again.

If you're in unknown territory, the navigation helps you to get to your destination. That is what counts in that moment. Whenever possible, I try to look up routes upfront, and look for landmarks on Google Streetview. It is true the navigation often gives routes that are not the most logical. I ofte...

I know of PING but I have never used it and I don't know if it supports Ext filesystems.
Same for HDClone.

I had to fire up an old laptop running a perfectly legitimate and activated Vista. It hadn't been used for maybe over a year. Now suddenly it is unactivated, even displaying the watermark message on the desktop it is an illegal copy...

Legacy extensions for Waterfox, Pale Moon and similar have been collected and saved in the Classic Addons Archive.
If you install the Classic Addons Archive you can from there install many extensions in Waterfox.

I keep this on a small partition with similar downloads and AppImages. I am not skilled with making links, therefore I start them from the filemanager. Also with every new version of an AppImage, the previous link is useless.

Thanks for your reply. It is all very complicated to me but I try to comprehend it.

1st let me mention the problem is resolved because the current latest version 2.6.2 of Lossless Cut is an AppImage that does work. However I had/have a problem getting to run Lossless Cut 2.6.0 which I downloaded as a tar.bz2 and I just want to know why. Up to version 2.4.0 I could download a zip wh...

I always prepare partitions from a Linux bootstick using Gparted. If the entire disk is going to be used I make a new msdos partition table. Then a primary partition the size dedicated to Windows. This avoids Windows creating and installing extra partitions that just waste disk space and make things...

Thanks all for the replies.

Sorry for my late reply, I missed the notifications, was not well and too occupied.

I was looking at /var/log/samba/ and found there files for about every IP and every computer name in my network, going back to over one year. I don't want to keep that information on my system for ever and I want to move the /var/log/samba/ to the tmpfs ramdisk to have it disappear automagically and...

Consider it an early x-mas gift for the girl. I hope she is as delighted with her phone as with her generous daddy. I know a couple of people who got one of those. Several had really old Apple phones really worn out. People seem to do long with iPhones. One friend showed how the new phone can record...
