Linux Mint Forums

Consider this topic a bug report. There's something wrong with these two versions of Mint but unfortunately IDK enough about linux to identify the cause of the problem. A large file - Taxi (1998).mkv with size 3.4 GB copied from HDD (WD Blue) to SSD (Corsair 120 LE): • Windows 7 - 1 minute 12 second...

Cinnamon is now it's own project because it's used by other distributions. Your comments might be seen by the devs on the Cinnamon github pages: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon We rarely get devs here as these are support forums. Thanks, cat, I didn't know that. I've always thought Cinnamon i...

In Cinnamon 3.8 and older versions the text in tray (such as calendar, kb layout) was resized according to the panel size which was a very convenient feature. In Cinnamon 4.x I noticed you have removed that feature and the text remains microscopic (12px or so) no matter what size the user has set fo...

If it were, wouldn't it be all over these forums? Not many users would take the time to report any errors. When seeing such an error most users would simply go back to the distro they know and that works for them, not bothering to report anything at all. If the problem were local, then pls explain ...

Be smart and do a clean installation of 19.1.

Good luck with that!

I decided to install 19.1 in order to see its progress in general, so I downloaded the 19.1 x64 Cinnamon edition from the Bulgarian NETIX mirror. Shortly after I entered the data for creating a user, I saw a message that there was an error with copying files to the storage device. The message also c...

Ha, that works! I didn't even know there was already a shortcut for it. Now all I have to do is to find it and set more convenient keys for it.

Thanks, rene.

I'm using an applet called "Restart Cinnamon" and when Cinnamon is ok, it's perfectly usable. However, sometimes Cinnamon freezes for unknown reasons and when that happens, I can't click that applet in order to restart the DE. So I looked for commands to restart Cinnamon in another way. I found this...

The desktop context menus are themed in gtk.css I had a quick look to see if I could work out the selector to theme the desktop context menu only leaving other gtk menus default for that theme, but without success. If I work it out I'll let you know. The reason I asked is because I managed to chang...

I use Pinta and KolourPaint4 like 10 times a day and since they adopted the theme I made (by editing an existing one), it's hard to find the tools I need on their interface. It was hard even before editing the theme. I've also disabled the function "use dark theme for apps when available" but these ...

I'm making a theme of my own and I changed the most of the elements I wanted - panel and menu background color, selected item background color, etc. in cinnamon.css. But I can't find the item/the line that will let me change the color of the menu which appears when right clicking on the desktop. Doe...

Something like this? That's a handy little tool.

Like this:

Using this instruction and considering CSS is still CSS as far as the CPU is concerned, I started looking for better solutions (cuz text shadow as shown above isn't really my style) and eventually found the perfect one! It even has its own generator of outlining code. And with some minor tweaking I ...

Thanks!

Is there any way I can make the text of desktop icons outlined like subtitles (see the screenshot)?
Mint 18.3 Cinnamon.

Does anyone know if the Cinnamon project has a website where one can contact (via forum or otherwise) the developers of this DE? I wanna suggest a thing or two for the new version and ask them a thing or two about the old version which I'm still using. But Ducking for "Cinnamon project" opened a per...

Ever since I started using Linux I figured out many other things, some of them even more complicated than a program update but there's still one I can't figure out how to do, namely - how to update Nemo . Synaptic indicates I have 3.6.4 and the latest Nemo version is 3.6.5. But the icon for the Nemo...

Earlier today I chose a 3rd level key in order to write a certain symbol and it did work for a few hours. But now when I use, it doesn't seem to be working. I even changed the key to a different one but it still won't work.
Any ideas?

Well, we got it. Hopefully now they're gonna fix the other thing.
