I would love to dual boot, but I think that Winders 10 keeps breaking things, so I will have to stick with pure systems for now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a9DCjLMuMk I easily got this laptop dual booting with Windows 7, which it came with, and Mint. But when the Windows 7 EOL comes at the en...

My Lenovo L412 is a bit older than the T430 talked about here, but has been flawless with Linux Mint 19.1.

... I make from my state-of-the-art 2005 desktop. The temperamental beast is being retired and replace with a shiny. My first new Linux Mint install was on a similar machine...a blazing-fast-no-not-really Dell Dimension 8400. I even changed DEs to Xfce, because Cinnamon was feeling bogged down. It ...

Another example of the topic: Getting my Canon PIXMA TR7520 printer/scanner working to scan. Printing? No problem. It even picks up the printer on my home network and works with no issues. No configuration required. Scanning, however, is another story. The scanimage command (from the terminal no les...

The "can live with it" part of using the command line is that it allows others here to help fix your computer, easily.

Just copy-paste the commands in the forum post in question, and you really don't have to understand the underlying syntax. And you'll learn a lot along the way!

Thinkpad? Join the club! Nah, it's a ThinkCentre M83 desktop. Got it really cheap from a computer learning charity, and them already having Linux Mint on it pushed me over the buying line... I'll figure out the laptop later. And now, I have. A ThinkPad L412 laptop arrived today, and I'm using it no...

Taxes. ... The "fillable form" requires, yes, requires, Adobe Acrobat Reader to do the automatic calculations before printing out the finished form. It doesn't work within Chrome. I just tried it with Okular (after about 5 minutes fighting the "Captcha") & it didn't seem to work on that either, alt...

Taxes. In this case, my city tax return. Since I don't have an "electronic filing code" (not sure why I never got one, I've lived at the same address for five years), I have to use the city's "fillable PDF form"...in lieu of printing it out and hand writing my calculations. https://www.akronohio.gov...

Is this the TP link adapter that works with mint? https://www.ebay.com/itm/TP-Link-TL-WN722N-846561012744-Wireless-Adapter/192868833917?epid=141348245&hash=item2ce7e0da7d:g:ic4AAOSwE9hcYuiS That does appear to be the same one I'm using - all the way through my change to a new (to me) Lenovo desktop...

I am a newbie and wanted to know why none of you adviced to just change the DE from cinammon to xfce and why to clean install ? See above. Been there, did that, ran Xfce for a few months and was fine with it. This output in the last message is from a new computer I just got yesterday (see my signat...

Just got the new computer...here's the inxi -Fxz: System: Host: user-ThinkCentre-M83 Kernel: 4.15.0-45-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 7.3.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.0.9 Distro: Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa base: Ubuntu 18.04 bionic Machine: Type: Desktop System: LENOVO product: 10AM000VUS v: ThinkCent...

I got curious.

I'll figure out the laptop later.

I just bought a used computer, a Lenovo i5, that has Mint preinstalled. Though it's obviously not the "latest and greatest", it'll blow the doors off of this aging Dell that I am running Xfce on...

Oddly enough, I learned of this news (of the problem) a day after Update Manager had already updated APT.

When I saw that update, I thought it was odd that APT was being updated, but didn't know why until I saw the news articles.

@BG405: To install VICE on Linux Mint 19.1: 1) Use the software manager to install VICE (currently version 3.1) 2 )Download the source tarball http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/index.html#download and extract it to any folder (= [folder] below) Copy the ROM images from [folder] to application folder ...

Welcome, Jucker!!

The driver support page for the TR7520 actually comes up with some optional drivers (and software?) for Linux 64-bit: https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/inkjet-multifunction/tr-series-inkjet/pixma-tr7520-wireless-office-all-in-one-printer?tab=drivers_downloads...

For the record...

We just got a Canon Pixma TR7520 printer in the house.

I turned on the wireless part of the printer, and Linux Mint recognized it immediately as a Pixma TR7500 series on the network...and it works with no additional drivers needed.

If it matters, I'm on Linux Mint 19.1.

Can't do it, of course, since the desktop machine in question is still dead...but I will try it again if I manage to get it to boot again.
