TV USB Tuner - Kaffeine Alternative?
I just got a new Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD USB tuner. https://hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_dualhd.html Great device. It was easy to set up on Linux Mint 20 using the Ubuntu PPA listed on their site. https://www.hauppauge.com/pages/support/support_linux.html?zoom_highlight=linux I didn't have to do...

Re: [SOLVED] 19.3 to 20 Upgrade - Great, But...Wondering About Glitches
I fixed all the problems. * The TPM error - all I had to do was go into the BIOS and turn on the security chip. * The other errors were caused by having a DVD in the DVD drive that I forgot was in there. Took out the DVD and rebooted...no more errors. * Removing and reinstalling Skype and Google Ear...

[SOLVED] 19.3 to 20 Upgrade - Great, But...Wondering About Glitches
I used the newly released official upgrade from 19.3 to 20 here: https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2485 The end result? It works great, with no visible side effects. But I'm wondering about two things...the first, this set of error messages during bootup: LM20Errors.jpg dmesg | grep erro...

Re: LM 20 Ulyana - beta, post here
I'm playing with/evaluating LM 20 MATE on a live USB. That recommendation on how to install Chromium on the "dummy package" is a horrible one. For one, it takes you to a place to install a ZIP file of the latest build. I don't want that. I want the latest stable Chromium in a nice little D...

Re: Screen Resolution randomly loads as 800x600 with no option to change. Desired resolution of Native 1920x1080
This may not be the answer, but...
I had this on my desktop computer once. It dropped to low resolution and nothing I could do would fix it.
Until I realized the monitor cable was not firmly connected. Once I reseated it, I was back to the monitor's highest resolution.
Worth a shot, no?

Re: Blue Yeti Snowball USB microphone is not recognized
I do have a Snowball that works with Linux Mint and on Ubuntu on two different computers and no configuration was needed...just plug and play in all cases. I'm sorry you're not able to get this solved, maybe it's manufacturing variances in the Snowball. I wish you much success finding a new micropho...

Re: [SOLVED] Canon Scanner Working - New Kernel Support (turns out to be AirScan instead)
Correct. sane-escl is an official SANE backend (driver) and will ship with Ubuntu 20.04. sane-airscan (the backend you and others are using) is just as competent and well-supported by its author. I recommend it on Mint 18.x and 19.x for modern devices because it is only a matter of downloading a .d...

Re: Canon Scanner Working - New Kernel Support
I just wanted to scream from the rooftops - IT WORKS! This has nothing to do with the kernel. The relevant magic is an addition to the SANE backends. Users of modern Brother, Canon, Epson and HP devices with Mint 19.x can avail themselves of a similar backend, sane-airscan. Installation instructions...

So, some of you have seen me post about my Canon TS3322 printer/scanner using Linux Mint. The printer has always worked, both wired/USB and wireless...but I've never successfully gotten the scanner to work. And that's after many attempts to install Canon's drivers, trying to figure out the whole XSa...

Here's the problem: I am a regular in at least two other forums that INSIST you find a previously posted thread, and if you start a new thread, they harass you and tell you that you SHOULD NOT start a new thread if a related thread can be found.

I'm struggling with getting my Canon TS3322 scanner working with Linux, and I've tried pretty much everything that is suggested: * Install the .deb drivers from the Canon website (both print and scan), which seemed to successfully install. * Get XSANE working. It apparently doesn't support my scanne...

Re: Chrome Freezing After Recent System Update
And I agree with that. It's fixed.
The problem on this desktop was indeed Timeshift running. It was very slow last night, and sure enough, the weekly Timeshift session was taking place at that same time.
