- Vidcutter 6.0 worked poorly for me. It didn't make the cuts where I very specifically asked it to. The end result had the cut done, but was several seconds out, and didn't even remove the portion I tried to exclude . Terrible! :( - LosslessCut (3.0.1) wouldn't even launch whatsoever. The AppImage ...

In My ASUS Gaming mATX Tuf Mobo BIOS, I had to go into:
Advanced -> CPU Configuration -> SVM Mode, change from Disabled to Enable.

Solved for me!

BTW: I installed the "Oracle VM Virtualbox Extension Pack" 6.0.12 as well, then restarted the computer, and that didn't help either.

I've got this problem myself. I've got an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, which is definately 64-bit. In the BIOS settings, there are no options for enabling or disabling VT-x and AMD-V. cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep -E "vmx|svm" ...indeed shows "svm" is there. I've installed Linux Mint MATE 19.2 AMD64, then virtua...

Your directions to install ffmpeg-4 worked like a charm. Much appreciated! I just tested youtube-dl out, and it works again.

My ffmpeg is still version 3.4.4-0ubuntu0.18.04.1. The FFmpeg site currently has directions for installing the latest version in Debian and Ubuntu, but not Linux Mint. I'm guessing I should follow their directions with respect to Ubuntu 18.04? But FFmpeg lists no directions specific to Ubuntu 18.04 ...

Please cover Nextcloud integration with Linux Mint

Note Preferences -> Online Accounts -> Nextcloud.

Thanks! I never noticed that before.

Please cover Nextcloud integration with Linux Mint, especially as a possible alternative to Samba (but out in the cloud, with SSL-encryption). Here you can currently get a free Nextcloud account, to try out on a Beta basis: https://operationtulip.com/ Here's how to mount an SSL-encrypted WebDAV shar...

Microsoft no longer a top Linux kernel contributor

Thanks for the highly civilized, constructive post, free of any Ad Hominem attacks.

Who cares what Microsoft does? We have something better. :mrgreen: Microsoft can and regularly does make our lives hell (though various breakages in compatibility), so I think we need to care at least that much. For example, Microsoft invented UEFI, then aggressively pushed all motherboard manufact...

Microsoft has made several gestures of goodwill towards the Linux community recently. They would like for us all to forget their past of loathing Linux, and fighting Linux tooth and nail pretty much to keep it off PCs. What would YOU like to see Microsoft do, in order for them to prove that their ne...

This is very good post and an excellent point. Linux needs to heed this warning. Thanks! I personally feel that Nextcloud is the answer. I just installed a new Nextcloud 14 server, and it only took me two days (installing from a snap, on a rented $5 US/month VPS server with only 1GB of RAM, which i...

I too am a fan of "one OS per hard drive". I never dual-boot with Windows any longer, it's just too much of a risk of problems down the road. I have one Linux Mint 19 install taking up my laptop's entire SSD. I also have Ubuntu Mate 18.04 installed on a good-quality USB stick (Sandisk Ultra Flair 64...

The reason why Linux works well on laptops and desktops is because the AMD64 architecture (and other related chips commonly found in PC's) are far more consistent and well-supported across all the PC vendors. The ARM world is way different. It's a nightmare for Linux (ignoring Android here) to gain ...

Check your phone settings - the USB configuration may well be hidden in Developer Settings. Which in turn you may need to enable. Go to About Phone is settings and repeatedly tap on Build Number (7 times). You want MTP to be the protocol. I turned on the developer mode, and in Settings -> Developer...

I had some trouble the first time I tried that on my desktop - the solution was simple, but not obvious to me. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=273364#p1497606 I appreciate your tip, and I tried to do it, but Samsung has got Android locked down really badly on this el-cheapo phone....

That's unfortunate. It works for me; it also works for my mother I've got a Samsung J1 Mini Prime Android 6 phone. I just snapped a photo with it, plugged the phone into the USB port of my Linux Mint 19.1 laptop, and unfortunately, neither Nemo nor Shotwell recognizes the phone, nor let's me downlo...

My father ditched Linux when the photos he took on his Android phone couldn't be easily downloaded to his Linux Mint Laptop, after he plugged it into the laptop with a USB cable . All his non-Linux-using friends and family had no trouble doing that seemingly simple task. I would say the biggest sho...

Redhat 4.2. It was the year 1997 or 1998. I first installed it on my 1st generation Pentium 75MHz, with 8MB RAM.
