I needed this; much appreciated.

OK, thanks, found it!

Just to be clear, this "Input Method" you speak of was found in the "Control Center"; it's not some software package I go searching for (in "Software Manager"):

Hello, I'm an LMDE5 user myself (longtime Linux user, but have no Chinese language skill), and a Chinese friend - new to Linux - has a Lenovo G50-45 laptop. 8GB of RAM. This friend will want to input both English, and Simplified Chinese characters. That Lenovo is 4-5 years old, with an AMD A6 CPU - ...

Absolutely nothing happens. No error messages, no dialog boxes, etc. The Firefox action seems to be ignored in LMDE5. Even if Firefox is launched from a console to watch for error messages on the console - nope. Nothing happens. BTW: if anyone wants to test this out in an easy way, just install the ...

Hello, I'm using LMDE 5. I have an SFTP server, (as in, the subsystem of SSH, not FTP-over-TLS). I can connect to that SFTP server graphically just fine using Nemo's "File" Menu -> Connect to Server -> Type -> SSH. And similarly, I can also connect to the same SFTP server (same user accoun...

Hello. In the past I used MX Linux 21. One of the neat tweaks they did (that I wish I could have back again in LMDE5) was that once you used sudo in one terminal, providing your correct password (and succeeding), then magically, all the other terminals inherited the "easement" of needing t...

I patiently read all the chapters pertaining to the basics of using git in the "Git Pro" eBook here . I've been using git just on the command line for about 2 years (for version-controlling and publishing a jekyll website of mine). So that's why I could pick up git-cola quickly just now. G...

I've got the basics to work (adding/staging a file, committing, and pushing).

So yeah, awesome recommendation on git-cola.

Thanks so much! The quick replies are awesome here.
I'm checking out git-cola now...

Hello. I’m not referring to web-based git frontends here, such as github, or gitlabs. I’m talking about when you have a local git repository, and you just want a simple gui for git (stand-alone, integrated into an IDE, a text editor, or maybe even a file browser such as nemo ), which can minimally d...

- 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....

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 ...

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...
