Linux Mint Forums

I was warned there is a learning curve with Linux, but Linux Mint 19 has been much easier than I thought and I am now using Linux daily and I am very comfortable with it, though I am sure there is more to learn. My partner is older than you and was "dropped" on to Linux Mint last year when Windows ...

However all is not lost, the garden shed or the local shed where innovation and creativity lives on. What about knocking up one of these to fill in the day? https://vimeo.com/157743578 On the other hand, just have a drink and forget about it... Music Is the Food of Soul, or maybe its a good drink......

Which is why I stated that they were interesting. Nowhere did I insinuate that they were practical. Exactly but there seemed to be some replies that indicated a "lets hide under the bed" response. Wouldn't it be easier to leave something under a person's door mat monitoring the WiFi? Or does someth...

Nope the whole thrust is that the attacker can access the computer remotely via WIFI if the compromised cable is attached via USB. So you buy the cable and take it home - somewhere. Your WiFi link just covers your house. A person now needs to know you have one, Needs to know where you live. Needs t...

From the article it gives the impression they need to be "holding" the computer, actually be sitting in front of it as it mentions using the keyboard and mouse. "allowing them to download and launch malware," Doesn't Linux always insist on a password? "remove devices from Wi-Fi networks, and even re...

How do i pdf a file? I am using LibreOffice. I thought i would just be able to "save as" and then select pdf. Cant see pdf as an option though. LibreOffice for Write document, Calc spreadsheet, Presentation (PowerPoint) and Draw, all use "Export as PDF" for a PDF. GIMP - "Export as" for a PDF. Usin...

I always thought that Drop Bears were uniquely Australian, too. Most definitely, as that YouTube says, "Vicious drop bear attack in South Australia." Hang on, South Australia? That's just up your street isn't it? I'd be careful if I were you, about going out your front door. Our only vicious thing ...

As always, Google to the rescue. The first link shows we NZers (in the North or South Island) should stay away from those foreigners living in the West Island. The second link leads one to wonder and the third link? Well.... Drop Bear Scientific name: Thylarctos plummetus Drop Bear Attack Caught on ...

I thought drop-bears were an Australian species. I did have a deer nearly knock me off my bicycle when cycling through California years ago. As for road kill, dead possums are common here but I can't stand the taste of rubber so leave where they lie. When I mentioned to a ranger in Australia that fi...

The organisation for the elderly who want to know more is SeniorNet. Based in Fort Myers, Florida, there are learning centers across the United States, including Indian Reservations with international affiliations in Nepal, Netherlands, South Korea, China, UK, Sweden and New Zealand. I'm involved wi...

And he stopped at the red light as he should, especially with a cop behind him.

I look to the side of the laptop and move that little switch from the off to the on position. Two year old grandson had been busy with his fingers :) I mentioned this on another thread about WiFi not working as I'd also had the same problem a week ago. We got back from a weekend away where it worke...

No WiFi? I've just had the same problem with a Toshiba Tecra M10. We got back from a short holiday where WiFi worked well and then nothing worked at home. As laptops were available (our Shed had 8 donated to it) I swapped disks and the other machine worked with the "faulty" machine's disk - not soft...

Downloading a YouTube - If I want a YouTube (this might not be the best way for Android) I go to it, check it is the one I want and then put ss in front of youtube in the address bar e.g. www.ssyoutube.com/xxxxx This brings up another screen and it either down loads the video or it plays the video ...

I use the Terminal for lots of things such as admin tasks but also stuff like youtube-dl to grab the likes of The Sky at Night from iPlayer. Oh! If I want a YouTube I go to it, check it is the one I want and then put ss in front of youtube in the address bar e.g. www.ssyoutube.com/xxxxx This brings...

steve44 "I am a little concerned about the effect of not being able to master Linux, is having on people." and j2ee "For non-IT person, spend time to learn Linux may not worth it." They have made these statements with absolutely no explanations why other than steve44's printer install. It is now 10 ...

I agree. There are three types of Linux users in my view: - the very basic point-and-click users. They don't tend to get in trouble. Not a problem. Exactly. Every month last year (and at times before that) I'd have to do a major "repair" to my partner's Windows 10 computer until last October when W...

I remember i went into a music shop one day a few years back and was looking around all puzzled and one of the staff approached me and asked if i need help as they could probably see my confused look or something. I asked where all the records were. I got a very strange look and was told, "we haven...
