Linux Mint Forums

Today I'm listening to The Cure, starting with Three Imaginary Boys (and will probably stop at Disintegration). Yesterday it was a mix of Thrice, Rival Schools, The Fall, Beastie Boys, random house music, and Little Richard.

Does the ctrl key work, in a terminal? Where ctrl c aborts any command?

Good question. I'll ask.

There may be some problem with the ap? Though the chances of this are very negligible.

I ran the same app (SketchUp web/free) and it worked fine with both Chrome and Firefox.

Any ideas why a browser-based app wouldn't detect that the Ctrl key is or has been pressed? The Ctrl key acts as a modifier when copying objects, but it's not working on this person's Mint 19.0 system. Works fine on my 19.1 setup, so I'm wondering if it's a key-mapping conflict.

That's a deficiency in your Desktop theme in that the search entry box doesn't expand for scaled fonts. You can change this in your Themes GUI accessible from the menu. The stock Cinnamon theme suffers the issue. The stock alternatives Linux-Mint, Mint-Y and Mint-X should be OK. Thanks. Switching t...

Has anyone noticed text getting clipped on the application menu? Any character with a descender (q,y,p) looks like it's cut off. Screenshot (text is q u i p): Screenshot from 2019-02-15 18-48-43.png I have large text enabled in Accessibility > Visual and my system info is as follows: Kernel: 4.15.0-...

My two cents on LM and printers: My Epson WF-2450 works better on Linux Mint (19.1) than it ever did on Windows 10. On Mint I get all the maintenance/status messages whereas I never did on Windows. Mint isn't my first Linux distro, either, I spent a year on Ubuntu (16.x and 18.x) and I find Mint to ...

Just FYI, running SketchUp (standalone client app) on a VM is not officially supported. As other folks have pointed out, though, it usually runs just fine.

I had a similar problem and here's how I fixed it. If you haven't already installed Pulse Audio Volume Control (PAVC), do so. After you install PAVC, install the Bluetooth module using this command: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth Pair your BT headphones or speaker. Launch Spotify (...

Check out SketchUp. There's a browser-based version, and a Windows desktop app that can be run in a VM.

WharfRat's suggestion fixed the problem.

Thank you!

I don't use that app, but it probably has elevated privileges to access a filesystem owned by root.

Mount the partition to /mnt and sudo chown $USER:$USER /mnt then try to copy a file to it.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I've got an external (USB) HD and am having trouble with write access/permissions. I can run Timeshift and save to the ext HD, but when I try to backup my /home directory using Backup Tool, I get the You don't not have permission to write in the selected director y error. The disk I'm trying to writ...

[Maybe it is, but the size of the image depends on the used space on the partition, it can be quite small (mine are normally between 3 and 15 GB). Do you have two free USB slots? One for the Clonezilla software, the other for the backup disk or flash card. I have a few free USB ports. I'll check th...

That was perfect--thank you. On my system blkid shows: /dev/sda1: UUID="639C-3488" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="4e9c8e05-e23f-41a4-a29e-8dc9bb0e0cc1" /dev/sda2: UUID="78b35f52-b118-447f-9000-91b69d3f6d41" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="9efdd136-8ab6-420c-be18-d...

This is really helpful--thanks.

How difficult is it to restore a cloned image using Clonezilla if I've borked my system and just want to return to a known, working state?

I'm getting the same thing on my laptop....A brief window pops up and says the device is not configured yet......then it disappears before I can click on it.....I'm running LM 19.1. The same device shows up on my main computer and I was able to click on it and get it set up..... i don't know what t...
