Linux Mint Forums

Thanks to phd21 and to athi. Solved.

To athi: My title line states LM (Linux Mint) 19.1 64-bit cinnamon. Is their more identification than that? I have installed K3b only to receive a notification that it would require an additional package to handle MP3 files. I went to the forum and found instructions to install the additions from my...

To begin, I am a newbie using LM in a dual boot on my Dell Inspiron 660s desktop. A recommendation for CD burning software with a special feature is my quest. I wish to produce audio CDs with a large number of songs of size less than 3 MB each, about 200 of them. That is a large number to record in ...

The only file I can export is not a HTML file or other that I can use in Windows 7. It is a josn type file for backup. There is a backup choice that produces the josn file, but there is no export choice in LM's Firefox. How do I create a file, such as an HTML file that I can export to a memory stick...

If possible, how may I export my LM Firefox bookmarks (a json type file) to my Window7 Firefox or my Windows Chrome browser?

MrEen: Yes, we share the same view, but I hate possibly to waste a disc in order to determine if I may manually finalize or manually not finalize at my choice. THAT is the question! I am using an RW type CD. Thanks for the reading material. Keeps me away from naughty sights on naught sites.

Can songs be added to the content of a used CD-RW disc that is only partially filled ?

I don't want to re-write the entire disc; only to add songs to a CD-RW from time to time while keeping the songs already recorded on the disc.

Thanks to all for the information and suggestions. I shall mark "Solved".

l2k4: I think it reasonable to rely on what a telephone support rep at Skype dot com tells me about her company's recent update: since last week, MS's Skype will not support Linux Mint, though other 64-bit ubuntu distros are still supported.

Skype rep told me that since last week, MS will not support its telephone service on Linux Mint. I have been using Skype for my dual OS system, Win7 and Linux Mint. I do not plan to update Win7 to Win10 in 2020. I shall then be relying completely on Mint for my computer communications on the web and...

What is "Patch Tuesday" , please? Is it a national holiday somewhere?

One of the benefits of my Linux Mint 19.1 cinnamon would be, I had hoped, reduced need to update. This benefit has not been realized. I am notified to update almost every day and several times a day! I would like to suspend updating to once a week. Is there any harm to my allowing the updating to ac...

Marking "Solved". Thanks to all ! Your time and good will is appreciated.

To deepakdeshp: Thank you for pointing out something I had not realized: that I can access my Windows data from Mint ! To Paradice: On my Mint system desktop, I double-clicked the Computer icon. A screen appeared with four icons, one of which had the model no. of my hard-drive. I took this to be the...

I notice 108 pages on the subject of installing Wine in 19.1. That surely is a red flag against a cavalier approach to installing Wine. Preferring to err on the side of caution, I ask how reliably to install Wine on my system (described below)? My purpose is to be able to access data files in my Win...

I did that but it did not work. I found another way by using Software Manager.

Mine is Linux Mint 19.1 64 bit cinnamon. I find much to like about it: freedom from AV protection; quicker start-up and shut-down than Windows7; open source and more. There are also drawbacks: not all peripheral devices, printers, scanners, etc., are easy to install (eg Brother HL-2140) or work with...

I find it very disappointing that I should have so much difficulty installing a desktop date and time on the right side of the bottom bar of my desktop. I did have a display of the date but not the time. In trying to install the time, I apparently removed the date, But the menu applets shows the dat...

My Calendar appears as installed, yet I see no way of configuring it. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling.
Thanks!
