Linux Mint Forums

I never know how to interpret many of instructions kindly supplied. For example, is path something I must supply, as in "home/alvin/" ? or is it part of the command ? I obtained results with "ls -l path to Downloads" but they were not in the same order as the list I am trying to copy. To sum up, the...

Thanks! I assume it will work and shall mark solved. My assumption was premature. I have removed "Solved".

I have a long list of downloads that I wish to peruse in order to decide which to delete or to move to another folder. How can I print my download list in order to review it at my leisure?

My apologies for not looking hard enough. I guess that because I had VLC booted, it would be the same organization as in Windows. Thanks!

My Windows VLC has features that do not appear in my Linux Mint VLC. For examples, speed control of playback, snapshots from a video clip.

Is there a more complete download of VLC than the limited one I have?

How do I read Kindle books please on Linux Mint 19.1 64bit cinnamon?

My question is not how to label a flash drive. It is how to RElabel a flash drive.

I posted in newbie forum but no answer worked for me.

I am using Linux Mint 19.1 64bit cinnamon.

blueocean: Thanks, but I did not need a dictionary to correct myself. I still can't relabel my USB stick.

sgtor: I tried but could not. What are elabel2 and /dev/sdx all about? What would they be in my case?

blueocean: Please let me know where to find "Disks" in my OS.

Pardon my misspelling of "relabel".

I am using Linux Mint 19.1 64bit cinnamon. I wish to re-label a USB stick without formatting it. Is there a renaming method? Must I do it from a terminal window? If so, how, please?

When I try to copy or to move the file, I am in Libre Office Writer. I click on the icon for opening files. A list of directories and files appears. One of them is the one I wish to copy or to move. I select it with a single mouse-click. It turns color. I left-click the file, and a little hand appea...

I first searched in the Newbie forum and 698 pages were produced. None of the initial pages offered an answer to this simple need. I have a file in my documents folder that I wish to move and / or copy to a sub-folder. I could not do it by moving the little hand with the mouse, holding the left butt...

I searched this subject but did not find any answers. I want to copy or to move a file from my documents directory to a sub-directory. I have clicked on the filename in the directory to get the little hand; then moved the hand to the sub-directory where I released the mouse-button. That did not work.

cliffcoggin: I found just what you depicted and described; only when I previewed the image it was immense. Maybe I did not preview it correctly or made some other error. In any case, I have launched "simplescan" from software manager and find it simple indeed. It produced just the image I needed. Th...

Lanser: I could not get the software for Vuescan to install from the software manager. Further, I found that the non-commercial version leaves a watermark for Hamrick on the printed result. For that reason, I did not bother to go to the developer's website.

My question obviously contains the answer to yours, but I appreciate your answer. For the Windows 7 software, I had no problem with the documentation. For the Linux XSane, I could not understand the documentation to do more than choose 300 for res and lineart. They gave me poor results.

I have a dual-op system in which I chiefly use Linux Mint 19.1 64bit cinnamon. I need to copy pages of sheet music that are a bit aged. For this purpose, scanner software that will resolve for printing the fine lines of a musical staff, the notes and other markings is necessary. I can do this succes...
