I just bought a cheap Chinese made unit from Amazon (635 yen or 4.50 UK) and Kamoso picked it up straight away. 1080P with built-in mic.

Install Cheese on your Mint box to test your unit.

Umm, it's gone up a bit since I bought it!

For some reason the icon was back today!

If it was my own machine it would bug the hell out of me but since one is the boss's machine and she hasn't even noticed, I can wait for a fix. The other machine just plays music and music videos downstairs in the bar. It's no biggie, just a tad irritatiing! I like Mint Cinnamon but it's too simplis...

Same problem with fcitx-mozc Japanese input:

Same problem. Didn't see that thread! It was Cinnamon 4.6.7.

Only data backups here, I find it quicker and easier to do a fresh install if something goes wrong!

The Fcitx-Mozc Tray Icon disappeared (on two systems) after a recent Cinnamon update. There's just a blank space where it used to be! :D Hitting Control-Space on the machine with a an Engrish keyboard and 半角/全角 on the machine with a Japanese keyboard changes the input method as usual and the Japanes...

I think if you run the Mint Welcome app, it will give you the opportunity to install them.

Or you can apt install mint-meta-codecs

Most mice are made for right-handers so it's very difficult to find something comfortable to use in my left hand, except for regular mice. I'm on my second Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse. The extra buttons work with Linux if you edit a config file.

When IBM dropped support for OS/2 Warp 4 I started playing with Mandrake KDE and RedHat Gnome (Before it became Fedora) No way was I going to install Windows on my machine after using something that actually worked!

I miss OS/2 and have a copy running in Virtualbox just for old times sake!

Yup, found out myself. Transparency is now OK. Need to find time to troubleshoot monitor problem. Have to update the boss's machine first.

Fresh install on a Thinkpad Edge 0578CTO with Crucial MX500SSD 8Gb RAM. Connected to HDMI Dell 24" IPS monitor. Transparent Panel extension not compatible (loaded from a previous install of 19.3) Upgrade to extension doesn't help. On login screen is three quarters black with a quarter visible on the...

I have it running in Virtualbox. I haven't really had time to look at it but since I'm now off for three days and the rainy season has started...

There's this:

Yes, the Live USB stick gave me the choice of booting in EFI and Legacy modes. First I tried EFI and it failed after install but Legacy worked. I haven't touched the BIOS of that machine since I first installed Mint 19.0 and totally removed Windows 10 (The boss hated it with a vengeance!) Anyway, it...

The boss was running Linux Mint 19.X on a Lenovo B50-30 laptop with a 500Gb spinning disk. I originally installed it with four partitions: EFI / Swap /home I recently swapped out her drive and replaced it with a Crucial MX500 500Gb SSD and tried a fresh install with the same partition layout. On reb...

For uploading to Instagram I use the Web for Instagram plus DM extension in Chrome Browser. If Chrome is still supported in 32bit I don't know.

T60 specs says it supports 64 bit.

I've been using a pair of Bose Companion 2 Series II PC Speakers plugged into the headphone jack of my ageing Lenovo Thinkpad for about 10 years and it hasn't blown up yet!
