Mice are cheap.....try another one. I have replaced a LOT of mice over the years. It's less for the price of a new (second-hand) entry-level mouse than for avoiding the waste. But eventually I disassembled that mouse with the idea of changing its PCB with another similar model (actually looking ide...

Hello motoryzen, It is a USB 2.0 mouse, and the laptop has one USB 2.0 port, and 2 USB-C ports. On one of this USB-C port is plugged a hub (which itself comes with 3 USB 3.0 ports). On the hub is most often only plugged: - USB-C charger (laptop is thus powered by the charger through the hub) - Ether...

Late congrats! I'll be happy to learn more on how you made it work if you ever find time to write about that.
Cheers

Hello, On Linux Mint 21.0 Cinnamon with an entry-level Logitech wired mouse model, I get some frequent mouse pointer freeze - suddenly the mouse does not respond for 1 to 2 sec. Quite annoying. It's been maybe about a bit more than a month I noticed such issue, and I thought at first it could be due...

Hello linux22, Thank you for the follow-up! Indeed many feedback from the readers of my tutorials often says that they are too long or too dispersive (for a striking example see the comments at the bottom of my tutorial https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2496). Therefore, right or wrong, ...

Hi lofi, It is very easy to set up a home partition ok, I remember repeating here what I heard elsewhere, that it was hard. Of course it depends on our level. That sentence was probably addressed to a beginner, of course here we are in the Chad thread! Can't be that hard! Indeed setting up a home pa...

Hello linux22, No worry take all needed time, nothing really urgent here for me. Got your point about the work in progress regarding TPM+PIN waiting for a systemd upgrade. Just being curious at this point - do you have any idea on whether PIN mentionned in Archlinux's TPM help page refers to LUKS pa...

Well finally I found those combinations on the main French AZERTY layout: < LEVEL 3 Special (ALTGR) + SHIFT + Z > LEVEL 3 Special (ALTGR) + SHIFT + X Which is fine enough for me to deal with. So I removed "fr\toss_latin9" layout. And problems with other layouts disappeared - all set layout...

The malediction finally got broken yesterday evening - for some reasons, all new windows now get focus! I am not under the impression to have done anything special for it, maybe those upgrades done yesterday, although I wouldn't think they would be related at first... Upgrade: libntfs-3g89:amd64 (1:...

You can reassign < and > symbols to a key you don't use like Insert, Delete, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End. It will work for all your keyboard layouts. For example, if you run this command in terminal and restart the computer you will have < > symbols on Delete key: sudo sed -i '79s|.*|key<DELE>{[less,grea...

New windows started via the terminal however do have an option to switch on or off: "Give focus to new windows started from the terminal". I had seen that one, but was - and still is - set to TRUE. Still, focus on apps just run actually not always works - it varies depending on the applic...

Hello, On a recent LM 21 Cinnamon 64bits install, by default when starting a program even when other windows were already opened, the new window would come at the foreground. Since about a week - I am unsure why and how (recent udpate? unvoluntarily setting modification?) - the new window is opened ...

Hello, I find myself with 2 issues regarding the keyboard layout panel on LM 21 Cinnamon 64bits install (which I was able to reproduce on the Live USB version). Not sure whether they actually only relates to Cinnamon. On a machine which physical keyboard has a US QWERTY layout, I would like to have ...

Dear linux22, After some time and a long experience of broken GRUB, I finally made the step towards systemd-boot following your as always very handy tutorials. So this is about a dual-boot installation based on a previous setup on which I reinstalled only the Linux part. Given that I didn't want to ...

That situation was particularly annoying as I couldn't find a way out Busybox, not even booting to firmware with F2 at boot. I had tried to change boot order with efibootmgr (which I had installed on the root partition from the liveUSB session), but was getting the error EFI variables are not suppor...

Hello, I have been installing a custom setup mostly inspired by linux22's work with the root partition being a lvm logical partition ("root") which is part of lvm volume group "mint" inside a luks container ("nvme0n1p7_crypt") inside the physical partition "nvme0n1...

Hello dobp. I have read your message and, as you said in your EDIT note, the problems with GRUB is the most important reason because I have switched to EFI STUB. In my past tutorial concerning Linux FDE I was always dealing with GRUB with great difficulties. So when I switched to UEFI I have found ...

Dear Linux22, As explained previously here, I have a machine for which I followed your instructions to get a FDE dual boot system, with Secure Boot enabled (using the original Microsoft UEFI Secure Boot certificates of my PC UEFI platform - Method 1). Currently under Linux Mint 19.3 64bits Cinnamon,...

Sorry for that very late answer, however the issue still exists up to now, and I still don't understand what trigger the ethernet connection's freeze. This hub can be either self-powered or powered by USB-C external source. The second option is usually preferred by plugging the laptop power supply t...

En attendant le passage au Kernel 5.4 LTS (qui semble avoir été patché ainsi que le kernel 5.5) qui devrait arriver en juin avec LM 20 , une solution temporaire serait de revenir à la version 5.3.0-45 ( source ). Ayant constaté le même souci, je me souviens que cela est en effet apparu après une mis...
