Linux Mint Forums

I'm using Cinnamon 5.4.0

Also, I use extra panels a lot. One of those features I'm pretty sure windows doesn't have that I love about linux.

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm not entirely sure what this place is called which makes it hard to search. When you open a folder you have a sidebar with some locations. I have a lot of folders bookmarked and use it to move files quickly around. For some reason sometimes it has a copy ic...

I use unity to create games. I think it's a amazing program to create games, specially if your new to programming.

The fact that unity supports linux is the main reason I was able to move to linux mint.

I could never get that to work no matter how many times I rebooted. I ended up editing the grub file to stay open so I could select the kernel.

I find it kind of annoying to open grub when I need to. I know that windows has an option that lets you restart and open boot. Which was really helpful when installing mint. I think it would be useful if mint had an option like that for grub.

I moved to linux mint from windows 7, mainly because I hate windows 10. But I ended up liking mint more then windows 7. The OS is more stable, and even when I do run into problems they are normally very easy to fix even with my limited knowledge. I always heard windows is more user friendly then lin...

Games I've been playing on linux are:

Steam
- Don't Starve Together
- Gal*Gun: Double Peace
- Left 4 Dead 2

Dolphin (Gamecube)
- Lost Kingdoms
- Lost Kingdoms 2

Thanks I'll try it out

I like to keep my screen fairly dark, specially with so much white on the screen, but this makes it hard to view dark images/videos/games. I tried some options to lighten my screen, other then using the annoying buttons below the monitor, but nothing is working good. I found DDC Control which seems ...

Thank you GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu worked. Now if I ever need to change kernels, I have a easy way of accessing that.

I heard a few places say to update grub2. So just to be clear I update grub not grub2?

Anyway I would still like to know how to get into grub. I tried editing the file, but it still wouldn't open. Is there a way to force it open? Like a "restart and open grub" option? Not clear what file you tried editing. However, as deck_luck suggests, Grub's default behaviour (i.e., unle...

I've just spent the last 4 hours trying to fix my computer. After updating my computer I lost my ability to connect to the internet wirelessly. I believe it was because of the new kernel, so I spent the day trying to open grub to switch to the old one with no success. I eventually got sick of trying...

... I been working on a bash file that extracts a zip file into a folder named the same as the zip. For example. I would want video23.zip to extract its content into a folder next to it called video23. ... Ok, how did you test the bash file? Where is the bash file? What is the name of the test.zip ...

That's actually why I moved to Linux. I didn't like windows 10, but I was willing to live with it. But then I found out how they were updating windows 10 I knew I had to find something else. I had enough problems with windows 7 updates.

Nope that code didn't work all. Is there a way I can test this code in the terminal so I can see what error it's getting? I feel like that would be a big help. Shift-jis is a language pack that lets me open files with Japanese encoding. If I use the file browser version then the letters will be all ...

I mainly wanted to make this because I zip and unzip a lot of japanese files and it got annoying running to the terminal every time. My plan was to make a bash file that would do everything for me. All I would have to do is right-click on the zip and click "Open With". unzip -O shift-jis $...

I saw that code while searching, but what if it's rar. I believe unzip still extracts that.

If you needed to unpack rar, you could have said so the first time around.

man unrar

No it's not that. I'm just saying I need code that removes more then a zip extension.

This is what I got so far. This extracts the zip into a folder next to the zip called NewFolder unzip ...
