Sometimes when I am at the "Lock Screen" and sometimes when I type sudo whatever it takes forever.

Anybody know what is going on?

I just updated to 5.4.0.54 but I believe it was happening with older kernels too.

Just tried it. Seems to help.

Thanks.

xed source hilighting is hard to read on Mint-Y-Dark theme

I tried putting this in ~/.profile and it didn't work but it now does in ~/.bashrc

Thanks

The funny thing is, it never asks for a name!

I got it to work by selecting Generic / PDF (Didnt see this before as I was thinking the Windows way) and now all my documents come out in ~/BRF with a .brf extension. I'm scared of the package printer-driver-cups-pdf (https://www.cups-pdf.de/documentation.shtml) as it says it requires root to work....

Win 10 can print to a PDF file.
Can Mint?

I'll post again next time it breaks.

Thank you everybody.

Now I looked in /var/log/dpkg.log and it only stores from yesterday. What gives? Is it a logrotate (or something like that) issue?

EDIT: Yes I see it now: dpkg.log.1, dpkg.log.2.gz, etc

Once again thank you everyone, even though the logs aren't in a format to my tastes.

How can I make my bash store infinite history?

I already did

I see switch user but it just punts me back to my user name for a password.

EDIT: Actually I just tried it, it goes to a blank screen and allows me to select another desktop, then it puts me back in Cinnamon with a password prompt.

I can't mount volumes in Nemo anymore. I get the 'Not authorized to perform operation' error. I installed a bunch of stuff that prolly changed something. I dont know what the problem is. I ed my /media/user directory and . That's all I could think of.

How do I sign in twice and get 2 or more user sessions under the same user name? I want to run 2 different desktop environments at the same time.

Mint 20 only gives me a text based grub. I would like a more graphical (if you could call it that) interface on startup.

How do I prevent nix user from showing up in lightdm

I ran out of space on my device trying to build something in Docker and now I don't know what to delete to get my space back. Im in /var/lib/docker/btrfs trying to delete things but it doesn't seem to be working.

Even doesn't work.

I'm basically trying to create a backup of my current Mint install. I am interested in any and all solutions that would get me to a bootable ISO of my current system as it stands.

What software is used for this?
