Re: Any thoughts about upgrading this forum?
Things sink fast if not 'upvoted' or 'liked' enough, and due to the platform encouraging 'spam' posting, many topics disappear so fast they never become a conversation of any note. Good luck trying to patch together a decent technical solution from disparate conversations on Reddit for example. I'm...

Re: installation of gEDA in mint20
No, it doesn't. Your "empty" off-topic post seems more strange, sorry. It was an observation that, having posed the question there was no further interaction (now for 16 weeks) so clearly the OP is not interested in getting an answer - or is not polite enough to acknowledge an answer if i...

Why? Ludicrous. We have no need nor desire to know what you had for breakfast or which bars you frequent.

Re: Any thoughts about upgrading this forum?
Here's a case where a like button would save me having to say I agree with the above, except for the bit about likes. A Like is not the same as an up-vote. But expanding on that: the character of a forum is pretty much defined by the default display option (some forums let you choose, but the majori...

Re: New 2tb external hard drive not recognized
So I reformated it as NTSC I don't think so! If you did somehow manage to do that, it would explain much. Presuming you mean NTFS, I think the only conclusion is there's something wrong with the drive. There's nothing unusual in Win10 corrupting a drive (just by plugging it in) so that other OSes c...

Re: Sound on left channel only on LM 20
My prediction is that results from the speakers could vary each time you plug headphones in and remove them again. If so, this is because the switch contacts which break (on insertion) and make (on removal) are making poor contact, and it would be possible to repair by replacing the socket assembly,...

Re: Sound on left channel only on LM 20
About hardware issues, i am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with it, because back when it had windows 10 installed it worked fine. I also remember it used to have an specific control panel just for the sound of the notebook, it was probably installed with the soundchip driver itself. It's got to...

Re: enable Zram
You don't know that. The OP might have had no idea it is even a possibility, or realise that often there is a removable hatch on the underside of notebooks which give direct access.CtrlAltDel wrote: ↑Sun Nov 15, 2020 6:47 pmvery likely already knows that all his issues could be solved with buying more memory sticks.

Re: Best App to convert Music CD to mp4? Solved
It is highly recommended that people rip their CD's into a "lossless" format which can easily be converted at another time I'll second that. It used to be the case that HDD space was expensive, so there was no room to save a .WAV along with the .MP3, but there is little excuse now (and th...

Re: Best App to convert Music CD to mp4? Solved
I'm surprised this thread is marked "solved" (even ignoring the error in the title) - it's asking about the best app, not just any app. Ripping a CD to MP3 isn't just a conversion issue, which is why Sound Converter deferred to Sound Juicer. A standard audio CD isn't a set of files in the ...

Re: enable Zram
Less than 2GB according to the inxi report in the first post.
It strikes me that zRAM is clutching at straws. It would be better to investigate upgrading the RAM.

Doesn't it strike anybody as odd that the OP stated his question about 7 weeks ago as his first post on the forum and hasn't been seen since?

Re: Any thoughts about upgrading this forum?
I really love Mint and this forum. The members and managers/admins are quite helpful and friendly and I truly appreciate all the help and good will. I was wondering why this forum looks so unattractive (IMHO) and old, no offence. Especially compared with such a polished and well made product. Even ...

How about the executable. Have you tried that? Do you want me to try that for you on Play on Linux? Anybody willing to give anything a shot very welcome (especially those who know what they're doing). The "executable" download is only a stripped down download for updating from an older ve...
