Re: Use media keys to only affect the volume of spotify

Here you go: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... ctl#209047.

Once you determine the sink number you can create a custom shortcut in the keyboard settings in Cinnamon to trigger that pactl command.

Re: How do you Format Hard Disk in LM?

You should not mount anything in or on /media/myname , that is used by udisks for automounting devices. It will not be a happy outcome. You can mount via fstab in /media , I mount my backup partition at /media/backup . Thanks for catching that! It's early here and I copied what Oskar posted not rea...

Re: How do you Format Hard Disk in LM?

Coggy is correct, you'll need to change the permissions. You can also have it automount if you add it to fstab which should let you write to it. Add this to /etc/fstab with sudo or as root: UUID=[PARTITION-ID] /media/blah auto defaults 0 0 , replacing "blah" with a name of your choice. You...

Re: How do you Format Hard Disk in LM?

If you only plan on accessing the drive from Linux then I would recommend choosing the gpt partition table and create a single ext4 partition for all of your files.

Re: Unable To Download Videos

It's not as convenient as a browser extension, but you might want to try YouTube Downloader Plus from the software manager (it's a flatpak). It's a GUI for yt-dlp which can download video and audio from many sites.

Re: Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2 can`t detect SSD main storage

I ran into a similar situation with 19.3 and didn't have this problem with 19.2 on a Macbook Air (2015 model) with UEFI and an SSD. Per Clem's suggestion I added noapic as a kernel boot option and that made the SSD available for installation.

Re: When will this forum site get a new modern design?

Seems like the best approach would be to run two front-ends to the forum? Perhaps upon first visit the user is presented with two options, one for the current design and another option for a newer modern design. I'm all for a fresh coat of paint and new features as long as it doesn't involve megabyt...

Re: Linux Mint 19.3 'Tricia' What are your First Impressions?

Not sure if anyone else ran into this issue but this is the first release where after successfully installing the system, I rebooted and it dropped to initramfs. Thanks to Clem's suggestion, I added "noapic" as a kernel boot option and that fixed it. I updated grub and everything seems to ...

Re: Taking the Plunge

I had a similar experience. I have an iMac but wasn't quite happy with it. I found Ubuntu and bought a Dell Inspiron 1420n with Ubuntu pre-installed. I now use the Xfce version of Mint on all of my computers. :D

Auto-connect to network drive with pyNeighborhood? [SOLVED]

First off, I guess, is it better to use pyNeighborhood or Gigolo for this task? pyNeighborhood is working for me right now but maybe Gigolo offers more? This is probably simple, but how can I connect to my external network hard drive with either Gigolo or pyNeighborhood when I start my computer? Tha...

Re: KDE, XFCE vs others

Xfce in Mint (especially Mint 7) has been lots faster than Gnome on my old hand-me-down machine. It's kinda sorta like what "Gnome Lite" would be if there was such a thing. I tried a bunch of different DEs (Openbox, LXDE, KDE, Gnome, and Xfce) before choosing a favorite. For me Xfce is th...

I guess the only reason why I leave mine on is because CrashPlan backs up my shtuff at night. I suppose I could change that or it would be nice to have it suspend my computer after it's done.
