Replace the group code with the word Warpinator. Oh, that's what you meant :idea: I had completely forgotten about the Group Code, since it seems so counter-intuitive and that is something I had already changed right away a long time ago. Especially since https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator#sol...

diabolicbg, thanks for replying. But truth be told, I am a bit puzzled by your answer: Disable protected mode by returning the original "Warpinator" code On which system do you suggest to "Disable protected mode" for Warpinator and how? So far I couldn't find anything related to ...

Currently having to fall back on Google Voice in Firefox temporarily to make phone calls I am highly frustrated with the quality on LM 21.1 Mate, whereas on a comparable Win10 laptop the voice audio quality is as good as any messenger voice conversation on a smartphone. On a 4GB RAM 4-core Celeron N...

Just upgraded to the latest Warpinator 1.4.5 on Mint 21.1 Mate, hoping that'll fix the issue, but it didn't. At startups Warpinator reports: Something went wrong. Startup was unsuccessful. Check your logs The only one I found is Syslog and I don't see anything strange there: Feb 19 11:44:32 HP org.m...

After upgrading from LM 20.3 Mate to 21 Mate over the WE I now lost the convenient toggle option into Overstrike mode, using Shift+Insert [0] on the Numeric Keypad (NK). Now, Shift+Insert pastes the mouse buffer, Ctrl+Shift+Ins pastes the clipboard. Strangely, Shift+Del [.] on the NK does nothing at...

Do some safe cleaning, like this: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/clean-mint.html Thank you :D That link is really helpful. Following its Timeshift advice, I now deleted all but 2 backups and got back the first usable 4GB, while Timeshift still reserves some 20GB for itself. Looks like ...

I'm in dire need of some good ideas to get back access to the free disk space on my data partition. If it is a data partition, and not an OS partition, then what is the problem? Mount it and delete something. If you choose to delete TS snapshots, do that within TS. Don't worry about is there 3% (10...

Kernels are in /boot, not in this separate data partition.

I'm in dire need of some good ideas to get back access to the free disk space on my data partition. LM 20.3 Mate, Kernel 5.15.0-56 My suspicion is on Timeshift, but I haven't deleted its directory yet, since I don't want to lose previous backups. The problem is, that Timeshift, gnome-disks and Mate ...

l see, thanks. systemd-timesyncd will not work if ntpd or chronyd are installed. Aha, learned something new :-) In case any of the following might be helpful somehow: $ date Fri 09 Jul 2021 19:43:52 CDT $ date -u Sat 10 Jul 2021 00:44:21 UTC $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US LC_CTYPE="e...

Not really knowing what each command does exactly, I was just playing around with ntp*-whatever. This is what I get (showing my actual local time in TZ UTC-05:00): $ ntpdate 9 Jul 16:40:35 ntpdate[476251]: no servers can be used, exiting $ sudo ntpdate-debian [sudo] password for xxxx: 9 Jul 16:40:56...

Time zone: America/Chicago (CDT, -0500) System clock synchronized: yes NTP service: n/a RTC in local TZ: no [/code] That's confirms it is not a browser or Gmail issue, but system time is messed up somehow. You may indicate your DE and OS version if someone will take a look at it. Well, it is: $ inx...

Where does FF get its local TZ information from, when it comes to displaying the dates/times of emails in web-mailers like Yahoo or GMail? FF here shows all those times as UTC, rather than what it should be UTC-5:00. Playing with the TZ setting f.e. in Yahoo Mail → Calendar preferences, doesn't chan...

My answer here should point you in the right direction: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/552688/is-it-possible-to-roll-back-a-flatpak-update/552700#552700 YES! That is exactly, what I was looking for. Thank you big time. :D Odd though, that I didn't come across that one myself, when googlin...

Your answer is besides the point.
I have my very specific reasons why I need to update to specific versions and that is why I asked for what I did.

@ all41:
afaict, Synaptic only covers regular packages, but NOT FlatPaks.

Also weirdly, the only other version being offered there in "Force Version" for FF other than the latest 89.0.2 is 78.0+build3-0ubuntu1 (focal)
Where are all the other versions in between?

According to https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using-flatpak.html#updating "$ flatpak update updates all your installed applications and runtimes to the latest version" How do I, for example, update : Firefox org.mozilla.firefox 86.0.1 stable system not to the latest (89.0.2), but to vers...

Nothing?
Really nobody was running into this issue before?
