Linux Mint Forums

The title says it all. I tried using a trend net and could not get it to work, so instead of running out and buying something and then coming here when it doesn't work, I figured I'd ask you guys what does!

I just renamed a bunch of files. Now, when it shuts down, I see my logo.
But when I boot up, I still see the LM logo.
Ideas?

I have researched many articles on how to customize the Plymouth screen in all of the past distributions, however the usr/share/Plymouth/themes/mint-logo has 36 png files titled from animation-0001 to 0036 and throbber-0001 to 0030. I tried replacing the animation files with a PNG file of similar si...

I was logging into my Gmail, and I got a notice that all less secure app access will be shut off as of May 30. I assume this includes thunderbird. Are there any apps out there to read Gmail accounts that will survive this purge?

I just tried to start gsmartcontrol on Mate 20.3 and got the following output...Please let me know if you need more information. <error> [gtk] _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation local (GLocalVfs) for ‘gio-vfs’ <error> [gtk] posix_spawn avoided (workdir specified) (fd close reques...

Great suggestion! That did it!

Running Mint 20 MATE, when I watch, for example, Star Trek on Netflix, or downloaded Alfred Hitchcock episodes, the intros are so loud, is there something out there to attenuate that? The sound level is do disparate that it wakes people in other parts in the house. Maybe some plug in for pulseaudio?

Running mint 20.1, installed a HP m148 printer, when I go to scan, it alerts me that I need a driver plug-in. It gives the option to download and install the plug-in from an HP authorized server, then it gives the HP device manager message that says/home/username/.hplip/hplip - 3.2 0.11 plugin run f...

I would, but this is not the first time I have seen this. Also, reinstallation would be extremely traumatic in this case.

Like I said in the description, when I click the start menu, and then a location, like computer, or network, or the home directory, Libre office is launched. And then it says it can't find the location. I made a video for explanation.

I have a 2TB SSD that has my LM 19.3 installed, I created a 100GB partition and dropped in my Windows image using Acronis TrueImage. In other words, I did not install from disc. There are now 4 primary partitions on the drive, sda1(Root) sda2(swap) sda3(home) and sda4 (Windows). I am able to mount t...

I use pcloud for files up to 10GB, it's multi platform, and for large cloud based, I got an S3 account at Amazon, and use a program called Duplicati to back up to it. I have 256 bit AES encryption to hide my muffin recipes from prying eyes.

I DJ all the time with MIXXX. It has an appearance similar to Traktor, and does just fine.

I would say the issue is the APU, in this case. It is VERY weak, and Linux, unlike Windows, uses a lot of CPU to play video. I would try to change the APU. Anything like an A8-9600 would do a fine job, if it's am AM3 board, find something similar.

Flash has worked fine up to this release, don't know why it has stopped working, but it has for me and many others I know. HALP!
Mint 18.2 MATE on different hardware, adobe-flashplugin and libhal1-flash installed.

I think that got it! I'll repost for all my users, thank you again!

I like 17, but with the newest iteration of Mint about to drop, I want to wait till I have something that is more "current" so Google doesn't do this to me in two more years. Does anyone know how to bypass the "Update Flash" notification in Opera? Opera's forums show a total disc...

When I launch Chrome, I get a message that says "This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because this Linux system is no longer supported." I am trying to get pepperflash to work in my Opera browser. It seems to depend on Chrome. Can't use Firefox due to Flash being stuc...

Thanks for all the input!

Ditto. I used K9 Copy in Mint 10, and Thoggen in Mint 13. Now on 17 I can get neither. What can be used to do a DVD-to-ISO rip?
