Linux Mint Forums

i was able to get mine working just by using the driver manager. Driver Manager offers (as of 16-Aug-2019) only the "version 4.3.8.12175.20140902.. " Synaptic only offers this same edition, but that is no surprize. I found "version 4.3.14..." through 'git'. I'll need to use sudo make -f Makefile.dk...

Would someone kindly direct me to a HOWTO so that I might run Windows-10 in a Virtual Machine (VM) one a Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon host? I've been searching and presume that I simply don't know enough to ask the right questions in the right places. I have a Win-10 Pro official media. I understand tha...

Thank you for these.

... if it is possible for you to follow a german linux mint forum, maybe I've found a solution for your special chipset. A user has modified a driver for your device and you can download it there and follow the install instructions (answer 7). It should run from the kernel 4.15.0-47 - ?. It's a dkm...

Follow-Up: I found the following article from January 2019 about *buntu 18.04: Lubuntu 18.04 Problem Installing USB wifi Realtek rtl8812AU It seems to hold information about all of the various moving parts of my issue. I'm still not clear when I need to do this all over again. I say, "when," meanin...

Can anyone help me with USB wifi adapter driver across not only the update 19.1 to 19.2 but for future updates?

I'm pretty sure almost all (some as bash) the "mintXXX" programs are written in python: $ W mint Thanks for this approach! I was able to use find to locate a group of "mint*" files.

Behold the wonders of GitHub: ;) https://github.com/linuxmint?language=python I will check this out. I've not made the move to 'git'. I'm still a CVS & Emacs guy.

Colleagues, Will someone direct me to GUI-based apps and utilities that are written in python and part of Linux Mint 18 or later? Alternately, is there some way to detect that some installed app or utility is python-based with some sort of command line inspection? I would fetch the source package an...

I have two issues with my Netgear A6100 wifi adapter any time my workstation enters sleep mode (suspend-to-ram) or hibernate (suspend-to-disk) the driver fails to reload on system restart any time I update the kernel using 'mintupdate', the workstation does not find the device on restart In the case...

... Then rebooted to the installed Mint 19 (where networking/printer detection did not work) and replaced the /etc/samba/smb.conf with the version copied from the Linux mint 18.3.

I went simple with my NVMe (SSD) and HDD install as follows: / on HDD as BTRFS /usr on NVMe as BTRFS ... Why did you choose BTRFS -- especially on the SSD? I've read that BTRFS has some issues with SSD write operations. Did you configure your BTRFS in any special way beyond dropping atime[/b] recor...

... I would have preferred to have /boot on the NVMe (to permit faster loading of the kernel and modules) but the installer wasn't happy with that. I only put /usr on the NVMe as I am mindful of the write lifetime of these devices and in this configuration it remains mostly read-only (noatime is se...

Patch worked for me!

Is there some setting or permission that I need to flip to enable desktop launchers?

If this is failing and throwing an error, is there a log somewhere that explains what is happening?

Thanks in advance,
