Getting Authy Desktop running on Mint 21
Has anyone else managed to get Authy running OK on Mint 21 Cinnamon. I had Authy Desktop working without any problems in amd64 Mint Cinnamon 20.3. I just performed a clean install of amd64 Mint Cinnamon 21, then installed Authy via snap. The install ran without any errors, and when I run Authy, the ...

Update Manager not showing 4.17 kernel in list of kernels
I just updated from Mint 18.3 to Mint 19 (reformat and clean install). I've installed the 2.17.5 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.17.5/ and booted it, but when I run Update Manager and select "Linux Kernels" from the View menu, only the 4.15 kernels appear. I al...

Cannot mount NTFS drive
I have a dual boot Windows 10 / Linux Mint 18.3 machine with a 256Gb SSD partitioned 50/50 between the NTFS C: drive and linux ext4. Even after Windows has been shut down cleanly, if I boot into Linux and attempt to mount the C: drive from Nemo, it always fails with the following error dialog: Unabl...

Windows NTFS C: drive on dual boot can only be mounted read-only
I have Mint 18.2 dual boot with Windows 10 x64 build 1703. Whenever I boot into Mint and click on the Windows C: drive visible as its volume name of DRIVE_C under Devices in Nemo, I get an error message saying that the drive can't be mounted because Windows is hibernated.

Per-monitor UI scaling?
Running Mint Cinnamon 18.2. I have two 80cm monitors - one 2560x1600 resolution, the other 3840x2160 resolution. If I scale the UI so that things are a comfortable size on the lower res monitor, they're far too small on the high res monitor, and if the UI is scaled for the high-res monitor then ever...

Re: Gimp-edge problem on Mint 18
This problem has now been fixed in the latest Gimp build (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768934). If you install the latest Gimp from the gimp-edge ppa, the Gimp menus are all visible without having to play around with the Cinnamon theme settings.

Re: Gimp-edge problem on Mint 18
Well, I've found that if I change the Cinnamon Settings / Themes / Show Icons in Menus to OFF, then all menus in Gimp edge display correctly. The same problem (with the same solution) in a copy of Gimp that I built myself from git master.

Re: Gimp-edge problem on Mint 18
Thanks. I tried several different themes, but they all share the same problem of only the File menu being visible. Going back to Gimp 2.8 isn't an option because it doesn't support 16-bit images, which I use quite extensively.

Re: Text and windows too small on high resolution screen
I have a similar but not identical problem - I have two 80cm monitors running off a dual head nVidia card. One is an Eizo 4k monitor at 3840x2160 resolution, the other a Dell U3011 monitor at 2560x1600 resolution. In Cinnamon I can't find any way to size things on a per-monitor basis - having text f...

Re: 'easiest' way to clone an external hdd - including boot
If both source and target disks are external disks connected to your main box, and target disk size is at least equal to source disk size, you can do the following: Open a command prompt. Use fdisk to identify your source and target disks sudo fdisk -l Then use dd to copy from the source to the targ...

Re: Free space on NTFS formatted thumb drive
I'm just highlighting the file(s) in Nemo and pressing the Delete key. I guess I should be using Shift+Del instead. But it still seems a bug of some sort if files sitting in trash are preventing the copy of a file to the thumb drive when the space being occupied by undeleted files is small enough to...

Free space on NTFS formatted thumb drive
If I delete files on an NTFS formatted thumb drive in order to free space, the space does not actually seem to become available until I manually delete the .Trash-1000 folder on the thumb drive that Mint creates to hold the deleted files. I've come across this problem a couple of times when copying ...
