As the OP said, his main reason for the post is that Nemo seems to be broken/unusable for file browsing. I'm also seeing this behaviour and it makes nemo painful to use. Sometimes it is ok, but at other times even after a fresh boot, I can browse one or two depths of the directory tree, then bang......

I found it while I was looking to install Mkvtoolnix-gui in the Mint 'Software Manager'. I just set the search to 'mkv' and 'makemkv' come up as an available app to install. It wasn't specifically identified as a flatpak (until you get to the details). But that's what went wrong when I tried to inst...

I'm assuming that this is new since the upgrade to Mint 20.1, I wasn't aware of it previously, but I hadn't recently tried to use a flatpak install on Mint 20.0. So inxi -Fxxx System: Host: Mint20new Kernel: 5.8.0-41-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: Cinnamon 4.8.6 wm: muffin 4.8.1 dm: ...

Why? Timeshift takes exactly as much space as it needs to create a snapshot of whatever you tell it to take a snapshot of. If it doesn't have enough space available to do that, a snapshot will simply fail. Your idea is thus flawed from the outset. That's exactly the potential problem, timeshift is ...

I want to control just how much space timeshift can suck up. To this end I created a mounted drive from a file set at 20GB. Can you tell us more on that ? How did you do it ? I simply created an empty file of 20GB, then mounted it and formatted it as ext3. I followed the instructions here. http://s...

I want to control just how much space timeshift can suck up. To this end I created a mounted drive from a file set at 20GB. Since timeshift currently asks for 6.5G this is good for 3 snapshots. Do I really need more. After all, the only issues are broken updates. Anything else will be covered up by ...

Some more information... The output of... grep -Ei "nvidia|nouveau" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 9.698] (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" [ 9.699] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 331.113 Mon Dec 1 20:24:35 PST 2014 [ 9.699] (==) Matched nvidia as autoconfigured driver 0 [ 9.699] (==) ...

As stated below, it seems that this problem is resolved since Mint 18.1 I have a KVM switch between 3 or 4 different PC's 3 are linux (2 are mint) and my work one with Windows. I had this before, but somehow fixed but cannot remember what hoops I jumped through to fix it. On one Mint version, I can ...

There's no Desktop info eg Xfce or Mate etc, it just says Gnome. inxi -S System: Host: my-kungfu Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Xfce 4.11.6 Distro: Linux Mint 17 Qiana Surely, 20 years using Linux and bsd you've encountered man pages? Missed that one. Yes of course I've used man...

Yes, you're right there... inxi -U, inxi -Fxs now gives...

Thanks, that's almost too much info.... But it still doesn't report that the desktop is Cinnamon. So where is that information lurking that's in a form that's readable by a text clipper? Better stil, let's have some synchronism between Linux Mint forums (and their need for system info) and the tools...

It seems that the problem may be with Cinnamon then.. root@Mint17[501]$ inxi -S System: Host: Mint17 Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: N/A Distro: Linux Mint 17 Qiana But the 'system info' window registers the desktop as it is, 'Cinnamon' http://i58.tinypic.com/2heg5ty.jpg So it see...

Another hour wasted searching for what might be obvious to some :x It should be easy. I can go to 'System Settings' -> System Info. It's mostly all there. So what perverse notion made it seem like a good idea to use a non-selectable pop-up window? You cannot access the text to copy & paste !!. C...

Ah, thanks. Is this the only way though? Using the 'offical' Mint path seems designed to frustrate. There's no direct path for a 'noob' or someone like myself who simply gets frustrated having to spend half an hour or more searching for ways to achieve what, on any other system, would be simple. Ama...

We get Amazon.com by default as a seach engine, but that's not much use if you don't live in the U.S.A.! So. simple question. How do I add amazon.co.uk or .de or any other of the local amazons out there? BTW, it seems that the forum search tool thinks it knows best.... it keeps changing my search te...

You'll get the same UUID if you clone the drive or set up md raid. I thought that the purpose of UUID 'Universally Unique Identifier' was to prevent that from occurring, each drive has a unique serial number, even different manufacturer ids. At least my system is still running, I need to fix the ba...

64b Mint 14 install on a new drive in a previously WinXP setup. I've 2 external drives (Both Iomega HDD Disk Label). Running this I see. sudo blkid /dev/sda1: LABEL="SYSTEM" UUID="DC94D9F694D9D35E" TYPE="ntfs" /dev/sda2: LABEL="USERS" UUID="241CB8471CB815...

Sorry, no solution. Just want to confirm that I too cannot get anything to work through the wine menu. BUT I do have a populated wine sub menu. Just every menu item produces a pop up with ERROR file not found. Which file ??????? Don't you just love error messages that are completely useless. PITA I ...

Well, it was all going nicely for a while, and now I'm back to this again :x .... But this time it is on a LVM partition that's not part of my RAID. So the first seems to be a bit of a red-herring, it's a fsck at boot problem. I cannot even get the safe mode to get beyond 'press C to cancel disk che...

More confusing info... For some reason the /home is on /dev/sda6 when I boot with Mint but on /dev/sdd6 with FC12. When I run fsck.ext4 -n -f on this partition in Mint I get errors but not on FC12 ?? Does this make any sense :?: I see that the version on Mint is different from FC12 (which is the sam...
