Re: 21.1 Warpinator Issues

I've a clean install of 21.1
And Warpinator is fine.

Have you tried removing all the cache and config data and starting over

That flatpak is working for some, is an indication that it might be old data related

Re: Linux Mint 21.1 Beta... Has anyone been trying this out?

Installed it to an externally 'thunderbolt' connected SSD
Installation was trouble free.
Installed system is really smooth. I too, do not favour the new look.
Installed Wine and that went well for the apps I use
I'd have no trouble recommending it
Nice work

Re: Hard Drive with Bad Sectors won't mount

If it's important, which I assume it is
You could make a clone of it with ddrescue and add ionice in the mix
But you need a target that is ideally slightly bigger than the source

Re: Live install USB mounts read-only when plugged into my working machine

I have never investigated this but wouldn't it be better to edit the iso with isomaster and then write that?

Honestly I'd use ddrescue with ionice

Re: 32GB USB drive showing as 1.8GB??

Has it been used before for something? In the past - using openSUSE imagewriter with it's own .iso's seems to create some different partitioning on the usb The solution over there and can be used in Mint too is https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick#How_to_recover_the_USB_stick_for_.22normal.22_...

Re: Zoom meeting software

The zoom software generally work fairly well. But it's not very well tested and little behind the Windows and Mac versions. I host meetings regularly and can't rely on the Linux version.

Re: UEFI Problems

When you use the installer in either legacy or efi mode it defaults grub to sda
That's sda as in the MBR

However, if you are installing as efi you need to use the drop down selector to install grub to the efi partition - for me that's sda1 but YMMV
Had you done that?

It's most unlikely that you will get a printer running in Wine

The setup in Mint for wine is

Code: Select all
