Sticky notes confirm to delete
I have never used the sticky notes application but now that I was reviewing LM 20.3 I decided to give it a go. I found something annoying: When deleting a note I was able to select "Don't ask me again" to the confirmation to remove the note, but I couldn't find anywhere in the UI a way to ...

Re: [SOLVED] Different wallpaper on each display?
I am aware I am reviving a SOLVED thread, but I hope other people benefit from this when searching for the thread. After reading the solution provided by ismail783 I am using a 3840x1080 wallpaper. I decided to create a script to generate the appropriate image for any monitor configuration and posit...

CInnamon: How to set different background images in each monitor for a multimonitor system.
As you've seen, the Cinnamon background settings does not have an option to set up different images for each monitor. so Building in an answer I found in the forum https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1720654#p1720654 , I decided to investigate how to automate it. I uploaded to my blog an ex...

Re: Overheating & Freezing with Files
As with the joke about the patient saying "Dr, my eye hurts when I poke it, what can I do?"and the dr replies "the solution is easy, just don't poke it" One guess is that when you are trying to look at the logs (click on them) it tries to open in xed which is not very efficient w...

Re: Transparent Menu & Panel
Thanks!,
Sometimes just searching the answer to a simple question (Transparent menu) ends up teaching you much more.
Today I just learned how to modify the themes

Re: Firefox Sound only working if I play something else in another application
Thanks, Booting with the Mint 20 Cinnamon ISO I got the same problem. Booting with Mint 19 Cinnamon ISO, I didn't have the problem. This points to an update I had already checked with pavucontrol. I selected the right sinks. I will try deleting files under .config, but given that the Live CD shows t...

Firefox Sound only working if I play something else in another application
I think this is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced. If I want to play something in Firefox (youtube, Netflix, other videos) there is no sound through the headset but no problem through HDMI If I pause and start playing something in rhythmbox and continue playing the video, I hear the video sou...

Re: [Unre-Solved]Is Flatpak supposed to take up so much storage space ?
I think in a culture of binary discussions the nuances get lost. It shouldn be all flatpaks/snaps/appimages or all repos. The main reason for things to break is installing something that is not in the official repository. In my case, for most applications I use the apps on the repos, even if they ar...

Re: Linux Mint LXQt 20.* ?
Right now I am evaluating light desktop managers, and my feeling is that XFCE is no longer a light desktop. It has a full functionality but it trashes too much to the HDD. LXQt runs supper smooth. (Both versions on the same computer on an old slow hard drive). It is hard to compare XFCE and LXQt giv...

Re: Why does Linux Mint include Timeshift when the main developer doesn't have the time to maintain it?
1. Why would Linux Mint include his software knowing that bugs will come up if he can't be bothered to fix it? I understand the frustration. However, while this is is common in Free and Open Source software and not a good thing, the alternative with proprietary solutions is usually worst. See, deve...

Re: LinuxMint 19.3 No sound on HDMI. Device shows in pavucontrol as "unplugged" (WORKAROUND FOUND)
Workaround update: After using my solution for a few days, today it failed. I was investigating and found that I had connected a USB camera with a microphone and a USB headset. It seems that when I have these things plugged when I turn on, the Card and device reported for the HDMI change. What I end...

Re: get Error while installing
Boot up to Live Mint with USB/DVD, Menu, Gparted, select your drive/partition, format NTFS. Just beware that reformatting will delete everything you have in Linux, including the data. If what you want is dual boot, use gparted from a live CD/USB to resize the partition, create a new NTFS partition ...

Re: TImeshift question
Either I'm confused or you are confused. Why do you need to delete the current Mint partition? If I Understood correctly you want to have Windows + OldMint + NewMint. Did I understood correctly? Yes, by all means before moving/resizing partitions ensure you have a backup. Other than that, booting fr...
