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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Thanks, I think I'll do Patreon

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 ...

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...

If you did set up timeshift, it is actually quite simple https://itsfoss.com/backup-restore-linux-timeshift/ Go to the "Restoring when you can’t log into your Linux system" section. If you don't have timeshift configured you have two options: 1. If you have spent hours and hours configurin...

I use mainly Chrome cast, casting from my android phone (by far the easiest solution) and Play Station 3 which has Netflix, YouTube, Prime and other applications. I also used to have a smart TV with them and still have an old LG blu ray player that has Netflix and YouTube. I may donate it once I fee...

The best solution I have found is to use the NoMachine NX. http://NoMachine.com While it's proprietary, it's protocols are not so there are FOSS implementations, for example http://opennx.net/ https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:newtox2go It is super easy to set up, full featured and really fast comp...

Do you want help with this, or did you just want to vent? You posted in the Support area but there is no question or system information. Unless the topic was moved, I see it is in the non technical questions forum and it has a question. My answer to the open letter is: it's ready for prime time. Wh...

I searched the website and forums and didn't find an answer: From the LM perspective, what is the most preferred way to receive regular money contributions? (Wether it's less fees, more certainty of income, etc) I've contibuted before and was thinking starting a regular payments, but I wonder if it ...
