Ok should work - I've just set up a little test profile - same user but two different identity files (actually one is a copy of the the other) Same user . . . not what I am after In nemo's Connect to server dialog I just type default or test in the Server entry and hit connect - it works just fine....

I'm guessing IT admins would be more likely to be using the command line for those kind of activities, and then then would presumably SSH into a sudo enabled admin account or just root so they can act as any user on the host post logging in .... That's how I would do it anyway, and seems a lot simp...

Hi @xenopeek that doesn't mean somebody else can't set up a PPA or a repo on openSUSE Build Service for example and have those build .deb packages of the software. The straw that broke this camel's back?! Today I am dealing with trying to install dosbox -staging (a more contemporary version of dosbo...

Hi @smurphos I think you probably need to specify the paths to your your per host IdentityFiles in a manually created ~/.ssh/config or in /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/some-file.conf Thanks for the suggestion. I will muck around with this. The problem is that even if this works (a solid assumption given wha...

Hi @xenopeek: Nick on the Linux Experiment just did a video on why he thinks flatpak is the future of Linux application distribution . Worth a watch. And I don't recall if Nick mentioned this but GNOME are funding the development on flathub to make it possible for developers to get paid for their ap...

Hi @Pjotr if it can't be done the way it should, it should be done the way it can. A nice line! Also a tautology of pragmatism! :wink: Keep in mind: at least some people need to tilt against windmills from time to time so that things eventually come closer to the way things "should" work.

Earlier today I responded to another thread regarding video editors which made me think about ApppImage -- and unfortunately about Snap . First, I want to again thank Clem and team for taking a strong stand against this Snap monstrosity pushed by Canonical! That said, I am concerned that Snap actual...

Hi @racer-x it's hard to beat Natron. https://natrongithub.github.io/ You'll need to learn Node Editing to use it, but it has many professional features. I'm not a fan of Node Editing so I don't use Natron or Blender to edit videos. Thanks for pointing out Natron. Looks polished and cool! I'll have ...

Try Olive video editor . Even the Alpha version of 0.2 is awesome and quite stable. It is distributed as nightly AppImage which to me is a much preferred alternative to the nightmare that is "Snap." If Olive keeps going, in a few years there will be something pro-grade and akin to a comple...

I also strongly dislike the only-top-corners-rounded default of Mint-Y. Hopefully Clem and co will reconsider. This is the first time I have any real "gripe" with the (otherwise) elegance of Mint. Thanks for pointing out a solution. It all has me thinking of trying KDE again (which I have ...

One of the things I really love about SSH is that OpenSSH-Server (and others, I believe) automatically "expose" the file system for secure, ad-hoc file transfer without needing to setup Samba, (S)FTP, or similar. As SSH "best" practices generally call for passwordless connection ...

I need the rotation lock feature available in newer versions of scrcpy , a tethered, "remote" control software for Android. [ The LinuxMint software manager offers only scrcpy 1.12 which is old . . .] So I downloaded scrcpy and scrcpy-server 1.17 (.deb files) which are the most up-to-date ...

I wonder if there is a method for the OP to reload the e-mail from his computer to the server? I know of no easy method to do that in most cases. It is definitely possible to copy (or move) from any "local" folders back to an IMAP account. My advice to people is to use IMAP for "curr...

I'll keep working through that interesting help document a bit later this evening. When I checked dpkg --get-selections, something interesting had flashed by, so I "dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall" which resulted in libqmi-glib1:amd64 deinstall libreoffice-style-tango deinstall lin...

Hi @Flemur: I ran that installer as root (yeah, I know) and AFAIK it didn't install anything, certainly not the pico* thing (which was marked for Debian). I already have the audio packages, you probably do, too. Yes, I have some of the packages installed already. I didn't pay attention to picotts (t...

Hi @Pierre: can you now try using Package Manager aka synaptic, - Edit - Fix Broken Packages then click on the Apply icon at the Top of the screen ( it should now be Not greyed out ) to see if anything extra is downloaded & then Installed. I just did this (again, after various other updates over...

Hi @Flemur: You might have a package locked (set to not update) - you can check that with synaptic (probably also apt/etc though I don't know how). It is not immediately apparent to see what might be locked. I will mess around with Synaptic a bit -- this seems like a good idea. Also, I could run tha...

Hi @Flemur: What are you doing to "install" that creates the "unmet dependencies" message? Is that from running ./install-icon.sh ? Because that script just: "# Installs shortcut to the browser on the desktop" Yes, I am running install-icon.sh as indicated in the instru...

& then use the sudo apt-get upgrade after that.

Thanks Pierre, but I have already done that!
