Hi. MATE Panel - The MATE Weather Applet is no longer working (both inside the Calendar Applet and the Weather Report Applet itself) So far I have tried this: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/clock-applet-has-stopped-showing-weather-information/22013 Problem not fixed. Any help would be greatly appre...

Found the official link for the Mint 21.2 BETA:

Mint 21.1 just before X-Mass 2022, some 2 months after the release of Ubuntu 22.10 Mint 21.1 is based on Ubuntu 22.04. It's not related to Ubuntu 22.10 so the release of Ubuntu 22.10 is not relevant to any timing for Mint 21.1. And the BETA is usually released just a few days before the official re...

I was hoping the BETA would come quicker. I guess it comes shortly before the release? I wanted to directly install 21.2 instead of 21.1. Gone are the good old days when Mint released like clockwork, just like Ubuntu. Ubuntu's cycle was April-October, Mint's was May-November, just one month later. ...

Here's a couple of guides, the Arch wikis are particularly good: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Plank https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/12/a-guide-to-using-plank-dock-on-linux.html @Hoser Rob I've seen both, they just give out general instructions, with some details.

Plank's not too bad but with Plank you can't add a document to the dock - not without creating your own .desktop file manually, which is time consuming and fiddly. Whereas adding documents with cairo-dock is very straight forward. ......... Would anyone disagree? @akemp77 Buddy, I'll have to disagr...

There is a Debian network install from a minimal image allowing to install only a base system or skip it altogether, or choose to install any DE, no snap involved. Thanks for your reply. I have not done any extensive research on the subject, but I'm guessing that it is possible to add the Linux Min...

NEWSFLASH: I FOUND THE CULPRIT... It's a damn file, locate in " /usr/share/linuxmint/adjustments " and called " 15-mint-logos.overwrite " So this little Mo-Fo screws things up at every boot, by overriding my settings... Here is its content: /usr/share/mint-artwork/logos/16.png /...

[...] It's incorrect, at least normally in Linux, that "all partitions marked to be used by the new installation become owned by the user" , such as '/', '/boot', '/home', '/var', etc. The way you worded that was ambiguous though, so I don't know if by "user" you meant the initi...

Who owns the filesystem is usually down to the person who formatted it, unless otherwise specified. Since formatting a partition ordinarily requires 'root' access, filesystems will then be owned by 'root'. Some programs may do things differently, such as changing ownership of the filesystem after t...

If there is one thing I hate about GUI installed Linux Distros, is the fact that no matter what, you still end up with bloatware and stuff installed by the Distro Maintainers that you don't actually want or need. I don't mean to sound pompous, or to ruffle any feathers here, but that is why I love A...

I read the previous post, from January 2022, so I will try to be as clear as possible here, to avoid any ill-will and confusion... Besides Gentoo and Arch who both have a strictly CLI type installation, where you start from nothing and build something, there are other Distros that do offer a minimal...

@gregbeyer

You're welcome, buddy.
Glad it worked out for you...

A link directly to a specific folder would be really helpful (maybe use custom application launcher?) Very easy... Right click on panel. Choose Add to Panel, Custom Application Launcher. Provide a path to whatever folder you want displayed in the Command field. Example: /usr/bin/caja /PATH/TO/FOLDE...

Not a Linux Mint MATE problem... It has to do with the phone and the communication speed between phone and PC. I get the same issue almost always, especially when lots of pics/videos are stored in the phone. Once you copy a file to your PC (and by the way, never store stuff on your Desktop, use a fo...
