If using Xfce you can use Alt+F2 to see an Application Finder dialogue box; type browser in the box and hit the Down arrow and it will display a list of apps from which you can click the one you want.

Is this more like the OP's requirement?

Actually my 'launchers' are auto hide vertical panels I always add and then put some app launchers in. Really simple, reliable, does the same thing, who the hell needs dockys? Same here! I have a vertical autohidden panel on the left side of my screen with over 20 launchers in it of my most used ap...

I am a bit suspicious that you will not have resources in the VM that are sufficient to run LMDE4 beta as a VM particularly if you want the cinnamon desktop, which for me running LMDE3 was the case. I manually installed Xfce and removed as much as I could of the cinnamon DE and suddenly the system r...

What happens if you use the simple command vlc or for the cli version command cvlc ? I am wondering if the env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 audacity %F is needed; perhaps the simple commands work fine without that. EDIT: Apologies, I was looking at two threads and added the incorrect application to my sugges...

You should be able to grasp the edge of the toolbox next to the image window and simply drag it to the left to narrow the toolbox or right to widen it.
I am assuming this still occurs in 2.10.18 as it does in earlier versions.

Your problem is most likely the result of Virtualbox using a virtual graphics system, not your nvidia card, but never having had an nvidia card I may be wrong about that. Unless Cinnamon DE is important to you it's likely that you will have much better results using another DE version of Mint such a...

Doesn't Mint have Recovery mode (from the grub menu) to allow access into the user's filesystem just like Ubuntu? Yes. But if you eff around enough rebooting just to log in as root becomes tedious quite fast I can assure you. Which is of course indeed offset if you never want to in the first place,...

... but for what it's worth, with "better" in the sense of "more convenient" I feel it better to set one. Specifically it unlocks the capability to log in as root on a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F1/F6) for example to fix something in your user setup that causes said user to no longer have root acces...

So you are using the OS nouveau driver.
Have a look in the Additional drivers utility to see what is recommended by nvidia for that card; it might be all that's needed.

Like a lot other posters I also have a cheat sheet of useful commands, but more useful than that is to use many aliases where typing a single word or phrase can be a shortcut for a long complicated command. As I said in a recent post my .bash_aliases file contains 40 or 50 aliases which saves me a l...

I have used the developer's version of Win7 and Win10 for updating my satnav device without problems in Virtualbox and even still have a WinXP.

If you have a smartphone using Android (probably iOS as well but I don't know Apple hardware so could be wrong) there are many Satnav packages available which use Open Street Maps. I have used one of them, MapFactor Navigator, in many countries worldwide without any problems, all completely free of ...

I may have missed it in your spec but what graphics driver do you use, and do you use the radeon or nvidia graphics?

Graphics driver is this one: Device-1: NVIDIA GK106 [GeForce GTX 660]

That is the card, not the driver; show us the output of lspci -k, which will show drivers.

For long and complicated commands look into aliases; I have about 40 or 50 in my .bash_aliases file which make life a lot easier.

When you say "conky script" are you simply referring to the .conkyrc configuration file in your home or do you use another config file? Does conky run OK when you start it from terminal? Does conky close properly when you Ctrl+C in terminal to kill the running process? Try starting it with command c...

As a Plexmediaserver user I am pretty sure this will be a permissions problem. Unfortunately I do not have nor use any NAS so I don't know how that is mounted, nor what permissions any files sitting on the NAS will have. Can you mount the NAS in your home somewhere? That may allow PMS to see and str...

This could be linked to the fairly recent problem that arose with "streamlink" which used to work for live streaming of all BBC TV channels and all of ITV's as well. Then suddenly BBC stopped working completely for any of its channels, and ITV stopped for ITV1, though the other numbered ITV channels...
