Re: Super key + number shortcut (solved)

alejandrotch, You are welcome, glad it worked out for you with Linux Mint Xfce. I got to wondering about Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Some shortcut keys are assigned as part of the installation but they are not assigned automatically when applications are placed on the panel. You can manually assign shortcut keys...

In Gparted, select the partition to check and then click "Partition" from the menubar, and then click "Check".

Re: Gufw firewall not working

After you bring up gufw, do the command "dmesg" from a terminal window. I am using Linux Mint 18.3 and this is what I get in dmesg after bringing up gufw. nf_conntrack: default automatic helper assignment has been turned off for security reasons and CT-based firewall rule not found. Use th...

If so, did you use the same user id as the previous install? Without more information, I am guessing it maybe a configuration fil...

Re: Gufw firewall not working

You might try running gufw from a terminal window. That way it may show error or warning messages to help determine the problem.
