I'm running Linux Mint 20.1 Xfce 4.14.2
I'm trying to install Banshee, but when I try to add the PPA
I get

Cannot add PPA: ''This PPA does not support focal''.

How can I remedy this issue?

But what could possibly cause that? I haven't changed any settings for several months.

I'm running Linux Mint 19.1 xfce. The problem occurred when I logged out of a username into the gui login screen. Screen went black, underscore cursor blinking in the top left corner of the screen. I cannot type or do anything on this screen. I can switch to other screens (ctrl+alt+F1-F6). I tried r...

I want to setup two launchers, one to disable the screen saver and one to enable. looking through the man page I see the option -mode So I would guess that... xscreensaver -mode off xscreensaver -mode one ...should work, but I'm getting syntax errors. So what am I missing? https://www.commandlinux.c...

Thank you so much altair4, real simple, worked perfectly.

Quick question though, in step 4...
Why add "windows_names"?

Thank you, I appreciate the input.

Dual boot Linuxmint 19.1 xfce / windows 10 home OS's are installed on SSD There's a shared HDD formatted to NTFS connected to SATA (named Storage) Linux is setup with two users, an admin, and a desktop user.

Linuxmint 19.1 xfce In the past, I've checked "save session for future logins" on the shutdown screen. I now have unchecked it, but it's still reopening applications when I restart. How do I "reset" so that I can start up with a fresh login (without reinstall or creating new user)?

So a little bit of googling around leads me to believe I need to downgrade the driver from r8169 to r8168. From the sound of it the newer driver is somewhat unstable. So I downloaded the older driver from GitHub. https://github.com/airium/Realtek-PCIe-GBE-NIC-Driver Problem now is the commands given...

I'm running a new install of 19.3 xfce. After startup Ethernet doesn't work (though it sees that there's an available connection) and it cannot connect to WiFi (even though it sees available networks). If I click on either option, it just times out.

Ok, so I narrowed it down to the OS and probably not hardware. Linuxmint 18 (xfce 64) runs without problem in regards to switching inputs/restarting the TV. Linuxmint 18.3 (xfce 64) seems to be the culprit. How can I revert the video settings of 18.3 back to 18? Edit:. I would just use 18, but in th...

The issue I'm having is when I power on the computer/TV, initially everything works perfectly. But if I restart the TV or switch inputs then all of a sudden there's no signal. Unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable back in does nothing, the only way to get a signal back is restarting the computer ...

Ok, so I found out that if I open /etc/apt/sources.list in gedit (run as admin) and change it from: deb http://mirror.devnu11.net/linuxmint/ julia main upstream import deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-up...

That didn't work. I went down the list trying maybe half of the servers listed, but after reloading I got the same error.

So I recently reinstalled mint 10 on my netbook, but when I try to install anything from the repos I get an error. I don't want to update to a newer mint, I've tried and it doesn't handle as smoothly as 10. But I am curious as to why it doesn't work anymore. The error is as follows: sudo apt-get ins...

Humor me for a moment, you copied and pasted everything literally ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I had a good laugh with that. I might be a n00b, but I'm not a N00B! Yes I removed the ellipses. ;) That and this time I tried changing it to bash, which worked... well enough. I was hoping to have the command p...

2. From Nautilus (the file manager) double-click the script, and choose Run as Script (IIRC). This shows you the output, but the terminal closes once the script finishes. So add a line at the end of your script to pause for user input: read -p "Press enter to continue..." -s It doesn't sh...

This question has two parts to it. I've typed out a simple script that I'll run (not every time) when I boot into the GUI, but I'm running into a few hiccups. First part is that none of the outputs of these commands show up in terminal, not even cd. So I was wondering what I need to add to the scrip...

thank you, I appreciate your help.
