Solution I have found is; Install and use Dolphin as your file manager. 10 times faster than Nemo, and Thumbnails continue to work for the past 10+ years. It also has preview features for folders that nemo never had (or any other fle manager). Preview feature I'm talking about is if a video is in a ...

All these above posts are 6 years old however here it is 6 years later December 2022 and Linux Mint release 20.2 the same bug has resurfaced. It use to work in prior releases but not know. What happened to quality assurance and regression testing with these developers? Seems like it all went out the...

Option two from user Brufi is the correct answer. I had the same issue on linux mint 20.2. However since a guest Login cannot do any of the answers, even as suggested to save to external disk which in the case of Guest is also not allowed. So what I did using Brufi's option two example was to login ...

Where is this website located? I noticed the time posted is 2 hrs. later than eastern standard time when I put my post up?

Update 6-25-22 I think It may be the latest Dell BIOS update 16 for m6600 that has a bug. I noticed that even the BIOS logo does not appear on the external HDMI attached screen. This does work with older BIOS on an Dell m4600 and mint 20.3. The HDMI port is not activated untill after Login on the la...

If you are using the Nvidia video drivers try using the open source default drivers. I found Nvidia drivers would only support 1920x1080 period, and would not even support lower Res. or higher, since linux Mint 19 distribution. I have dell laptop 17 extreme processor and m3000 GPU 32Gb Ram

THIS IS ALL THAT IS IN PROFILE BASICALLY NOT MUCH AND CERTAINLY NOT ACCOUNT SETTINGS?
too large to attach. a measly screen print is too big to attach for your forum?

no such option as account settings in my profile as of 06/3/22?
So where is account settings if not in the profile?

My hardware is a dell m6600 i7 extreme, with 32GB Ram. While I have do have NVIDIA Quadro 3000M 2GB I use the open source drivers for the same reason others have given. Nvidia native drivers do not support Resolutions other than 1920x1080. All of these issues worked perfectly on linux mint 18.3 (all...

You do not need the make and model because I told you that Cinnamon 20.2 and 20.3 worked perfect on the same machine. Unless you can tell me what you expect to find when Cinnamon of the same release number as Mate worked and Mate did not, for the reasons I mentioned below. I'll to a test reinstall o...

Did NOT work for me . I first upgrated to kernel 5.11 from (default installed) 5.4. That did NOT work. Then upgraded to latest kernal 5.13. Still does not work. Cinnamon 20.2 works perfect (better programmers I guess doing QA). Even the iso install dvd OS for Mate 20.2 supported my external monitor...

Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon edge edition 64bit A week ago after some updates (I think it was latest kernel update) Xorg now takes about minute or two to start, before updates it was only 5-7 seconds from grub to GUI. Today's update to 20.3 makes things even worse - in addition to long boot-up time now...

I have similar problem on Linux mint 20.3 cinnamon. Web pages do not scroll if mouse is on the page itself. Only the right side scroll bar works with the mouse. Looks like the developers disabled the mouse scroll wheel on webpages and force you to use the scroll bar. Ahole decision on the developers...

Does not work in Linux Mint 20.2 cinnamon, which in my opinion is the worse Mint relese ever. Best was 18.3 Many bugs in Cinnamon 20.2, poor QA testing and 5 times slower booting and shutdown then 18.3. Re-write of the Desktop GUI manager (presumably Nemo) for NO reason yelds; cannot position icons ...

I did all that on linux Mint 20 latest release cinnamon. VLC does not work at all.
Nothing happens when I try to open with VLC no messages?
What have these developers Done?
Zero regression testing?
Mint 18.3 everything works perfect.

linux mint 20 cinnamon does not have file "/etc/enviroment"? my terminal window prompt and all text has a space between each letter? And just now noticed Xviewer copy (right click copy function) just copies the path instead of the picture? I cannot post a picture here from the screen shot?

1-Fixed Wine issue Mint use have a default config. Now you have to find the config option for wine and config it before Wine has an entry in the main menu. 2-Using unaligned desktop still restricting to 5 times the space between icons compared to 18.3. Cannot align icons close to each other. The fix...

I'm staying with Linux Mint 18.3. Mint 20 and Cinnamon almost nothing works properly. 1-Wine does not work at all after installing via synaptic. Just does nothing when trying to execute a windows app No entries exist in the Mint main menu for Wine either? 2-Desktop non aligned icons forces way too m...

The four issues with LM20 I've found to date are: display issues on external monitor to laptop - fixable with xrandr. chromium - well documented with work-arounds. encfs-manager - ppa doesn't support focal. shutter - no longer in repos, but a potential fix (not tried it) with a ppa (post at the end...

That sounds pretty normal to me ... in Linux DEs the file manager is usually highly integrated with the desktop. Even if you were just using one of the ones you added it'd probably never work as well as the one that came with Cinnamon does. This is largely why I don't bother with adding file manage...
