I have the same issue with Flatpak version 3.2.3 (in Mint 21.1) in that Audacity appears to be installed, but it never loads. "Running ... not responding" is also what I see. I also tried the command line suggested by MikeNovember to no avail (yes, I read up on Flatpak, but the integration...

It's unfortunate that this question comes up in the "newbie" section, implying something that may not be true. My attempt to shutdown -h failed. The timer ran out and nothing changed. I eventually used the power button. Now, hours later, I have booted and successfully shutdown via the menu...

Also having this problem just now for the first time -- but with a 64-bit version of Cinnamon that has been functioning perfectly for months up until now. I just installed the amd64 version of WPS Office, tinkered with it a bit, and tried to shutdown. Instead, it merely logged out and returned to th...

In a subsequent installation I performed the same operation on the hidden gnome2 directory. That also fixed the problem.

I've been around the forum in search of a solution to "firefox won't launch" -- and making the error of trying "sudo firefox". The solution I found is related to "deleting the .cache directory" but doesn't go quite that far. All I did was to sudo chown -R user:user mozi...

Can't say how strongly I agree. It is the bane of KDE! Always getting in the way, blocking wireless configuration, confounding it. I wish it would go away forever. Sure enought, now, somebody will declare it useful. Then download it and install it and use it; but don't make us all suffer by making i...

Instead of clicking the Infinity thingy (Activities), move the cursor to the upper left of it -- alll the way to the corner of the screen -- and you see a radar effect that toggles between Activities and the Desktop. Thus, you can get to "Window," "Activities," and the side panel...

I have installed the 64-bit RC and notice 3 things that are a little frustrating: 1. The Cantarell font that is indicated in Advanced Settings (aka Gnome Tweak Tool) as default for the Desktop and for window title bars is not installed on the system by default, so what you get is a Helvetia/Arial-lo...

I am unable to shutdown or reboot with Mint 11 RC. I have to use Alt+SysRq+REISUB. It's the same with the Unity desktop in Ubuntu 11.04, so it must be an upstream issue. I don't see a reference to this issue in the "known problems." [Edit] Found that the issue persists in Ubuntu and Mint w...

Thanks, tenfoot, but, if I understand what your shortcut does, it's not exactly what I need. To that point there is a quickstarter feature if you install the Debian version of LO or OOo from the website -- but not if you use the Ubuntu PPA. Clicking that quickstarter tray icon will open a core LO/OO...

The forum at openoffice.org confirms my doubt:

I guess confirmed doubt is better than unconfirmed....

Anyone know whether it is possible to establish separate working directories for OOo Writer, OOo Calc, OOo Impress, OOo Base? I've been happy to set a path (in Tools --> Options) that has a suite-wide directory -- forcing me to drill down to subdirectories for word-processing, spreadsheets, and pres...

Self-built, 2-year old desktop AMD Athlon 6000+ dual core 4 MB RAM Asus M3A78-EM system board ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics made by XFX Nice work on this KDE Mint 10 x86_64 RC. Here are some observations: 1. As with all other distros I've hopped (Mandriva, Kubuntu, Fedora, and a stellar Pardus 2011) A...

At a minimum, making the bottom border a few pixels wide (as it was previously) at least makes it easy to grab a bottom corner of a window resize.... I also "vote" for this as an issue that makes it very difficult to resize a window. It seems this issue was fixed with an update to the Min...

At a minimum, making the bottom border a few pixels wide (as it was previously) at least makes it easy to grab a bottom corner of a window resize.... I also "vote" for this as an issue that makes it very difficult to resize a window. I like the minimalist look of Mint-X, but I have change...

I pulled the video card and installed Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit, using the latest nVidia driver for the built-in graphics adapter. The configuration of Remote Desktop was successful, working without a hitch after I removed the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. So, even though it's not Mint, it is the distribut...

I have been using as a server an MSI K9N6GM mainboard with 1 MB RAM installed, nVidia nForce 410 mainboard chipset, nVidia GeForce MCP61 built-in graphics (which I recently have replaced with a PNY Vector GeForce 9400 GT video card with 512 MB RAM), and an AMD Sempron 2800+ processor. For about the ...

Sorry, I am at a loss. It sounds as if the problem is not with Mint but with the NAS.

Nick, if you use the "Network Servers" item (select the "Network" checkbox in Preferences --> mintDesktop), can you see the server and browse its folders? I have a fresh Gloria install and have added smbfs (using Synaptic). I can browse the network folders using Nautilus. It soun...

Yes xorg.conf is less and less important Add Driver "intel" in Section "Device" - it could make a difference but probably not... So video is handled more at the kernel level now? I've added Driver "Intel" and will see how it goes. Thanks for your multiple responses and...
