Re: Kernel Drama Around Rust Devs

And can you tell us, you the last surviving Torvalds true believers, what Torvalds actually says about Rust? He gave the green light for allowing Rust into kernel, no? Ever since he did that every time I hear him talking about Rust he sounds increasingly positive. See here , read here , his latest ...

Translators: check both captain and aptkit

There are two new translatable Mint packages: Captain and aptkit. The translation work needed for Captain is clear: untranslated strings are immediately apparent. Not so for aptkit: even if it shows no untranslated strings on Launchpad, the existing imported(?) translations definitely need attention...

Re: Any way to not have a password?

The root password is essential for root permissions. But it doesn't need to be as secure (long) as your average website password, as it stays local. It's therefore "only" vulnerable for local attacks. Furthermore, after the first spell of tweaking and customizing, you typically only need t...

Re: Monthly News – August 2024

I appreciate nothing is perfect and there will always be some bugs when "upgrading" from one LM version to another. I also appreciate LM 22 itself and its previous versions is very, very good. But to try and pretend the upgrade is high quality is a nonsense IMHO. I said nothing about the ...

Can we please keep all gibberish about gender, age, race, sexual preferences and all such modern hysterical bollocks out of this forum? Good God. :shock:

If Torvalds says Rust is inferior bad technology, I believe him.

Sure. But if you want to radically destroy the entire security system of your Linux like that: why did you switch to Linux in the first place? :wink:

Verwijder de nieuwere systeemkern. Wanneer-ie weer opduikt in Bijwerkbeheer: rechtsklik muis - Negeer alle huidige en toekomstige actualiseringen voor dit pakket.

Re: Geen wifi meer na update

Nee. Wat ook kan: zet een momentopname van Timeshift terug van vóór de installatie van het nieuwe WiFi-stuurprogramma. Maak dan weer de uitschakeling van Bluetooth ongedaan. Vervolgens zou je alle actualiseringen weer gewoon moeten kunnen installeren, zonder nadelige gevolgen. En wat natuurlijk ook ...

Re: LM22 - Which Java to download for use with JDownloader

If I was to install the "default-jre" in LM22, would that be the equivalent risk to the default installed version on LM21.3, or would it better because it's a newer version? Same risk, because the openJDK in Mint 21.x should also get security updates, just like the openJDK in Mint 22. Abo...

Re: Geen wifi meer na update

Kun je vanuit het grubmenu een vorige systeemkern opstarten om te kijken of dat helpt? Dat dus. :) Te vinden onder Geavanceerd. Overigens lijkt het me een nasleep van je eerdere problemen met Bluetooth; je hebt toen, als ik me goed herinner, een ander stuurprogramma geïnstalleerd dat niet "mee...

Download the Xfce edition of Mint 22, create a bootable USB stick with it and use it to boot into the live session. Do you experience the same behaviour?
