Linux Mint Forums

Hi Everyone, I've been trying to force myself to adapt to new commands instead of relying on old habits. The latest is transitioning from using "ifconfig" to using the newer "ip" command as part of the iproute2 package. I have to admit. I am really struggling with this transition...

Hi Everyone, Posting here in case anyone has had the same issue. I've recently noticed that my HP laserjet which used to duplex just fine, no longer does. Unfortunately I don't know exactly when it stopped working. The printer is networked via wired ethernet, and I am running Mint 21.3 (Cinnamon edi...

Hey everyone, It looks like I might have misunderstood how /etc/exports works for a seriously long time. Like over a decade. Hoping someone can maybe clear it up for me. For the longest time I have been adding entries in /etc/exports as follows: #Export share folder to all clients: /zfshome/share 10...

I don't understand why this exchange has taken such a confrontational turn. Your title talks about a " problem" literally in the topic title. Yes, but if you read the entire post, I'm pointing towards what seems to be a linux-wide issue right now, not a tech support request for myself. You...

So, just because I was curious, I went and repeated the same tests on an older Xeon workstation I use for backup purposes. (Dual Socket Xeon E5-2697 v2, 24C/48T Ivy Bridge era, base 2.7, Turbo 3.5, 256GB DDR3-1600 ECC RDIMMS) This issue is replicated there. Same transfer of file, high CPU load, and ...

Mint isn't a " Desktop". Mint is a distribution. Cinnamon, Mate, XFCE are desktops I'm well aware thank you. It was just a case of fingers faster than brain. Sorry that bothered you. inxi -v8 Doesn't give all the details. Follow the steps in how to get help , step 5, 2nd dot aka bulletin ...

Recently I copied a large file from one NVMe drive to another, and I happened to have htop open in a console window during the operation. What I noticed was that nemo was using 86% of one core just for the copy process. This is on a Threadripper 3960x, so we are talking zen2 cores with a max boost o...

The 'noauto' parameter tells SystemD not to mount at system startup, but to do it on demand (when accessing the mount directory). I don't know if removing it will return the icons to normal. Appreciate it, but removing this had no effect. Look, I don't even know how to spell NFS but if you add the ...

Since the network device is being raised by SystemD, I would do the same with the network mount from 'fstab' by adding x-systemd.automount to your line: 12.34.56.78:/storage/folder /mnt/storage/folder/ nfs noauto,nofail,x-systemd.automount,_netdev,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576 0 0 So, this worked, bu...

Hi Everyone, So, I'm having a new problem. For the longest time I've been mounting NFS shares from my server to my workstation, using the following sanitized fstab entries that look something like this: 12.34.56.78:/storage/folder /mnt/storage/folder/ nfs rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,rw These were sh...

You could see if the Nvidia-525 works better for you. If I am recalling correctly, I think the problems started for many people with the Nvidia-530 driver. Unfortunately this did not resolve the issue. (It also has resulted in a couple of instances of Cinnamon crashing to fallback mode, so I am pro...

Hmm. That's a shame that it does not work with hardware cursors. Does this have any noticeable side effects though? Or once you tell it to use software cursors is it just fine? Also, does the 7600 work with the versions of the kernel and MESA currently in the repository, or is a PPA necessary to get...

Still think the RX 6600 card is a good option. Looked at the RX 7600. It doesn't appear to be much of an upgrade and yet uses more power. https://videocardz.net/amd-radeon-rx-7600 The 7600 is a slight upgrade. TDP is the same. I think the big deal is the addition of AV1 hardware decoding, that I am...

The other possibility if it sometimes works and sometimes does not is maybe the issue is cable related. I dual boot this machine with Windows, and this never happens under Windows (under either 10 or 11) so I suspect that isn't the case. And I sure hope it isn't either, as this is a little bit of a...

You could see if the Nvidia-525 works better for you. If I am recalling correctly, I think the problems started for many people with the Nvidia-530 driver. Interesting. I had not heard of these issues with the Nvidia drivers. I will try rolling back and seeing if that helps. I was concerned maybe m...

Please share your system info by going to: Menu/System Reports/System Information/click "Copy" and pasting it here. (You can use the command inxi -Fxxxmprz on the Terminal.) Thank you for your reply. Sure thing, please find the detaisl below: System: Kernel: 6.2.0-34-generic x86_64 bits: ...

If the OLED screen has this option, try to do an auto calibration with the built-in menu. Most screens have buttons to initiate this. It may solve the problem. Thank you for your reply, but this is not a screen centering issue. I can capture it in screenshots as well. At first I thought it was an i...
