Linux Mint Forums

Thanks, Jamie. I have spent several days trying to find a solution and it is as simple as a carriage return!

I'm not sure what is going on. Do you think glitchpeg is installed? See if any sign of glitchpeg is in /etc/xdg/autostart/. If so, post the contents of that file. No sign in /etc/xdg/autostart/. Glitchpeg is installed as a component of xscreensaver-data-extra , presumably by default in Mint. What I...

This was my experience: Installation of zoom on laptop resulted in other packages being added. Problem from ibus resulting in keyboard changed to US English. Option to add UK English and move to top but this did not change keyboard. I used Mint settings to change back to UK English keyboard. Also ic...

So, I have discovered that glitchpeg is a package within xscreensaver-data-extra. The question is why is it referenced in terminal printout when installing an unrelated package using dpkg? Is this normal or is it caused specifically by the package being installed?

In /usr/share/applications/screensavers/ there is a file glitchpeg.desktop. What is its function? I ask because when installing an application (notecase pro) using dpkg a message appears stating that it is not possible to parse glitchpeg.desktop.
However,the installation proceeds without error.

I have seen this behaviour occasionally , but it is not only in Firefox. Yesterday it happened using Xviewer. It happened in LM 20 and LM 20.1.

If you get the "Burn mode is not currently implemented" message when using Xfburn the solution is in this thread viewtopic.php?f=47&t=339720 (thanks to all41.)

I assume we are referring to a recent post by a prominent individual at Mozilla making what is presumably a personal political view about social media which she might wish to be a collective Mozilla view. I find it hard to see this affecting the nature of software (Firefox or Thunderbird) which is a...

I take your point,Moem, but in this case the only issue was my failing eyesight.

I have deleted this message which was made in error.

What about those of us who aren't interested in breeding, but are interested in being in a relationship? Do we not exist?

Yes! I am happily married to one.

This was an issue in LM 20 Mate. Occasionally there are 2 volume icons and I have also seen 2 network icons. This does not affect performance and the surplus icons disappear on next boot. I decided to live with it.

Thanks, all41. That fixed it.

After a fresh install on one computer and an upgrade on another there is an issue with XFburn.
When attempting to do a burn XFBurn reports "Burn mode is not currently implemented."

I predict that the word "jab" will be among the most used words in the English language in 2021.

The font size in the Update Manager Applying Changes Window is too small. Is there a way to increase the size of this font?

One detail, which looks fishy to me, is that here in this thread the new mintdrivers version is 1.5.0. But my machine received 1.5.1 only today. (LM 19.3) P.S.: $ dpkg --list mintdrivers mintsystem ||/ Name Version Architektur Beschreibung +++-=============================-===================-=====...

In Synaptic check if you have wine32:i386 installed. If not, install it.

Apparently not so I have reinstalled Mint.
