RichardXXX,
Try the Vivaldi browser which works with Amazon Prime and does not include the objectionable Google stuff.

Is the mail from the "family address" delivered to a "special email account"? If so this account may have been set up to store mail in Bulk unlike the others which are stored separately in their own folders.

Thanks gm10. I'll bear that in mind.

gm10, I checked and software sources does not run from mintmenu and produces the same errors in logs. However, like Timeshift, it works from Menu Bar which I have on a top panel. AUTH.

Sounds like a double forking bug with your menu. What happens if you change your menu entry's command to timeshift-launcher?

That makes no difference. Clearly the menu entry is correct because it runs from any source other than mintmenu.

On one of my computers, after upgrade to 19.3 Mate, Timeshift does not run from the default menu on the bottom panel. If I create an icon for Timeshift on the panel it does run. It also runs from the menu bar I have on the top panel. These log entries appear to be associated with the problem: ENTRY ...

The certificate problem is back (at least in the UK.) Is it the Sucuri issue again?

Switched on this morning and no problem at community.linuxmint.com or blog.linuxmint.com . Certificates are as expected. Unless something has been tweaked server end the cause remains a mystery.

The same problem exists at https://blog.linuxmint.com because the certificate is issued to the main domain linuxmint.com not the subdomain blog.linuxmint.com . This is what browsers do not like. Of course, it can be overridden by creating a security exception but it is probably disconcerting to some...

The certificate does not match the subdomain and is therefore rejected by browsers.

I confirm what jean.jordaan reported using Firefox and Vivaldi. It is still common to find subdomains sharing a certificate of the main domain but browsers complain. One can of course accept the risk and continue to the site, and I do this for sites I trust where there is no financial risk. The ques...

I recently copied a PDF file with added bookmarks to a new location and found that the bookmarks were not copied. However, if the file is moved the bookmarks are retained. Obviously, there are occasions when I want to copy a PDF with bookmarks. Is this a bug with xviewer?

I do not understand why you felt it was necessary to try setting a new location and name for the FF profile. Why do you use a "special directory"? Check in /yourusername/.mozilla/firefox and see that profiles.ini points to the name of the profile in that directory. If everything appears correct you ...

Hello HAWR, I'm sure there are others too. I mainly use Firefox but I am particularly impressed at present with Vivaldi although it does not provide the same fine cookie control I like in Firefox. Also, I have always been impressed by its founder, Jon von Tetzchner , way back to the good old days of...

Reports suggest this has been fixed in cups 2.2.8. Hopefully this will appear in Ubuntu repositories soon and will be available in Update Manager..

Well. that was quick. Problem solved now so Amazon must have done something.

Suddenly today Amazon Prime videos are not playing for me in Firefox 67.0.4 and show this error: Video Unavailable We're experiencing a problem playing this video. For assistance, please go to www.amazon.co.uk/videohelp. The same problem occurs with Vivaldi browser so I suspect the problem is at Ama...

Following advice from Clem I have now successfully updated wine. See end of this thread for details

Hi Clem, As you suggested I updated wine and then ran sudo apt install wine installer Updated wine now works as expected. BEFORE UPDATE OF WINE ~ $ dpkg -l | grep wine ii libwine:amd64 3.0-1ubuntu1 amd64 Windows API implementation - library ii libwine:i386 3.0-1ubuntu1 i386 Windows API implementatio...

I used Timeshift to roll back and then install updates except wine. That fixed it. I have blacklisted wine in Update Manager as the update is clearly broken.
