Linux Mint Forums

Thank you for offering to provide the project with hardware for testing! This is much appreciated and yes it would be very useful for testing in the team. Give me a minute to figure out where to send to and I'll contact you by email for further arrangements.

Should no longer be happening since this month. Did you still have that problem with Firefox 130, about 4 days ago.

The Mint team doesn't skip Firefox releases for that reason AFAIK. What has happened a couple of times a .2 minor patch release followed so soon after a .1 minor patch release, the .1 build was aborted and Mint started the .2 build instead to deliver that sooner. This also ties in with Firefox &...

The .profile file adds the ~/bin directory to your PATH, if it exists. The .profile is part of the login so all you should need to do is log out and log back in.

iwlwifi is the Intel driver for your wifi chip. The log shows it's hung the CPU core it is running on. You could as a first step try disabling power saving mode with this command and then reboot: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2405290#p2405290 sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/c...

The remember me login keys do not expire. If you ticked "remember me" your login session will invalidate when the cookie is deleted or your IP address changes. So if you're behind a proxy or using a VPN or such, or traveling with a laptop, that may explain why you need to login anew. If yo...

It's possible to use NTFS if for some reason you can't use a normal filesystem, but it requires correctly setting up the mount so that you own the files on it and they are executable (as NTFS doesn't support normal filesystem permissions, you must fake these through the mount configuration). Here's ...

If it starts happening again please add system info. Open the System Reports program, go to System Information on the left and then bottom right click the Copy button and paste it in a reply here. When at your point 3, when the system completely freezes, is there anything that still works? Can you s...

Disk Usage Analyzer doesn't work well with home directory encryption (ecryptfs), it's a known issue that it reports disk usage incorrectly for that. I don't think Cinnamon empties the trash automatically so you have to manually empty it, or selectively permanently delete files from it. I agree you w...

That shows the text file was saved with Windows line endings. You should save it instead with Linux line endings. Windows uses 2 control characters for that, Linux only 1. That \r in the error is that extra control character. I assume whichever IDE you're using has an option for which line endings t...

This is about firmware. Scroll further down to the firmware section.

If you open a terminal in the directory where you have that Python file, and you run it there with command ./filename.py (so ./ in front of the filename) does it run fine that way?

No OS needed. It's an ISO download. Get it, write to a USB thumb drive and boot the computer from it. That will start the firmware updater and you can choose which devices to update.

Might there be a way to export a list of apps from the menu, or from whatever the menu uses to list apps? That is a possibility. As you noted this excludes most CLI apps. System packages with a menu launcher typically install a .desktop file to /usr/share/applications/ . If you edit your menu or fo...

The short answer is: no. The longer answer. The system package manager only knows about system packages, it doesn't know which of them are apps and which are OS components. You can run apt list --installed to get a list of all installed system packages. You probably have some two thousand. Obviously...

Does anyone on here have a new generation Paperwhite or Kindle? If you do how do you find them? Last year my old Kindle gave up the ghost after 12+ years of service. After some consideration, I replaced it with a normal Kindle (Kindle 11 from 2022). I've been very happy with it. One of my considera...

This looks to be due to Debian's migration to 64-bit time in all libraries: https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time. Ubuntu 24.04, on which Linux Mint 22 is based, is following that migration (a bit haphazardly maybe). libqt5core5t64 is the same library (though a newer version) but rebuilt f...

There's nothing wrong. It's just the apt package management tool isn't very user friendly. Ign here means the InRelease file wasn't found but that's ignored as you can see 2 lines down it finds the Release file for the same repository and uses that instead. If there were an error, apt would clearly ...

Thanks for reporting! The official chat rooms are on Matrix now, as you can see there in the Links menu. The IRC link on the Get Involved page was missed, we'll correct it shortly.

In the Links menu you can find the link to IRC and we already switched to KiwiIRC some time back.
