Is it possible to execute a script or action or something similar that will either take the current tab and the next, or both panes in dual pane mode, and send those to meld, or FreeFileSync, or rsync in a terminal, or something similar? The action sample does not mention tabs or panes, and I can't ...

That's your opinion (but the Linux Mint developers don't agree with you.) I know, right? You are absolutely correct. You may not want to use flatpaks and that's fine. But they can be a good solution for other users. Yes, exactly. I look forward to see you on the Ubuntu MOTU / Debian Developers rost...

I guess I'll have to add flatpaks to the things which are inevitable No, we can choose to boycot them. :mrgreen: Flatpaks are, much like Snaps or Windows, not a good solution. Either someone compiles a package for our distribution, or we don't use their software. We find something else. For Telegra...

What I don't understand is why this requires a duplicate, second graphics driver special for flatpaks. Can't the flatpaks use the already existing, available video driver? :?: It's because the flatpaks are supposed to be sandboxed, so flatpak apps don't have access to any system files. But since yo...

The history is constructed from your journal. I discovered this feature and edited my previous post minutes before you posted. I appreciate the feedback though! I found out the data comes from the systemd log . So anyone else can go back further in history like so: sudo journalctl --directory=/time...

flatpak history shows you the history of flatpak operations. This is very convenient! $ flatpak history Time Change Application Branch Installation Remote Dec 31 19:01:22 deploy update org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-435-21 1.4 system flathub Dec 31 19:01:32 deploy update org.freedesktop.Platfor...

No that's not what happened. What happened is that: 1) You installed a flatpak app through Software Manager No that's not what I did. I consciously stay away from all packs. I never even opened the Software Manager. I had even removed the Software Manager, but it came back after upgrading to a newe...

Apparently, that must be how flatpak works. Apparently. But 'how does flatpak work' wasn't the question. I'm trying to assess how smart the current implementation of flatpak is. Because if the answer is "yes, you really need a gigabyte of driver files when you choose a theme from the welcome s...

So do we really need a packagized version of the entire video driver just for a theme offered by Linux Mint? These two are left pinned by my system after I pruned all flatpaks: $ flatpak list Name Application ID Version Branch Installation nvidia-515-86-01 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-515-86-0...

Why do I suddenly I came here to ask about the same thing Same here, I have never used flatpaks [and] all of a sudden, yesterday, a huge barrage of flatpaks get downloaded for my Nvidia Graphics card, and I don't need any of them. So it's annoying and unnecessary. I've opened a bug report: https://...

run flatpak uninstall --unused and recheck for updates with the Update Manager to see what happens. Thanks for the help. This cleans up most of the things! :D Looks like "I" have installed flatpak when the welcome wizard offered me to choose a Mint theme/color. I didn't realize they were ...

As far as I know, I don't use Flatpak. I've never consciously installed a snap or a flatpak. But since I've upgraded from LM 21.0 to 21.1, I keep getting updates for a dozen or so different video drivers that I obviously don't all need, and these updates are very slow. Flatpak updates. Downloading s...

Hi @luc2 good find! Thank you for this. Looks like I was on the right track , but never found the issues you are referring to. It should work but it will break again when the package is updated because the file will be overwritten. In extension of the solution you brought to light, knowing systemd, ...

Thank you for confirming you have the same problem on a fresh installation. I haven't figured out the root cause yet, but at least I won't have to do a fresh installation first to see if the problem is caused by old residual configurations. By the way, do you have any non-default filesystems or encr...

Google brought me here. I have a similar issue. I recently upgraded from Mint 20 to Mint 21, and epsonscan2 does not work anymore. It does start the default dialog when there is no scanner connected, but if the scanner is connected and the program attempts to start, it will throw the same message: &...

I have something similar going on after upgrade to 21. Multiple monitors and screen locker only obscures one monitor on resume from suspend. It appeared initially to be a regression of or similar to Github/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/#204 . Except without manual scaling. In my case the lock scre...

Since Mint 20 (and also after upgrading to Mint 21), pulse audio and the little speaker audio volume indicator at the right of the default panel disappears about 6 - 8 seconds after logging in. This means I can't use audio until I run: systemctl --user restart pulseaudio . However, if the browser is...

Sometimes, the keystrokes just don't show up, other times they show up multiple times. On occasion, the keyboard just freezes for minutes at a time This is definitely a different issue. This is about that 40ms lag between hitting a key and the character appearing. Would you try to unplug your keybo...

You did not mention it in the previous posts and the small hint in the screenshot is easy to overlook. I did not hide it on purpose. Linux Mint 19 automatically created that setup ( mint--vg LVM) 3 years ago and I haven't given it much thought since. Thanks for trying to help! yeah, boot the live I...

Am I correct to wonder if the notification system was changed/updated in Mint 21 or upstream in Ubuntu 22.04, and the mentioned apps need to be updated by their devs for updated Ubuntu 22.04 type notifications? Do you know what this component or package that manages the notifications is called, so I...
