Run Nemo task on tabs or panes
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 ...

Re: Where do all these Flatpak updates come from?
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.

Re: Where do all these Flatpak updates come from?
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...

Re: Where do all these Flatpak updates come from?
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...

Re: Where do all these Flatpak updates come from?
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...

Where do all these Flatpak updates come from?
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.

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, ...

Re: Pulse Audio exits shortly after logging in
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.

Re: Mint 21 screen lock only partially obscures desktop sometimes
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...

Pulse Audio exits shortly after logging in
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...

Re: Mint 21 slight keyboard lag
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.
