I noted when I installed pure Xfce on the box briefly that it gave me issues with my wireless nic and Samba/WSDD/Gigolo drive networking. I solved the nic issue by swapping devices to another nic that both Cinn and Xfce recognized. The wifi icon in the bottom panel use different plugins on Cinnamon...

In Synaptic you can check the dependencies of any software package by right-clicking on the package and selecting Properties => Dependencies The same list can be got by executing the terminal command apt-cache depends <package name> (I used the terminal commands, because it made it easy to copy the ...

Hello, Logansfury. Preface; This evening, I checked what comes pre-installed on Linux Mint 21 xfce (Vanessa). LM 21 xfce has got xfce 4.16.0. The packages to select for installation in Synaptic: You only have to select the following packages and mark them for installation: mint-meta-xfce xfce4-power...

Hello, Logansfury. Karl are you about? I am seeing in the Synaptic Package Manager that not all the items on your list are there, Asterisks indicate what I have found and Checked as Mark for Install: mint-artwork-xfce mint-backgrounds-xfce mint-meta-xfce * xfce4 * xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin * xfce4-go...

Hello, Reddog1. [...] IF you get this working, when it comes time to upgrade your system, you are going to blow it up. The only distribution that I've found that will run Xfce and Cinnamon seamlessly is MX linux. Mint is absolutely, positively NOT designed to do that. [...] (Bold formatting by me) H...

Does this mean that you succeeded in assigning labels to your disk partitions and that they are displayed inside Nemo now?

Hello, Reddog1. Hello, folks. Install Mint (any desktop version), then: Install VirtualBox and run any other linux distribution or desktop as a virtual machine. [...] That is the easy way that 'just works'. It's also the safest way to use different desktops and distributions on the same computer. Of...

Hello, kemalasliyuksek. The names of my disks consist of complex numbers. I want to rename my disks, but it says it is busy and does not allow it. How can i change their names? Actually, you do not want to rename your disks. You want to rename your disk partitions. But even this is not correct techn...

Hello, Logansfury. Keep in mind that the post is 10 years old. It mentions xfce 4.10. 10 years later, depending on your Linux Mint version, xfce will be either 4.16 or 4.18. Also, at the end of the second post, there is link to a list of software packages, which 10 years ago was pulled in by install...

Hello, Logansfury.
A few minutes after your post I competed a few small amendments to my post above yours. So you may like to read it again.

Hello, JAK_O. The level system (level 1 to 5) was dropped from the Linux Mint Update Manager more than 5 years ago. Cf. e.g. this post: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2059092#p2059092 . The safety levels were dropped in release Linux Mint 19, which was published in the middle of 2018. ...

Hi, folks. Is this still April fool's day? Logansfury has got a Linux Mint Cinnamon installation. Cinnamon is used by user1. On the existing Linux Mint system he adds the xfce desktop. He creates user2. User1 will stick with the Cinnamon desktop. User2 will use the xfce desktop. So far no problem at...

Hi, motoryzen. This topic cannot go to "Installation & Boot" e.g., because it is not about Linux Mint. Neither about the main edition, nor about LMDE. This is why I asked whether it would not have been better to ask in the appropriate user forum, i.e. the one for the Linux distribution...

Hello, Creeper. Hi guys! This topic is not about Linux mint, but I really need help. Which Linux distribution do you use? Would it not make sense registering in the user support forum of the Linux distribution, which you use, and ask for help there? I'm edit grub.cfg to add new system. Never ever do...

Hello, mint-garden. The topic title mentions "Linux Mint 20.02 Cinnamon LMDE". This is not really possible. "Linux Mint 20.02 Cinnamon" is a still supported inux Mint release, based on Ubuntu 20.04. It comes with the desktop environment Cinnamon. The correct full name is "Li...

Hello, Logan. Why is Xfce such a failure with my hardware when Cinn drove it all perfectly? I got disgusted and wiped the drive again. I have got no idea what went wrong with your Linux Mint xfce installation. As you have nuked all the pieces of evidence, there is no way of finding out what had gone...

Yes, there are *reasons* for this, but no, these are not good reasons, viewed from the perspective of the user. You try to sell your personal perspective as everybody's perspective. But still it is your own perspective only. To me, that is indeed a huge problem with Linux. So much redundancy for so...

Thunar_Computer.png "Computer" is neither useless, nor is it cluttered. It gives an overview on available disk partitions/devices, including a few relevant pieces of information. Whoever wishes "Computer" inside the file-manager to be changed (extended, amended, redesigned) is a...

Hello, shedyed. I can confirm that I experienced the same phenomenon, too. Cannot remember when it happened last. Happened to me only very very rarely. I suspect that sometimes an outdated cookie, suggesting you were still logged in, might be the reason. As I never keep cookies across sessions, this...

Hello, Kuen. The sizes in the output, which you have shared, are in MiB. Let me add explanations to the first few lines, which hold bigger numbers. 33553 / Total space used on root filesystem /: 33,553 MiB 16270 /timeshift Roughly half of this space used by Timeshift snapshots: 16,270 MiB <=== 11472...
