How to switch from xfce to Cinnamon and vice versa Preface: Switching from xfce to Cinnamon and vice versa cannot be done after power on in the Grub boot menu. Grub does not know anything about the DE's which are installed on your Linux Mint system. Switching from xfce to Cinnamon and vice versa is...

Making sure all user processes are terminated after logging off from the graphical desktop Ever since user sessions are managed by systemd , by default, when a user logs off from the graphical desktop (xfce, Mate or Cinnamon), not all user processes are really terminated. Some may be left behind. P...

Installing 2 still missing Cinnamon software packages: The Cinnamon installation has completed, but we are not quite done, e.g. because the "shopping list" mint-meta-cinnamon will not have pulled in as dependencies the following Cinnamon software packages: 1. gnome-terminal 2. gnome-scree...

Steps to install Cinnamon on LM 21.1 xfce: Preface: Adding Cinnamon as a second desktop environment to LM 21.1 xfce is almost as simple as launching Synaptic package manager, locating the package mint-meta-cinnamon and installing it. mint-meta-cinnamon is a meta package, i.e. it is something like a...

Hello, Jopp-Lm.

"Startup Applications" are executed everytime after you have logged in to the graphical desktop (xfce, Mate or Cinnamon)). So adding your self-written script one more Startup Application should be the appropriate approach.

Hello, event_horizon.

Reboot the system. Then execute the terminal command sudo apt-get check and share its text output with us, please.

xfce and Cinammon are different desktop environments, developped and maintained by two totally different developer teams, who are completely independent of each other. Different DE's, different developer teams, different software concepts and designs. By the way, the xfce development started many ye...

Hello, sulfur. Welcome to the Linux Mint forum. :) About the lost Mint menu icon in the left-hand corner of your bottom panel: Here is how to get it back where it was: Right click with your mouse on the empty space in your bottom panel. - A context menu will popup. Inside the context menu click on t...

Hello, Kuen. In case you install LM 21.3 Cinnamon (or any other desktop) on a disk partition having a total size of 55.3 GiB, then do not permit Timeshift to create snapshots on this partition, too. - Use an external disk with an ext4 partition instead. As has been mentioned before, installing a lar...

Hello, rwboggess2. What you report strongly suggests that you are using a bootable Linux Mint live system, not a fully installed LM system. You created a bootable LM live system from the downloaded Linux Mint ISO image file with the help of Rufus or Edger or a similar application, correct? If the an...

Hallo, dalpets. The Launchpad PPA ppa:gezakovacs/ppa does not offer anything for Ubuntu 22.04 and therefore not for Linux Mint 21.x, either. So better drop the idea of installing Unetbootin from the mentioned PPA. As the Unetbootin Github page suggests Unetbootin is available as an Appimage package....

Hello, dalpets.

The command to install Unetbootin will be sudo apt install unetbootin, provided the package name is really unetbootin and provided Unetbootin is available in the configured software sources.

Hallo, Ehinger. Das, was LM 20.3 anzeigt zur 2. SSD, Gerät /dev/sdb, bestätigt wohl diam0ndkillers Vermutung, dass es auf /dev/sdb keinerlei Plattenpartition gibt.

Hallo, pcfreddy. Wenn man die von dir genannten HPLIP Versionen untereinander schreibt, dann dürfte die Reihenfolge von alt nach neu doch ziemlich klar sein: 3.18.7 3.19.6 3.21.8 3.21.12+dfsg0-1 HP selbst gibt die Versionsbezeichnungen ohne irgendwelche Zusätze an, also 3.18.7 3.19.6 3.21.8 3.21.12 ...

When pointing the cursor at the [...] volume icon on the taskbar, moving the scroll wheel adjusts [...] volume respectively. I can confirm that this works on Linux Mint 21.1 xfce 4.16. :) Of course, I suppose that this thread is about Linux Mint 21.1 xfce 4.16, because no other Linux Mint release a...

Hello, MooneenoM. Welcome to the Linux Mint forum. :-) Before you mentioned the application name lyrebird , I had not even known that an application by this name existed. It might have been helpful not only to mention its name, but to give the link to its Github webpage, too: lyrebird . It might hav...
