Re: Restore crashed menubar/window list without reboot?
The menu isn't gone, but invisible. I can click on items in the bar, including windows and the menu, but I can't see the popup hints for the windows, nor the menu itself. I have to go by memory of where it is. I can still see the mouse pointer, and I can see the desktop background.

Missing the weather icon suddenly and apparently missing mint-y-dark icons?
Good morning all, I seem to be missing the weather icon in the clock module. This has been working for a long time and suddenly isn't there. Any idea on how to diagnose this and get it back? Possibly related, I was looking at my appearance preferences and it tells me I'm missing the mint-y-dark icon...

Restore crashed menubar/window list without reboot?
HI all, Running Linux Mint Mate 21.2. I have had this problem occasionally through various versions and I haven't found a solution yet. I haven't found a repeatable cause yet. Sometimes by entire bottom menu bar, with the window list, clock, etc. disappears. It seems to still be there, as hovering o...

Connecting to Open Network Fails but Android connects
Hi all, Possibly a simple solution or possibly a feature (?) I'm staying at a motel and they have an open Wi-Fi connection. The icon shows up on both my Linux Mint 21 Vanessa Mate laptop and on my Lineage OS 17 phone. The phone connects fine but the laptop hangs in the process at requesting an addre...

Re: Nvidia 510 install results in undetected graphics card?
Thanks,
Reverted to 470 and everything seems to be back. NVENC works for h.264 but not h.265 which appears to be a fault of the 860M itself.

Nvidia 510 install results in undetected graphics card?
Hi all, I was trying to update my nvidia driver from 390, which was in the driver manager, to 510, which is in the range that kdenlive can use for gpu acceleration. Now I cannot access the nvidia applet, nvidia-smi reports it cannot talk to the card, and kdenlive can't see a card. Before I go muckin...

[SOLVED] Re: DVD plays in Windows, not Linux
I'm going to mark this as solved. It seems that the DVD is encrypted so that there aren't any libraries to install to fix it. MakeMKV, however, is able to decrypt it into an MKV that I can play with other players. If someone knows of a way to make this decryption available system-wide, feel free to ...

Hi all, I have a dual boot systems and I'm trying to use a dvd collection I have. The DVD opens in linux but no files will play. Trying to copy the files from the DVD ends up with a splicing error.

New i5 gen 11 laptop incredibly slow in 20.3 Mate
Hi all, Had to replace my wife's laptop so I picked up an HP 15-dy4027ca. It has an i5-1155G7, 513GB SSD, and 8GB DDR4 ram. I wiped the drive and installed Mint 20.3 Mate. I had to upgrade the kernel to 5.13 to get the wifi working, but the laptop is still incredibly slow. Just loading firefox takes...

Re: Acer laptop boot hangs on black screen before login
So the problem here ended up being a bad video cable and cable routing. The laptop has a really poorly engineered signal cable route that takes it through a flimsy hinge. The cable doesn't stay in its routing clips and bends, occasionally getting to an angle where it intermittently disconnects. Now ...

Re: AMD CPU Laptop flashing randomly - driver issue?
I generally install Linux with 2 main partitions, one with /and one with /home. As for the flashing, it looks like the backlight randomly blinking off. Sometimes it's 2 or 3 times in 3 seconds and sometimes it's an hour before a single flash. Before running 5.11, I was on the older LTS kernel, 5.4 I...

AMD CPU Laptop flashing randomly - driver issue?
Hi all, I've been trying to chase down this issue for a while now. I have checked drivers, changed some settings, and changed kernels. Some issues have been reduced but the flashing continues. I just did an update and noticed that it said 'possible missing driver' about the amdcpu or amdgpu. I haven...

Re: Acer laptop boot hangs on black screen before login
The laptop only has the built-in screen. When the screen flashes, before the kernel update, there was occasionally a screen overlay that reported that no external display was present. Now that the kernel update has been done, I have not seen the overlay popup, but the occasional blackout of the scre...
