I have an entry for open terminal in active folder in nemo, but it opens in a window. To make it full screen just use F11 Alternatively, ctrl-alt-t Will launch your terminal from anywhere, and again F11 will maximize it if you're using Cinnamon. This is not exactly what you want, but if you prefer t...

So make sure you install idle3 sudo apt install idle3 Once installed, find one of your python files extension .py and right click, choose open with, then select bottom option , other. In the list you should see idle3 and from this screen , click the box Set as default, then ok. I can post a screensh...

Sorry for delay, have done some more investigation. I did not run timeshift but a friend with a similar vintage Sony laptop which also uses the Intel i915 chipset, also ran into cinnamon fallback mode. He had timeshift installed and once run, restored mesa version 22.5 drivers. It appears something ...

Ok thanks for your advice, CPU is running 46C and 47C which is about normal for this laptop. I am not doing too much
graphic intensive work, but its continuously monitored by my conky setup.

This has happened to me, but with an older Acer 5734Z laptop and Intel GMA 4500M graphics (i915 driver). When you log out of Cinnamon try the option Cinnamon(Software Rendering) Does this allow you to use your applets and screen brightness? Software rendering is possibly not as fast as the hardware ...

Thanks for all your help. First, the kernel. I never checked the support date, but now I look 5.15 has LTS until 2027, so reverted back. So created a new user, still Cinnamon reports fallback mode. As I have / and /home I downloaded and installed Mint 21.2 opting to format root but not home. All was...

I upgraded from Mint 19.3 to 21.1 Cinnamon on my Acer 5734Z laptop with Intel i915. All was well for several months, now it only starts in fallback Mode. Hardware System: Host: slave Kernel: 5.19.0-50-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: Cinnamon 5.6.8 tk: GTK 3.24.33 info: mate-panel wm: ...

The problem the forum has got is that there will be very few people using a VGA to HDMI adapter. VGA was a low spec offeing 640x480 pixel resolution. The VGA to HDMI adapter will upscale this to HDMI but resolution will still be 640x480, so is not going to make much difference. There will probably b...

There may be two things that caused this to break: 1 KVM switch 2 Your Restored backup. If you can get into recovery mode, can you log into your new Mint 21.1 ? If you can you can try sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade Not forced to work but may renew or overwrite any configuration files that have cor...

Without the extra information its not possible to answer. However you also need to know to UUID identify of the current home partition. This can be found from command blkid The new drive that contains / the filesystem table will need to be modified with the mount details for home. From your existing...

Since you don't mention a model, its difficult to give a specific answer. No problem, dual and multi booting on Acer ASpire 5734Z which is the older laptop I use. Boot time is about 35 seconds on a SATA drive, not SSD. However see if this link can help: https://linux-on-laptops.com/ Unfortunately, t...

There is only one thing I'm going to add here. I recently upgraded from Mint 19.3 to Mint 21.1 Vera using a USB thumb drive. All I saw was a black screen with blinking underscore. My Bios is not EFI and looking at your Pavilion 400 I am sure your BIOS is also non EFI. A lot of the modern Linux now u...

Its quite possibly related to power management on the Wi-Fi adapter. As your Wi-Fi signal will fluctuate, if the adapter is in low power mode it may loose connection. Post the output of: iwconfig You may get output similar to below: wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"SSID" Mode:Managed Frequency...

There is also streamtuner2 available in the repositories.
Streamtuner2 has links to TuneIn, Surfmusic etc

I've used shortwave also on a different linux distro and there are more stations and more choice on
shortwave.

Port 443 is the common port for https connections. If you close this port then you will not be able to browse the forum. Port 443 is not open by default but only by the application e.g. firefox From the termial netstat -tpe Will show which program is using the tcp ports, netstat -tpne will show prog...

If you use Cinnamon Desktop there is a panel applet called Brightness and Gamma. To install it go to System settings, applets, click download tab and update the cache, then search for Brightness and gamma applet. It may not work in all situations, but works on my laptop with intel backlight, and als...

With any random type of fault, you need to at least provide basic hardware and software details, otherwise no one can answer. Your hardware, is it a tower PC, front panel switch, front panel fan(s) for example? Post the output of inxi -Fx What you need to do is download or boot from either a live DV...

In addition to what has already been said, if your hardware is a laptop then you may want to save your configuration for the backlight. For my laptop, the file on LM19.3 is 20-intel.conf which is stored under the root partition at: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ The file is small so you can back it up ...

Afaik thermald is present by default in linux mint. Is 80 degrees overheating? I am new to this overheating etc thing. I use both a desktop and a laptop. My ambient temperature is about 19/20C My laptop which is dual core Celeron runs about 45 to 45C, about 55C if stressed, so overheating could be ...

You need to post some hardware details as previously stated. The problem with random restarting, is you need to break this fault down into hardware or software. If hardware, it could be overheating, waiting until it gets to a ceratain temperature, bad memory, bad PSU etc. You also don't say if its a...
