Linux Mint Forums

I am currently using Mate 18.3 and would like to know how to change the color of the active window in the taskbar. As you can see in the attachment, my active window will appear bright green. I'd like to know how to change this color to something else. Even further, are there any other attributes th...

Not quite what you ask, but perhaps this can be of some help: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/hacks-mint.html#ID1 (item 1) I appreciate the response. Not exactly what I am going for though. We only want the screen to act as a digital button. The only thing showing on the screen would in...

A couple of friends and I have been working on a project that we'd like to incorporate a tablet device. We want the tablet to be locked down to a specific application that we have created. I understand that there are some proprietary options out there. There also seem to be some open source options ...

Have you tried running 'sudo apt update' instead? If not, try it and then see what happens again. It looks like it is returning a broken link and you just have your system looking for what you need in an old link. Hopefully the update command gives you more recent links to look at for what you need.

And you are getting that same error even after trying what the last line of that error message is asking you to do?

Thanks, rene!

I am 49 pages into Pro Git and already feel like I understand more in the few hours of reading this than when I was spending many more hours trying to push through it with Eclipse. I can tell that this is going to be a very nice resource. Thank you again!

You may aswell start with the official documentation - https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

Awesome! Thank you for such a prompt reply, smurphos. I really appreciate it.

I was recently learning to use Git while working on a project with Eclipse but it was becoming a frustrating process. It came to a point where I thought I should probably learn the fundamentals first and do it through the command line before trying to use a GUI. What are some of your favorite resour...

So it is known that this exists for linux systems but what is unknown is how it makes its way in the system?

If you are new to programming then I would not worry so much about the IDE beyond using one that compiles your program and runs. I started by using Geany, which you can easily get on Mint by going to the Software Managers, and using it without the add-ons. It will highlight key words and such and th...

I am getting closer to 100%. I dual boot to get into Windows 10 when I want to mix tracks with my Pioneer DJ controller using Serato. If anyone knows how to get this software to run on Mint, I am all ears. There is also the occasional need for Windows when one of the classes I am taking requires me ...

I just installed MX Linux on a Thinkpad T43 and it runs pretty well. I think the T43 is from around 2004.

I was just listening to a podcast by Michio Kaku the other day where these very questions came up. I believe it centered around what would happen if the sun just vanished and how long it would take for the Earth to be flung into space off of its orbital path. If I remember correctly, he said no one ...

Are you wondering if the hardware will wear down over time and/or stop functioning altogether by the computer being periodically turned on/off versus kept running all day?

Quake 2. All others are just imitators

How did you get this to run?

Oh yes, almost completely free of Microsoft here too :) The only thing I am still using by them is skype since the majority of people use it... You can run it on Linux too. I just installed via Software Manager the other day and it runs fine. Edit - sorry, I realize you were probably referring to t...

How did you get UT running?

While it sounds like things are a bit too late for OP, regarding those LibGTK dependencies: I installed my copy of UT99:GOTY by using the AMD versions of those files, which are available on the same sites reference by that link you posted. I was having a problem with the i386 versions for some reas...

So I was able to get the disc cleaned up and installed. When I go to run the game I get the following error message; Unhandled exception: privileged instruction in 32-bit code (0x0040aae4). Register dump: CS:0023 SS:002b DS:002b ES:002b FS:0063 GS:006b EIP:0040aae4 ESP:0032fcf4 EBP:00410fed EFLAGS:0...

Just my luck; the cd is too scratched and installation stopped at one of the files that couldn't be read. At least I know that your directions appear to work though, so thank you! Hopefully I can either get a new copy for cheap somewhere or get this disc cleaned up somehow.
