Re: Which scripts do you use often?
I made a few backup scripts recently and am kind of proud of them, this is the first scripting I've done and I worked out a lot of bugs! First off, a script to backup to my FreeNAS server. I used to do this via cron and I have had problems in the past where it was not available yet the rsync command...

Re: Sound not working - Mint 20
Hasn't been many updates to this thread lately, so I assume the sound problems are fixed? I'm having the fixes work for a while, then not survive a reboot. Then another reboot and they work again. I see there's another PulseAudio update today. Has that made a difference? Should I upgrade? Changelog ...

Re: Warpinator for Windows
Yeah it's too bad Warpinator won't be ported to Windows. The file share system I had working between LM19.3 and Windows 10 has broken down now that I've upgraded to LM20. All the tips and tricks and guides aren't helping and what worked in 19.3 doesn't work with LM20. I've run out of tricks. I'll ge...

Re: Sound not working - Mint 20
Hi mr_t260, and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry I missed your original post somehow. There have been a number of changes between the versions, but I rather doubt most of them are having any influence on your issue. EDIT: Just in case it's this easy, see if running this command then rebooting fixes ...

LibreOffice Writer - strange window behaviour moving from one monitor to another
Hello, New LM 20 with Cinnamon 4.6.6 and LibreOffice 6.4.4. When I try to move a LibreOffice Writer window from one monitor to another it minimizes in a strange way. I get this weird window: Screenshot from 2020-07-24 13-37-22.png (turns out the top "X" closes the window and the bottom &qu...

Re: Large space in left zone of panel
OK, I got it. I played around with this in a VM and realized that when I move panel items around, there's an "X" when I can't move it to an area, but a "hand with arrow" icon when I can. The entire blank area causes an "X", but when I move it to the tiny space just to t...

[SOLVED] Large space in left zone of panel
LM 20, Cinnamon 4.6.6 Hello, I'm trying to configure my new LM 20 installation to look like my old 19.3 installation. I've almost got it and have adopted some nice new features. But there's something weird going on with my panel. I have a huge empty space on the left and can't move any applets into ...

Re: Intel WiFi 6 AX200 & AX201 (Cyclone/Harrison Peak 2) Early-Bird Support
LMDE, as with anything Debian, isn't for the cutting edge, and this new networking gear is cutting edge. Debian is stable but very conservative. I would suggest you switch to Linux Mint Cinnamon, MATE or Xfce which can support these newer kernels. If you stick with LMDE, you'll have to wait and use ...

Re: Intel WiFi 6 AX200 & AX201 (Cyclone/Harrison Peak 2) Early-Bird Support
My AX200 just started working with the 5.3 kernel, but everything else isn't, including video. 
I was getting speeds of about 200 Mbps according to iperf.
Trying to downgrade to a 5.0 kernel, but holding SHIFT on boot doesn't even bring up the GRUB menu.

Re: Intel WiFi 6 AX200 & AX201 (Cyclone/Harrison Peak 2) Early-Bird Support
I'm just setting this up today and it is as I'd feared - neither the Intel AX200 nor the Realtek RTL8125 are even detected by Linux Mint. I'll play around with updating the kernel but first I have to install all updates and it's painful with my crappy little Wifi adapter. Considering installing a te...

Re: Intel WiFi 6 AX200 & AX201 (Cyclone/Harrison Peak 2) Early-Bird Support
I'll be monitoring this closely - I'm strongly considering an MSI MEG X570 UNIFY which has an AX200. I'd rather not upgrade kernels, looks like there are no 5.1 kernels for LM 19.3, just 5.3 kernels (5.3.0-24 as of this writing). I'll try keeping my 4.15.0-74 and backporting the driver. I'll have my...

Thanks for the reply. open update manager and click refresh. that should fix the red x icon It didn't for me, once the install "fails" and the red X appears, refreshing it did not clear the X. It went away on its own eventually. Edit: scratch that, it happened again today and yes, a simple...

Re: Could not install the security updates

It was the same thing for the systemd update today. I updated through apt-get which correctly informed me of the systemd update. After tha...

I guess we were the only two this affected, but the problem seems to have expanded. There was a kernel update today and I can't install it. "Could not install the security updates." apt-get doesn't find any new updates so I can't do it that way either. There's just a generic error message ...
