Yep... When I disable certain auto-start aps, after a reboot/restart they are enabled again...

Application Autostart resetting to defaults after each reboot

Hi Guys, I've just noticed that the Application Autostart setting under Settings > Session and Startup keeps resetting to the installation defaults after a reboot, or shutdown-startup. Not sure when it happened, but it must've been after a recent update. I only realised when I noticed system reports...

Yes to both... It's not a deal-breaker, but it is annoying.

Re: How to upgrade to Linux Mint 21.2

The issue I have (I'm in Australia) is that the upgrade process changes my Mirrors (in the update manager software sources) to ones in the US and UK, which are painfully slow.

Will the relevant upgrade packages be rolled-out to local mirrors as well?

Mike.

LM 21.1 - not all mouse pointers change

Seems to have a mildly annoying glitch... I changed the default 'cartoonish' Bibata mouse-pointer theme to the previous default DMZ (White) theme (WHY do you have to change default themes all the time?!?)... However, several of the mouse-pointers still switch to the awful Bibata theme, for example t...

Re: Linux Mint 21 “Vanessa” Cinnamon released!

I'd have to say, I heartily agree with this - a 'clean' version of LM with no apps installed, only the basic stuff like networking, desktop/UI would be great. I too spend an age uninstalling pretty much all of the apps after a fresh install. I maintain quite a few installation of LM and pretty much ...

That question was asked in the blog comments here and the response is:
In “Menu -> Preferences -> Requirements” uncheck “Recent Timeshift snapshot”

Re: How to upgrade to Linux Mint 21

How do I perform the upgrade WITHOUT doing a system snapshot?

I don't use timeshift - running LM as a VM, so just create a backup of my .VDI file

LM 21.0 xfce - Where the heck is Xplayer?

Hi Guys,

Just testing out 21.0 xfce. I've removed the usual crop of unneeded apps and am having a go at putting the ones I prefer.

However, I can't find Xplayer anywhere - not in synaptic.

Celluloid is nowhere near as good.

Anyone know where I can get Xplayer??

Cheers,

Mike.

Re: Mint 21 install - No EFI System Partition was found - Fixed

I had the same error/warning message when performing a clean in stall of LM 20.1 xfce - following the usual procedure I have in the past.

Why is it displaying the message if it's irrelevant for a 'BIOS mode' install?

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi Guys, Thanks to other members on this old thread (https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2114725) I was able to successfully resize the mildly-annoyingly-large volume icon. I'd also like to be able to resize some of the others I have in the notification-area, namely the Network Manager and ...

Re: [Solved] Xfce - resize notification area panel icons independently?

Finally got it working - unsure what I did wrong before, but now the gtk.css file is working...

One final (?) question: How do I change the size of the Update Manger icon? I can't seem to figure out what it's called.

Thanks for the response...! What does the plus-symbol "+" next to the 1920 x 1080 resolution signify? The + signifies what the system picks up as the native resolution of the screen. The * identifies the current resolution being used. Ah, that's good - at least it's recognising the native ...
