Linux Mint Forums

ive just struck this as well
Mint mate 19.1
Downloads folder ,at full screen unable to change name of folder (sub folders no problem)
If i drag the screen smaller then i can rename the folder

had a stab at this
chmod -R 777 /home/user/Downloads/

then killall caja

seems ok now

Ok i found this link https://gist.github.com/tronje/21c4c1ec ... 4336ac3d48
Many thanks to that poster

using that i managed to get this:

${curl wttr.in/Paris ?/t}original
${curl wttr.in/Paris?/t}remove space
${curl wttr.in/Paris?t}remove extra slash
${curl wttr.in/Paris?T}use T parameter not t which is not a parameter

You could always write your own my weather conky parsing data from the UK met office in python:

sadly ,im not smart enough to do that kind of coding.
The conkys i use are all cobbled together from others, for which i am very grateful.

Thank you
I put in this
${curl wttr.in/Paris ?/t}

but have the same result.
Maybe if you have a working example i could play and go forward with, may get me on the right track
Im not a coder as you may have guessed by now..

Thank you all,
ill have a little dig around when i get a moment

Using mint 19 mate. I used to have GIS as a weather app on my desktop. This no longer seems to work. Ive prob done something wrong... Moving on, I have looked at wttr and have it going in conky but the output is not useable, compared to the terminal. ${curl wttr.in/city} Does anyone know how to set ...

I've just been through the same issues on mate with mfc8840d networked after much fuss and bother this is what i did. Your mileage may vary, and please mote this is my scanner and you must change files accordingly I installed xsane as the scanner gui I also installed ,previously, the printer scanner...

Thank you yes the smb password was the issue.
I did have other questions in relation to the guest access but of no importance.
Ill mark this as solved then

Big thank you for your input. Really priceless. Yes , you are correct re the linux way post link. and correct again re gvfs mount. I changed all entries to gio (gvfs-mount not installed in mint mate) I didnt know about the mdns. So should the "linux way" file be left in place or removed? I didnt rea...

This post is probably for Altair4. Hope you are around I have used networking “the Linux way” given by Altair4 for a few years, on mint 17 mate. I also used the creds file method to mount those shares. (also Altair4 suggestion) My network has an old nas on it as well as 3 mint pc. I have successfull...

So ive fooled around with this once again. (on a virtual box) The only way i can get a file to open directly is via a launcher on the desktop. using the creds file with username and password.per altair4, mentioned above. This is not ideal , and a tad irritating that a direct launcher will work but n...

@ vimes666

Tried your suggestion but could not get it to work.
i reinstalled 18.3 to have a clean slate.

Ive no doubt got something wrong but am at a loss as to what that may be. i will have another try when i get a bit of time

However the problem is not folder access but an individual file , in this ca...

I mean, have you tried to run mint 18.1 in your virtual box? (Please answer yes or no) Short answer is no. Long answer is im running linux mint version 18.3 in the vbox. I did initially try 18.1 when it first came out to no avail Really appreciate the effort here. I will be looking at yout suggestio...

Are you sure you have tried 18.1 in your virtual box?

In fact Vbox is 18.3

How do you mount smb://nas/public/myfile.ods?[/quote]
