You can just correct the typo in sppech in the killall command and this will terminate the speech-dispatcher related processes and not anything related to pavucontrol. I'm pretty sure none of the speech-dispatcher processes are named "speech-dispatcher"; they're called: sd_espeak, sd_generic, ... e...

Mine look like anti-aliasing off!

OK. Your first post wasn't clear.

Wine is in there somewhere because when using context menu on a .jpg I get the option to 'Open with Wine application'. A better way to test; in a terminal: wine --version I also have Wine internet Explorer as an option in this menu. Probably a BAD ideas to use it! But I cannot find the program. I w...

Oh, solved as I was posting this, cool! For "The Others"..... There's also command-line "rename" (it won't rename more than one file to the same name, so I made the "random" parts unique): $ ls 0201-randomAFileName.ext 2763-randomCFileName.ext 2764-randomDFileName.ext 1302-randomBFileName.ext 2763-r...

Try thunar: rename.jpg There's also a "Search and replace" (strings), though I've never had much luck with the "regular expressions" - they don't act the same way as in "vi". Immediate edit: If you're not using Xfce, you should probably open it with thunar --bulk-rename When the --bulk-rename option...

I just want to disable more fonts that are not useful to me.

FWIW, here are the ones I keep:

Code: Select all

$ ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype
dejavu  liberation  mscore  ttf-bitstream-vera  ubuntu-font-family

Flemur

The Noto font is part of the system, so I must to keep it, I didn't keep it. but I'd like to know a way to at least to disable some of its "extensions" from my text editor, like Noto Sans Cham, Devanagari UI, Gujarati, etc. Search these forums for a post or two about removing those fonts in "one fe...

Every fonts looks very "aliased" and bad like in https://imgur.com/TpZ0cBp this image, in font settings i've set anti-aliasing to "enable" then sub-pixel rendering to "RGB" and hinting style to "medium". The font above the label "Anti-aliasing on" isn't aliased, and it looks just like your settings...

Honestly, gksudo and a number of other little things are the kind of stuff I've really never understood why people use.

Like I said above, I use gksudo to launch gparted and synaptic from my fluxbox keyboard shortcuts. It's just an easy way.

But for editing system text files:

Code: Select all

sudo vi file

When looking at the terminal output during installation of the package,

Which package?

[/code]Building only for 4.13.0-38-generic
Building for architecture amd64[/code]
However, my laptop is running the 64-bit version of LM (Cinnamon) with Linux kernel 4.13.0-38

That what amd64 4.13.etc means.

How about xdg-open admin:///etc/default/grub ?

I get a popup telling me that firefox is already running.

I use gksudo in my fluxbox menus and key-definitions. This seems to work well as a replacement: Edit: it didn't work right. See correction $ cat bin/Gksudo #!/bin/sh # # Use this when gksu goes away. # # BZZZZT wrong: xfce4-terminal --command="sudo -H $* " --geometry=40x8 # xfce4-terminal --command=...

I didn't know, that gksudo is also affected.

As for editing system configuration files: aside from pkexec, gvfs now has builtin support for admin:// paths that automatically invoke PolKit as needed. None of the stuff you listed works for me (Xfce Mint18.3). Is it supposed to work now or not? $ gparted-pkexec ... Password: polkit-agent-helper-...

No problem; just follow the instructions Flemur gave me in: ...which worked quite well. I'm going to have that embroidered. Oh, but wait: the drive needs a label, well, use "Gparted", no, drive is mounted. Unmount it in gparted. It's either mounted or it's not, and it's either being used - so you c...

I recorded this sound problem internally using "Audio Recorder" and the crunchy popping sound is present upon playback. Suggesting this is a software / driver problem rather than faulty speakers, although it could be a hardware problem with the computers sound. Good to make a test rather than assum...

flemur, I already had the pulseaudio EQ that I could only get using the terminal, then I typed in "pulseEffects" and it showed up on my software manager. Oops, I uninstalled that, but reinstalled it as a test and yup, "pulseEffects" shows up. Here's a page about it: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017...

go to your software manager and type in "pulseEffects".

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache search pulseEffects
$

Synaptic hasn't heard of "pulseEffects" either.

Did you mean package libasound2-plugin-equal ?

The ISO I'm trying to burn is 380M. Oops, I made a dumb assumption. Audio and video work fine, but unable to write. I've cleaned the laser lens, tried different CDs, different burning programs.

I started some music by clicking on it to start Rhythmbox but there seemed no way to shut it down until the music was over.

That doesn't sound right.
Do you see a window? And clicking the "X" (close window) button didn't work?
Rt-click the rhythmbox toolbar icon-> close didn't work?
