I just installed linux mint last night and partitioned it on my 4 tb hdd and now I can't access it at all on windows 10. That's normal: windows can't understand any non-MS filesystem types, like ext4 (the one you get by default), btfs, etc. There are a couple of 3rd-party windows programs that migh...

In Xfce is there a quick way to highlight the position of the mouse cursor when I press the control key? Something like what they discuss for Ubuntu here .

Did you try the stuff on that page? If it works in Ubuntu, it should work in Mint.

Should I really have committed the mistake of accepting as correct somebody else's statement without verifying whether it applies or not? :oops: Sniff. Will have to report myself to the forum administration team for being incredibly overcredulous. :shock: Don't worry, I'll denounce you to the autho...

Are you sure?

The problem was solved, thank you Flemur.

Thanks for adding SOLVED and also for adding info which others might find useful.

Note about ~/.profile

~ = $HOME = /home/username

Try typing

Code: Select all

echo ~

And you could

Code: Select all

xed ~/.profile

You'd normally NOT change any /etc/skel files.

i'm truly at a lost. it's like one second it was working just fine and then it wasn't.

I would look at (=reinstall or reconfigure) polkit (@smurphos) and pkexec, which is broken on my system, and might be the reason my errors act like your errors.

Hello, I recently made a question about how to fix a keyboard that resets itself at login, and I have gotten little response on that ( https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=289347 ), so I am now looking for at different solution. I want to manually change the keyboard layout at every boot, a...

If you like weird number stuff, there's a really cool one that says 1.99999..... = 2:

1.999.... is another way to represent "2": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...

still looking for a fix to this. My default "open with" for .deb files is "gdebi-gtk", which calls itself "GDebi" (there's actually another, different, program called "gdebi") and "GDebi Package Installer" and it crashes (suddenly it's no longer there) all the time when I hit "Install". When I run ...

Intel has a specific driver optimized for my Celeron processor on Windows, while, as far as I know, Linux uses Mesa for all Intel things; It's probably your video driver. I had a similar experience with an old Sony Vaio [sic?] desktop which ran better on XP than on linux. My 10-year-old eMachines, ...

How do you convert a store bought cd to mp3 format ? 1 - "copy" the files from the CD (so far just copying has always given exactly the same file as a ripper, but use a ripper if your CD is in bad shape). 2 - Edit the .wav file with audition * so volume and intro/outro are the way I want them. 3 - ...

It sounds like a color profile in the file, which can either be ignored, or applied to change the rgb values before they're sent to the screen. Try gimp -> Image -> Color management -> enable/disable You also might want to get the pictures transferred as .psd (photoshop) rather than .jpg, it's proba...

Does anyone think that the website user interface is outdated? No. Is it decent looking, clear and functional? (The "downloads" part isn't great: all the downloads should just be in a list for somthing so simple, the sub-menus are pointless...but still a lot better than the manjaro downloads page!)...

If you're runnint network-manager (you probably are),

Code: Select all

nmcli

and it has lots of options.

Thanks, I figured out what was the problem: Docker, the docker volumes and overlay2 folders were huge, around 4 gb, so I just pruned them. But still I wanna extend my root, how should I proceed? You need to unmount the partition, which means you can't do it from the running OS; so run gparted from ...

7min 20.601s fstrim.service
3.531s apt-daily-upgrade.service
996ms apt-daily.service

You can disable all those services without breaking anything - but you should run the functions occasionally anyway.

Is there a simple way to disable mouse acceleration in linux mint 19.1 Cinamoon? A method with a gui would be really nice, or a command that works, I am asking because a lot of the info I looked at online was for older linux mints and other linuxm In a terminal you can use xinput and xset (and run ...

Yes, I unmounted the device properly and also the device had enough storage to write the data to it. Could you possibly have one of those "fake" USBs from ebay (advertised as "64GB" but it's only 4 or 8 GB).?

After rebooting, both 2 files were brought back though.

That is "puzzling evidence", there must be something else referring to them and re-creating them, but I'm clueless, maybe someone who knows more will have ideas.
