Linux Mint Forums

Yuor picture doesn't really say much, other than you have plenty of room in "/" for an OS (60GB: a linux/Mint OS is more likely to take 5GB to 30GB) - so if it's probably filled with stuff in your /home. Or it could be gigantic log files, or a LOT of old kernels. To find out, try this: df and sudo d...

I like to ensure I'm getting the best quality, so I list the youtube output formats and download the one with the best audio quality, which IS NOT the one you get by default. E.g. $ youtube-dl -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y6ruIXYmXY | grep -v "video only" [info] Available formats for 8Y6ruIXY...

In a command line try ffmpeg or avconv (which replaced ffmpeg...?). The syntax might be not much fun... But "avidemux" with a GUI will do that, IIRC without re-encoding, quite easily if the files are the same type and size (pixels). IIRC avidemux not in the repos but you can get a appimage or some s...

I have a huge(2.1 GB) file in my root directory called "swapfile". This is just a regular file, not a linux swap partition. ... I would like to delete it. Is it safe? You could shrink it, unless, @catweazel, you want to suspends, etc. I have a 4GB desktop and a 100MB swap file, AFAIK, never used. I...

You might look here:

Also try this, in case it exists but isn't in your $PATH, as mentioned in the link above. (my only results were some icons, but I don't have VS installed).

I first tried going to Settings > Administration > Login Window but the setting isn't there. I also tried changing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf so it looks like this: [Seat:*] greeter-show-manual-login=false autologin-guest=false autologin-enable=true autologin-user=USERNAME autologin-user-timeout=0 a...

Are there any instances or circumstances in which file system operations like copying files from one place to another, or similar operations could be performed by/within the file manager (CAJA) as administrator with SU rights and thus the ownership of the files would be switched from ownership of t...

What should I do: replace all instances of iridium-browser with firefox, or delete all instances of iridium-browser? If you uninstalled it, yes, delete the files. (Those files are some of the junk left over after software package delete/purge) ~/.config/mimeapps.list I have not done this yet, but i...

Try and see if there a desktop file for the old browser (Iridium). If so, remove it, (and maybe log out/back-in)
If not, try which should find chromium or Iridium

Edit:
Also check

...In addition I have a second hard drive as in spinning device not a SSD. The problem that I ran into was creating two partitions on the second drive to be formatted to Ext4. I used GParted to do this but ran into a wall when I tried to rename the partitions to something that made sense to me. I w...

But what is you boot to desktop, then logout with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to test other desktops? You have to login back with root user - and what is the password then? I do logout/login to another desktop, and just use my normal username; and in the default mint setup, there is no actual 'root' login u...

The problems start when the ordinary memory (which is limited to 3,7 GB) becomes fully utilized and Mint begins to use the swap file. I made a very generous swap file of 15 gb, but as soon as it begins to use disk instead of memory, the system becomes extremely slow and unresponsive. It takes ages ...

I change my appearance over time by getting old!

I'll go away now...

Did you try the standard debug methods for browsing problems: safe mode, new profile?

I installed
SubtitleWorkshop_6.0b_131121_installer.exe
and it seems to work - starts up, anyway. Click to embiggen: Edit: it didn't like an mp4 file which plays fine on smplayer but it did like an avi file.

1 - Do you know some equivalent program as "Subtitle Workshop" for Mint? 2 - Must I install Wine to install that Windows application? Or there is a better option than Wine? 3 - Must I expect some kind of degradation with speed and stability as Wine (or other emulator) is get installed? 4 - (Yes, I'...

I had a deuce of a problem installing Brave. I decided to uninstall it and start over. Fine. But in my /etc/apt/sources.list.d there are three entries for Brave I cannot delete: brave.list, brave.listsudo and brave-tina.list. These three files are protected from deletion and are also preventing me ...
