Hello, I just installed Ulyana (Linux Mint 20) Cinamon Version. Wine application came with it . https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_ulyana_cinnamon.php says: To install the complete version of WINE, open a terminal and type: apt install wine-installer Among other things, this will install wine-desktop-fi...

After successfully installing Wine after following some not good tutorials, this error box pops up after I log in (see attached image). It looks like it has something to do with Wine. I was curious to know if anyone had any suggestions on a fix? Is it as dire as the error is making it sound? There'...

is the folder .mozilla present on home? EDIT: just for fun, I searched firefox and got a ton sub-attached to wine. I have no idea why there is FF attached to wine. It's actually not; what wine calls "z:" is your "/" directory, so (from your picture) .../z:/usr/bin/firefox is just /usr/bin/firefox ,...

This might be a bit cheeky of Mint-devs, but I used "sudo apt remove firefox*" and it did and declared the free space saved etc, so I rebooted. If I click the Firefox icon still in the bar at the bottom left, it launches Firefox 78.0.1 with the Mint home page. If I try the "sudo ..." again, it says...

The output has gone to https://termbin.com/wyk0 The issue is that I can't stop PA from spawning with autospawn = no in client.conf with Linux Mint 20. How about sudo mv /usr/bin/pulseaudio /usr/bin/pulseaudio.save ? A note: recent firefox versions require pulseaudio, you can get around that with pa...

man ll Anyway, I ran that command to see what the username ownership groups are. Everything is listed with my desktop username twice in a row. It's an 'alias', set in your .bashrc file: $ alias ll alias ll='ls -alF' drwxr-xr-x 32 linuxman linuxman 4096 Jul 4 14:17 ./ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun...

Do I need to run a chmod or chown (CHange OWNer) command on /home to fix the permissions issue back in time is currently experiencing? What options would I use for read/write and execute permissions for my /home folder? If you can login into the linux system OK, do this (own everything): sudo chown...

I use the terminal a lot and made some simple scripts, mostly to cut down on typing. $ cat Find #!/bin/bash # find files with case-insensitive name, assume wild-cards # if [ $# -lt 1 ] then echo "Usage: Find pattern [pattern2]" exit 1 fi if [ $# -lt 2 ] then find -iname "*$1*" exit 0 fi find -iname ...

Any guiding posts for changing its kernel to 4.15.0? It's pretty easy; Update Manager -> View -> Linux Kernels -> the rest is pretty obvious. I dunno whether or not this will become your default kernel when you reboot; you might have to fiddle with grub and/or show the grub menu when you boot, and ...

Yes, I did. I just purchased this used laptop few days before posted here. My ones is legacy boot system? I purchased this because of its processor is i7 gen 3. Is there any difference on UEFI and legacy boot? Also, I open program will be delayed Few seconds and lagged as well such as Google chrome...

Why the update manager isn't proposing me a kernel update?

What LanceM said, plus I don't think it suggests updates from one kernel series to another, IOW, it'll offer updates to a later version of 5.3.x, but not from 5.3 to 5.4

It is normal? My laptop is T430 with i7 gen 3 and DDR3 4GB That sounds abnormally slow. You might have some sort of "issue" or "problem". Is there anything I should do to solve on this? Yeah, first read, as it says right above the posting text box, "Before you post please read how to get help" http...

Every two-three minutes, everything will freeze for a few seconds, then it goes back to normal. It slows my work so much.
Kernel: 5.3.0-59-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.4.8

I had that happening with the 5.3 kernels; kernels 4.15.x and/or 5.4.x didn't have the problem.

I am using the steam AP which comes with Linux Mint. Home page is the problem it down loads there and then creates a shortcut in the steam AP.

Are you using "page" to mean a directory/partition on your local machine?

I probably wouldn't use linux if not for wine; under wine, these applications run at least as well as the inferior linux equivalents (e.g. Photoshop under wine starts faster and can handle bigger images than the linux gimp, plus having superior effects and much better GUI. Same goes for audition vs ...

Hello I am on mint 19.3 I installed virtualbox to run an old win7 . When i run virtual machine win7 i get an error :Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) ... root@nick-OCTO:~# modprobe vboxdrv modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-39-generic Try (re)installing v...

Thanks for the reply, but perhaps we're seeing different things. For example...here's how the URLs show up when copied from Facebook: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FCMXxq0a4te4M%3Ffbclid.... Yeah, you're attacking a more general problem, and that URL is like the inverse of ...

I don't like Facebook inserting lots of junk into links to other sites. To avoid that, I right-click the link, and copy it to the clipboard. I then use the following nemo script to clean the URL and take me to the appropriate site: I don't know enough about scripting to help in that area, but it's ...

I seems like I have a problem with this server mirror.unlockforus.com. All your input will be appreciated . Yes, and you can easily test that with a browser: http://mirror.unlockforus.com/ "Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at mirror.unlockforus.com." unlockforus....
