It's not clear to me if when you replaced "quiet splash" with "nomodeset" did you just do that during the boot process which is a one time temporary change, or did you modify the file /etc/default/grub ? On my system, I have to use "nomodeset" for every boot, so I have modified my /etc/default/grub ...

This site, by one of our forum members, Pjotr, has useful tips for installation and what to do after installation:

I hope this doesn't detract from what has gone before, but a question, and it involves writing, one or two spaces after a full stop? I always use one but came across a writer a day ago, originally a teacher, who insisted on two spaces. I was taught in school to use two spaces (USA circa late 1950's...

I think most people set up Redshift according to their geographic location so that it automatically shifts the spectrum of light from the screen according to the time of day. I prefer to use it in manual mode so that I can adjust the light appropriately for a sunny day or a cloudy/rainy day or night...

If you have done what I do - install mint on an external USB HDD, then install foxclone inside it and use it as both a boot drive and backup drive, then all you need to do is download the latest deb file. When downloaded, double click on it in your file manager and it will re-install foxclone with ...

Will put putting the latest version on the website tomorrow, UK time.

Best way to update previous version installed on USB HDD ?

There's already a link posted above to linuxcommand.org - just wanted to add my recommendation for "The Linux Command Line" book available from that site, especially as it's a free .pdf download!

I use redshift in manual mode with three different levels of brightness and keyboard shortcuts to select each one, as described in this post:

viewtopic.php?p=1610369#p1610369

Of course you could use more than three levels of brightness.

I modified the script (didn't bother to change comments) and started with the .iso file and the two checksum files in the folder, along with the script file: #!/bin/bash #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Save this ...

hi slipstick, i am not on a live system. It's pretty hard to get my head around this... but i managed! :) I will try to make the script work for other iso as well. Would be nice , its always such a hassle to verify. " I am not that good at math ... linuxmint-20-cinnamon-64bit.iso: OK Done." Great! ...

Looks like you didn't change the directory into the folder where the .iso is located before executing the command. In the link I posted with the script file, look at the output I got from running it - in the first line you can see where I changed directory into the folder containing my .iso, then I ...

I have had better luck verifying and authenticating LM iso's using a script file, as in this post: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1891954#p1891954 You can just copy it and follow the instructions at the top of the file. The script as written is for LM20 - modify it if using a different...

It was a nice brief article. Other than the small PDP1 notation, the article left out a lot about mini computers. Companies like, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Data General, Prime, Wang, and Apollo allowed small companies to own more affordable mini computers to help run their business. Most...

Here's a link to a Morse training program I ran across years ago. Just tried it again and the beep sound still works fine on my PC. Site says they use the Koch method - don't know if that is what you are looking for, but it appears they have separate adjustments for character speed and effective spe...

So you are running TB and FF in firejail. Only being able to access the Downloads folder is normal behavior in that case. For more info on firejail:

It sure sounds like you have Thunderbird running in a firejail sandbox. Open a terminal window and enter to check this. Post back your results.

I have it scanned into my computer as a pdf. Send me a PM with your e-mail and I'll send it to you. It's 17.7 MB.

Firejail is highly recommended! I run FF, Chromium, and Thunderbird firejailed. More info here: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/sandbox.html https://sourceforge.net/projects/firejail/files/ EasyLinuxTips recommends the LTS series or download the .deb file for the latest LTS. What was eas...

I don't know about 19.3 (booted into 18.3 ATM) but you could install Dconf-editor if it's not already installed (in the Software Manager).
