Linux Mint Forums

Hi I'm not an expert, but I think it might a be a good idea to check the Firewall, check for any "weird" rules, maybe try turning it off, if the problem still persists just turn it back on then may be check DNS server settings, see if anything weird going on in there i think xed /etc/resolv.conf & i...

There's already a stripped down, customisable browser in linux. It's called Lynx. no, thats a text-mode browser, & I already have shortcuts for my basic not so modern sites using "Links 2", it opens instantly & looks exactly the way i want it to, obviously you meant to ridicule me & not to actually...

It is the responsibility of individual sites to provide that kind of facility. no its not, we'r not talking about mobiles here, & im not talking about using their api, more like a stripped down web browser Do you really expect the devs to build SSBs for even a tiny fraction of the 1.8 billion web s...

Hello I'd like to suggest making a Mint "Site Specific Browser" mini app, i think google chrome & GNOME Web didnt do good job when it comes to what the users want, because the user want to feel like he's running an app not a browser but at same time must run smoother than a regular browser (not an E...

heres how a noob's history looks like: 1 295 29.5% sudo 2 45 4.5% python 3 44 4.4% xed 4 42 4.2% wget 5 38 3.8% echo 6 33 3.3% killall 7 32 3.2% mopidy 8 22 2.2% wine 9 22 2.2% flatpak 10 21 2.1% xinput meh , disappointed, really thought I'm more interesting that this

if you mean slow at "launching", yeah, firefox launches slower than my other browsers, by millisecs , i don’t mind that apart from launching performance seems great to me, goes without saying that add-ons can affect both launching speed & overall performance I think firefox always becomes slower aft...

Is there any language learning software, similar to Babbel & Rosetta Stone, for Linux? Any recommendations will be appreciated. Rosetta Stone runs ok with wine but the Mic is undetectable, everything else works great I suggest you use Anki , there are a lot of decks for most languages & you can lea...

This should do it, run this in a terminal window:

Code: Select all

dconf write /org/mate/settings-daemon/plugins/housekeeping/active 'false'
dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/housekeeping/active 'false'

That did the trick, thank you very much!

I think that did do something, propably stopped all "pop up" notifications? ..,however it didn’t stop this thing: https://s8.postimg.cc/qt6quat69/Screenshot_2018-09-01_14-15-08.png How about ticking the box on that warning? I did, I do :D , its the only thing I can do; but it only stops for that se...

I don't want any notifications at all. So what I did was # chmod 644 /usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/mate-notification-daemon That may be too extreme for you, but you can always change the perms back Joe hey, thank you for replying, I was starting to think no one cares :P I think that did do some...

im no expert but i remember once fixing typing in browser problem by: open terminal type in: onboard-settings go keyboard >>advanced >>Input eventtouch input:multitouch , Input event source: Xinput. or switch it back to GTK (try both?) you can prolly get the icon back by fiddling in General>>status ...

there was a time when i used doubleclick, didnt even think we'r allowed to choose one click, then my caja got broken or something, i double click yet nothing happens, checked the options & BAM!, i discovered a new way of living... i dont think one way is better then the other, because obviously the ...

I also use DuckDuckGo, because i like their terms of service, i resort to google occasionally,i think google's engine is smarter, i rarely need to rephrase with google, but its too mainstream for me -check the username- & i like siding with underdogs.

Nemo and Dolphin are going to run slower than Thunar in an Xfce system but it's not because of libraries per se. They're more powerful (esp. Dolphin) and have more features. Also, the file manager is actually very integrated with the DE it came with, and other file managers are rarely going to run ...

Hi jhalpin.

It's possible your sound is muted. Move your mouse around down there and you might faintly spot the icon.

yeah ,depending on your panel's color, the icon can go invisible when muted

if all fails check out Volti, I use it, its way better than the default

good luck.

Hello I'm wondering whether installing many software that require extra dependencies can cause slow downs to the whole system, for example i use Xfce but i use Nemo & like having Dolphin around, I realize than when I open Nemo it takes an extra sec to start & I don't mind that, my question is: if i ...

this is the kind of thing to get people clicking, yeah i know this is nothing
manjaro ms office online

..but then again

Hi
My partitions are always near full, its really no big deal & i don’t like to be alerted about it, im used to xfce i dont get the warning there
so is there a way to getting Mate to stop alerting me about the low space in my partitions?
Thanks a lot.

They only talk about the themes and the variants on which programs come preinstalled on which particular distribution, and over as they walk you through the interface, which is usually just a theme changer or maybe they take you on a tour of the preinstalled applications. I think appearances and pr...

thanks guys, took me two days ,I think I did well, time will tell how well.
