I have installed a global dark theme but recently when I had to edit a 'doc' file, I noticed the icons of the program are impossible to see. Choosing another set didn't change much, so I did a Google search and found this answer: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/103944/how-do-you-turn-off-t...

+1 for uBlock Origin, if these images are ads. I've never heard of Quora before, so whether uBO can fix the problem or not, you will have to test it yourself.

I downloaded Krusader and made all the settings I needed but now that I wanna store them for future use, I can't find them. They're not in ~/.confg nor they are in ~/.local/share. And most definitely they're not in any of the locations mentioned here: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/extragear-utils/k...

I assume that the Mozilla Firefox developers give a much higher priority to fixing an open security vulnerability, than fixing a nasty technical annoyance. Which is a wrong policy because from that vulnerability will suffer only a handful of people, whereas most won't even notice it or know about i...

Note: Due to a newly detected security vulnerability in Firefox 66.0.0, we can now rewrite the thread title and question as: "When will will get Firefox 66.0.1?" Cf. Firefox 66.0.1 I'm more interested in getting a fix for that sleep problem I mentioned above. I got the Firefox 66 update today on Mi...

Thank you!! I disabled the onboard graphics in BIOS and Mint booted up normally. All the other anomalies seem to be gone as well! This was so strange because I wouldn't imagine the graphics can affect the ability to install updates. Edit the title of your first post and add a "[SOLVED]" in front of...

Ideally, I would like a computer so fast that it provides the answers I seek before I have asked my question. While I am waiting for that to becomes a possibility, I will have to rebuild my current computer if I ever come to think that it is slow :) All the hardware and speeds would mean nothing, i...

Wow, first off thanks for the fast response! That looks a bit too complex for my skill level, Is that the only way to fix grub? It's not hard at all. Once upon a time I used to think that too but after the first time I tried it, I changed my mind. It only looks hard and complex but it's not. ;)

The First One was a Pentium IV at 2.0 GHz but it lasted less than a year - it was killed by a lightning, then I bought another PC with newer generation Pentium IV at 2.66 GHz by Hewlett-Packard which served me faithfully several years (and surprisingly still works under the management of the person ...

I always assumed the Star Wars reference came first. Considering it started in 1991 with Heir To The Empire , I think it's reasonable to assume it was the first one. I've never been a fan of Star Wars (I'm a fan of other "Star" movies and tv shows - Stargate, Star Trek), so idk about these movies b...

IDK what exactly you've done to grub but here's the right way to fix it:

And if you're gonna use grub-customizer, use version 5.0.6. This is the only version that works best with Mint 18.3 without causing any errors.

What's with the name "Wayland" that keeps popping up everywhere? First there was a Wayland on almost all "Aliens", then there's a Wayland on Death Race 3 and lately this name started appearing on Linux forums and FB groups where users sometimes mention it along with a problem they have. There are so...

Who would have thought Microsoft would be the one to improve Chromium browser? https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/202487/microsoft-plans-to-bring-smooth-scrolling-to-chromium There's no such a thing as "Micro$oft improving" anything! They'll simply ruin it and stuff it with telemetry and t...

When do we get Firefox 66 for Mint? Antergos users already have it and 65 has a nasty bug which I'm hoping it has been fixed in 66. Synaptic reads the latest available Firefox is 65.

Anyway in my VM install of Mint there is no option to do an install somewhere else Yes, there is. But for that option to work, first you must make settings to the VM when it's turned off - attach the USB stick to the real machine and in settings you have to add the flash drive as a storage device, ...

Sounds like a bug in Steam related to your distro (Mint 19, right?). I have no problems whatsoever with putting the computer to sleep and the screen turns itself off when 15 minutes expire. If you do a Google search for "linux steam client prevents sleep", you'll see you're not the only one with thi...

I was just talking to a person who wouldn't believe that this would work, not to you in particular. Altough in this case you ARE the unbeliever.

I'm not really sure how your proposed installation setup would differ in practice or in effect from booting to the Mint "live" environment and running the installer process from that. It would differ because if you run the live env. from the real machine, the installer will detect the storage devic...

Setting aside those specific questions just momentarily, the first issue to be aware of would be the Ubuntu installer bug that can arise when installing Mint to a USB stick. Its has potentially destructive results for the existing boot setup on the machine where that process is carried out. Dependi...
