Re: Bios may be hacked but i have no clue.
That vulnerability is called "LogoFAIL". Here's the (very technical) article from the researchers that discovered it: https://www.binarly.io/blog/finding-logofail-the-dangers-of-image-parsing-during-system-boot The short of it is that many UEFI firmware manufacturers were caught red handed...

Re: IRC Chat offline - pls help
At times the SpotChat network, on which the Mint IRC channels are located, blocks mibbit. That means you can't use a web based IRC client. You will have to use an actual IRC client app. Like HexChat, that comes preinstalled with Linux Mint. On Linux Mint simply start it to connect to the Mint IRC ch...

Re: Linux Mint time incorrect after booting Windows
Do you drive a delorean maybe :) Or what's a "time fuse". From time of year I guess you mean DST is in effect. The problem is you have set Windows to use local time for the hardware clock and Linux to use UTC (universal) time. Because Windows and Linux read the hardware clock differently, ...

Re: Malware in xz (but don't panic: not in your Mint)
To the best of my understanding Flathub does not and did not ship xz with malware. [Open source] apps from Flathub are safe. For apps that require xz Flathub uses the Freedesktop runtime. That already downgraded xz to 5.4.6 but even before downgrading it did not include the malware because it downlo...

Re: Mint gooit steeds mijn achtergrond weg!
Ennnn hoe los ik dat op? :) De handmatige manier is in het /etc/fstab bestand. Maar het kan ook met het Disks programma, dat is eenvoudiger als je niet bekend bent met /etc/fstab. Ik weet de Nederlandse benamingen niet dus noem het in het Engels 1. Open het Disks (gnome-disks) programma en klik op ...

Re: Mint gooit steeds mijn achtergrond weg!
Waarschijnlijk omdat je de tweede HD gebruikt alsof het een externe schijf is, alsof het een USB stickie is. Dus dat je niet hebt gezorgd dat deze automatisch gemount wordt tijdens het opstarten van de computer maar dat deze pas gemount wordt nadat je de tweede schijf in je bestandsbeheerder opent. ...

JiaT75 on GitHub: https://github.com/JiaT75. In case he erases his account I've made a (ugly, but with working links) copy of their GitHub activity log. He contributed at least to libarchive and to Google's oss-fuzz, the latter maybe to make that not detect his xz malware. For libarchive somebody re...

Dat kan. Tijdens de installatie kan je het installatie type kiezen: Ubuntu naast Linux Mint installeren of de hele schijf gebruiken voor Ubuntu. Als je naast Linux Mint (of ander geïnstalleerd besturingssysteem) installeert krijg je een schuifje om mee te bepalen welk gedeelte van de schijf vrij te ...

Re: No Password was installed - total newbie - other stuff asking for password?
Ah. Seems I was ill informed by somebody else.
Instead of pressing the Escape key repeatedly after powering on the computer, press the down arrow key repeatedly after powering on the computer. That should get you into the menu instead of the useless grub> prompt.

Re: Python 3 editor that works?
How and why are you compiling Python code? Python is an interpreted language so normally there is no compile step, you just run your program after making edits.
In Geany simply click the run button.
