Linux Mint Forums

To All; the following is basically a cry for help, Here is a capsulized version of the last few weeks. I wanted to have a way to send and receive phone calls for my business when I was away from my shop, and I have never in my life had a cellphone. With that in mind, I went to the local “Verizon” st...

To All, Sadly, I do not have good news, but I did not want to neglect the forum for too long. So far, my new cellphone is actually working; that is it is capable of making and receiving calls, but apparently with a different Internet provider. I do not know any of this for sure, because the billing ...

To all, especially AZgl1500, Tonight a spent about an hour on the phone with various "Departments", mostly in typed-in "conversations" and talked to two actual people and finally found out the the "Department" that I needed does not work weekends. Sadly, I expected this...

To AZgl1500,

First, Thank you.

Next, when I make the call you described, should I make it on the cellphone or my land line? Would I able to take care of this at the Verizon office?

To All, Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! And keep them coming! I have not yet started to use the phone regularly (I have made and received one phone call so far), as I have been rather busy and am not confident yet as to how to use it. Also, they told me that it would be a few days befo...

To All, I just reread all these posts, and want you all to know that I am still working on a solution, BUT, I have a couple of other problems that will delay things for awhile. Since I own my own business (Hand made leather goods), I am sort of swamped with Christmas orders. On top of that, I just g...

Hello, Having been using and enjoying Linux for years, I have been greatly helped in the Forums, but have never strayed into non-Linux questions, but here goes: At 75 years of age, I just got my FIRST cellphone, and am learning how to use it. My question here is whether to keep it charged as much as...

To All, First, I have been away from the Internet since last Thursday (Nov. 18) due to a problem with Verizon, my phone and Internet provider. It is a long frustrating story, so I’ll skip that part and try to move onto the present. With this in mind, it may be a couple of days before I get back this...

To All, First, I have been away from the Internet since last Thursday (Nov. 18) due to a problem with Verizon, my phone and Internet provider. It is a long frustrating story, so I’ll skip that part and try to move onto the present. Since things have been piling up for me since last Thursday, I proba...

To All, Apparently I got a couple of responses while I was figuring out how to take and mount a screenshot. Honestly, I had no idea that anyone would respond to this post so fast! Now I will digest the new information and see if I can make any of it work. Thanks again, and I really apologize for the...

To All, I have tried everything that I can think of, (but then I am not an expert) to find some way to put either or both of a launcher and the image that goes with it into a folder without having them disappear from the Desktop and especially from the system tray. So far nothing that I have tried h...

To All, (I should type this at the beginning of every post that I put into forums) Over the years I have learned that many, or maybe all, editions of Linux have different qualities, or aspects, in that many times an explanation for a problem that works for the author does not work for me. For instan...

Hello, Sadly, I do not know what you are talking about. For instance, how do I find, or open, or write, or whatever it is, to get to "/home/you/.local/share/icons"? Is this something that already exists somewhere in my computer, is it something to type into the Terminal? I honestly do not ...

To absque fenestris and all, First, thank you. Next, I had no idea what Caja is, and still don't quite understand it. Sadly, all I want to know right now is how to clean up my desktop, which is covered with icons, and many of the icons have graphics in them. like the "Google" icon mentione...

Hello, I have been using Linux Mint Mate for a few years now, and my desktop (that meaning the screen that I see when I log on, not the computer itself) is cluttered with icons. I wonder if there is a way to get them out of the way without losing them. As a for-instance, I have an icon on my desktop...

To Kester, Thank you again. If you notice, in my "Signature" below my posts, I now have Linux 20.2 Mint on two of my three machines. I will undoubtedly upgrade the third one, my desktop, soon. I have enjoyed Linux so much that I deleted (or erased, or whatever the proper term is) Windows f...

To All, Get this! On top of all my other problems, my Verizon modem stopped working, and it has taken me since last Saturday to straighten it out. So....I'm a little late in responding to these posts. The final story is painfully simple; I finally got the friend's laptop loaded with Linux 20.2 Mint ...

To All,

At 75 years, about half of everything I do is a PITA.

Thanks to all for your help,

BoDill

To Kester, This is not important, but since you replied to my posts, I thought you might enjoy this; I took my friend's computer, now loaded with Mint 20.2 Mate, over to his place last night, and started explaining what had happened. When I started talking, and I mean as soon a I set the computer do...

To Kester and all, I may have jumped the gun here, as I started this post due to the malfunction of the SPACE key, Then, I found that the "Backspace" key also did not work. Since then, (and the fact that I got it to work with an external keyboard) I tried a few other things, like numbers. ...
