thanks altair4.

client max protocol = SMB3

that did it.

i tried to add that line to my raspberry pi machine, but it didn't work. i figured since they are both based on debian it would work. oh well

so from what i've read so far since MS has disabled SMB version 1 in their last update this breaks sharing access from linux. I can't connect from linux mint or from raspbian any longer. re-enabling SMBv1 on windows 10 brings share access back, but i know there are security issues with SMBv1. i've t...

damn i didnt know that. very nice trick. thanks

seems when i am streaming a video from youtube or any other site i have hard time clicking open the volume icon. very erratic. takes a few clicks before responding.

works flawlessly otherwise.

any suggestions? thnx

running mint 18.2
kernel: 4.4.0-97-generic

Since only root can create partitions it is the owner by default.
Sounds as if you did everything properly.

thanks, makes sense i guess. now i am wondering why i never had this issue before?? oh well.

using linux mint 18.1 created a second partition in a HDD with gparted without a problem. but then i realized i couldn't write to it. after some googling i tried changing ownership of the partition using chown. it worked, but i don't understand why this happened. never happened before. i was logged ...

Hi callmejoe, You're using the command correctly, I don't think package management ever touches anything in the users home directory, so any files created by the app's first run (like creating config files in your home directory) will not be removed by purging and would have to be deleted manually....

i am using sudo apt-get purge instead of sudo apt-get remove thinking purge should remove all config folders and files. but every time i use it i still see remnants of the deleted programs. am i not using this correctly? latest instance was purging Kodi. i still have the hidden kodi folder in my hom...

well i got gdevilspie gui to start. i just copied the gdevilspie file from /usr/bin folder from another install.

and now everything is working as it should again.

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove --purge devilspie gdevilspie

Afterwards, reboot to make sure devilspie isn't running then reinstall.

purged and reinstalled. still same behavior.

i've been using devilspie for a year or so. has been working flawlessly until now. i jsut created a new rule to reposition my Thunderbird mail window upon opening and it just doesnt want to work. if i open up a terminal and run devilspie when Thunderbird is open it is does move the window. just not ...

i've made a persistent linux mint 18.1 live usb with unetbootin. if i boot my PC and bring up the boot order menu (F12) i can choose the USB. unetbootin menu screen comes up, choose linux mint, and boots up fine. from there if i choose to restart the PC (soft boot) and don't bring up the boot order ...

had to purge nvidia drivers. switch to nouveua, then reinstall the nvidia drivers. now i can switch back and forth between drivers. the whole reason i spent 2 days trying to get this to work was to troubleshoot some behaviour in my win 10 guest install in virtual box. turns out problem wasn't with t...

well yes that would work.

man i feel like an idiot. i never added the pkla extension to the file. working fine now. ugh

running linux mint 17.3 for about 2 years now. started with nouveau driver. never a problem. changed to the nvidia driver. never a problem. now i switched back to nouveau to trouble shoot some things and i am stuck in this low resolution rendering mode. any idea how to get out of it? thanks Linux 4....

've been disabling passwords for programs that use polkit added pkla file to /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/ containing: Identity=unix-group:sudo Action=* ResultActive=yes this works, but not when i VNC into the linux box. when i am connected with vnc i still get prompted for passwords.

thanks lostfarmer. worked perfectly.

thanks for the help!

If you just edited grub.cfg it would be changed when linux did some updates. will give you 2 links to look at.

I would try adding "drivemap -s (hd0) (hd1)" to the grub win7 boot code. https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#drivemap it is in the win10 boot code and not needed. If you know how-- boot to the grub menu- select win7 and press 'e' to edit, right after 'parttool ${root} hidde...
