File Icon Preview in Mint

Post by Tedeye »

I'm using Mint on my notebook. I have some video files that I attach a preview icon to with iTunes,. The preview icons show up in every OS I've tried so far - Windows, Mac and Ubuntu, but for some reason don't show up in Mint. I know they're there cause the show up elsewhere, but is there some say I can get them working in Mint? Thanks.

Without knowing what desktop version of LM you are using and the file viewer you are using it will be hard to troubleshoot.
In terminal copy & paste the following command and post the results back here in between the code display brackets </>

Thank you for the reply Kato. I download Mint via a link on Mints website. I believe it is the Cinnamon desktop, but here is the Terminal output:


ystem:
Kernel: 5.4.0-91-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.3.0
Desktop: Cinnamon 5.0.7 Distro: Linux Mint 20.2 Uma
base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal


Thanks again.
