i'm using Linux Mint. I recently updated my workstation, and from this moment, my drivers went nuts. I was working fine before, with the nvidia-361 drivers, and, when i finished my updates, and after rebooting the PC, il was running in "software rendering mode". I finally get to have a correct desktop, but now, i'm quite sure the card isn't fonctionning properly, because i can't launch any simple game with 3D (like blazeRush for example, wich was running fine before). This is the result of a lspci -vnnn 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller : NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] [10de:0e22] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] [1458:34fc] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 124 Memory at dc000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at d8000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] I/O ports at e000 [size=128] Expansion ROM at de000000 [disabled] [size=512K] Capabilities: Power Management version 3 Capabilities: MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [b4] Vendor Specific Information: Len=14 Capabilities: Virtual Channel Capabilities: Power Budgeting Capabilities: Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=024 Kernel driver in use: nouveau Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_375_drm, nvidia_375 As you can see, the kernel driver in use is "nouveau", but i would like to use nvidia_375 instead. I already tried to purge with apt like this sudo apt purge *nvidia* xserver-xorg*nouveau* bbswitch* but when i do that, after a reboot, "nouveau" is still here ... i can try to install again the proprietary drivers, but i will be back in the same situation as before the purge. I'm running out of options.

At our company we run a Remote Desktop Gateway with RemoteApps Does anyone have a good and easy way to connect and use these from within Linux Mint 18.3? Been trying different things and a work around is an openVPN server and just connect directly to the Domain Controller and Remote Desktop Server. It would how ever be very neat to be able to just launch the RemoteApp instead.

I am using Linux Mint and my workmates are using Windows. We've got a local, shared server (also Linux) for documentation files and a weird thing happened yesterday: a windows user created a file (.odm) and after I changed it, the ownership of the file changed to me and all the other users, including the one who created it, had permission only to read it, although, initially (before I edited it) everyone could read, write and execute. I don't know what information I need to give to make context clearer, but I'd like to understand how that happened. I mean, it seems very weird for a different user to be able to change permissions and ownership of a shared server's file. The server is running samba, and all the clients are using that to access the files.

I have a USB stick that contains the folders "theme" and "icons". I want to copy those two folders to the /home/andrew/.config folder of my computer or any other computer. How can I do that using the terminal? I am on a Linux Mint Xfce system.

I installed Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon over Windows 8 recently on an Acer Aspire E1-570. http://www.acer.com.au/ac/en/AU/content/model/NX.MEPSA.004 Everything seems to be working fine, however I notice that my fan seems to be on at high speed a lot of the time. Can someone please tell me definitive troubleshooting steps that are relevant to this distro. Also if there are commands that I can run to get the relevant system information required to troubleshoot the issue it would be great to know these too. **Edit** In case it is relevant, the screen brightness applet control wasn't working so I followed steps below - perhaps that altered something? me@computer ~ $ ls /sys/class/backlight/ acpi_video0 intel_backlight sudo touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf and then added this to the file: Section "Device" Identifier "card0" Driver "intel" Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" BusID "PCI:0:2:0"EndSection http://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/ Sensors also seems to be mentioned in other posts so I typed it into the command and this was the output: me@computer ~ $ sensors coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Physical id 0: +44.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 0: +44.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 1: +44.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) **More System Information** me@computer ~ $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor ondemand me@computer ~ $ inxi -Fxz System: Host: computer Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 (64 bit, gcc: 4.8.2) Right-click > "Open image in new tab" to see image at full size.

I'm using dual boot Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon and Windows XP. So I want change grub2 black screen and I've tried to install gfxmenu theme for grub but it is not working; I see it's not installed in grub but in boot directory. I've tried also grub-customizer tool but it also does not work. ftp://cathbard.com/binary/cathbard-grub-mint-ladder_0.0.1-1_all.deb Above link is a file of grub ladder that I've installed.

I have been getting the errors *Please switch to another Linux Mint mirror* and *Your APT configuration is corrupt* in Update Manager for the past week. I restored the default settings, so the error should not be due to the mirror. After reading a thread on forums.linuxmint.com about this issue, I ran a deep clean operation using BleachBit as suggested by a couple of users. Does this work? I tried refreshing Update Manager after the deep clean, but it's taking a long time and displaying *Updating cache: Waiting for mint-refresh-ca to exit*.

So here is my trouble - i put my laptop with Linux Mint 17 to hibernation and after i decided to resume session i see only a black screen so i am now to start in recovery mode. I don't need to restore that session - i just want to get my Linux back to work. What is the way to edit GRUB loading script to just start new session? Now it looks like this I also moved a RESUME file from /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/ - still no luck - got black screen. Any ideas?

Can I type Korean using Linux mint 17.2 Cinnamon using fcitx? I have check several post, which told me that I can use iBus to type Korean. But I am using fcitx to type other Language like Chinese. If I change my type method to iBus, I cannot type Chinese. I checked this post , there is a solution that said that I can install following package to type Korean. * General packages for Cinnamon:

fcitx fcitx-ui-classic fcitx-config-gtk fcitx-frontend-gtk3

* Specific package for Korean:

fcitx-hangul

However after I installed this package, configure fcitx, logout and login, I cannot add Korean type method to fcitx.

Officially, upgrading the KDE version of Linux Mint 17.3 to 18 is not supported , because "Linux Mint 18 KDE will use a new and different desktop called Plasma". I presume this means that the KDE4 to KDE5 upgrade process is not trivial. The official way to upgrade is to do a clean reinstall. I use Linux Mint on my main (scientific computing) workstation, and would much rather not do a clean reinstall: following advice, my /home/ is not on a separate partition, I have several different (non-physical!) users installed, and the official installers just want to wipe everything and start again. I'd really much rather not. What I'd like to do is update all of the apt sources to point at the right place, do an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and go home for the evening. As it stands at the moment, quite a few things randomly break every time I do an apt-get update (at the last one, nvidia drivers, cuda, and xfce due to a change in dbus!). I _like_ the look of Plasma, and the live usb of 18.2 runs great on my computer. I _want to upgrade_ *without* wiping _everything_. This is far from an unreasonable request. I have't heard of anyone else doing this _successfully_ for KDE Mint 17.3, and I'd like to know if it's possible. mintupgrade certainly thinks not. I'd like to try. What happens if you just do something stupid, like sed -i 's/trusty/rosa/' /etc/apt/sources.list?

There may be a simple answer to this, but if there is, I'm not aware of it. I've downloaded the latest GitHub release of Neovim, because the one in the apt repositories is outdated by a few major versions. After following the installation instructions on the GitHub page, the nvim executable is placed in /opt/nvim-linux-x86_64/bin. From there, I can simply add it to my PATH in my .bashrc. This works fine for terminal use, but what if I got lazy and wanted to open files via the graphical file browser? It works fine with the apt version, because that is a deb package and everything. In the "Default Applications" app on Mint I've tried setting the default app for source code and text files as the nvim executable. It says it works, but when I try to double-click on a text file to open it, it doesn't. I've tried it numerous times, and I also tried adding the %U flag to it, to no avail. So as the title says, how can I set this version of nvim as my default app for text/source files?

My OS Linux Mint 18.3, xfce, 64 bit. Have tried e.g. this: Have also tried to install Zoom from application center and also from zoom website. I have also tried the suggested solutions here. Can anybody give me an idea how to solve the problem? And: I am not a professional linux user, almost a newby... Thanks a lot!

I'm relatively new to linux mint(4-5 months in [loving it!]) and I have a 2TB USB 3.0 HDD connected (WD Drive in the photo) I'm trying to shrink the main NTFS Partition on said drive, and it says max and min size are the same, therefore i cant change it if you need more info drop a comment

Just received a Sager NHx0DB,DE w/ i7-10870H CPU & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile GPU. Cinnamon Mint 22.1 Xia was preinstalled by Freegeek.org a no-support community non-profit refurbisher. I installed the latest open source Nvidia video driver and rebooted as it instructed, but now it boots then stops, showing the green LinuxMint logo. How do I reboot back into the original Intel video driver, or into a safe mode. and remove that nVidia driver?

So, I'm using Linux Mint 21.3 with MATE 1.26.0. I've noticed that my system supports a number of nonstandard flag emoji. I'm wondering what part of the system is responsible for this, if this is documented anywhere, and where the files or source for this can be found. Since I'm guessing not everyone is familiar: In addition to its mechanism for national flags, Unicode also has a mechanism for flags of subnational entities. However, this mechanism is mostly unused, with only the flags of England, Scotland, and Wales being officially supported according to the standard (the reason being, as I understand it, that the Unicode Consortium quickly realized that this would get completely out of hand if they allowed it to go any further). I've noticed that my computer actually supports a number of nonstandard subnational flags: American states and DC; Canadian provinces and territories; Mexican states and its federal district; and Northern Ireland (which officially doesn't even have a flag, but one is displayed regardless). Maybe there's more, but other subnational entities I thought to try (such as American territories or Australian states) didn't work. As an example, if your computer is like mine, this will display the flag of Delaware: 🏴󠁵󠁳󠁤󠁥󠁿 (my apologies to the Unicode Consortium for including a nonstandard emoji in general interchange! :P ) You might be wondering, why would I even think to try this, given that certainly I've never seen such nonstandard emoji in the wild, and had to assemble them myself out of the necessary non-printable code points (I mean with a script obviously, not by hand!), after inferring what those would be? The answer is that I got curious about the possibility after seeing [this MIT Mystery Hunt puzzle](https://puzzles.mit.edu/2024/mythstoryhunt.world/puzzles/crossed-fingers-memo-puzzle) the other year, which includes some US state flags as "emoji". Of course, the emoji in that puzzle are actually images, so there's no requirement for them to be actual emoji on anyone's system, but it got me wondering about the possibility, leading me to try out creating such nonstandard emoji on my own system, and, to my surprise, it worked. (I wonder if the writers of that puzzle were aware of this? Just realizing I didn't think to try contacting them... oh well.) (Edit: Actually, maybe I have seen this in the wild on one occasion? I forget, my memory's a bit fuzzy here. It's not important to the question anyway.) Anyway yeah this has been bugging me and I'm wondering if anyone knows what is responsible for this and where I could find more info. Thanks all!

The computer in question is one that I've set up for my mother-in-law, but I can remotely access it anytime via TeamViewer. She is only using it for browsing web via Chrome, and so far it's worked great, but lately she's complained that some websites are displaying visual artifacts. More details: * It runs Linux Mint, latest version with automatic updates. * It's an older machine - Phenom II X2 550 CPU, 6GB of RAM, Radeon 6450 GPU (passively cooled), Samsung 860 Evo SSD. Still powerful enough for web browsing. * The glitches usually are either black blocks or gray/blank areas. Kind of reminds me of GPU memory corruption, however the symptoms don't quite match. * They are reliably reproducible in the same webpages in the same places. Other webpages don't have them. * It's not a monitor glitch - I can see them over through TeamViewer. * Rebooting does not help. * Enabling experimental Vulcan support in Chrome has helped a lot, but some places still have them. * Running a few online 3D WebGL benchmarks don't exhibit any corruption * Firefox seems to run fine, but she's used to Chrome, so I'd rather not change that. * The glitches don't seem to line up with any HTML elements * The glitches scroll with the webpage * The desktop environment itself as well as other apps (that I tried at least) don't exhibit any corruption, HOWEVER: * When I tried viewing her computer over TeamViewer today, I noticed that my connection seems to freeze at times. At one point I even had to reconnect. I wanted to chalk that down to flaky internet (although we both have broadband cable), but then she told me that the freezes were happening on her side as well - so it wasn't the internet that was freezing, but rather her whole PC. I tried looking for evidence in logfiles, but all I could find was a hang and a core dump of systemd-udevd which might have lined up with the biggest freeze. Not much else to go on, but I also don't know where to look. * She also complained that lately some of the little arcade games that she likes to play on the web (solitaire, mahjong, breakout-clones, etc) have become much slower - albeit no glitches. I can't make up my mind if this feels more like a software bug or a hardware bug. Hardware bugs are usually more all-encompassing than just a single app in specific places. But visually it resembles hardware bugs and systemd-udevd is related to hardware... **Any ideas what could be the problem, or where I should look for more evidence?** Unfortunately I don't have any screenshots, but here's an interesting cellphone photo she sent me. Note in particular the cloud icons that overlap the glitches. I later connected to her computer (after it had been rebooted) and reproduced this view EXACTLY (which is another strike against hardware bugs - they're usually more random). This particular glitch went away after enabling the Vulcan support, but later she discovered other webpages that still have these glitches.

i did a search on google for "what version of linux uses theMediaTek 7902." The answer came back as: > The MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7902 wireless network adapter is not natively > supported by the Linux kernel. However, the driver for the MT7902 was > added in the Linux 6.6.12 kernel series, and you can install these > recent kernels to enable support. Ubuntu recommends using its mainline > builds for this purpose. OK I installed LinuxMint 22.3 here as a dual boot. My Windows works with the mediatek but I have no idea how to add the Linux 6.6.12 kernel series. Any simple answers for a newbie?

I've found a number of posts across forums and on archwiki that reference the following solution for this laptop model echo 1 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/VPC2004\:00/conservation_mode This should essentially activate conservation mode for the machine (note: From what I can find the Legion7i classes itself as an ideapad, rather than a thinkpad) **My issue:** I can not get the file to shift from 0 to 1. **Tried:** The above command as su in terminal AND changing permissions to ensure rw access, and editing via text editor. In every instance when I check the output from the file, its 0. **Note:** I dual boot win10. For a time, when setting battery conservation mode on in win10, it would hold for when I booted in to linux. Now, regardless of what OS I boot into, the system seems to revert back to conservation mode off every time. Ive found no relevant settings to battery power/management in the BIOS (ver 4.05). Im no advanced user, so any info would be great. even if the answer is "cant be done, your machine wont allow it", thanks!
