I used Firefox for a long time, but switched to Brave Browser at some point. And I've been using Nord VPN for a couple of years now. I have no complaints so far.

I don't have a single useful thing to add to this thread, but I do submit an observation. I been following this thread, ok, most of the threads here, just to add to my own personal knowledge. And it's fascinating to see how a lot of the threads, including this one, often stray far from the...

I hope I offended no one when I posted my golf course experience. I'm not knocking the game of golf, or any other sport. I'm just one of those people that have little interest in sports in general.

Well, I've been using Linux Mint for a little over a year now. So, no expert. But I know more about Linux than I do golf. True story here. The last time I was on a golf course was the summer of 1973. I took a shortcut while riding my Suzuki TS185 trail bike. The shortcut took me right through...

Update. I figured it out! I found the command "ip addr show" and ran it on the problem machine. Somehow, and I don't know how, 10.0.0.131 has been changed to 10.0.0.132. After that, all I had to do was go to the other computers and run sftp://[email protected]/ in Nemo on each one, add it...

Thanks for the input guys. I'll keep gnawing at the issue. I do understand that some things are easier done from the CLI. However, I'm not working on a network with 6000 computers. Just 3 or 4, all with just one user. In fact, all four computers are set up as close to exactly the same as I...

Hi GatorsFan. And thanks for the tip. I checked out the suggested thread. That may be the way I have to wind up going but I need to learn a little more. For one, in the example commands given, is the word "localhost" meant to be entered verbatim or should an IP address be substituted? Same for...

Well, apparently the issue has evolved rather than resolved. I disabled suspend on both boxes and rebooted with no effect. However, Just to check, I fired up the laptop, Same thing.Here's where it now stands vis a vis connectivity on my little home set up. All 3 computers running 21.3. On all...

I tried resetting the router. No change. Screen saver is already on. I could turn off suspend, but doing so doesn't tell me what the issue is. I can live with the odd behavior, I just want to know what the actual problem is and thought perhaps one of you learned folks have ran into this problem...

So, I've got a small home setup using a ISP ( comcast ) provided router. Two computers, both running Mint 21.3 and a printer. Ok, I've got two more, but the laptop is shut down right now and the Mint/ widows dual boot HP is gathering dust in the closet. At any rate, all boxes are running...

My first thought was, check and see if Timeshift has been storing snapshots unattended and filled root.

Allrightee then. I went ahead and installed the Appimage. G'MIC-QT seems to work. The buggy color picker tool is fixed. No joy on getting Resynthesizer to work though. If I get that working, I'll mark this as solved.

Hello dos2unix and Mike. Thanks for the input. I was following a thread about a bug in the color picker tool on the Gimp-Forum.net and learned of the Gimp Appimage there. It can be found at https://github.com/TasMania17/Gimp-Appimages-Made-From-Debs/releases. From what I now understand...

Hello. Earlier, I posted a question about adding a plugin for Gimp. That was a no go as the plugin needed some Python 2 dependencies not available in Mint 21.3 so I dropped the idea. However, I'd like to upgrade to the latest version of Gimp as it has a bug fix for the color picker tool. I...

I don't recall the steps offhand, but after guest editions are installed, you still need to enable a usb controller in the settings for the virtual machine in question.

Thanks for the help Alexzee. The Github site is a bit confusing to me, just not used to the format. I managed to unzip the plugin and get it installed but it doesn't work. None of the tools show up in any of the menus. From what I read, there are some python 2 dependencies needed that aren't...

Hello all. I don't know if anyone here can help, but perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. Ok, here's my situation. I'm running Mint 21.3. I have Gimp 2.10.30 installed. It is NOT installed as a flatpack. In fact, I don't have any flatpack packages installed. The course I am...

Thanks for all the input. I think my hesitation was reading about flatpaks using a lot of real estate. I have Mint installed on a 1 TB SSD. The / partition is 200 GB, so I should have plenty of space. But I come from the time of 5.25 floppies and no hard drives, so my knee jerk reaction is to...

Thanks Brickwizard. I wanted clarification here to avoid a possible conflict from trying to use both methods at the same time and creating a conflict with double instances of the same code "fighting" each other. ( I hope I stated that in a way that is understandable) :D Still not sure if I'm...

I know this thread is a bit ... stale, but I have a couple of questions. So, I've never installed anything via flatpak. However, I follow a few youtube channels and I would like to watch things without big brother google looking over my shoulder so I am thinking about installing Free Tube...
