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...

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...

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...

Hello all. Just encountered a, to me, puzzle and as I was already logged in here I thought I'd see if anyone has an idea what's up. Ok, I have two desktops and a laptop, all running Mint Cinnamon. All have been successfully networked for about a year. I haven't had the laptop powered up...

Hello all. I'm wanting to do a search for a tutorial or a "how to" article on how to perform a task in Gimp. My problem is that I can't figure out how to phrase my query in a one line search. Here's what I am trying to do. Mind you, in this post I'm not asking anyone here how to do it, just...

Hello again all. Afraid I've another long winded post to ask a simple question. I have an HP EliteDesk running Win 10 Pro. When I decided to turn my entire home network Mint Cinnamon only, this HP was my daily user. Come to find out, after many hours, and a few hours on the phone with tech...

Hello again all. I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to go about setting up the Wine / Lutris / Steam stuff to experiment with trying to get a certain game running. Anyway, research has shown that something called vulkan may be needed for this. Research also says that I could...

Hello all, hoping to get some opinions to consider as I try to settle on a hardware upgrade. Much to my amazement, I was able to install Virtual Box and install LMDE6 on it with guest editions. There were a few glitches getting the clipboard and shared files set up, but overall it wasn't to...

Hello all. Pulling my hair out here trying to work with folders and files. I had to reinstall Mint Victoria. After the reinstall, I copied and pasted, from another computer on my home network, several hundred files to the new install. Ie, I copied all the files in the Documents folder to the...

Hello all. Looking for advice on how to configure my home network. Research has shown me that there are many ways to set up a network. Lots of advice here and while I've tried a lot of things I read about here and other places, I've had limited success in achieving what I need. Bear with me as I...

I have two ssd's and I was dual booting, Mint 21.2 on drive 1 and Ubuntu on drive 2. I want to get wine, lutris, steam and whatever else up and running without hosing my daily use OS on drive 1 so I decided to install mint on drive 2 and do my experimenting there. Installation went fine...

Hello all. A bit of a preface. I'm not much of a gamer, nor, sorry to say, am I super adept at online research, so I thought before I try searching hither and yon for something that may not exist I'd annoy everyone here to find out if what I'd like to do is even possible. For years now I have...

Hello all. I've been using Mint for about 9 months on my 2 desktops and a laptop now and am very satisfied to get away from microsoft. Mind you, these are all on a home network that has one user, me. I recently decided to enable password protection for boot up and resume just to keep the grand...
