    Networking

    I'm thinking this may be an easy one for those in the know, I'm not in that group. I have 2 Dell computers, a laptop and a desk top. The desktop has a SSD that is loaded with music. I want to be able to access this drive from the laptop. Both have the same Linux Mint Cinnamon so it's...

    It's me again...Run

    I searched, this looks like the most logical place to start this thread. My sister gave me her old Kindle Fire..probably 5 years old. Anyway I'm just totally happy with Linux as an OS the more I learn it. So...how much of a pain is it to replace whatever system Kindle has with Linux? Is it even...

    Hoping this is correct forum to post in...

    I'm having issues with pointing Software Manager to install it programs on my main 3TB hard drive. Currently it's installing on a USB stick that isn't even in computer. It's driving me more crazy than I claim to be. I see no SAVE TO option to change it. Where am I messing up or what am I missing?

    Solved Wifi/Internet Not Connecting

    Okay, I got the new laptop, new to me anyway...it's refurbished. I got rid of Windows and loaded Linux Mint. I did find out that it has to be the router that's seen better days, went to Spectrum and replaced modem, it still won't connect to internet. Which means that I can't update the install...

    Internet connection ceased working

    Last night I rebooted my laptop and after reboot my internet connection failed. I've changed nothing..no updates or the like. I rebooted the router & modem checked to be sure the password didn't get corrupted, it didn't. I swapped usb modems, still nothing. I really don't need to replace the...

    About Off Topic as one can get...Music

    Okay, I think of myself as pretty catty with music. Especially from mid 60s until the 1980s. I have one that has stumped me for decades. Long ago a paranormal website had it as their bumper music. They listed it as an old Celtic Christmas song titled "Little Girl" It's an instrumental, very...

    I hope this correct forum

    I believe my issue is more software than hardware. After today's reboot I've been having problems with the program BRACKETS. When I save something I'm working on, I save it 3 times to different drives. Lost enough stuff that to make it necessary. Heck, last week I lost 20 years of saved...

    My Last Silly Question...For November Anyway

    I'm looking for an OCR program for Mint, Tesseract OCR looks to be the one I'm needing, has anyone used it? I have it installed, I thought I read the tutorial very well, but apparently I was mistaken...Imagine that. Long question short...How do I launch or use it, it says via terminal, I input...

    I made a major ooops

    I'm hoping for help on this one, I messed up big time. I was getting pretty bored on dialysis so I thought this would be a good time to try Bleach Bit. I was wrong...really wrong. It seemed to be going very well, no errors that I could see. I watched for the entire 3 hours it took to run...

    Portable Hard drive

    I've been using the same WD passport for years. I recently switched EVERYTHING from Windows to Linux Mint. I replaced it on both a laptop & desktop. The laptop install works flawlessly, not so with the desktop, but that isn't my question. The desktop now resides in the closet. My big...
