Is there any way in XFCE to disable dragging a window by clicking to the right of the menus? I'm fine with dragging using the title bar, but some applications treat the gray area to the right of...

Sometimes a program will crash and I get a popup window asking whether to report the problem. I click on "send" and nothing happens. Today vlc crashed and I looked out in the /var/crash directory...

You shouldn't need "run as superuser" checked just to copy your home directory. UUIDs are hexadecimal keys associated with partitions. A file copy operation should not mess with them EXCEPT if you...

Maybe a dumb question, but is it possible the headings are written to stderr?

Try this and see what happens


flatpak list 2>&1 | head --lines=3

I understand. In this case, Mint 20 is built on top of Ubuntu 20.04, so my feeling was that using a deb package from it was less risky than getting one from some random source.

Wow, when did Canonical become Microsoft (our way or the highway)?

I searched around and found Mint had developed their own deb package for Chromium and I installed that. It lets me download to...

How do I modify the Chromium snap so that it can access any directory?

I install into small boot partitions (30 or 40gb) and my home directory mostly consists of links to other mount points. I...

Terminal console? I remember the console typewriter! (Not to mention das blinkenlights)

Add this to your .bashrc file


rank() {
du -a "$1" | sort -n -r | head -n 20
}

Then you can just type

rank /some/directory/path

What is it the mouse is doing that you want to change or fix?

GTK is a toolkit for creating GUI applications. XFCE was written using GTK libraries and methods.

Go into Settings Manager or the Settings menu and select Mouse and Touchpad.

It seems like every LTS release has "improved" some feature out of Gedit that I used. Menus (gone), a quit option (only way now is to click the X on the toolbar) and now being able to adjust the...

True, it shows the actual speed the system is running the ram at, but unless you're overclocking that's a good starting point for buying additional memory.

I was looking at adding ram to a system and found the following command told me what type and speed ram is currently in it:


sudo dmidecode -t 17

For each used memory slot, you'll get a...

Aha. I searched on "Fake start-stop-daemon called" and found this post

Interesting. I get this. The key difference I see is that your system shows "running" while mine shows "exited" and there's that "Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing." message...

I just built a Xubuntu 20.04 boot partition and tried to get xinetd and cvspserver running like on my previous 18.04 install. As far as I can tell xinetd just isn't starting and I can't find any...

Well, it's a 32" TV and a 23" monitor, so the TV is somewhat larger. If the install consistently used one or the other, that would be understandable. It was the bit where it started on the monitor...

Since both the monitor and the TV were 1080P screens, neither was larger.

I was trying to install Xubuntu 18.04 on a system that has 16.04 installed and leave that system intact. I booted the install from a thumb drive, went throught the first couple of prompts and then...

My ethernet stopped working as soon as I rebooted after installing the latest updates. I'm running Xubuntu 16.04 and went from kernel 4.4.0-127 to 4.4.0-130. When I boot the older kernel version,...

I get this error frequently when booting my system:

Is there any way to fix this?

There's not really any install process. You just download the jar files, which may be in an archive of some sort like zip, stick them in a directory somewhere and then add them to your classpath. ...
