When Celluloid starts, it loads subtitles and displays them. So I have to manually choose subtitles / none from the menu. I would like to find a setting in the config file which makes Celluloid start without showing the subtitles, yet have the option to display them later, if I need them. I've looke...

No, it's not the caps lock.

I have just fresh installed 18.2 from 17.3. I used aptik to create the backup and am wishing I didn't. It just sits there, blinking, and not restoring. It insisted on encryption, so I gave it a single letter of the alphabet. Now, I'm faced with using duplicity directly to try to get back my data. Bu...

Hardware acceleration switch in chrome was off until now, because I found that as a possibly problem when I googled around and turned it off a couple of weeks ago. I've turned it back on now and it doesn't affect the problem either way. However, it possibly has made chrome a bit slower. In fact, I'v...

I am running mint 17.3 with all updates. For the past few weeks, google chrome has been showing completely blank drop down lists. This affects nearly all drop down lists on nearly all websites. Shopping sites, for example, are always affected. The lists are not invisible, they are not white on white...

There are two screensaver programs, one of which needs to start something called the Xscreensaver demon, and the other which doesn't but offers 'locking' features. I don't understand those locking features, I don't understand why there are two programs instead of one, and I don't understand the way ...

I tried this today. I have mint 17.3 but this did not work at all for me, showed no changes whatsoever. Until I added in the NemoWindow GtkTreeView row:nth-child(even), NemoWindow GtkTreeView row:nth-child(odd) { lines to the nemo section, and then I got a black background in the list view, but only...

No solution but just to mention I have the same problem.

Ah, yes, the showkey command. I got no output from that. And the same on another wired keyboard, of US instead of UK arrangement. However, I'm getting a working key on a wireless keyboard. It's keycode 86, rather than the 94 I was expecting. For me, this is sort of solved now, although I'm still a b...

@grungy_me
I have it set to english uk, and the picture it has matches my physical keyboard key for key. I have to think I have the correct one.

I'm on mint 17 cinn with an i7 chip and a logitech access keyboard like the one on this page: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-6.html I'm a noob but wondering if I have a kernal bug here. Talking about the LSGT key, the one mapped to backslash and bar (pipe) on UK keyboards, located be...

Niowluka, how do you "downgrade"?
I'm just a noob, remember!

Really? I'm sorry, I'm a real noob. There is no trace of compiz working, so far as I can see. Perhaps I'm trying to trigger the effects wrongly. I thought all those 'stop plug' and 'unload plugin' reports meant that compiz was not running things, that it ran into a wall and bounced right off. Wobbly...

Apologies, I meant to do that.

Thanks Flemur, a lot to look at there. I also noticed, BTW, that when it does send sound to the HDMI port (and thus the TV), I have no sound level control (beyond the TV remote), and I'm actually picking "speakers built in audio" for this, rather than HDMI/DP1 or HDMI/DP2. I suspected it w...

I've been playing around with the (gui) sound settings and the 'system tray' sound 'output device' list and I did get sound out of the TV speakers (HDMI) for a while there. I had sound from the TV on HDMI and could switch between that and sound from the computer speakers by going to 'speakers, built...

Hello from a Noob, Linux Geniuses! I want to send separate sound streams through my DP port (computer monitor) and HDMI port (TV), sometimes simultaneously. I can put a picture on the TV but the sound still comes through the computer speakers - these are plugged into the screen 3.5mm jack, although ...
