The ppa does not work in LM 20.3.

Yes it solved my problem too. At the end it asked me to update youtube-dl which I did. Now I'm a happy penguin!

I'm having the same problem with youtube-dl in 2020! This happened in Linux Mint 20. I tried the one in the synaptic, the one on the site of the youtube-dl and the one found in the snap. All of them are stating that I need the python interpreter. I checked and I have both phython2 and python3 instal...

Thanks for your time and patience. That did it!
"Disable touchpad while typing" in Mouse Preference-Touchpad.

I'm using Linux MInt 19.2 Xfce on my laptop [see title above]. It's working fine except for one detail: when I'm typing it seems that I jump lines and end up somewhere else [in another place] as If I hit the wrong key. Most probably I would need a driver. Any ideas?

I'm using video downloadhelper in Linux Mint 19.2. It works like a treat. Besides the firefox addon [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/], one needs to download the companion: [https://github.com/mi-g/vdhcoapp]. Or else if you like terminal style you can use youtube-...

Thanks for your time. I followed the first link in a scrupulous manner. Still same answer. The printer starts to bleep but no paper is printed.

The printer is: FS-6030 MFP (Kyocera)

This is the output of the terminal: inxi -Fxz System: Host: daniel-HP-EliteBook-850-G2 Kernel: 4.4.0-66-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.4.0) Desktop: MATE 1.16.1 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.2) Distro: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena Machine: System: Hewlett-Packard (portable) product: HP EliteBook 850 G2 v: A3008D510...

I'm using Linux Mint 18.1 Mate version.

Thanks for your time and patience.

I will give you an answer next Monday as I'm out of office at the moment.

I'm trying to print via a localhost. I did connect with the printer and it is being recognized. The printer is getting my message because my laptop says so and the printer gives a beep (error). Unfortunately I'm not the administrator of the printer. There is the job accounting where each person has ...

thanks for your kind answers. Yes I did write in github, hopefully in the future somebody comes up with a solution.

How can I make LM 18 hide my login password while typing? If you don't know what I mean by hiding password, basically instead of seeing stars or dots to represent the password characters, I want it to stay blank, and not even show that. People watching me don't know how long my password is. This is ...

A big thank you to you guys for helping me out. This is what makes Linux Mint a great distro besides other factors.
Yes I did try enigmail's externsion for thunderbird. It worked well. It took around 5 minutes to have a pgp key.

Can you give, roughly, the time needed?

Secondly, when one is just importing a key, should it take so long?

I'm using Mint 18 Mate. I have seahorse installed. I'm trying to import a key to my passwords and keys. It takes a long time and I assume that Import is not successful. I try to create a new key (RSA 4096), it still doesn't show after waiting for a long time. How long should I wait for the key to be...

What about Linux Mint 19? It will start with a T. How about Tamara?

Thanks for your time and help. Yes, everybody has a different ID. It was set by the administrator of the office. At the moment I'm trying to solve it out by learning how to use Tea4CUPS. If I'll solve it out, I will write down my solution.

I'm in an office and I use LM 17.3. We share one printer. I can connect easily to the printer. It is connected via lan. As in office we have a limited number of paper to print, every time we print a window opens up to ask for job accounting ID. I tried to find how to do it in LM without being succes...
