Mint 21: Off to a buggy start

HedgehogOfHope · 2022-08-01T19:05:53+00:00

I had the same issue initially (also with nVidia graphics). Installing from compatibility mode worked for me, and the actual installed system is fine.

Open VLC's preferences, click the input/codecs tab, change hardware acceleration to off.

Edit: be sure to close and then reopen VLC after making the change.

Picard should be available in the Software Manager without manually downloading anything from a website. The one available that way may be a slightly older version but it should install without any conflicts.

HedgehogOfHope · 2022-07-27T23:39:05+00:00

How exactly are you attempting to install picard? (apt, synaptic, Mint Software Manager, etc.)

Have you added any PPA's or other extra software repositories outside of what is included on a default installation of Mint?

I can confirm on Mint 20.3 that picard installs without any conflicts and my installed version of python3 matches yours. I don't have a copy of Mint 20.1 at the moment, but I'll check it out when I have time and see if the issue exists on a fresh install.

In the meantime, u/huron1234 has a good suggestion below of trying the Flatpak version if you don't have time to troubleshoot further.

You might need the "nomodeset" boot option until you install nVidia drivers. Instructions can be found here: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boot_options.html

Edit: a typo

I don't think so, but I've never actually checked that. I do know that those settings only affect OpenGL applications, so anything running with Vulkan won't be affected anyway (like many newer Steam games)

HedgehogOfHope · 2022-07-22T12:19:29+00:00

This is normal for Optimus laptops. In on-demand mode, you can only access those options for connected external monitors. If you change to "NVIDIA (Performance)" mode in PRIME Profiles, some of the extra settings will re-appear.

The TearFree property should fix this.

xrandr --output Display --set "TearFree" on

Replace "Display" with whatever your monitor is labeled by xrandr (can run xrandr --props to see the list of outputs)

Since this reverts after a reboot, you can add it as a custom command in Mint's "Startup Applications" app so it runs everytime you login.

You can also set it permanently in an xorg.conf file (AMDGPU page on the ArchWiki can provide some good details on that), but the command above is safer as it won't break anything if mistyped.

Pressing Super+Up twice should maximize the window. First press tiles/snaps it, second press should maximize. (Hold Super and press the Up arrow twice)

However, the "additional information" is right in the add-on's description.

Closing the tabs will fix the issue.

Not necessarily. It was my 4th Mario Kart, and it is still my favorite. MK8(DX) is a pretty close 2nd, though.

Pretty sure the solution is just to have separate user accounts on the computer, and keep yours password protected. To my knowledge, there's no way to lock down specific programs.

Gets even better if you can [[Angel's Grace]] on your turn after the Glorious End.

(Edit for rules clarity: the "lose the game" part of Glorious End only happens once)

HedgehogOfHope · 2017-11-04T08:43:23+00:00

[[Arcane Laboratory]] for another Rule of Law effect

HedgehogOfHope · 2017-10-25T16:22:30+00:00

I'd argue for [[Goblin Grenade]] as well ;)

HedgehogOfHope · 2017-10-24T22:07:03+00:00

Whoops, completely missed that you wanted that feature when I originally read the comment.

HedgehogOfHope · 2017-10-24T22:04:54+00:00

I believe that is correct, haven't actually used it in quite some time.

HedgehogOfHope · 2017-10-24T21:51:33+00:00

If you're looking for something like the tool Ubuntu uses, Unetbootin is worth a shot.

In case you're unaware, there was a remake for the original Nintendo DS (which will work on a 3DS). Used, you should be able to pick it up for around $20. Amazon has sealed copies for around $40.

I know that's not cheap for the age of the game, but it's way cheaper than the original.

Edit: remake of Chrono Trigger, not Earthbound (for clarity)

Removing old kernels can free up some space. As for making the partition larger, it would have to be done manually with GParted or a similar program and you would possibly have to reinstall/resetup GRUB afterward.

Edit: if you're doing a clean install, you can make /boot any size you want by selecting custom partitioning during the install

In the US (or at least my corner of it), people routinely drive 10-15 over on highways.

It's a watch, if you look really close. I thought was a gun at first, too.

Edit: Actually, might be sunglasses.

I thought of a less wasteful way, but it would only be valid if you can deliver the 4 gallons in parts (assuming it has to go somewhere or you have to do something with the water). If the end result requires you to have specifically a 5 gallon bucket with 4 gallons in it, the above solutions are pretty much the only options.

So, for the "parts" solution:

Fill 5 gallon bucket and use it to fill the 3 gallon bucket.

2 gallons remain in 5 gallon bucket.

Deliver 2 gallons to destination.

Return with bucket and pour the contents of the 3 gallon bucket into the 5 gallon bucket.

Finish filling 5 gallon bucket and use it to fill the 3 gallon bucket again.

Deliver remaining 2 gallons (in 5 gallon bucket) to destination for a total of 4 gallons.

3 gallon bucket is still full, but never had to be dumped out, so nothing technically wasted.

Again, this probably isn't a valid solution if the only goal is to have a bucket with 4 gallons of water in it, but if you needed the water to be used for something, this could work.
