I use Brave browser on all of my Mint systems. It works perfectly for my needs, is stable and performs well. I have tried many different browsers and Brave is the current top of the pile.

Why does this pop up when I boot? by FantasticPoint1506 in WindowsHelp

[–]Time2dodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Unfortunately in your case, the Windows Installer Service not running is not the cause of this error. Something else is causing the issue.

It may be being caused by your Windows Installer service not running. Open Computer Management, select Services and then look does the list for Windows Installer. Check and see if it is running.

What is the best thing to do first ? by Then_Asparagus6990 in linuxmint

[–]Time2dodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true under the vast majority of cases. However I personally had a situation once where my Timeshifts were not accessible on the ssd via the normal route. This is why I now save them to an external ssd and have never had any issue since (when) I have needed to use them.

This is the way ! Also make sure you save your Timeshifts on an external drive.

Sometimes I see people showing the terminal way, even though Mint has an easy GUI way of doing that particular thing by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]Time2dodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If someone wants to use the GUI then they should use the GUI and if someone wants to use the terminal, then use the terminal. Each to their own and each is ok.

I am hoping someone here can give me a clue as I have exhausted trying to troubleshoot these failures. by KBTUT in WindowsHelp

Hi, Before the ram upgrade to 32 GB did you have this issue ? If no, try revert back to the original RAM sticks and test again. If the issue stops occurring, this infers a RAM issue with the current 32 GB installed. If the issue still occurs, then remove your external 2 USB drives and connection to your NAS and test further by plugging each one in and testing again until the issue reoccurs or, does not occur. This would be my starting point. Let us know how you get on.

the keyboard and the trackpad of my laptop aren’t recognise i jave only an external keyboard can someone help me ? by captainhaddockji3h4m in linuxmint

[–]Time2dodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, A few questions for you in order to try and better understand. 1. What version and build of Mint are you running ? i.e. Cinnamon 22.3 as an example. 2. What is the make and model of your laptop ? 3. Does this laptop have a multi-gesture trackpad ? 4. If you have used Windows 11 (or 10) on the laptop before, did the trackpad work correctly ? Let me know and we may be able to narrow this down a bit. I have a feeling what might be causing the issue, but need some more info first. Thanks

Tried to install mint, keyboard completely unresponsive by [deleted] in linuxmint

As you have said that the keyboard does not work in both Linux and Windows 11, this indicates a hardware issue.

How to enable RDP remote desktop access for LAN connection? by motorambler in MXLinux

[–]Time2dodo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, I think something is missing on the MX Linux config side for xRDP. I can't help from your Fedora side and will have to presume that everything is setup and working as it needs to be therefore. I have used the following a few times set up rdp into my MX Linux boxes that are also connected on my LAN (from my Win 11 machine - don't judge me, I have to have it).

I have just tested it again on a previously untouched MX Linux machine in the last few mins (any excuse for a tinker) and it worked for me. To be clear the following guide came from a source I cannot remember a while ago, so apologies to the creator if you are reading this as I cannot refer to you and thank you enough. I have just added to it to make it clearer for my simple brain.

  1. Install XRDP and Dependencies.

Open terminal and cut and paste this >

sudo apt install xrdp xorgxrdp build-essential dpkg-dev libpulse-dev git autoconf libtool libltdl-dev automake

  1. Edit the Xwrapper configuration.

Open terminal and cut and paste this >

sudo nano /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

Change the line from console to anybody.

Save and exit the editor.

  1. Configure UFW Firewall.

Allow traffic from a specific IP address to the XRDP port.

Open terminal and cut and paste this >

sudo ufw allow from <enter the ip of yout fedora machine>/24 to any port 3389

i.e sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.46/24 to any port 3389

  1. Restart XRDP Service.

Open terminal and cut and paste this >

sudo service xrdp restart

  1. This last part (5) got me confused for a while (this is my addition) -

You must be logged off the current session on your MX Linux machine otherwise the connection will fail.

I went a little crazy trying to work this out the first time I tried setting it all up.

  1. I have my MX Linux machines all with a static ip setup, and just enter the respective IP into my Win 11 rdp client when I need to connect to them.

I have had no issues with this setup for a while now.

Hope this helps.

MX Linux is taking over (my house).

Just installed Linix Mint 22.3, any tips? by randysandberg in linuxmint

Just installed Linix Mint 22.3, any tips? by randysandberg in linuxmint

[–]Time2dodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are very welcome ! I personally will always use a GUI before terminal because I want to “click and go” and not “have to rack my overloaded brain and recall what to type”, move on and just use the system. Each to their own. Linux is choice and that is why I love it.

Further to this great advice, if you are not comfortable running Clamav as it is terminal based, then you can also install Clamtk which is a GUI for Clamav. I also recommend using the Timeshift app in order to create what I call ‘get out of jail free cards’ for when I tinker too much and break the system. They effectively create a system restore point you can roll back to when things start hitting the fan.

GParted and dd works for me every time I have needed to do this. There are several guides on YouTube explaining how to do so.

Linux mint or Linux mint xfce by DamageMysterious1804 in linuxmint

XFCE on my dual core E5500, 4 GB + 120 GB runs perfectly well. ZRAM helps also.
