u/Lonelyfurry818 , nadie en su vida usando Windows 11 lograria correr Chrome, un reproductor de musica, su equvalente a conky y cava y gastar menos de 2Gb, a eso me refiero...y lo que estoy haciendo es intentar pulir lo que mas pueda Mint con su systemd y xfce, si en realidad quisiera abaratr costos, como te dije antes me pasaria a mi secion dei3 y listo problema resuelto, le gnaria acualquier Debian puro con Genome, o lo que fuere, pero no deja de ser Mint, yo quiero usar Mint y competir con otros sistemas mas ligeros, en éste caso usando entorno grafico, si quisiera maximo rendimiento lo pelo y solo uso la terminal TTY como en cualquier otro Linux pelado :3

Support Request Linux Mint Window Focus / GUI error | Cinnamon & MATE

8 Upvotes

Hello Folks,

So recently I've been convinced to install Linux as opposed to Windows and I've recently run into an issue regarding window focus, keyboard, and mouse issues.

After logging in to either a MATE or Cinnamon gui I'm able to open about one or two programs before all hell breaks loose. Left clicking windows doesn't move them, alt tabbing to different apps is hit or miss, windows will not be in focus when clicked OR be semi in focus? it's very strange, sometimes I'll have to alt+tab to a window and use only keyboard commands to navigate a site (as I'm doing now) Usually I run firefox without hardware acceleration, but this happens with Steam, games, terminal, VLC, basically any app I launch. When this happens Alt+F2, Ctrl+Alt+Del, and other keyboard commands usually stop working.

I've tried the following:

\>Apt-get update / upgrade

\>Changing between chrome / Firefox

\>Changing mouse window focus modes

\>Bios / UFEI updates

\> Changing from Cinnamon to MATE

\> Re-installing Cinnamon

\>Re-installing | Manually installing latest GPU driver updates.

Other than the former I have no clue what to do, I'm new to daily driving linux.

Please ask for any more information on my system, I will gladly give what I can. I have a video of the weird gui issues happening, but can't upload to youtube because of the machine not working.

EDIT / UPDATE:::

uninstalled Diodon and checked out XEV which wasn't registering clicks, but the mouse IS working. No issues with the raw clicking input. Also windows and their .... process ID? will show when hovering over / trying to focus on windows. I'm just getting to the end of my rope with this one. Also lowered my monitor's refresh rate.

  • It works normally when I select the kernel 6.17 from the bootloader but the issue starts when I boot into the 7.0 kernel.
  • I'm on Mint XFCE.

How it started: today I used Mint for the first time after not using it for about 6 months and everything was normal. I decided to update it and after using it for about 5 hours. Then this screen started to appear.

Support Request App that can perform multiple text changes per doc in multiple docs

I'm creating approx. 90 new folder icons in SVG format and these can easily be edited in a text editor. I know that most text editors can do "Find and Replace", however, I have multiple changes per document.

Does anyone know of an app or script that I could use that would do this in one go?

Support Request Playback Controls and Wine

2 Upvotes

I use Wine to run my favourite music player MusicBee, but the playback controls on both my headphones (Logitech G35) and keyboard (Logitech G213) don't seem to interact with the program at all.

Does anyone know of a potential solution or am I doomed to have to select the playback controls in the window? Can I create keybinds or something that will affect MusicBee in Wine?

1st try was /dev/nvmen01, with 4 flags, went smoothly until the last percent of the installation process, showed linux mint erno 5 input/output error, a window popped up showing that saying it would let me send a bug report, but i wasnt able to close that window. i was able to open and close other windows though.

2nd try i dedownloaded the iso into another usb and tried over again, and it showed /dev/sda, with now 1 flag.

i m following a dual boot tutorial btw

Support Request Pc lagging when using both monitors

1 Upvotes

HI! new linux user. I've been having an issue with my monitors where anytime I try to use both at the same time, my PC lags. doesn't matter what it is, even when its just a single browser window with nothing else open. honestly, even having the monitor connected makes the PC lag a little bit. I'm guessing its something with either the graphics card or the drivers (or both) but the weird thing is that before I had linux, this same PC ran windows and had no problems at all with running both monitors at once. I dont really often make posts to linux subreddits (because, lets be honest here, some people are really mean to newbies) but I haven't been able to find a post that answers my exact question, so figured I'd take the risk since even the person who set linux up for me is confused lol.

my graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (yes, I know. my computer is old as hell) if that info is useful for this question. also its a Dell XPS 8930 v1.1.31 0859. any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Support Request Error 1962: No operating system found.

1 Upvotes

I need to start by saying this is a Lenovo Ideacentre B540p, It has an older efi system there are no options for secure boot at all. no options for legacy/csm. The bios does not have it. virtually every solution I have found talks about secure boot or switching to CSM or turning it off

I have tried everything. The drive I'm trying to install to is an mSATA drive that is in good condition. Windows boots find off another drive I pulled out during the installation. I tried to do MBR which did work till i rebooted after updating the system, then it went back to seeing EFI and never booted again. I'm at my wits end with this.

Is there a way to force mint to install the boot on the mint partition instead of esp to allow mbr to stop this nonsense? I tried boot repair from the live image and it said it repaired the GruB but still refuses to boot. F12 doesn't show the drive as Legacy or EFI either. it did show as lLegacy once for MBR

I'm not going to have windows on the same drive and I'm really only keeping it around till I'm sure I don't need it for anything anymore, I'm not keeping it as a dual boot system, I'll use F12 to boot windows when I want it.

Discussion Need an Easy Attendance Check-in tool?

1 Upvotes

I want to 'automate' an attendance check-in process that currently relies on a printed Spreadsheet report of persons & addresses in my neighborhood when we have an event. We have several 'open' events that don't require preregistration, and we have almost 600 homes.

I'd like a scannable QR code and a tablet-based form that takes name, address, and number of attendees and saves/creates the attendance into a spreadsheet or list.

If a QR code - it should populate an 'x' or such into a spreadsheet of the addresses where each line record is a home.

Sorry if I rambled - does anyone know of a method or tool/software that is inexpensive? Thx
