My solution on page 2. I have a directory /home/dave/swap/bgimages/ where I have many background images I have been pillaging from the internet. In that directory I created a bash script to change my background. Believe it or not, It wasn't too bad for someone of my limited Linux experience to...

I plugged my Seagate portable hard drive in yesterday and it took forever to appear. I clicked on it's properties and that was just as bad if not worse. I'm guessing it would have taken 8 or 10 hours to show the number of files and the size. It's a 2TB drive with about 180GB used. BUt after 15...

Hello everyone, What I want to do I feel should be easy to accomplish. I'm just not fluent enough with Linux yet to know what terms I need to search for. I have 5 computers that I am accessing via SSH on a somewhat regular basis. I would like a way where I can click on an icon/link on my Mint...

I have a tp-link TL-SG108E managed switch that I have had working pretty well. I managed to get my vlans set up the way I wanted, etc. The problem is, I can't leave well enough alone and decided to make a change. However, in my infinite wisdom, I failed to make not of my password and had to do...

I have a little bit older Dell PC running Ubuntu Server 22.04.4 LTS. It has 2 NICs and WiFi. I am trying to set it so that Connection 1 (enp0s25) gets a dynamic IP from my pfSense firewall box. Even though it's always assigned the same address (192.168.10.13) based on the MAC address. And for...

I have an HP Envy 6455e residing at 192.168.254.25 (connected via WiFi to my ISP router). I installed HPLIP as per the instructions on HP's website. I, also, installed CUPS. When I run the command hp-makeuri 192.168.254.25, it returns with an error Device not found. I can nmap the address...

I'm trying to set mine up so I can do admin duties to PCs on other VLANs. Right now I have 3 VLANs going. PC1 on DMPC (Mint) PC2 on SHPC (Mint) PC3 on SERV (Ubuntu Server) I need to be able to access SHPC and SERV from DMPC. I've been working on connecting to SERV. I have tried all kinds of...

Learn from how my day is going. My server (older PC) just crashed. Hard. I am lucky though. It was just recently set up with Linux and didn't really have anything of value stored on it yet. Now it just sits there and powers up and shuts down 2 seconds later. Over and over. I've disconnected the...

Hello. I recently purchased a Reolink 4 POE camera video surveillance system for the house. And, in my usual fashion, I did so before researching the "correct" questions. The system "works". But I can't get the sensitivity for motion/person/automobile detection dialed in. Bump it up a hair...

Well, I bought a tp-link TL-SG108E for my home network. And .... failed to write down the IP address after I changed it via the browser UI a week or so ago (yeah, my memory sucks). I've tried adjusting my client IP to every IP that I can think that I would have used ... 192.168.0.* 192.168.1.*...

I set up a small (actually tiny) PC to act as a firewall and installed OPNsense. I then adjusted the IP address on my Mint PC and connected it to the LAN port. All was good. I was able to access the OPNsense web UI and had access to the internet on my Mint PC. After a look around in the web UI...

GOALS: Ditch Windows (Done) Server for my business records (Apache, PHP, MySql)(Done) Have access from afar After some research, I think I have an "idea" of how to have access to my server while on the road. I would prefer to be able to access my server via a php web page. However, I'm no...

Hello all, I'm a newb on Mint and I've been trying a few email clients lately. I installed Thunderbird and added my age old email account at Gmail. The program did it's job and downloaded copies of 9+ years of emails. The majority are work related and I marked them read and moved them into...

I have a php page that takes a 30ish line of text and pulls relevant information and enters it into my database. I want to be able to automatically print the original text entered. I read an old post on one of the coding sites that talked about a similar situation. The poster wanted to...

As the title states, I'm a complete noob. I managed to get my server up and running with Apache2, MySql and PHP. The problem is, it is wide open. I have read a few articles here and there and made a few changes. But I'm sure it's no way near enough to keep the 12 year old down the street out...

I recently became a Linux user (Mint, if need be known) and I am wondering what wallpaper changer other folks prefer. I installed the one called Variety and it works rather well. However, I'm not a fan of most of the imagery that it pulls from the web. I looked at each link the program came...

I, being new to the Linux life, didn't look to see if my GPU was usable on Linux. Unfortunately, I don't believe it is. Well, it is. But with very limited functionality as per a video by A1RMAX on YouTube. He claims he spent 30 hours trying to get it going to his satisfaction. To no avail...

Hello. I'm currently building a new PC and will be using Linux on it. As well, as converting 2 windows machines to Linux. I've had limited experience with Linux (currently running Ubuntu on my old laptop) but am unsure what direction to go. That said, I also have some programming experience...
