I am getting the updates for the two linux kernels which I haven't installed in my pc.

This are the kernels I have installed:

Both linux-5.15 and linux kernel 6.8.0-52 are not installed in my pc and I am still getting there updates. How to fix it? Thanks

I have a Dell Inspiron 7577 that I've installed Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon on.

Once logged in, the same column of keys stops working after a short period of time. Specifically, the 2wsx keys stop working, consistently. All the rest seem to work fine, as far as I can tell.

When I first installed Mint, I had Secure Boot and Fastboot enabled in BIOS. When this problem started, I had read to try turning those off which I did. It seemed to fix the problem at first but then the problem persisted.

I then tried a fresh install with those two settings disabled, and I'm having the problem immediately. After a fresh install, now the Caps Lock key doesn't work after login, which is new.

On my first install, when running showkey it'd show an action when I'd hit the keys despite not getting an output whenever I'd try to type something. After the fresh install, showkey is now showing nothing.

I'm fairly certain it's not a hardware problem -- the keys work 100% in Windows, and they only stop working after I login to Mint (i.e., they work perfectly fine as long as I'm at the login screen, then stop working once I login). The problem only started once I installed Mint, which I suppose could be a coincidence but again, the keys work fine pre-login and work fine when I install Windows. Keyboard layout in Mint is properly set to English (US).

I really want to keep using Mint but this makes it a bit tough to stick with. My Googling so far hasn't led me to a solution.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Sometimes, enabling the onscreen keyboard makes the keys work again then they stop working after I close it. Sometimes they keep working for a short period after I close it. Leads me to believe it's a software issue somewhere, but no idea where to look. Driving me nuts.

I'm just trying Linux for a day and this morning i accidentaly detach mu power cable and when i reboot my PC this screen show up instead of the usual log in scree

Hello there

A couple weeks ago I started trying out various distros and so far Mint has been the one that gave me least headaches.

I have setup google drive by following this tutorial, and I am using programs within Lutris (only platform I could get them to work on). But for some reason, the programs in Lutris refuse to see the google drive.

So I wanted to create shortcuts on my desktop to the google drive, but they don't work. I get an error saying that the target could not be found which is this gibberish: /0AC5xpIbjo8a3Uk9PVA.

Any suggestions on how to fix this so I can more easily access my google drive files?

I have just received much needed advice with solving libc.so.6 and now need help with libGL.so.1 and libdrm.so.2 because I cannot find any good videos or instructions that are clear enough for someone completely new to linux (me) to be able to solve these problems. I would very much appreciate any help that anyone can provide.

I think i got most of it but i am very confused on how to install jellyfin server as i do not see it in the repository at all.

I recently got a computer that has linux mint installed and I am trying use Steam on it but when ever I am trying to open it, I get a message that says I am missing libc.so.6 and i have tried following multiple viedos that try and help with it, youtube.com/watch?v=xiNKC3BNVMk being the best one that I've seen and that has gotten me the farthest but it still hasn't solved it. Does anyone have any possible solutions?

MissionCentre is a Linux implementation of the Windows Task manager - and is the first tool I have found that quickly, accurately and easily gives me visibility on CPU, RAM, GPU, Network and docker container use.

https://missioncenter.io/ and https://gitlab.com/mission-center-devs/mission-center

I am not affiliated with this project, just came across it as I was frustrated trying to understand the GPU usage and cpu usage, and memory usage of some large batch AI (local models and API).

I is in the Linux Mint flatpack software manager, and just works.

Uses libadwaita .. the interface is beautiful and functional. If you haven't tried it and want visibility on your system, have a look. Highly recommended.

the lsusb command wont show the usb-c for the nvidia because it doesn't exist. I get the command errors when shutting down or rebooting that show the error of no usb-c found error -113 it posts it three lines and restarts.

I can't turn it off through making the power to the usb port to suspend because there is no way to do it if it doesn't exist.

Does anyone know what config file somewhere I have to edit to comment out the usb-c port on my 2070 super.

Any help is appreciated.

I have done this before but can't find where i found how to do it. AI is useless and so is nVidia.

fuck windows.

so I use this mouse and I want to know if anyone here knows if there's software that's it can use on my distro so basically Ubuntu here's the mouse

Hi, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I tried to check everywhere (googles search, solved issues here etc.) and couldn't find it.

I'm having an issue with the installer where when it gets to the partition screen and I hit the + button, I'm getting the error below (I typed this out from another screen so apologies for any typos). Nothing comes up in the partition table on boot. Not sure if I'm supposed to see any partitions from the existing windows install but if I am I don't.

We're sorry, the installer crashed. After you close this window, we'll allow you to file a bug report using the integrated bug reporting tool. This will gather information about your system and your installation process. The details will be sent to our bug tracker and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible.

The process I followed was essentially exactly what they recommend on the website for the install:

• Download Mint.iso

• Do the GPG checks

• Etch onto USB with Balena Etcher (have since tried again with Rufus but same result)

• Plugged into laptop

• Booted into Mint from USB

• Open installer and hit next not installing codecs or connecting to the internet

What I've tried so far this and other issues I've found:

• Secure Boot = Off

• Fast Boot = Off

• Renamed grubx64.efi to mmx64.efi to be able to get into Mint at all.

• Shrunk the underlying Windows 11 installation partition (although I'm happy to install over the top)

I'm seeing some places recommend a SATA setting in BIOS that needs changing but I don't have that option in my BIOS. If it helps at all I'm running a HP Spectre from around 2020.

This is my second time using mint, but the first time was for a computer that is not used often and is highly specialized.

I installed mint on my daily driver pc, and I am having a couple issues. The first issue is that I only have one display, despite having two monitors. xrandr also only recognizes one display device.

The second issue is that my screen is very dim, but the brightness setting is missing. I am using a laptop, but I have removed the battery for safety reasons as the laptop is never undocked.

Since this is my first time *really* using Mint I am totally lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, i just installed LM 22.1, the issue is: Bluetooth manager is detecting other devices but its not detecting my earbuds. Can anyone help me with that?

Hi,

I recently setup my network printer (Brother) on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon. Everything went absolutely flawlessly. I'm just wondering: Is it possible to show the icon only when the printer is actually online? I can see a setting where I can select between showing the icon "always", "only when printer is available" or "only while printing" (my own translation). I currently selected "only when available".

Apparently I doesn't matter if the printer is actually online or not. Please help if possible.

Hello. I am using Mint 22 Cinnamon. I am using Cinnamenu and when I open it via click on icon or with super L, I can't click on other app in panel, it's just closes the menu. E.g. I am in some fullscreen app, I press super L, it shows Cinnamenu with panel with apps. And when I click on e.g. Firefox, it closes Cinnamenu and it push me back to fullscreen app. While open, Cinnamenu blocks interaction with panel. Can please someone help me with this?

I want to keep the data on my drives.

Hi all, I use my LM computer for YouTube and Kodi. Last week I updated everything and Kodi has now stopped working. When I delete and reinstall Kodi the settings and add ons persist. How do I totally remove Kodi?

My undestanding of Bottles is that it improves compatibility and reduces conflicts by isolating each Windows app into its own environment. This sounds good, but... doesn't this hugely increase disk usage? Are you really making an extra copy of all the Windows-ish files for every app you "bottle"?

Just trying to figure out the pros/cons here. I've never seen people mention this, so hopefully I'm wrong here.
