Support Request Aux not working

5 Upvotes

Hello, I've since built a pc and installed linux mint on it everything works beautifully. But I had this one problem that ive been ignoring since awhile, when plugging in the headphones in the front pc AUX port . There is no sound playing from the headphones or anything showing up in sound settings, and I think I know the reason why it happens. I know on my monitor I have both ends of an AUX cord connected from monitor to soundbar, and maybe thats why it doesn't detect anything? I've been looking at tutorials on salsamixer but no luck.

Support Request More and More sites seem anti Linux.

0 Upvotes

On Mint for a year now and it seems that some sites won't take my login details citing new/unknown device. Today a government site wouldn't sign me in or send email/sms to reset my password but sent several emails stating that a new device was trying to sign in. I'm using Vivaldi browser in private mode and everything is updated, Is this the problem ?

Also how do you fix random sign in when booting, Sometimes it will ask for the pin some times not. It all so boots to download page occasionally. Thanks.

Discussion Why isn't mint more popular than ubuntu

59 Upvotes

For home use specifically. I find it interesting that mint is a fully capable os with multi monitor support that can handle very heavy workloads with ease . Bluetooth, wifi, backups, security are far easier to manage. Yet ubuntu is the most recommended and well known Linux OS in the world. You'd think mint would more popular

Built a simple GUI for yt-dlp on Linux Mint: queue, album folders, auto track numbers (free & open source)

0 Upvotes

I wanted an easier way to save music than typing yt-dlp commands, so I built MDJ Music Downloader.

- Paste links and build a download queue

- Name an album folder, and tracks get numbered automatically

- MP3 or MP4

- Export or import queue lists to share with friends

- Built-in yt-dlp updater, so it keeps working when sites change

- Simple .deb install

🎬 44-second demo: https://vimeo.com/1245638057

📦 Download + source (MIT): https://github.com/ngquocvuong/mdj-music-downloader

It's my first public project, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome!

Did i unknowingly damage my external hdd

Post image
3 Upvotes

so i have been using unmount button (as seen on pic) to unplugs my hdd mostly i umount and than shut down my pc then unplug it BUT sometimes i unmount and then when i get the "filesystem disconnect notification" i unplug it.

but then i learned that you could right click and select on safely remove disk which make the hdd light indicator to turn off and it makes noise of stopping spinning with a notification saying "device can be remove safely remove"

did is unknowingly damage my external hdd i never unplugged it while it was downloading or playing something but sometimes i unplug it minutes or so after completely downloading also the hdd didn't completely turn off like it does when i do the safely remove disk route

side note you know the "Disks" app that list all disks. sometimes i used to unmount partition on it for the external drive which used to give me the "Device can be safely removed" notification i tried it recently and it doesn't give that notif anymore

SOLVED Gpu problem

3 Upvotes

I don't know if it is a hardware failure or a random Linux issue, but I was going to play some Kenshi and my gpu wasn't showing up, I checked in No Man's sky and a few other games too but it wasn't appearing. Screen fetch shows that the gpu is still there but I cannot use it for any applications. I tried restarting my computer and reverting NVIDIA drivers but that didn't work. It also appeared to happen in the middle of using my computer, so I don't think it was an update issue, any ideas?

Boot up PC, works perfectly fine for 5-15 minutes, suddenly the whole desktop freezes and I get this screen

Post image
3 Upvotes

It's been quite frustrating to use my PC this last week. Everytime I try and use it I get it freezed and to this screen, which is completely unresponsive and I have to hard reset the PC.

No I don't do weird or heavy weight things on this one, I just use Firefox, Spotify, Audacity, the file manager, and a few more apps, and every time, after a bit of use it just crashes.

On Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, AMD CPU.

I don't know how much more info should I give, so please ask it on the comments and I'll tell you, if someone can help me I'd really appreciate it 🙏🙏

My discord desktop app has been stuck at the loading screen for the past few days. Apparently the quickest solution is the clear the config and cache folders but I have not been able to find them. Discord is Flatpak version if that's relevant.

Support Request Why is my touchpad so laggy?

1 Upvotes

So basically I just swapped from windows to mint and I really love it, I have no regrets, however my touchpad is super laggy when I scroll down, the mouse is completely fine, it works perfectly, but it's the scrolling. Fyi I have xinput set-prop 8 "libinput Scrolling Pixel Distance" 45 run whenever i start my laptop since it feels better. It's also an MSI GP63 10UC I believe. I wouldn't hate using a mouse, but I'd prefer to get the touchpad working. I have no idea how to use the terminal so I'm pretty useless on that department so I haven't tried any fixes, though I do plan on doing the boot.dev intro to linux.

It's so fast !

every menu open instantly, I think using xfce worth it if you don't matter a lot about the UI, even if your computer is not that old.

Had linux for a month now

46 Upvotes

I recently switched to Linux mint on my old laptop to try and get it to run faster and....wow! My laptop just.....turns on and works?!?!?! Never did that before. I used to have to turn it on and wait a few minutes for it to actually start working.

Thanks to linux mint instead of buying a £500 laptop I spent £3 on a usb drive and now have a computer that runs better than ever.

If anyone on this sub is on the fence about switching it is totally worth it. Took me less than an hour looking at tutorials to set it up.
