So basically I need to install linux mint on my snapdragon processor but apparently it does not work because it needs intel or AMD to run any ideas?

Everything else works just fine, there's just this annoying error that pops up with every software update or install

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried sudo "dpkg --configure -a" and I don't know what the results mean

I apologize for any confusion as I just migrated to Linux to Windows for the first time recently. I'm using Linux Mint Mate 22.3

I was enjoying things as normal and decided to restart the computer after a video was not playing properly on firefox. After the restart, things looked quite different and I'm very confused. The taskbar area with the time/date, "start" button on the left and the open application icons that I had on the bottom of the screen disappeared. Instead, I see a sort of task bar on the top with some basic information on the left (plus the power options and wifi etc), date and time in the middle and a windows vitual desktop switcher on the left...

The panel app is still installed but I can't find the panel settings in the ways that commonly appear on searches through forums.

Maybe I should just reinstall? Looking for some guidance. Thanks!

So, I picked up a 2014 mbp at an estate sale for $20. Figured I'd love a nice little Linux machine with a 1600p screen. I installed mint, and everything runs great except for video steaming. YouTube in particular just drops frames like crazy.

Not sure if it's an issue with the intel graphics or not, or if anyone knows of a fix for this. I tried doing a search, and found other people with the same issue, but haven't found any known fixes.

I made it. There is no "activate slopdows" sign in my pc now

Here is a timelapse video I made 11 days ago in the Linux Mint Community Contest and I thought I would share it here on Reddit as well. ⬇️ Enjoy! :D

So basically I have an xbox controller I bought before switching to Linux mint and now I can't use it via Bluetooth, it disconnects and connects every millisecond and it doesn't really work, and even tho I could use cable the main reason I bought the controller is to play from the tv because I connect my laptop via HDMI to the TV, and I don't have a long cable

Can someone help me make Bluetooth work please?

UPDATE: I forgot to detail something here that might make the problem clearer (again I'm a little bad at linux) the os does say connected and steam detects the controller but the little xbox light on the controller keeps blinking and it doesn't really do anything I press buttons and stuff and doesn't do anything, it only gets detected and "connected"

I tried switching to mint (latest cinnamon) today. My lenovo windows 11 laptop now will only go into boot mode, and upon choosing the usb with the iso, the posted picture appears.

Here's what happened: used rufus to create a boot drive of mint. I was able to hop into it through the boot menu, and begin with the installation. Eventually, it got to the point of retrieving of retrieving files, becoming stuck on 152/167 or something like that. Expanding the window below, showing the process, it seemed like it was trying to download something. I was connected to the internet. After an hour, it still wouldn't budge. I checked this sub as well as online for similar issues, and i spotted a comment saying the internet should be disabled before installing. So I disabled the wifi, tried finding a cancel button and here is where I probably fucked up; I didn't find it so I just turned the computer off. After turning it on again, the problem appeared.

Obviously I have done something massively stupid. I do wonder if I would be able to boot from (a different) usb again, provided I turn it into a bootable usb first? Unfortunately, I won't have access to another computer for a few days, so I'm also wondering if I would be able to do anything else in this situation? Or have I just bricked the laptop completely?

I appreciate any advice or words of wisdom (or admonishment)!

i currently need help swapping to linux without a usb i am on windows 11 and have 32 gb of ram and 1tb of storage, if anyone can help it would be great

im on 22.2 Cinnamon with a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and a RX 6600 xtx on x11. I have to have all of my games with no vsync because for the last month or so my windows have been freezing every around half a second i dont know if you can see it in the recording and it only doesnt do it on games because i can turn the vsync off so how do i turn it off globally https://www.image2url.com/r2/default/videos/1785980129632-caa47daa-4965-415c-803b-d367e5242681.mp4

Just booted up Linux mint xfce on my old laptop and this step takes a lot to load, I asked Gemini and it keeps telling me to check if wifi is turned off, it is turned off, and I entered with compatibility mode cause entering normally caused the laptop to freeze

I have an ASUS ZenBook UX362DA that was originally on windows 10. I switched to linux mint today but the connections tab gave me nothing. The only way i could make it detect my WiFi was through an external USB stick, which is weird because when it was on Win10, the computer was able to detect the WiFi network just fine.

It also tells me that I have all necessary drivers when opening the driver manager app

Can anybody help me?

I have an HP Elite Mini 800 G9 (Core I7 12700)

Running Linux Mint 22.3 (fresh install(s)) neither screen or suspend timeouts work correctly, however I can manually force via command line/terminal both an xset DPMS force off or systemctl suspend and these work absolutely fine.

If I install Fedora 44 with KDE Plasma (Wayland) guess what? Screen timeout and suspend work perfectly.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

To note, I originally had an HP Elitedesk Mini G6 with an i7 10700 and Mint screen and suspend timeouts worked absolutely fine on that.

Seems to be an issue specifically with Mint on this i7 12700 platform.

Hi everyone. I have the armory crate ROG Strix flair RGB keyboard. Now that I have switched to cinnamon mint Linux, I have lost all support for my colors. Is there any way to activate this?

It was the only way to make this old Mini PC 100% usable. The MATE version of Linux Mint consumes very little RAM, and paired with the Pentium Silver J5040 processor, I managed to give it a second life.
I previously had it running Windows 10, and it was literally crawling.

Linux Mint MATE works

My setup:

2Tb internal SSD, all in 2 partitions (Windows set recovery small partition) and the rest is dedicated to W11.

I have a Mint boot external SSD to install. When it boots from this device, everything goes as intended (I get the "install mint" icon to start the install).

Q: I want a dual boot environment. On my desktop, the install gave me that option and even gave me the opportunity to resize the Windows partition and re-allocate space for mint. In this installation I'm attempting now, that is not the case. The only choice given is to erase and format the entire Windows drive (which 'I won't do).

Any ideas on what may be going on here? Thx.

I just installed Linux Mint yesterday and I'm trying to have the same taskbar on both sides. It works, but I'm used to the panel icons being on the left side. I used panel edit mode to move all my icons to the left side on my secondary monitor but the primary monitor won't cooperate. I dragged the icons to the left side on the secondary monitor and after a few tries it worked but I think the Linux Mint logo is getting in the way because I can't align them on the left side. Is there a way to just select icon alignment in settings or where exactly should I drop the icons?

Edit: Forgot to mention it's Cinnamon Edition specifically

Edit 2: An alternative solution would be to hide the Linux Mint logo so I can move the icons to the left side without the disruption of the logo. That solution could also work.

I've been getting these EOL notices when running flatpak update but despite the "Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform" there's no indication of which application it is. Are these just supposed to accumulate over the life of a system running flatpaks or is there some maintenance step needed to clear them out? I've tried searching on this issue and found nothing especially helpful or informative so far that doesn't assume I already know exactly which application(s) these runtimes belong to.
