Docker on Linux mint 22

The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ Release' does not have a Release file.

Is

 echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

not working?
 

If you are running Linux Mint 22 use this instead
 

echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu noble stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null


$(dpkg --architecture)  :you can leave this if you don't know that you have amd64

$(lsb_release -cs) :will return wilma or another incorrect value. Mint 22 is based on Noble Numbat so we be better off writing out noble.


If you use another version of Mint, check corresponding Ubuntu version and check what it corresponds to in the repo https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/
"Noble Numbat" is located in the catalog "noble"

Little Red Dot

 
I saw this little angry red dot next to the clock earlier today.
I clicked on it, it said "info" and Remove 'XApp Status Applet'
Selecting info only showed me info regarding XApp Status Applet.


 

It turns out it was the built-in screen recorder.


I use Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon, and just as in other Linux desktop environments, you have a built-in screen recorder that activates/deactivates with CTRL ALT Shift R.
IT saves the file in /Videos. In Cinnamon, the filename starts with cinnamon and can look something like this cinnamon-2024-10-12T125401+0200.webm



Shortcut Key Command: Activate/Deactivate CTRL ALT Shift R
Save file location: ~/videos

Disable Can't keep up! Is the server overloaded?

Just a reminder for myself.

I get the error in the Minecraft log, and so far the only problem is the error message itself.

Plus, I keep forgetting where to shut it off.

In Paper MC, Bukkit, Spigot, and perhaps others, the log message can be silenced in bukkit.yml. Just change

 

warn-on-overload: true

to

warn-on-overload: false

Convert vcf to csv

 

I needed to copy my address book from Roundcube to outlook online office
Roundcube gave me a .vcf file and outlook refused to handle it.

The easiest way to convert for was for me to import the .vcf into Thunderbird:
Tools - Import > Address Books > vCard file

And then export it:
Tools - Export > Comma Separated

NVIDIA 460 HDMI No audio sound sink Linux mint

I lost HDMI as audio output device when I updated to Linux Mint 20.2

Using Nvidia 460 from drivers interface plus this change below, gave me back the audio HDMI output option.


Add this

pcie_port_pm=offin /etc/default/grub

so it looked like this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_port_pm=off"

and updated grub with

sudo update-grub

 The above was originally posted by summonholmes over at forums.linuxmint.com

 

My /etc/modules

already contained

nvidia
nvidia-drm
nvidia-modeset

Maybe relevant, maybe not.

 



Lutris wont remove uninstalled game

Did you uninstall something from Lutris but the icon is still there?

Not happy with just hiding the game?


Not to worry

        overseer12 over at forums.lutris.net have you covered.

 

Or if you feel adventurous you can paste:


sqlite3 ~/.local/share/lutris/pga.db "DELETE FROM games WHERE hidden=1;"


into a file named cleanlutris.sh & make it executable by: chmod +x cleanlutris.sh

and the run ./cleanlutris.sh to remove all hidden entries.

Don't forget to first hide the uninstalled game for this to work.
