Living with LMDE 6 and Fooling Around with VM's

An update on Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 and some fun with VirtualBox VM's. :)

OOPS! touch ~/Desktop/hello would have worked just fine if I had not misspelled Desktop. I figure that out later, as usual.

Joe. I see you just posted this video.. I'm a huge Fan, and give it 7 Stars before I even watch it.. You were the main one to help me understand linux when I started back in Ubuntu 12.04.0. You made it so clear and fun, even with the easy linux show you used to do, and your opening "Greatings And Salutation.". Thanks.

Now let me watch the video..

Thanks Joe - entertaining and informative as ever! Great to see you're still doing these Linux videos.
I love that your typing is as error-prone as mine is 😃.

BTW, I saw you got props today from DJ Ware/Cybergizmo for your excellent bash scripts. Praise indeed!

This fun little adventure was like a fork bomb for my brain.🤣

Oh! what an enjoyable "screencast" as always. I've learnt a few things, thank you.

Lol the reason touch didn't work was because you spelt desktop "dekstop".
I'm well proud of myself for spotting that as I'm a noob... Love the video . I've been using virtualbox with windows for ages .. Going to try this on my Ubuntu box if I can ever get the video drivers to work since updating the distro it's stuck in 800x600 mode and drivers fail to install .. Pulling my hair out with it lol

[paulelliott]

You do real well !.. I think it's best you do things wrong and things don't always work I learn from you better that way.. I'm struggling learning Linux .. It appears that everything I try doesn't work and find that googling a problem will result in the first 30 finds not actually working as its for old versions or different distro .. But your vids encourage me not to give up ... Thank you again ... Although I've been at this video driver for 2 months now .. Think I might have to wipe the box lol

that Bibata cursor looks like it's landed from the future next to your Mint-X theming.

I also had a 3-core AMD Phenom that recently just died. RIP as it was the first machine my father ever built for me. I had a new case for it and powersupply to help it along but I think it helped it out the door in my case.

Recently had to wipe my normal Mint Cinnamon machine (due to PulseAudio going crackely, couldn't figure out a fix), so decided to try LMDE6. What I didn't know going in was that nVidia drivers aren't installed by default, so had to install manually. Seemed to install fine, but Sunshine Streamer app doesn't see my RTX 3080, so falls back to h264 software encoding. Not good. Unless I can find a simple fix in short order, I gotta go back to standard Mint Cinnamon.

What is the name of that mp3 volume leveling app you like so much? Thank you for posting.

What computer store in upstate did you buy it from? I live in the Capitol area and would like to meet up with other Linux/ computer nerds. Another great video, thanks for all the hard work 👍

Hi Joe, great video thank you. I have a question while I think about it. I'm having issues setting up 'bu' as a cron job. Can you please give me the correct syntax to setup a cron job that says works twice every day. I've tried complete path etc but for info 'bu' is in my bin directory in my home. Working it manually works no problem. I've also extended it to copy the results to my NAS drive for safe keeping which gets backed up offsite too. Thank you Joe and ATB

What do you think about T-Bird 115.3?
(I don't like it -- color screwed up. Intermittent deletions. Many junkie ops. Thinking about reverting to an older version) YMMV

[vram]

I wonder why they can't port the driver manager over to LMDE?

How do you show program names in the taskbar?
