First. If the kid doesn't want to talk to the teacher then put the kid into detention until they will. If the kid misses more then a certain number of days of class. Make them take the entire grade again. Fail them.
Second (and I'm not sure how we would do this) cut them off from the internet. There are books in the library for doing research.
You are the one who said who in their right mind would return?
That implies they shouldn't have returned.
Wouldn't surprise me if that is his plan. We can both name a few countries where it is very hard to travel in or out of the country. They aren't nice places to live
Work out they said. It won't hurt they said. Working out an hour a day never killed anyone they said.
lol I'm sorry I just couldn't resist.
I was tempted to go for
The tooth has spoken the truth.
or even
The tooth has spoken the twooth
The tooth has spoken
That last paragraph is so accurate. Some people are literally being trained. Look for an opening. THEN signal and move right away. Basically no warning. I had this argument the other day. It's wrong.
You have to signal THEN look. Then move.
am i an expert ? no.
am I pretty good at it. I'd say yes. what i haven't done I have seen done enough times I should be able to get it to work.
ok updated the firewall as you suggested. still no joy for my scanner being able to scan a document and send it to the computer.
first: is the firewall set correct? (if it isn't then please let me know)
second: do i have to have a specific piece of software on my pc installed AND running? for example do i need to have Document Scanner running at the time when I hit try to scan the document or will linux just know to bring up a document scanner piece of software?
but the big item is the firewall, is it set right?
good point I read it as where my computer was getting the data from or sending it to. but i think you might be right.
although if my computer is dhcp (gets its ip from the router) then what would I put into the TO field?
or do i have to set my computers ip address so it is static?
making fire.
According to Brother (printer company) I need to set a rule for my firewall.
as you can see at that page it says :
To scan using the Scan Key Tool, open the following ports in the security/firewall software you use:
- UDP: 54925
- TCP: 54921
I think I have it correct. but i'm new to linux and to creating rules in firewalls.
Those screenshots of how i created the firewall rule. I have the incoming set to "Deny" but I would assume that means that normally deny incoming BUT the rules I created should be exceptions. At least that's how I would read that. If I am wrong please let me know.
The important part is that according to the instructions ports
- UDP: 54925
- TCP: 54921
must be opened and allow incoming traffic.
my end goal is to have the ability to push the "Scan" button on my printer/scanner and have a document scan and pushed to the computer. I am running Linux Mint 22.1
If you need more information to help me I'm happy to reply. The big item is :
is the firewall rule created correctly?
I should add that I did create a previous post about my brother printer and I went through brother to make sure the drivers are installed and setup . so that issue has been solved, now it's just the firewall.
honest question: did you respond to the wrong person?
Time to muddy the waters. Everyone who is an immigrant (legal or illegal) when asked for an email address, find an email address of an executive at a large corporation and use that.
So get the people who do live there to vote to end the hoa. If the majority wants it gone then it's gone. Easy solution.
My opinion on destroying HOA is this it’s kind of stupid. If a person doesn’t wanna live in one then don’t live there. I’m notso sure I’d wanna live in one, but then I just choose not to live there. I’ll live somewhere else. There are a lot of houses for saleright now not in an HOA. Some were built 30 years ago some were built even before then and some are newer. Take your pic on which one you want. Yeah, there is HOA‘sin the area, but you don’t have to live in one. Live and let live. If they wanna live there, let them ,why feel the need destroy an HOA?
Yeah your instructor taught you wrong. Think about about it. Unless you turn your blinker on to let people know your want over how is anyone going to give you enough space to merge in? If I give a three second follow distance and you merge into that space you are quite close when you pull in front of me. That's a way to create road rage or an accident. Because I'm probably not going to see your blinker if you hit the blinker and move. You need to hit the blinker to let others know you want to move then check for space.
Not sure where your live but around here there are a few hoa areas but yeah there's a ton of houses built in the last 30 years not in an hoa. You can even go back 20 years if you want. Probably even go back 10.
Take your last sentence and replace hoa with union.
Yeah it didn't work so well for the unions
No they shouldn't be banned. You don't want to line in one? Fine don't live there. No one is forcing you to buy there. Let those who want to live there, well... Leave them alone if that's what they want. What does it matter to anyone else?
Please note I'm not trying to attack the op. My comments are meant for anyone trying to ban them.
For those that live in an hoa and have a bad board, go run for office and get the idiots voted out. Either that or move. Probably cheaper to run for office and then fix the problems.
For example I'll send an e-mail with 3 questions and will only get an answer to one of the questions. It's worse when there are 2 yes/no questions with a question that is obviously not a yes/no question. Then I get a response of
Yes
back in the e-mail. So which question are they answering?
Mainly I'm asking all of you why do people insist on only answering 1 question out of an e-mail where there are multiple? Do people just not read? Are people that lazy? What is going on?
Edit at this point I’ve got the answers . Some are too lazy to actually read. Some admit they get focused on one item and forget to go back. I understand the second group. The first group yeah no excuse there.
Continuing edit: there are comments where people have tried the bullet points and they say it still doesn’t help. I might put the needed questions in red.
Ok first let me state I thank everyone for all the help over these last 7+ months. I'm on my final item ( I think ) to be fully on Linux. If I can get this working I'll wipe windows 10 from my pc and just be using Linux. So here's hoping someone can help me on this problem.
It's not so much of a MAJOR issue but more of an annoyance.
If I go to Document Scanner in Linux Mint 22.1 I can click the scan button. The scanner will active and scan the document putting it into a pdf or picture. No issues there, so I know the computer can see the scanner. I can also print to the printer. (Should note that the scanner is a scanner/copier)
So the system works in that direction.
If I go to the scanner and using the controls on the front of the scanner and hit scan it will say "No PC Found". So it's (in my opinion) a driver issue. I believe the linux system isn't announcing to the network that "hey I'm here and ready". Could be easily wrong there.
I went to the bother printer web site where thankfully they have actual linux drivers.
I downloaded the Printer drivers from there. I also downloaded the scanner drivers. Also the Scan-key-tool 64bit drivers.
I can't remember where I found it, and I tried looking in my history but sadly no luck.
But I do remember a post that asked what the output of
brscan-skey
and
brscan-skey -t
when I type them into the terminal I get no real result, it just looks like
andrew@linux:~$ brscan-skey
andrew@linux:~$ brscan-skey -t
so no real output there but sadly I can't remember why it was important or even where the webpage was at.. but at least you have the output of the commands.
I'm pretty sure that it's just something simple that I'm missing.
Oh yes, I also turned the firewall in Linux Mint off. Just in case there was an issue there, but no luck. To turn it off what I did was bring up the GUI for the firewall and click the slider / button next to Status. Normally it as a check mark and I set it so the shield is just greyed out.
If you need me to run a command to check something or need more info, please ask.
The printer/scanner is wirelessly connected to the router.
Thank you
You go to lift up a chip and most of the stuff (toppings) is left on the tray.
Try to scoop anything up and you get so little that it’s more headache then it’s worth.
Not saying they shouldn’t exist, just I would never order them.


Most times the computer will turn off when I click shut down, but randomly it does not turn off. The screen shot is the output as the computer is trying to shut down. Any ideas of why the system randomly doesn’t turn off? How to fix it?
I think I might put a pin in this one until I do a re-install and put it on the hard drive actually in the computer. Maybe the external drive is causing the problem ..
For example, I just purchased mass effect legendary edition in steam in mint Linux.
I also have a Windows computer Windows 10, if I installed steam onto the Windows 10 computer and logged into my steam account. Would mass effect legendary edition show up there? I’m asking here rather than trying it , which sounds kind of odd, Because my Windows 10 computer isn’t working really well right now so it’d be kind of a pain to make the test myself.
The second half the question is, if I were to buy a steam deck, would my steam purchase of mass effect legendary edition show up on the steam deck?
I realize this not a Linux specific question, But I wasn’t sure exactly where to post it out.
So my big questions are :
is there a way to get an equalizer installed.
Is there a way to fix the audio so the player Rhythmbox doesn't try to create a surround effect in music during playback? It seems like the music system is trying to "shove" the music from the left and right speakers further out to the left and right. Kind of an artificial surround sound.
I have 2 speakers and sub plugged into the computer via a usb cable that runs directly to the sub with the speakers plugged into the sub.
I'm running linux mint. it comes with rhythmbox preinstalled. I used the software manager to install
Rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar
but didn't see any real change to the interface of rhythmbox .
When I go to the 3 lines on the upper right corner (which I assume is the menu) and click that it shows (view) (tools) (preferences)
When I click preferences and then the plugins tab it doesn't show the plug in that i just installed ..
I was hoping that the plugin might give me some control for how the audio is played (some sort of equalizer)
i tried going to the package manager to see if there is an equalizer that i could add to this program. doesn't seem to be any.
any help is appreciated.
solved: answer in comments. short answer is Piper needed to be installed.
I installed solaar.
It calls my mouse a m500s. In Solaar i set key/button diversion (there are 2 drop down menus) one i set to forward button the other i set to regular. This causes one of the buttons on the side of the mouse to act as the forward button on a web browser.
key/button actions drop down menus (2 drop down menus) I set to back button and mouse back button.
when i run
xev -event mouse | grep -b2 button
4319-ButtonPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, 4381- root 0x1e5, subw 0x3000002, time 13605046, (43,38), root:(75,102), 4452: state 0x10, button 9, same_screen YES 4494- 4495-EnterNotify event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, -- 4708-ButtonRelease event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, 4772- root 0x1e5, subw 0x3000002, time 13605214, (43,38), root:(75,102), 4843: state 0x10, button 9, same_screen YES 4885- 4886-LeaveNotify event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001,
that is the result if I hit the forward button on the side of the mouse in the test window. but no result of hitting the other side button (the back button).
I know that the o/s isn't recognizing the button press but not sure how to get linux mint to recognize the pressing of the button.
any thoughts on how to fix this issue?
I can't seem to find an answer via google. In order to play Guild Wars 2 (this is a windows game so i had to use steam to get it to run in linux mint 22.1)
the game runs pretty good. the problem I can't use the ALT key .. and I need that key for certain things.
but the games acts as if I'm not pressing ALT.
I'm thinking the ALT key bound to something via steam or even to linux mint itself but I'm not sure where to even look at. sadly google wasn't helpful. Any tips on where to begin looking at? (warning : I'm new to linux so might need a few pointers).
solved:
Go to Menu.\ Select Preferences.\ Navigate to the Windows section.\ Click on the Behavior tab.\ Locate the option for 'Special Key to move and resize windows.'\ Set it to 'Disabled' (or any other preference you'd like).
By secondary windows drive : I mean in windows 10 I have a C drive the main drive. and I have a D drive (the secondary drive for extra storage). I'm curious if I put data onto it or copied data from it would windows 10 have any sort of issues with that data or even the entire drive?
I ask this because I’m in the process of moving fully to Linux mint and have a steam account in Linux. I don’t think EA has a program that runs natively in Linux. I’m wondering if there isn’t a way to grab the windows install file for legendary edition of Mass Effect and install it onto my Linux system understeam.
Or maybe there’s a more efficient way that somebody knows of to do this.


I finally got the bottom bar to be the color that I want instead of stupid gray. But whenever I’m moused over something in the system, it’s impossible to see what I’m really actually moused over. Is there a way to change that highlight color?
In the photo I’ve attached. It’s somewhat easy to see it, but in real life unless you’re sitting way off the side of the computer screen, you literally can’t see what is highlighted. It’s basically gray on gray. On a side note, I wanna meet the people who actually designed this interface give them a piece of my mind. But big question how do I change the highlight color of what I’m moused over.?
How many episodes will be on The Voice for the United States for the current season? I believe it is season 27.?
I know only like one episode of air so far, but I’m curious how many will be aired for this season? And how many live shows will there be?
OK, the title is poorly worded. Sorry. What I mean is I’m watching a movie right now. When they’re speaking, I have to turn the volume up,but as soon as there’s any sort of special effect sound I pretty much go deaf because it is so loud. For the record the movie I’m watching is beauty and the beast put out in 2017 with Emma Watson. Speaking I have to set the volume to approximately 45 out of 100 on my home theater. As soon as they start singing, it is so damn loud it’s insane. Why would they do this and how do I fix the problem?
I’m using a Roku for Disney plus and a Denon receiver AVR-E400. I’ve tried going into the settings for Audyssey and strong dynamic volume to medium but that only helps a little bit. Maximum is a possibility, but then the audio doesn’t even sound correct it’s like I don’t know how to explain it, but it sounds strange at that point.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem because the dynamic range that I’m having is insane. I’m glad I live in my own house an apartment otherwise the neighbors would be pissed off at me.
Edit: I have a 5.1 system
