Setting UP Multiple Display Monitors and Settings in Linux Mint and Ubuntu
This post is about setting up multiple display monitors on your Linux Mint or Ubuntu Operating system. In a previous post, I show how to hook up an external monitor. In this post, we will discuss the settings and how to arrange your display monitors. For the record, we refer to monitors as screens and displays as well.
See post for written instructions & pictures
https://a1websitepro.com/setting-up-multiple-display-monitors-and-settings-in-linux-mint-and-ubuntu/
Access Display Settings
To access your display settings, navigate to the start button on the lower left-hand side of your screen. Click on it then type "Display". You will see the display icon appear, click on it.
This will bring up your display settings pop-up. From here you can change your settings and arrange your displays on Linux Mint & Ubuntu. If you cannot see all your settings and buttons, click on the maximize button in the top right of the window. Note: I circled it in red to highlight it.
Selecting Displays
To work with a display, you must first select it. See below, I have 2 monitors, I can click the one that I want to work with, then I can adjust the settings. In the above photo, I selected the other monitor in order to adjust settings. One is green, the other is pink, it also labeled in order to tell the difference between the two.
Display Location
To see which display is which, click on "Detect Displays" and the system will label each display on the top left-hand side of the screen.
Screen Resolutions
Each screen has its own resolution and ratio. I covered ratios in more detail on a image sizing post. However, with resolutions, you can experiment to see which is the right setting for your displays. Make sure that you have the correct one selected in order to optimize your display. In the resolution drop menu, you can select another setting and try it out. Usually the recommended one is the best, but see what the other ones look like. Do not be afraid to try them out because you can always "revert" back to your current settings when trying other ones out.
Refresh Rate
When considering your refresh rate, remember there are a lot of different types of monitors. They made some of them for gamers who require fast responses and their refresh rate has to be a lot higher. However, when you're coding or watching videos on Rumble or other platforms, you do not have to have that high of a refresh rate. The higher the refresh rate the more CPU it consumes as well. For more information on this see What Is Refresh Rate and Why Is It Important? - Intel
Rotation
Unless you have a screen that rotates, do not even worry about this option. Some people have monitors in portrait so that is why this setting is there.
Fractional Scaling
Fractional scaling is still in the experimental development. However, I use it on my displays and it works well. I like things a little larger on my screen so I have it zoomed in at 200% to see the monitor better.
User Interface Scale
The user interface scale is another way to make your display bigger or smaller. Experiment around and see what is good for you.
Mirror Displays
If you turn on "Mirror Displays" then what you see on one monitor is what you will see on the other monitor. When you turn this off, then your monitors will be like one long wide monitor. You can move your mouse from one monitor to the other. I like this setting because I can be more efficient while working.
Arrange Monitor Displays
If you need to move one monitor to the left or right of the other monitor, it is easy to do. Just click and drag the monitors. See the video for details on how this is done.

Synchronize Google Drive with Linux Mint and UBUNTU
https://a1websitepro.com/synchronize-google-drive-with-linux-mint/
To synchronize Google Drive with Linux Mint, follow the steps below. This is a straightforward task and even if you technically challenged, as some say, you will get through this with no problems. I did not leave out any steps, and I created this so that it is easily understandable. If you disagree, then leave a comment below and I'll try to help you out.
How Does Synchronization With Google Drive Work?
When you synchronize your files and folders with your Google Drive, then you change that file or folder in real time. For example, if you have 3 computers, a tablet and a smart phone connected to Google Drive, you would change them all at the same time that you are working on the file. Furthermore, if not connected to the internet, then you cannot access those files. You must always have an internet connection in order to take advantage of synchronizing your Google Drive with all your devices.

Failed To Insert Media | Plugin Installation Fail | Theme Installation Failed | WordPress Problems
If you are seeing the error “Failed To Insert Media” in WordPress then chances are you have a permissions issue on your website. You could also experience issues with trying to install a plugin or a theme. This is an easy fix, so just follow along here.
Open FTP Program To Edit File Permissions
Open up your favorite FTP editor. I have several I have talked about in the past that I like. The post is here HTML and FTP Client Editors (a1websitepro.com) For this demonstration, I am going to use FileZilla because we can get the job done quickly. If you do not have an FTP client, then you can just open your cPanel, Plesk panel or some file explorer that is on your server.

Hit Control + Shift + O on your keyboard.
Navigate to the folder that you want to optimize, then click "Select Folder"
At the bottom of the screen, you will see where you can tweak your settings.

Click on that box and let the program know where you want those optimized picture files to be put.
Now click the Compress button.

Appalachian Trail training 2022 and vitamin E
I started getting sore and was wondering what I could do about feeling weak. I scoured the internet for a while and I found Dr Berg had a video on vitamin e. he said if you take it it will make you feel stronger and help you with the soreness. well I've been taking it now for about a week and lo and behold he was right.
if anybody else is going to take the Appalachian Trail this year shoot me a message.

How To Install Linux Mint | Create Bootable Flash Drive
In this tutorial, I will show you how to install Linux Mint and create a bootable flash drive. You can do this install a couple different ways, but I recommend backing up your current computer either way. Recently I created a tutorial on how to back up your Windows 10 computer. Windows 10 Backup Computer Files and Folders | Easy Instructions For Beginners (a1websitepro.com) Another thing that you want to note is if your computer is a 32 or a 64 bit operating system. This will let you know what version of Linux Mint that you can download.

50 years old training for the Appalachian trail this is what I'm doing
well it's been 21 days now and 21 days of training. I've been at it real hard and not showing any Mercy on myself. I love how we could put mind over matter as human beings. I've always told my children that we are spirits having a human experience. it is amazing how weak the flesh is. I post everyday on tymewarp.com. I don't always get a chance to make a video..

changing my strategy for training for the Appalachian trail
I keep refining and redoing and rethinking my strategy for the Appalachian trail. I decided that I want to get at least 20,000 steps a day in without the bag and then I'll add the bag again later. I figure having to hike through the deep snow and slushy material is equivalent to hiking in good weather with a bag on.
