This article offers a concise walkthrough for installing TeamViewer on Rocky Linux 8 or 9 and stresses the importance of enabling EPEL first so that all required libraries are available. It then walks through downloading the correct x86_64 RPM, explains why using dnf with the --nobest flag prevents dependency conflicts, and shows how to start and enable the TeamViewer daemon via systemd. The guide also addresses SELinux issues on EL9 by setting a permissive boolean and provides a quick check using “teamviewer info” to confirm that the installation is working properly. Finally, it includes an optional section for adding the graphical client through alien conversion of a Debian package and warns about common pitfalls such as library version mismatches after system updates.

SeaMonkey offers Linux Mint users a fresh alternative when Firefox feels sluggish or over‑eager with updates, providing a single package that includes browsing, email, and RSS reading in one lightweight application. The guide walks through three distinct installation routes—starting with the safe, signed package from the official repositories, then an optional Mozilla PPA for newer releases, and finally compiling directly from source for those who prefer full control over dependencies. Each method is explained step‑by‑step with clear commands and practical reasons why you might choose one over another, whether you want a quick install, the latest security patches, or the ability to tweak the build yourself. Ultimately, the article encourages readers to pick the path that best fits their comfort level so they can enjoy a faster, more predictable web experience on Linux Mint.

This guide walks you through getting RethinkDB up and running on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, showing both a quick APT install that works only on the older LTS release and a more reliable Docker method that keeps your system clean. It starts with basic prerequisites—updating the package index, installing curl, gnupg and lsb-release—so you avoid chasing bugs in outdated packages while setting up external repositories. The native APT path is straightforward for 20.04 but will hit dependency issues on 22.04 because the repository expects a newer libuv version, whereas the Docker approach sidesteps those quirks by pulling an official image and exposing both API (28015) and web UI (8080) ports with data persisted in a mounted volume. Finally, you can verify the installation with simple commands that confirm the container is running and demonstrate a quick query, then use the included troubleshooting tips to resolve common port or permission problems before diving into your first real‑time database queries.

The article walks readers through getting ExifTool—a powerful command‑line metadata editor—onto Linux Mint 20 or 21, starting with a quick check to see if the tool is already present. It then explains how to install the stable package from Mint’s repository by updating apt and pulling in the perl module, while also offering an alternative path that pulls the newest CPAN release for those who need the latest features. Practical tips cover common headaches such as broken binaries after upgrades, permission issues when editing files, and how to avoid conflicts between multiple installations by inspecting the system PATH. Finally, the guide ends with a simple test command that extracts the original timestamp from an image, giving readers immediate confidence that ExifTool is working correctly on their system.
