[Linux Mint] Start Applications minimized (start in tray)

 , , , , , , , ,

The fact that some applications do not start minimized (in tray) at system startup has been annoying me for quite some time. I find it even more annoying that you can’t simply set this directly via a checkbox in the Startup Applications for each application. The problem seems to be that each application has a different parameter for this, and therefore it cannot be done generally by the operating system (at least that’s my guess). I have therefore researched the necessary parameters for the applications I use. Simply add the parameter at the end of the Startup Applications command. For some applications, you can also activate it directly in the specific settings.

ApplicationSetting / Command
Bitwarden (Flatpack)File ⇾ Settings ⇾ App Settings ⇾ Start to tray icon
Netxcloud–background
SignalFile ⇾ Preferences ⇾ General ⇾ System ⇾ Start minimized to system tray
Steam-silent
Syncthing GTK–background

[Linux Mint] Sharkoon PureWriter Keyboard not recognized after suspend

 , , , , , ,

In January 2020 I bought a Sharkoon PureWriter Keyboard and since then I had the problem that the keyboard got not recognized after my PC (which runs on Linux Mint) was coming back from suspend mode. Back then I couldn’t find a solution and was just hoping that a newer kernel release will fix this problem in the future. But it did not. So today I was searching again and stumbled again across this post, but now I noticed the new answer from April this year. And it finally solved it!

First check with usbreset for the device name and then create the script under the following path:

sudo micro /lib/systemd/system-sleep/reset-keyboard 

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
  post)
    usbreset "USB-HID Keyboard"
    ;;
esac

And as a last step we make it executable:

sudo chmod +x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/reset-keyboard
