Linux Mint Community login calculated to irritate?
I tried to change my LM Community password but was told "must be 10 characters or longer." So I made it longer and was then told "must include at least 1 digit." So I did that and was told "must have at least 1 special character." Here's an idea. How about you say all that on the change password pag...

Re: pre-upgrade issues: trying to install Network Manager 1.
I thought I was at UP8. Maybe I added the sources.list file manually afterward. At any rate, I made sources.list identical to official-packages-repositories.list, and I got lots of W: messages, but apt dist-upgrade did run. It downloaded lots of packages and upgraded them. Now, however, Mint install...

smxi?
Is the smxi script recommended for upgrading to LMDE 2? I like the idea of using a text based script without X for upgrades, but I don't know if it has kept up with the major changes that come with LMDE 2. TIA
