This sounds worrying for your plan of in-place upgrade from 18.3 to 19. I look at the LM19 download page and the ISO images there are named linuxmint-19-cinnamon-64bit-v2.iso. I wonder if the "v2" wording is related to your issue. Maybe, it was a few years back: but if I recall I was aski...

I do not disagree with an ISO as a last resort, but that would be a DVD here, but looks like Mint 18 has no burner by default.

Tutorials say xfburn, but that is for XFCE not Cinnamon. What is the DVD ISO burner for Cinnamon called?

Which desktop environment did you use in your LM 18.3? Cinnamon, Mate, or Xfce? They are not running the same terminal program and thus may be the source of difference. Try changing the "Limit scrollback to" setting and see if you make it set to a equivalent of unlimited. If there is no w...

If a Clean install is required I can't use Mint. The sole reason I am "upgrading" is there is no other way to update Firefox and Chromium on Linux Mint. It is a massive overkill to update the whole OS just to update the browser, but with the latest browser push these days nothing works onc...

I have a Mint 18.3 system, it needs to update, but the instructions are conflicting. the form ultimately links to these instructions: https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2416 but then STEP D2. Give Your Terminal Unlimited Scrolling Open a terminal. Click on "Edit"->"Profile ...

Unfortunately In have never had to use those instructions :o , they were provided by someone else, use the ones provided by xenopeak. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=143&t=235992 Use the instructions in his listing not the community URL. Those are the same instrutions: they link to...

Respectfully, the lack of just clean re-do being an option is why upgrades are so put off in practice. When you use a computer day to day, the down time for re-set up every thing is well not ideal

the instrutions at https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2416 say Open a terminal. Click on "Edit"->"Profile Preferences"->"Scrolling". Check the "unlimited" option and click "OK". but there is not an "unlimited" option. Dose it mea...

Do that mean if I can not upgrade to Mint 19.3 by then I can never upgrade to 20+

I have always done a fresh install, but it is looking like ```apt install mintupgrade``` would let me convert to 19 and then step up?

What are the current mirrors for Mint 18.3

I keewp getting "W: Failed to fetch http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... _amd64.deb

By 2 commands I assume you mean?

We are 100% sure these can be deleted with no problem? Does anyone know what they do?

Um almost everything in that was about I need to free up the ROOT not HOME.

This is going to be a process. I am looking closer at the root and seeing things like /var/tmp are almost 3 GB. Any reason I could not del all these flatpak-cache-0KXJE0 folders from there? What do they do? I think part of the reason this is losing free space is alot of things in /tmp folders but I ...

Looking at Foxclone, the site makes it seem "involved"; installing the deb app is "WARNING - FOR EXPERT USE ONLY !!!"? How point and click is it? Any good tutorials you would recomend? What I was hoping to find was a tool where I could just create a simple restore disk that would...

Um, any idea where to host the file of the screen shot? Looks like you cant directly upload one to the form here. ok trying that Imgur you seem to have used https://i.imgur.com/55M6i6H.png Ok there is the screenshot asked for. From what I read I can just link the free space in my HOME to my ROOT, an...

Is there a good utility for burning a system restore disk?

Basically, I need to change my root partion size; but would prefer to avoid resetting up my system if I can avoid it. Basically looking to burn a DVD that would install my current system and setting on the new partitions.

If I connect the printer to wifi, it will print, but how do I make the scanner be seen that way?
