Linux Mint Forums

can you still get to a working desktop ? if so - - Control Center - Administration - Driver Manager - - does that indicate, if any Drivers are now available ?. it will take a little time, for the system to check & state what Drivers are available, if any. this is why your system is running in 'fall-...

can't say that I've ever heard of such an Function:
- even on That Other Operating System

so, if karlchen's solution was followed:
- you can still use the UserName as the password, as well
this is something that I've done, on some folks PCs & it worked well.

mainly, since they don't have remember anything other than their own name.

can you open Terminal and run: Post URL from Terminal, back here, on your reply.

HiGuhum,
welcome to our forum.

Do Take the Time to Read the LinuxMint users Guide that came with the installation.

yeah - more Help Resources - are always Useful ..

I'd assume that you are using the Cinnamon version ?. is there an option, to select the Boot Device? sometimes, it's F12 that does work. - - in your BIOS - is there an menu area - where you can select the Boot Device order ? what happens, if you boot that DVD in Compatibility Mode: - which is usuall...

is this the 1st time that you've run the TimeShift program

as it does run the wizard, on the 1st attempt.
- then does it continue to run that wizard?

Hi Paul,
can you check, again, that the ISO that you used to Make your Live DVD is correct:
https://linuxmint.com/verify.php
select the version, that you installed & check that it is correct.

I should go for this version: https://linuxtracker.org/?page=torrent-details&id=26a831f72642e420910cd296741882af4e137bd6 Thanks, but no, this no official and why so fat? 3.12 GB :shock: also - - be careful, as this site has an crypto-currency miner attached to that link. for my self - I've still go...

whilst you can actually install the KDE from Package Manager aka synaptic,,
- search for 'mint-meta-kde' and install that package

but as catweazel noted - you do risk, breaking your entire system,

NB: I've got both Cinnamon & Mate installed on this Laptop - but, YMMV does apply here.

the LinuxMint ISO has long exceeded the CD size .. & it now has to be burnt onto a DvD - and it will fit on that DvD - despite what your program says. the LinuxMint ISO size is about 1.8Gb in size, or a little under half of the capacity of any DvD. if you are using the Windows System to burn that di...

even though the DVD as preferred boot device, in the BIOS - - it sometimes does Not keep that setting. :? so - do re-check that boot order is still set to dvd/hdd/ order. .. try turning the machine OFF - with the disk, still in the drive & then restart the machine, to see if the machine will now boo...

Sure - - except that is Just what I've Done and - with No Issues. :? this Laptop is an Tri-Linux-Boot machine - MX17 / LM18 / LM19 & Both of the LinuxMint systems, have had Cinnamon installed, on Top of their original Mate D.E.s - - they both work, just fine. okay - - maybe you'r right - - installin...

so, it;'s a mid spec machine - - 4Gb RAM,, 1.6Ghz CPU - - running the Cinnamon Desktop Environment. maybe you should switch to using the Mate D.E instead. you can do this without any re-installation, by using Package Manager aka synaptic: look for "mint-meta-mate" and install that package. then log-...

His review is 6 out of 10, and he was not impressed with many things. Here is the article: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-mint-tessa.html Might have a look at his 'best distro' MX-17 Horizon in a VM when I've nothing better to do. are you Guy's are referring to this Review: https://www.d...

Nah - - he's saying that it is an Pilot Error

according to those pic's - the installer is trying to use SDA6 & not SDA4, for some reason.
- what happens, when you do proceed, with the option, in the 1st two pic's which are the same pic. ..
try using a split of about 50/50 - you can still adjust that, later, if necessary.

that screen_shot does show a typical Ubuntu Install, & on that particular USB Stick, you can use the program Gparted, to create another /data partition, as SDb3 or SDb4 or even SDb7or SDb8 8) and thus use it as an /data partition for yet, another booted Usb Stick. NB: you are using LinuxMint /32bit ...

you can still continue with using that old version Macrium Reflect Boot Disk, & most probably forever, as well. it works well - so why change it ?. on the later versions of LinuxMint - there is an option to use TimeShift,, & which is similar to the Windows based System Restore program. some folks, w...
