Because AMD has this on/off thing with linux, I moved on to NVIDIA. AMD development on linux seems to have has come to an abrubt stop. At some point I read that AMD has hired more poeple to help with linux driver development, but I have yet to see anything updated. In order to use the amdgpu drivers...

To thomas.raines,

I am pleased to report that I followed your suggestion and that I have completely recovered my system. There is some configuration work still to do but that's a trivial matter.

Thank you again for providing this help.
Best regrds,

I'm happy I could help.

I'm glad you found the fix, and thank you for posting it for others. I'm not sure if it's limited to IBM devices as I had this issue on an older ASUS laptop on mint 15, and my last custom pc which was an ASUS mobo. But on my latest build, I booted to bios first and prioritized my boot drives. My gue...

So, I recently built a new rig. I used an m.2 nvme device to install Linux Mint 19.3 to. With everything I read, in order to boot from an nvme device, I had to install mint in efi mode. Not a problem. I successfully installed and booted with the m.2 device. No major issues. But, on my previous insta...

You marked this as solved, but where is the resolution?

I have ran in to a similar problem before. What worked for me was to boot into the live usb, mount the borked drive, and manually copy the data to a separate drive. Then you can simply reinstall mint, restore your data, reboot and make sure everything works. After stability has been verified, make a...

Hi all. I hope this is the right seciton to post this in. If not, let me know... So, I recently reconfigured my system setup. I separated sda into 2 partions. On sda1 is my "system" partition, and sda2 is my "home" partition. I don't feel the reasons behind this is important, so ...

Hello, I'm testing Linux Mint 19 (beta) and Cinnamon (version 3.8.4) and I discover with fright that during a drag and drop, the middle mouse button (wheel button) no longer unrolls the contextual menu (which allowed to choose to copy / move / create a symbolic link ...). Catastrophe! I did not fin...

Although I am not really sure of the correlation between conky timing out and freezing on screen and dbus-user-session, conky has been running just fine since I installed it.Therefore, I am marking this thread solved...

In my research to my conundrum, I invoked a horrible screen flicker as well. Luckily, I made a backup copy before I started messing with things and found a fix for the flicker by changing: double_buffer = false, to double_buffer = true, That worked entirely.. that setting was missing for me so I ty...

So, another update... One of my friends suggested I should look in ~/.Xsession-errors to see if something is being reported around the time of the crash. Well, there are a bunch of errors, and I ended up getting side tracked on one about keyring (forgot what the error was). None-the-less, I had to i...

I have the same graphics card, or a very close version of it, and recently installed Conky myself. It blinks each time the data updates, which is irritating to me. In my research to my conundrum, I invoked a horrible screen flicker as well. Luckily, I made a backup copy before I started messing wit...

conky.config = { own_window = true, own_window_class = 'Conky', own_window_transparent = true, own_window_argb_value = 51, own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager', own_window_argb_visual = true, own_window_argb_value = 180, minimum_width = 850, minimum_height = 1100, m...

No worries...this is the conky.config section for mine which is blink free - it might help identify other possible causes.. conky.config = { own_window = true, own_window_class = 'Conky', own_window_type = 'desktop', own_window_transparent = false, own_window_argb_visual = true, own_window_argb_val...

Since upgrading to mint 18.3, I have encountered several issues. But most have been easily resolved. One that I cannot seem to figure out though, is that after running for a bit, and sometimes not until I put my box under a heavy load, my conky seems to freeze. But if I run killall conky in terminal...

I just got the update for 4.15.0-24 kernel. I run a custom kernel though and I would much rather build the kernel myself. But I cannot find the patches or source code for it. Any one know where I might find it as well as the patches? I have tried searching for it, and I have looked at the kernels th...

Any one know where I might find it? Please read the forum rules. A new question deserves a new thread. I thought my question...

Raising an old thread I know, but this recently became a quest of mine. I started with a simple google search and came across this post. After reading it, I couldn't take "no" for an answer, so I dug deeper. I found where the default bashrc is stored in Linux Mint 17.3, and probably other ...

So no one has nay insight on this?
