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...

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 versions. ...

So no one has nay insight on this?

First off, I'm not sure if this would be the correct place for this post. But anyways, here it goes: I just built a new box with: Asus M5A99 Evo 2.0 motherboard XFX Radeon R7 260X Graphics card AMD FX 8250 (Black edition) 8 core processor In UEFI Bios, I am able to overclock, or underclock, my cpu. ...

You installed Mint 16 with 64 bit and it detected a GPT formatted disc (instead of MBR) and did what it is supposed to do, which is install using an EFI. Are you then unable to view files in the EFI partition? This might interest you. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1974392 Thanks, that li...

@srs5694 To clearify, when I boot, I get my BIOS splash screen then it turns blank. My hard drive light flashes 3 times and then nothing. My computer stalls. Upon force reboot, I get the grub, and at that point, I select my OS and it boots as normal. Per everything you posted above, I have already t...

Because of the warning I got with fdsik, I ran parted as well: sudo parted -l Model: ATA ST9500325AS (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 500GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 512MB 511MB fat32 boot 2 512MB 494GB 494GB ext4 3 494G...

Are you wanting to dual-boot with Windows, or just use Mint?

I'm on that latest BIOS update. And no I don't wnat to dual boot with Windows.

I recently installed Mint 16 on my Acer Aspire 5560 laptop. Before, I was running Mint 15 with no problems, and did an upgrade to Mint 16. I was having some issues, so I decided to do a fresh install. Now, when I try to boot my system, I get a blank screen and the hard drive stops spinning. I hold t...
