Thanks for the info re the lack of mouse loading.

Thanks all for your replys. ZCOT thanks for your response. I tried to boot from the stick again and this time, after a little while, Linux automatically booted from the USB and I am writing this response via the Linux OS. The mouse however did not show on screen so it was an automatic load of the fi...

Thanks kadaitcha and JerryF for your responses. Please note I have less skill at doing the things you suggest than you think! Jerry could you add a little more to how to do as you suggest in Windows 10 as I can't remember how to access the correct screen to do this or what it is called. Your descrip...

Moem,

Thanks for the response. I have just posted the issue in the installation listing.

I am currently assuming my 64GB still exist on the USB and that the missing storage & bootable issue can be resolved.

Thanks

I am soon to take the leap into building my own PC as this current one has already had a couple of hardware failures, (which is why it currently has Windows 10), and so have just successfully downloaded Mint 20 including checked & verified in anticipation of my new build. I have tried to create ...

PBear Thanks for your reply and apologies for my VERY tardy response. When you just use a PC rather than getting into the weeds regularly it all gets lost and so thanks for pointing out my error yet again. At least I am consistent! I am soon to take the leap into building my own PC as this current o...

I am failing to verify because i do not understand what appear to be very simple instructions of the how to verify. My download consists of two files: MD5SUMS, README.diskdefines and the following folders Boot, Casper, Dists, EFI, Isolinux, Pool & pressed. 1. Create a directory called "ISO&...

This is the first time I have tried to take a photo via my Logitech webcam using VLC - (Is there another way to take a photo?). When selecting video capture the system appears to freeze, although the mouse will still move around the screen but the buttons and the keyboard do not work. The webcam and...

Pjotr,

You were correct.

The primary boot device had changed from the SSD to the DVD player - How this has happened is however a mystery as it certainly wasn't me.

Thanks

Pjotr, Thanks for the link re the advise on the ESET product. When I had a Windows computer this was the best commercial product available but from the information I can see it is a vulnerability and will remove it. Re: Check the physical contents of your DVD player tray and your built-in card reade...

I have been running Linux Mint 18, 64 bit, since it's release and have applied all level 1 to 3 updates. I do not visit adult sites and run Firejail and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 In the last week when booting up I am getting the message "Remove disks or other media" "Press any key to res...

Mint18 - I applied the updates, levels 1 to 3, on the 28th March and there is now an issue 'failed to connect to CUPS server; giving up' so my printer, which has been working without issue is no longer visible. I have tried using the printing troubleshooting tool which states - The 'CUPS' print spoo...

I was beginning to think it was only me with this issue. I have also tried using the printing troubleshooting tool which states - The 'CUPS' print spooler does not appear to be running. To correct this choose System->Administration->Services-> from the main menu and look for the 'CUPS' service. I am...

I discovered the other day that my terminal will not open either from the icon or via the menu after downloading all the updates which caused the issue with Firefox. Probably not related but just for info. Mint 18 Cinnamon, 3.0.7, AMD FX 8320, 7.8GiB Memory, 114.7Gb Drives Have applied the 10 sugges...

Thanks Cosmo,

Firefox fixed with new patch applied.

Creating new thread for other issue

Thanks Cosmo,

However I am unable to apply the solution as I have found that I am also unable to open a terminal window either from the icon or via the menu!

I have just applied the latest upgrade to Firefox48 and have lost the search capability. No search occurs when using the search box. The search tab in preferences does nothing with the page remaining on whatever was being viewed previously i.e. General, Content, Applications .... How do I regress to...
